Jonathan, An Enjoyable New Take On Multiple Personalities

I liked it. Going in I found a lot of negative reviews that nearly made me not want to watch it, but I’m glad I did decide to go ahead and watch it. Ansel Elgort is doing something different (or at least trying to be different) in his roles, The Fault in Our Stars and Baby are good examples, and Jonathan is a good addition to that list. In Jonathan he suffers from multiple personalities, in other words multiple individual people all sharing the same body. from Abraham Abridged https://ift.tt/2GyL1LV via IFTTT

Hunter Killer, Decent Action Fare Made Better By An Impressive Audio Track

At the outset this one is a blast for the home theater, there is a constant deep rumble on the subwoofer. It will be a good one for the home theater demo, or to show off for the friends or neighbors, especially for the LFE when it comes out in Atmos. The premise is simple, a U.S. submarine is torpedoed and so the USA sends in another with Gerard Butler as the captain to investigate and rescue. from Abraham Abridged https://ift.tt/2EIwX0K via IFTTT

Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris, More Serious But Fun Nonetheless

The final in the Gamera trilogy starts on a more serious note, with a mass grave of dead Gameras and showcasing the life of a young girl who has been made an orphan because of the destruction caused by Gamera in the battle with the Legion. There is a lot more fire and destruction this time around, even from the first fight between Gamera and Gayos. This results in the death of a great many people and predictably the government declares Gamera enemy number one with orders to destroy it. from Abraham Abridged https://ift.tt/2GrGzP4 via IFTTT

Gamera 2: Attack Of The Legion, More Fun

Gamera returns, and so does the fun. Meteors crash on earth and along with them come the Legion, an alien life form, insect/bug like creatures that will destroy all life on earth. Gamera to the rescue with some help from the army. Ayako Fujitani who has a special bond with Gamera returns, though only in a cameo. Another good Kaiju flick. from Abraham Abridged https://ift.tt/2Sbn7aE via IFTTT

Gamera: Guardian Of The Universe Is Super Fun

Super fun. Gyaos, giant pre-historic reptilian man eating birds. Gamera, a giant tutrle that flies. Gyaos wants to destroy the world, Gamera wants to protect us, and fight Gyaos. Dumb humans attack Gamera. What more can one ask for? Yup, suspension of belief is needed when dealing with Kaiju. But lots of goofy fun to be had while you are at it. If you think Godzilla is cool and fun then check out Gamera. from Abraham Abridged https://ift.tt/2EtZg1X via IFTTT

Don Juan DeMarco, For The Lover In Us

I grew up on the song Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman? by Bryan Adams. But never watched the movie. Until I was reminded of it and decided it was time to catch up. My first thoughts and impressions. I fail to see the point of this movie. No really. Johnny Depp thinks he is Don Juan and gets sent to the hospital where he impacts his shrink, Marlon Brando, and the hospital staff bringing out the lover in each of them. from Abraham Abridged https://ift.tt/2T0Zou7 via IFTTT

Only The Brave, Honoring Firefighters

The very first scene had me interested, my subwoofer was rumbling and my 4K TV was kicking into gear with excellent detail of the forest fire, as a bear on fire runs through the shot. My only thought was yay, time to relax and kick back the feet. PS: I didn’t know it was based on true events. Despite a stellar cast of Josh Brolin, Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Taylor Kitsch, Jeff Bridges, and Andie MacDowell, there really isn’t much action and the story doesn’t move forward too much either. from Abraham Abridged https://ift.tt/2Gqrs8L via IFTTT

The Andromeda Strain, Sci-Fi For The Intellectuals

When it comes to sci-fi I’m more of a Cameron lover - the Terminator series, Aliens, Avatar, The Abyss, etc. in addition to being a huge fan of everything Star Wars and Star Trek. Coming to The Andromeda Strain I didn’t know what to expect as I had no background information going in. The premise is simple, a spacecraft returns carrying alien DNA and results in the death of everyone in a nearby village except 2 survivors, an infant and an old man. from Abraham Abridged https://ift.tt/2Ll5in8 via IFTTT

IMDb Top TV

The Filthy Frank Show (2011–2017) - Have to catch up on it. Game of Thrones (2011–2019) - The best there is, and no two ways about it. An absolute must watch. Breaking Bad (2008–2013) - Stellar show with a stellar cast with stellar performances. An absolute must watch, especially for Bryan Cranston as he starts to break bad, and finally begins to enjoy being and staying bad. Rick and Morty (2013– ) - Not into animation/anime or it’s many variants, so unlikely I will ever get around to watching this one. from Abraham Abridged https://ift.tt/2PJxuAu via IFTTT

IMDb Top Movies

The Shawshank Redemption (1994) - I liked it, even enjoyed it, but always felt it was over-rated. Certainly not my pick for the top movie. The Godfather (1972) - The best and the most definitive mafia genre movie. Really lacks nothing and still holds up very well. Perfect 10⁄10 score. from Abraham Abridged https://ift.tt/2UOn7PA via IFTTT

The Mighty Peking Man Where King Kong Meets Tarzan

The Mighty Peking Man has a little bit of everything… King Kong, heartbreak and lost love, tiger, leopard, snake, snake and leopard fight, blonde lady Tarzan (yes in the jungles of India), a typhoon, lots of bad guys, one good guy, and everything culminating in a Honk Kong highrise King Kong type of ending. As “bad” movies go, this is a decent watch, though not for the home collection unless you are probably a collector of bad and B movies. from Abraham Abridged https://ift.tt/2QXHNpk via IFTTT

The House That Jack Built Is A Good One

Matt Dillon is terrifying. Very. There is something to be said about a serial killer with engineering chops. Matt Dillon does him very well. Killing comes to him with a calmness and precision that aligns with the architect and engineer that he is. Well done Matt. Over the many years that I’ve followed him I’d have thought I’ve seen it all. Guess not. Matt can still pull a few new cool tricks out of his goodie bag and this is one fine albeit scary performance from him. from Abraham Abridged https://ift.tt/2PEqlS1 via IFTTT

Titans Is Good Peeps

God knows I watch a lot of TV… so I’ve been reluctant to pick up on any new shows, unless of course something truly worthy came along. Nothing on that front the last couple of years, but that’s a story for another day. Until I recently tuned into Titans and binge-watched all the episodes with only the yet to be aired season finale remaining. Titans is good stuff and nearer to the darkness of Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy than any other show in the recent past. from Abraham Abridged https://ift.tt/2UV0iKm via IFTTT

Kung Fury: A Homage To Over The Top 80s Action And Martial Arts

This is truly funny. Yes it is over the top and ridiculously loud, but it is seriously good too. Even more incredible, it is only 30 mins long. There really isn’t much of a story to speak of. Our hero David Sandberg is both a cop and also the greatest martial artist of all time aka Kung Fury. He must go back in time to kill the greatest evil of all time Adolf Hitler aka Kung Führer. from Abraham Abridged https://ift.tt/2Lh5x2m via IFTTT

High Road To China That Doesn't Quite Add Up

High Road to China (1983) is one movie that I spent more time reading the reviews of than actually watching it. Most of the reviews are right, it’s an Indiana Jones wannabe, not done very well. But all said and done, it’s worth a one time watch simply because they don’t make ‘em like these anymore, ans especially if you are a fan of either Tom Selleck or Bess Armstrong. from Abraham Abridged https://ift.tt/2PELQSD via IFTTT
