Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Here Today (2021) in Movies
Oct 29, 2021 (Updated Nov 2, 2021)
Here Today starring and directed by Billy Crystal, this is a film that I had heard people mention but to be honest, wasn’t sure about the story other than what I had read from the synopsis.
Written by Billy Crystal and Alan Zweibel the story is a touching one, the film is also directed by Crystal and I have to say I really enjoy his directing work as well as his acting.
Maybe not a movie for the action junkies, but if like me you like the occasional movie that touches the heartstrings then Here Today is certainly that movie, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I really enjoyed it.

Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Aquaman (2018) in Movies
Nov 1, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
Aquaman may have its flaws and it may not be on par with how Marvel have brought their characters to the big screen, but I have to say that this is one of those popcorn movies that I really enjoyed, forget the storyline of the movie, just get in there and enjoy the movie for what it is.
The effects of Aquaman look amazing, the underwater scenes look great on the IMAX screen and add to that the depth (no pun intended) of the 3D it all adds to the ride that you get with the movie and thankfully we don't get any of those purposely placed “look I’m poking in the face” 3D effects.

Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated The Meg (2018) in Movies
Nov 1, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
Now I have to say that I’ve been looking forward to seeing The Meg ever since I first saw the trailer a while back and at the time I had no idea that the movie was based on a series of books by Steve Alten, with this movie based on the first book, “MEG: A Novel of Deep Terror“, suffice to say I’ll be grabbing some of them to read very soon. Shark movies have become a little stale of the last few years and to be honest they have never thrilled me as much as Jaws, but The Meg certainly adds a whole new twist to the shark movie.

To Infinity and Beyond?
Toy Story spinoff featuring one of their most famous characters, here voiced by Chris Evans rather than Tim Allen.
Cue card at the start of the film states something along the lines that 'In 1995, a bit called Andy received a new toy based on his favourite movie. This is that movie'.
So, we have what is in effect a prequel of sorts - this version of Buzz is not a toy, nor is there and Woody or any of the other gang from those films. Instead, we have a very obviously Star Wars/Star Trek inspired movie, with a few twists along the way and some (as expected) drop dead gorgeous animation!

Brandon Lee's final movie
Famously, this is the movie in which the then-28 year old Brandon Lee (who was the son of Martial Arts legend Bruce Lee) was tragically accidentally shot and killed while filming.
That particular scene, thankfully, is not in the movie.
It's also very dark, very emo, with Lee's Eric Draven coming back to life a year after his and his fiancee's murder in order to track down and visit his revenge upon those responsible on Devil's Night, the night before Halloween.
Try watching the boardroom scene towards the end, then watch The Matrix. Spot any similarities? Similarly, the finale in an abandoned church, and then 1989's Batman. Again, any similarities you may spot?
