While not a unique concept, the movie has some great lines and laugh out loud moments. I promise you, it picks up 30 minutes before the end of the movie and slides into home plate for a home run of an ending.

It is a shame that we finally get to see “The Wolverine” as he was intended to be, but struggling with his powers since his time has finally come...it would have been nice to see one more film with Hugh Jackman in his full glory as Wolverine (and an R rating) before getting to this story.

I recommend enduring the lengthy credit roll as there is a surprise with which you will be rewarded! That said, two more mentions...Sir Paul McCartney appears ever so briefly as Jack’s Uncle Jack. Brief, but brilliant. Golshifteh Farahani is breathtaking.

In addition to the sentimental sap, the upending uproar, and...hot bodies, this film packs some seriously, outrageously, over the top, spectacular action. Sure, it’s ridiculous. Isn’t most action these days? It’s also engaging, exhilarating, all-encompassing action.

It was with this plot that comedian-actor, Jordan Peele (Keanu), launched his directorial debut into a film, and not just any film but one that reflects the underlying current of racism in our society as well as provides a riveting horror tale.

There is a reason Girls is an awarding winning show and Season Six is holding to the tradition of excellent writing and acting. The season is well thought out and gripping and gives the audience some of that “personal growth” we have been wanting from these characters.

An innocence absent of complete naivete on the part of Maddy and Olly is guided by exceptional supporting performances and a synergy amongst the extended cast in Everything, Everything

The Blu-ray is presented in 16:9 anaphoric widescreen that is a very nice bump over the originally released DVD version and the soundtrack really packs a punch on the action scenes.

Unforgiven brought Eastwood to a whole new level of filmmaking and changed the concept of the old westerns. Munny is a flawed yet human character anyone can relate to and Hackman’s performance is nuanced.

Mila Jovovich is impressive and her battle skills are on point and apparently, she did her own stunts, which is amazing. She commands attention in this film and not just because she is the lead. She has a presence as Alice that is undeniable.
