Last Movie You Saw & Your Recommendations II

[Namcot]

I just re-watched Salt for the 3rd time.

So is Salt a Russian sleeper agent or not?

You have all those flashback scenes showing kids being trained to become sleeper agents and the scene where the Russian guy told Salt, when she was still a kid right before she was put into an American foster home: this is the last time you will see me. When you grow up you will go to Princeton and work for the CIA.

So she grew up, got a job as an agent at the CIA, and had a change of heart? She faked the assassination of the Russian President and she killed all the other Russian sleeper agents on the docked ship, after they murdered her husband in front of her by drowning him.

I don't think her husband dying is what turned her to become good because the fake assassination of the Russian President was before her husband dying.

Then after that she tried to save the U.S. President and she stopped her boss at the CIA, who was also another Russian sleeper agent, from launching nuclear missiles.

I also don't think she was turned by the CIA as an agent and was a double agent because the way the CIA was chasing her, they were truly convinced she was a Russian agent who infiltrate the CIA and they didn't know she was actually one of the good guys.

I guess what I am asking is when did she become a good guy or has she always been a good guy even when she was being trained as a Russian sleeper agent?

While I was away for the last week I saw two new movies.

Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

This was an enjoyable movie for me compared to the last two Star Wars films (Rogue One & The Last Jedi).

3.5/5 stars

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

Great film! Has all the things we have come to expect from the franchise.

4.5/5 stars

This is the full French version that was not released theatrically or on VHS in the USA until it was released on DVD in the USA in 2000.

I have only seen the US Theatrical Version in the theaters and then the same version on VHS (titled The Professional).

I knew there was some hints of impropriety between Leon and Mathilda in the US Theatrical version.

This version is 25 minutes longer and adds previously deleted extra scenes showing interactions (many of the awkward) between Mathilda and Leon which includes her wanting to sleep with Leon and asking him to.

If this movie was made today, people will be boycotting it and calling it something not so nice.

How much did you enjoy the movie, and which cut/version was better? Normally longer versions are my preference, but sometimes they cut shit out for good reason, because it overdraws the movie.

I have never really heard much about the movie, but it gets ''related'' to my moves on imdb sometimes.

I like the longer version.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

http://imdb.com/title/tt4881806/



It was okay but not great.

Some parts of it felt recycled.

A couple of the supporting characters were very poorly written and very annoying.

The trailers themselves were also a bit misleading.

Personally, I think they should had stopped after the 2nd film, the last time a Jurassic Park franchise film was actually directed by Steven Spielberg.

But you know Hollywood: as long as people will pay to see it, they will keep cranking them out no matter how banale and absurd and repetitive each new entry becomes.

So of course there will be a sequel.

It's already has a release date scheduled: June 11th, 2021.

Both Pratt and Howard will reprise their roles.

Plus I kept waiting for Hot Redhead Bryce Dallas Howard, Opie Richie Cunningham's daughter, to show some naked boobies.

BUT NOPE!

This is all we got!! A tease!!



The lack of any naked boobies in this movie is very disturbing!

How do they even dare to call this a Summer Popcorn flick?

I can't recommend this!!

2.5/5

1. it's a piece of shit movie.

2. It's only getting direct to DVD or streaming release in the USA.

3. It's being released in China theatrically first because it's one of the many recent so called Hollywood made in China movies including The Mummy, the last Mission Impossible movie, the last Pacific Rim movie, the last Transformer movie, The Wall, Furious 7, Kong Skull Island and many others where you will see a handful of Chinese actors and actresses in it.

I think it's a standing rule now. You, Hollywood, want us Chinese companies to help you produce a movie, you will have to put X number of Chinese Actors and Actresses in it even if they don't get much of a speaking role in it.

Like the Chinese actress in Kong Skull Island. She didn't do anything.

4. Why Stallone would agree to be in this other for a quick paycheck and not even care that it doesn't get a US theatrical release, it's beyond me.

It's because the Chinese market is HUGE, given that there are more than 1.4 billion people there.

They like western style films, and Hollywood is only too happy for Chinese investors to get involved. Obviously, Chinese stars are cast in many roles.

The only other market that could touch China, is India, but the audiences over there are less into western style movies and prefer Bollywood to Hollywood.
