[811] John Wick 3: Parabellum

Last weekend I watched John Wick 3: Parabellum while my wife and daughter watched Aladdin.

John Wick 3 was amazing. There were some scenes I found a bit too violent and/or gory, but it didn't take away from the overall experience. I totally enjoyed the movie.

I was really happy seeing Mark Dacascos in the movie. I know he's been in some movies before, but I never really saw those movies. I knew him best as the Chairman from Iron Chef: America. Seeing his character in the movie had my imagination run wild trying to tie up his character from Iron Chef: America to the one in John Wick.

There was also a fair amount of funny moments, in the sense that they were trying to break the overall mood of the movie and give the audience a breather. Sort of how Avengers: Endgame had some funny moments in an overall intense (I can't think of any other word I can use to describe it) situation.

Anyway that's as much spoilers as I can say, if you can consider that a spoiler. It was a great movie, but there were some really violent parts that I cringed at. I appreciated the acting of everyone involved, they really got me buying in to their characters. I was either really sympathetic to them or I really wished they would get what's coming to them.

Also a special shout out to Boban Marjanovic, the NBA giant who had a scene in the movie. I hope he continues to show up in other movies. He could have a great career in specialized giant roles. Can't wait to see if he can do comedy.

[810] Avengers: Endgame

My wife and I watched Avengers: Endgame in Greenbelt 3 yesterday. We went to the 10:30 am showing, got decent seats in the side, and enjoyed the whole movie.

It was an amazing movie that I think did a great job tying loose ends and possibly setting up the Marvel cinematic universe for more movies moving forward.

I won't write about any potential spoilers, though I have read my fair share. Willingly, of course. I read that article about the guy who got back at someone who spoiled Infinity War by spoiling Endgame and it took him almost one year to do it. There were plenty spoilers there.

My wife cried a few times during the movie. Good job on the directors for hitting the right notes, because I also got teary eyed in some parts.

I just wish my wife and I were more active watching Marvel movies because I'm pretty sure we missed a whole lot of "inside jokes."

Great movie, I might watch it again if it's still showing this coming weekend.

[809] Numbering Fixed

I found the culprit. I missed naming post 788.

I made post # 787 then the next post became post # 789. And it took me this long to figure out I was off by one post.

So this post is just to make sure I have the right count again.
