Movie Favorite

"Last but not least, I would just also mention a modern film. I was between Force Majure, this Swedish film, but then I thought, “Okay, let’s leave Europe. Let’s go to South America.” The Argentinian film Wild Tales was a film that I enjoyed a lot because it’s different episodes all dealing with revenge. One episode more clever and entertaining than the other. I think [it has] one of the funniest, surreal wedding scenes in film history. Probably my favorite wedding scene in a film ever. Very, very Latin American. Very brave. Muchos cojones. Incredibly smart and clever because revenge is told through so many different angles. Wonderful performances with the lovely Ricardo Darin, who is one of my favorite actors. Leonardo Sbaraglia — another wonderful Argentinian actor. A very powerful, fresh and wonderful film."

Sweet as
Number 2 in my #top10 favourite films of all time is 'A Bittersweet Life'
------------------------------------------
Without a doubt the greatest revenge #film ever made #abittersweetlife is a jaw dropping, beautifully shot, meticulously choreographed & accompanied by one of the most alluring soundtracks I've ever heard in a film. To look at this film as simply a #revenge film is missing out on why its so great, its a film about #freedom, innocence, loyalty & power with so much intricacy/depth to each if your willing to open your mind & delve deeper into its characters/themes. There's also so many absolutely stunningly #crafted, memorable, creative & tense set pieces here too that make almost every #action film look sub par in comparison. #Leebyunghun gives the performance of his career here , he's just so #cool, #stylish, dedicated & #charming that theres not one point your not #emotionally attached to him & engaged in the film. If you #love foreign films you can not miss out on this one its utter perfection & for me nothing will ever come close to how flawless it is. Make sure you watch the directors cut as the theatrical misses out a few extreamly important plot points.

Dark ominous noir

Scorsese does a masterful job of updating a classic here. It was great he used both Robert Mitchum and Gregory Peck again in this version.
The tension between Nolte and Lange is palpable especially as Max Cady continues to invest himself in his revenge.
The ending is a little drawn out and far-fetched, but highly recommended.

True Love
One of the quintessential cult films since the term was invented, The Princess Bride is a movie that everyone seems to love. The characters are memorable, the dialog is snappy and funny and the movie just gets better every time that one watches it.

War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)
2017 | Action, Sci-Fi
The war of the title is primarily one of the soul.Caesar’s revenge, when it comes, is told with poignant restraint.The conflict here is one of morality, identity and the boundaries of humanity; all the guns and napalm, are secondary to War’s purpose.
Critic- James Dyer
Original Score: 4 out of 5

Gap of Time
Enjoyed the book. The book is beautiful and clever, emotionally wrought and profoundly intelligent it will pull the reader into its wise world of jealousy, paranoia, grief, revenge and forgiveness in the stunning prose; however, I would like to add that the author could have conveyed its character Leo's anger and message across without the heavy use of foul language.
  
Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003)
Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003)
2003 | Action
Great homage to martial arts films of old, with 88+ baddies against the disgruntled bride out for revenge and to destroy Bill and his band of highly trained followers.
Once again Tarentino hits hard with great action and an even better build up, we see only part of the brides journey in this installment and it is one hell of fantastic part 1.

Can Freddy be reborn
Alice is pregnant and our good friend Freddy belives he has found a way back and that is thorugh the dreams of her unborn child. Can freddy come back to reek terror in the real world again.

At least least this one had a better story line not the same old revenge story we have become use to.

Ok low budget Horror
Another low budget Horror film available on Amazon prime. Not a bad premise as a couple of girls rig up a Horror house to get revenge on a group of girls from their sorority. Better than many low budget films of this type. It has ok gore effects considering. One for Horror fans who don't mind a low budget.
