Wolf Warrior 2

Fun action movie.

I first heard about this movie on the Trick or Treat Radio podcast. I jumped onto this one without seeing the first entry in the series. I will probably catch the first one (streaming on Netflix as of Dec 2017).

You have the main character from the first movie, Leng Feng, heading to Africa after leaving the military. Some rebels attempt to take over the country he is currently in and Action Movie ™ ensues. We get enough plot to keep Leng Feng in the midst of the action.

The stunts and gun play were amazing. The CGI blood less so. Two words. Improvised Crossbow.

Starring: Jing Wu, Frank Grillo, Celina Jade, Gang Wu, Hans Zhang, Qian Yu, Nan Yu, Shanshan Chunyu, Haifeng Ding, Oleg Prudius, Heidi Moneymaker, Aaron Ly

Pets of the Week January 1, 2018

If you’re seeking a big, goofy love bug to complete your family, look no further than Sam. This 3-year-old brown and white Pointer mix is always eager to meet new people and lay his head against your chest to simply enjoy the contact. He’s an energetic guy, so he’ll need a large fenced-in yard where he can run, play, and enjoy in his favorite activity: rolling around on his back, giving his back a good scratch. He seems excited about the idea of playing with other dogs but isn’t particularly interested in cats. Sam likes kids, but he weighs 75 pounds and probably needs a household with only older children.

Her name says it all: Beauty. This solid black cat is as quiet and calm as she is pretty. She’s only 10 months old, but she already acts like a more mature kitty. She’s comfortable around other cats but prefers companions that are equally tranquil. The high energy of children makes her nervous, so she’s seeking a household that is going to provide her the calm atmosphere she loves. Beauty is sweet and affectionate, preferring gentle scratches and rubs to spirited playtime.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is a nice simple popcorn movie to cap 2017.

It is not a deep thinking movie, but it is entertaining. I saw this movie and the theater was filled with groups of teens. It was nice hearing how much they enjoyed this movie. Probably made me like it more.

I can honestly say that if I am watching a movie with an audience that is having fun, it does make me like the movie more.

I would recommend you go see this. Especially if you have MoviePass.

Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Karen Gillan, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Rhys Darby, Bobby Cannavale, Nick Jonas, Alex Wolff, Ser’Darius Blain, Madison Iseman, Morgan Turner

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

The Last Jedi did not feel as focused as the Force Awakens to me.

I felt the pacing was off and some of the transitions between scenes were rather sharp.

The story gets darker than the first, but ends on a note of hope.

I’m conflicted about the final fate of some characters. Some we learn nothing about (guessing it is being held back for a Tales movie) and others almost felt like clearing the board for the new class.

Starring: Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Domhnall Gleeson, Kelly Marie Tran

Pets of the Week December 25, 2017

Petunia’s as lovely as a flower, but don’t be fooled into thinking she’s just a pretty face—she’s equally intelligent. A recent graduate of the Pawsitive Prison Program at Leath Correctional Institution, she now knows over 20 commands, including Get Dressed, High Five, Go to Sleep, and Heel. She’s a fast learner and more than willing to add to her repertoire, especially if she’s rewarded with her favorite treat: popcorn. Petunia is a 1-year-old, hefty medium-sized, black and white, Terrier mix who’s looking for a forever home where she can run, play ball, take long walks, and bask in the sun. And when she’s worn off her excess energy, she’s ready to snuggle up and shower you with love.

Selena is named after the Greek Moon Goddess, Selene, and this gorgeous Tortoiseshell kitty truly shines. She’s only 6 months old, so she loves to spend time batting around her toys, especially the catnip mice, but she can be just as laid back as she is playful, quite often content to simply relax in a favorite spot. She likes companions, so she’ll be more than happy to join a family that has other cats. Selena already weighs about 7 pounds, so she’s likely to be on the larger size, but that’s just more to love. Her beauty is unmistakable, an enchanting mixture of black, orange, and creamy white, but it’s her charisma that will ultimately cast you under her spell.
