2019 | Action, Adventure
Just when you think the Fast and Furious franchise couldn't get any more over the top, they go and prove you wrong again.

Story is pretty average fair for the franchise. Taking two of the most popular actors and giving them their own offshoot ended up working just fine.

A lot of the action scenes (island scenes in particular) are SO absolutely unreal that you are required to completely suspend reality for much of the duration. There's nothing wrong with that (I mean, racing a submarine as it breaks through the ice coming toward you had to be topped?) as long as that's what you're looking for.

As with the entire franchise, it's a mood movie. Not earth shattering, but still a good time if you allow it to be. If you're the type to nitpick plot holes and storyboard gaps, avoid.
  
AWESOME !!!!
 I have been waiting for this book since the last one came out (Which seems like for ever ago, but in reality was only a couple months).
 Thor finally gets the girl, Or in this case a Queen Mother. Instead of the Queen Mother playing matchmaker this time, her kids decide to push her out side of her shell and set up a series of dates; really publicity stunts to gauge the public's response to the Queen Mother moving on and the possibility of new love for her. But the Queen Mother already has someone in mind, if she can get him to go along...
One of my favorite books by Carol Moncado so far, although I think I say that about ever book she writes. I would Highly recommend putting this book on your TBR Pile.

Christopher Nolan on 05 Nov:

“Warner Bros. released Tenet, and I’m thrilled that it has made almost $350 million. But I am worried that the studios are drawing the wrong conclusions from our release — that rather than looking at where the film has worked well and how that can provide them with much needed revenue, they’re looking at where it hasn’t lived up to pre-COVID expectations and will start using that as an excuse to make exhibition take all the losses from the pandemic instead of getting in the game and adapting — or rebuilding our business, in other words.
Long term, moviegoing is a part of life, like restaurants and everything else. But right now, everybody has to adapt to a new reality.”

Disney on 06 Nov:

Free Guy and Death on the Nile are moving to 2021!

Me too. Being able to go back in August, I forgot how much I missed it now not being able to go again is awful. Watching films at home just isn’t the same!

Did they not refund you for that? I think for me Cineworld did take a partial payment but then refunded it a week or so later. I haven’t paid my full subscription since February/March I think!
