Dunkirk

lundi 24 juillet 2017

Saw the IMAX version of Dunkirk at the Dole Theater with a friend. It was a mid-day showing in one their big theaters but it wasn't that crowded.

The movie is about the evacuation of British and French soldiers from Dunkirk, France in 1940 (before the United States entered the war) that were trapped by the German Army.

The movie is told from three major points of view and different lengths of time.

The first major part is known as The Mole, which is the pier at Dunkirk and it spans a week in time.

The second major part is known as the Air, which is about 3 RAF Spitfire planes that tries to protect the ships from German aircraft. This story spans 1 hour in time.

The third major part is known as the Sea, which spans across 1 day in time and it is about a civilian yacht called the Moonstone with its owner, his son and I think a friend of the son as they make they way from England to Dunkirk.

This movie requires one to pay attention while watching it, the Mole part was the hardest to keep track of the characters since the soldiers on the beach were kind of generic looking. The other two parts were kind of easy to follow.

My friend and I do plan on seeing this movie again.

The Mummy (2017)

dimanche 9 juillet 2017

Saw The Mummy on late Saturday night (7/8/17) at the Ward Theater.

In this remake, Russell Crowe plays Dr. Henry Jekyll who leads a group based in England that deals with all sorts of weird stuff, their labs are filled with jars that contains body parts from unknown creatures.

One of this group's members has information on something in a village within the Iraq desert which has been taken by Tom Cruise's character (the information, not the something).

However the village is held by insurgents and Tom Cruise's partner calls in an airstrike which drives the insurgents away and also reveal an Egyptian tomb which shouldn't be there.

The tomb contains a casket, which is then transported to England but along the way the plane crashes and the occupant in the casket wasn't really dead and starts to cause havoc.

Spider-Man: Homecoming

vendredi 7 juillet 2017

While the movie Spider-Man: Homecoming was slated to open on Friday July 7, 2017, some theaters opted to show it a day early (which is today).

I don't think I will sneak off to watch it tonight since I already purchased tickets for Saturday's showing.
