Yep. Up to that moment, her powers were 'speculative' at best.gattoparde59 wrote:Logan
I suspect I am not the first person to say that the defining moment in this movie is when A little girl walks out carrying a man's head, which she then sends bowling through the dust. Does this remind me of Eli and Eleven? Yes. Yes it does!

Directed by Martin Scorsese. An undercover cop and a mole in the police attempt to identify each other while infiltrating an Irish gang in South Boston.

John Wick:Chapter 2
Not as good a story as the first one, but still enjoyable.

Sorry to be so negative, but this is a shadow of the trilogy that inspired it.a_contemplative_life wrote:

Re: Last DVD/Movie you bought or watched?
I have to respectfully disagree. After seeing this, I have to say that no other movie worked so hard to be so bad. The entire crew had less survival instincts than drunken teens in a slasher flick. There's no tension or horror when most of the movie felt like a bloodier three stooges routine. Every alien scene felt like a call back to past better movies. By the end it just felt sad watching the characters get turned into bloody pulps, like watching baby ducklings try to waddle across a highway. And any tension in the final act was undercut by seeing the last twist coming a mile away.a_contemplative_life wrote:

Horrible plot, forgettable characters, half-baked themes, this is mystery science theater material.

But the white aliens were creepy.

Re: Last DVD/Movie you bought or watched?
After the first two Alien movies I have pretty much skipped the rest. Looks like I didn't miss much.
The Last Survivors.
Post-Apocalyptic B movie on NetFlix. This time the problem is drought and a water shortage. The bad guy in this one is sucking up all the remaining water and working hard to decrease the surplus population. I liked it but I wonder why the futuristic waste land is in Oregon. Why not the US south west?

I'll break open the story and tell you what is there. Then, like the others that have fallen out onto the sand, I will finish with it, and the wind will take it away.

John Wick Chapter 2
Fun slaughterfest, not to be taken seriously.
Logan
R rated capefilms, so much better than the PG13 tripe.
Tideland
Weird and disturbing, and unsurprisingly ... directed by Terry Gilliam.
