If you have Netflix you have probably seen the ads for a new Mark Wahlberg movie called Spenser Confidential. I got halfway through the awesome and fun movie before realizing it was the Spenser For Hire reboot I briefly read about a while back. According to the news stories from last year, the movie was to be called Wonderland. This is a better title. Winston Duke, who played M’Baku in the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, plays Hawk. The character previously played by Star Trek Deep Space Nine’s Avery Brooks. Peter Berg is the director and this is his 5th movie with Mark Wahlberg. Mile 22, Patriots Day, Deepwater Horizon and Lone Survivor. The director also made Hancock, The Kingdom, Friday Night Lights, The Rundown and Very Bad Things, but since 2012’s Battleship, his non-documentaries have all featured Marky Mark. This movie and the Spenser For Hire series were both based on a series of books by Robert B. Parker, who also wrote books featuring the character Jesse Stone, who was played by Tom Selleck in 9 TV movies for CBS and The Hallmark Channel. He also wrote 2 Philip Marlowe (Raymond Chandler) books Poodle Springs and Perchance to Dream. HBO made a movie of Poodle Spings w/ James Caan. I loved everything about this movie. I really hope Netflix gives us 6 more of these. #spenserforhire #spenserconfidential #robertbparker #markwahlberg #averybrooks #startrekds9 #deepspacenine #jessestone #philipmarlowe #raymondchandler #tomselleck #mbaku #winstonduke #markymark #peterberg #wonderland #alanarkin #ilizashlesinger #mile22 #battleship #hancock #verybadthings #therundown #netflix (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9tTEN6Bi_w/?igshid=8uyh0ic23y7y

Spokane! Is it safe to get to the trash? @emojimovie at @garlandtheaterspokane 9:30am, yes I am hangin four with children in the morning making them laugh. It’s a gift. For me and them. Next up I’m watching #mile22 to have an absolutely dichotomy of juxtaposition. (at The Garland Theater) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnHIk7GAvP8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1l0np7fcz5jdq
So this weekend I finally saw #mile22 and damn it, was I disappointed!!! I like watching Marky Mark movies but neither of the films he has done with Peter berg has caught my eye but I figured this was interesting enough to see in theaters. I was wrong. 16 blocks and Safe house has told this story better. The only difference between those films and this one, is that they had an ending. This film spent too much time trying to set up the trilogy. I’m not even interested in seeing the next installment because Mark Wahlberg’s character is so unlikeable. Spent the whole time thinking Iko Uwais would make his character humble when they find common ground as the story progressed but that didn’t happened. He was an asshole the whole film. Not even a likable asshole (like how Red was an asshole on that 70’s show but was still likable). The fights choreography is As brutal and violent and gruesome as the film “the raid” but no where near it when it comes to directing and editing. Whoever Peter Berg or the studio hired to edit made a horrible decision. They ruined every chance they had to build suspense, they ruined Iko Uwais perfectly choreographed fight scenes and honestly, they ruined the whole movie. If the story was edited linear, maybe the story could of worked for me but the editing as all over the place. The story was all over the place. Too much coverage, too much story going on at the same time, not enough pacing, it’s just too much. Not worth seeing in theaters.

🎂 Happy Birthday to one of my favorite actors @iko.uwais! 🎉 I first saw Iko Uwais in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" (2015) as Razoo Quin-Fee, a pyromaniac, tech expert and lieutenant of Kanjiklub. In both the novel and in the movie, it never states/shows that his character died, so Disney could make spin-off movie(s)/Disney+ show of him, right? *hint hint* 😉 On another note, I still have yet to watch "Mile 22" (2018) and the Netflix Series "WU Assasians" (2019). #HappyBirthday #IkoUwais #HappyBirthdayIkoUwais #Disney #LucasFilm #StarWars #TheForceAwakens #StarWarsTheForceAwakens #RazooQuinFee #DisneyPlus #Mile22 #Netflix #WUAssassins #ShawnSigalaProblems https://www.instagram.com/p/B8c7TBKnBV-/?igshid=1jvj1a2b9jzy1
