What was the last movie you saw...? Part IV

[Charger]

VENOM: THE LAST DANCE

Eddie and Venom are in Mexico on the run when a creature sent to hunt the symbiotes arrives on Earth. They must evade it and a team of Special ops guys run by General Strickland. But they do get captured and taken to Area 51 but they are anything but safe in there.

The final part of the trilogy does what Guardians III did...adding some melancholy and sadness but carries it with great action and over the top humor.

Tom Hardy was made to play Eddie Brock, he absolutely shines in the role.

This is hands down the best one of the trilogy and honestly it could have been a good 20 minutes longer and I would not have minded one bit.

Great ending to what was a bit of an offshoot of the MCU.

On Saturday night, my wife and I watched Marty: Life is Short on Netflix. It's a warm portrayal of a warm person, Martin Short. Through the years, both Short's professional ups and downs are shown alongside his life with family and friends. Throughout, it touches on his tragedies in losing close family members and how he coped through acts of remembrance. The professional stuff is interesting and funny, the family and friends segments are warm and dynamic and the segments on loss left me and my wife with tears as we reflected on the losses in our own lives.

In sum, it's a presentation of a life well lived, a life lived with warmth, courage, humor, and kindness. Unless he was roasting one of his friends, and then kindness went out the window, in a loving sort of way.

I had a feeling you would enjoy it

Greenland (2020)

As fragments of a planet-killing comet strike the Earth, a man (Gerard Butler), his estranged wife (Morena Baccarin) and their young boy embark on a perilous journey to find sanctuary.

Great special effects both visually and sonically.  9/10

I have not seen that one...it has been on my watchlist for quite a while... Thank's to your recommendation I think I'll put it on top of the list.



THE TUXEDO

A cab driver Jimmy Tong is recruited to be the chauffeur for a rich secret Agent named Clark Devlin, when an assassination attempt leaves Devlin comatosed and asking for help, Jimmy puts on the agent's Tuxedo which is bit more than just a suit and he finds himself trying to prevent a madman polluting all the drinking water in the US. He partners up with a beautiful Secret Agent who thinks Jimmy IS Clark Devlin.

Jackie Chan puts his body to work in this rather hilarious Action Comedy. The always lovely Jennifer Love Hewitt does a great job as his partner and Ritchie Coster does another great bad guy role.

Great fight sequences from Jackie accompanied by several laugh out loud moments. This is actually something of an underrated Jackie Chan classic.
