Without the 226 you know what word that were in Scarface

Chasing The Dragon (2017) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6015328/ Fact based crime epic about the rise and fall of a ruthless drug lord in the Kowloon Walled City of Hong Kong from the 60's to the 70's. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon_Walled_City (can't believe people lived in there ) It was alright! Despite being one of the top 5 Hong Kong films of 2017, this was not one of Donnie Yen's and Andy Lau's best films. 3.5/5

The Final Girls (2015) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2118624/ Well made PG-13 horror movie paying great homage to the 80's slasher films, featuring a nostalgic 80's soundtrack, and a story with lots of heart and warmth usually missing in any horror films. They left the ending open for a sequel and I hope there will be one. 4/5

Murder On The Orient Express (2017) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3402236/ If you read the book or have seen the 1974 excellent movie adaptation, you already know how this movie ends. But like most things in life, it's not the destination, it's the journey and in both the book and the 1974 movie, the journey is filled with suspense and tension accompanying a great build up prior to the big reveal. In this 2017 remake, nothing like that. This could had been a made for TV/Cable TV/NetFlix movie. All the characters [or suspects if you will] are not given much to do, and seeing that the movie is produced and directed by Kenneth Branagh, with him starring in the main role of Hercule Poirot, I think this was a case where the producer/director/main star was given too much Carte Blanche to do everything he wanted: the opportunity to show himself off and make the entire movie about him while forgetting the source material and neglecting the rest of the cast. It's a damn shame too because the cast is composed of some great actresses and actors including Dame Judi Dench, Michelle Pfeiffer, Daisy Ridley, Willem Dafoe, Derek Jacobi and many others. I had high hopes for this movie when I saw the first trailer for it months ago. Now I can't find words to describe how disappointed I am by this final product without venturing into 4 and 8 and 13 letters profane words. I will leave it to my friend to put my disappointment into words for me: Agatha Christie has got to be rolling in her grave!! 2/5

Winter War (2017) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6353716/ French film about the events surrounding the battle for the French Alsace region during World War 2, where the First French Paratroopers regiment along with American infantry units were assigned the task to hold the town of Jebsheim and take the neighboring forest Failure to do so will result in German units using the forest to bypass the region and encircling advancing French and Allied units and cutting them in half. https://standwheretheyfought.jimdo.com/alsace-2011-the-battle-of-jebsheim-jan-24-feb-2-1945-then-and-now/ This battle was part of a larger 4 months long campaign referred by the French as the "Alsatian Stalingrad". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colmar_Pocket#The_push_to_the_Colmar_Canal_and_the_battle_for_Jebsheim It also involved French young men who were conscripted into the German Wermacht and SS units against their will and forced to fight against French and American units. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malgré-nous Historically accurate, bloody, violent and realistic without the chest thumping glorification and the constant in your face lecturing of Allied are good and here to save the world and German forces are all evil madmen that are too often found in many of today's Hollywood World War II films. 4/5

In 40 years of watching NFL football, I have never seen a game finish like the Minnesota vs. New Orleans NFC Divisional playoff game ended tonight! Amazing how Minnesota was able to score a 61 yard pass TD with less than 10 seconds left in regulation and New Orleans was up by 1 point and it looked like they (New Orleans) have won the game. It's truly not over until it's over!

Acts of Violence (2018) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6684714/ 1/5 Another entry in a recent long strings of low budget movies that Bruce Willis has been starring in: they all will get a theatrical release in a couple of cities and then they goes to DVD and VOD. I checked my local listings and there is only one theater in this city of millions and 600 square miles showing it. If you look at Bruce Willis' IMDB info, http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000246 All these are low budget junk: First Kill (2017) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5884234 Once Upon A Time In Venice (2017) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4694544 Marauders (2016) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3963816 Precious Cargo (2016) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4651410 Extraction (2015) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4382872 Vice (2015) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3480796 The Prince (2014) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1085492 Fire with Fire (2012) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1925431 If you go deeper and look at the long list of the many producers listed under each movie, they are mostly all the same ones and they also involved in this Acts Of Violence movie. Bruce Willis couldn't be that hard up for money to make these low budget direct to video crap? How much does he get for starring in each one of these movies? $200,000? $500,000? I doubt he even gets that much considering $500,000 will be a large chunk of the entire budget for each one of these movies. Looks like if Bruce Willis is not making a Die Hard movie and getting a multi-million dollars paycheck, he doesn't have much else to do. Outside of the last 2 Die Hard films in 2007 and 2013, he made two RED movies which were good and then he had a few starring roles, major and minor in films such as The Expendables series, Planet Terror, G.I. Joe and the rest were nothing to write home about. Must sucks to be forever typecast in the same role.

Jigsaw (2017) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3348730/ I won't give the plot and its twists away: once you've watch this yourself, you will agree with me that not only is this latest entry, 7 years since the last movie, unnecessary because it doesn't bring anything new to the franchise but also because the trailer was misleading and deceitful. 1/5

Good try. Try a 2017 movie.

Morphie does it again!

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri cleaned up last night at the Golden Globes: https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/golden-globes/golden-globes-the-complete-list-of-winners-and-nominees/ar-BBI3YdD?OCID=ansmsnnews11

Better late than never, Hardkore. Thank You!

IKR!

I don't know why they put that yellow lemon glaze on the plate before putting the slice of pie on the plate. I never had key lime pie served like that before and the glaze makes the crispy pie crust soggy.

Thank you Morphie and Shrensh. You were close on your guess, Morphie: It's Key Lime pie.

Thank You, Sir T! I am 53 today!!

Went to Texas De Brazil All You Can Eat Brazilian steakhouse for my birthday.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5027774/ There are 3 old decrepit abandoned billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri. No one has used them since 1986 until Mildred Hayes (Frances McDormand) comes along and rents them to display a series of messages against the town's police and its police chief (Woody Harrelson) for failing to find the killer or killers of her teenage daughter, 7 months prior. A deep moving sad and beautiful dark comedy. Frances McDormand should get her second Academy Awards nomination for Best Actress since she won it in 1997 for Fargo. Woody Harrelson also deserves an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Sam Rockwell shines in his role as the town's idiot cop and his acting deserves an Oscar too. The rest of the cast is equally stellar: Abbie Cornish, Caleb Landry Jones, Zeljko Ivanek, Lucas Hedges, Peter Dinklage. 5/5
