Often Off Topic (37 KP) rated Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm (2020) in Movies
Nov 10, 2020
It's not as good as the original for the most part but it never could be, the character is too well known to have that level of anonymity ever again. But it has some absolutely cracking moments that more than makes up for it. A lot of the sequel is clearly scripted and those moments aren't as strong, although Maria Bakalova as Borat's daughter was a great addition, she's genuinely really funny. I still can't get over the fact that so much of the movie was made during lockdown in Spring, though. It's incredible really, and it'll be fascinating to relive some of those moments years later.

The Last One
Taken 3 or Ta3en is a good film, but should of never been 2 sequels but their was. This is the final one hopefully.
The plot: Ex-covert operative Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) and his ex-wife, Lenore (Famke Janssen), are enjoying a reconciliation when Lenore is brutally murdered. Bryan is framed for the crime and flees, with the CIA, FBI and police all in hot pursuit. For the last time, he channels his rage and particular set of skills into hunting down Lenore's real killers, taking his revenge and protecting the one important thing left in his life: his daughter, Kim (Maggie Grace).
I just recordmend watching the first one.

Not Going to Be Ignored
Fatal Attraction- is a excellent movie both Micheal Douglas and Glenn Close are excellent in it.
The plot: For Dan Gallagher (Michael Douglas), life is good. He is on the rise at his New York law firm, is happily married to his wife, Beth (Anne Archer), and has a loving daughter. But, after a casual fling with a sultry book editor named Alex (Glenn Close), everything changes. Jilted by Dan, Alex becomes unstable, her behavior escalating from aggressive pursuit to obsessive stalking. Dan realizes that his main problem is not hiding his affair, but rather saving himself and his family.
A excellent psychological thriller. A must see.

Slow start but pretty good once it gets going...
The game, which is some-what derivative, takes a long time to get going, forcing the player to read and barely participate in the action for nearly an hour!
But, once to you're in, the gameplay is pretty solid for this type of game.
The major issue here though, is that opening. You need a lot of patience and since this game is 3+, it failed to engage my 8 year old daughter, stretching her attention span to breaking point.
Definitely needs to speed things up but once in, the game does what says on the tin.

Good follow up series.
After the original @Save Me was one of the best TV shows back in 2018, everyone wanted to know if and when there would be a 2nd series. Well it's taken 2 years but here we are. A Father on a quest to rescue his daughter from child sex abusers. All the main cast are back again. It's still very interesting in reaching it's conclusion. Although not as intense or gripping as the first series. The last couple of episodes are a bit slow and some plot lines don't add much to the story. If you really want to see the conclusion of the 1st Series then definitely watch this.

Sweet Little Innocent Girl
Orphan- is a really good psychological horror film about a orphan who seems sweet and innocent at first but it turns out shes not. Plus the twist is excellent. The cast is really good expectally Isabelle Fuhrman she was fantasic and excellent.
The Plot: Devastated by the loss of their unborn baby, Kate (Vera Farmiga) and John (Peter Sarsgaard) decide to adopt a child. At the orphanage, both feel drawn to a little girl (Isabelle Fuhrman) named Esther, and soon the couple take their new daughter home. But when a dangerous series of events unfolds, Kate begins to suspect that there is something evil lurking behind the child's angelic exterior.
Its a excellent movie.
