Sneak a peek at the poetry book THE FORGOTTEN WORLD by Nick Courtright on my blog. This looks like an interesting read for sure!

https://alltheupsandowns.blogspot.com/2021/08/book-blitz-forgotten-world-by-nick.html

**BOOK SYNOPSIS**
In his third collection, poet Nick Courtright explores the world at large in an effort to reconcile selfhood as an American in the international community, while also seeking anchors for remembering a wider world often lost to view in our shared though increasingly isolated experience of reality.

Beginning in Africa with investigations of religion and love, The Forgotten World then moves to Latin America to tackle colonialism and whiteness. From there it travels to Asia to discuss economic stratification and Europe to explore art and mental health, culminating in a stirring homecoming to troubled America, where family, the future, and what matters most rise to the forefront of consideration.

Through all of it, Courtright displays a deft hand, at once pained, at once bright, to discover that although the wider world seems farther away than before, the lessons it offers are more needed than ever.

Very funny at times

Very silly thin plot (1 more)

Not as good as the first film

Not AAA rated but still fun

Back again for more blood, bullets and OTT action. Thankfully with quite a lot of the humor as well from the first film.
The plot is rather silly but it doesn't get much attention other than to serve up plenty of scenes with the lead trio going all guns blazing and with plenty of quick fire gags. Definitely not a film to be taken seriously.
We have a whistle-stop tour all around Italy as they take on many bad guys trying to bring Europe to its knees.
A bigger cast and bigger action scenes but ultimately its not quite got the fun of the original. That worked better with Reynolds and Jackson playing off each other. With a 3rd main character this time, it has a different dynamic.
Still with plenty of laughs and one you'll enjoy if you liked the first film.
