- "It was a simple story about a boy who was lost and a girl who was broken. They fought alongside a survivor, a war veteran, and a fallen knight. I led them into battle against an evil so terrible it tried to black out the stars. We fought for each other. We fought for those who could not. But we never imagined it would end like this."

thor: ragnorok
Thor is back this time on a strange world that looks like a huge garbage dump crossed between a universal Rome named Skaar where gladiators live to entertain a being named the grand master.
And are made to think that fighting is the only way of life, set in the time of the earth's civil war against sides that agree with the new superhero law and those who deny it. This is another in between movie kind of like spider-man was but this one focusing on the question why weren't Thor or the hulk in the battle between the 2 factions. This one also ties into the last Doctor Strange movie , like why was Dr. strange talking to Thor? 9 out of 10

Jeepers Creepers 3 The Cathedral
Good ol 23 is back to ta more lives, however this time the resistance has a back up plan. Turns out in his last kill Jeepers left a little souvenir, he sawed off one of his own hands and somehow if one holds hands with it, the dead hand will wake up and show the person the creepers whole origin. What it is, where it came from and why it needs to kill every 23 years. 3 out of 10, Flaws: You always know there will be a cliffhanger. They keep on saying and even left Jeepers with a little surprise after he tried but couldn't kill everyone saying WE KNOW WHAT YOU ARE, but none ever revealed who or what he was. and in the cliffhangers people always end up saying I swear if it takes until the end of my life I will find and kill you! And if they get to the next one the one with the vow ends up getting killed first. And lastly, Jeepers Creepers 2 ended with an old redneck priest taking the creeper as trophy for killing his son by crucifying the creeper Christ style with a gun holding him at bay on his wall ending with this one sub naming it Cathedral because well......the one who killed him like I said was a priest although as we come into the long awaited third one. There was no cathedral and he was already on the rampage.

The Orville ( Star Trek Spoof)
400 years in the future Technology has changed, relationships....... not so much
Flatliners 2017 reboot
Cross the line and death will follow you back!
This is a reboot to the 1990's movie that pegs the question "What happens after we die?" Kiefer Sutherland makes a cameo appearance as one of the hospital staff ( In the 90's version he played one of the curious students). And Diego Luna replaces Kevin Bacon's role as the logical one, I give this a 8 out of 10. Once again proving that you should never fondle with science. And that the job of being a doctor or a nurse isn't play time.

Lego Ninjago Movie
From preview
Guard: We were sent to give you a letter from Lord Garmadon wanna hear it?
All the ninja: YES!
Guard: Ok, You're old, you're fat, you're smelly and you smell like a butt.
LLoyd: Yaaaaaaay! (Sarcastically)
This is the 3rd LEGO movie to come to the silver screen. But this one comes from a popular series from Cartoon Network and a successful toy line from LEGO. This also being the second screen adaptation from Cartoon Network ever since 200's THE POWERPUFF GIRL'S. I give this a 9 out of 10. There were a couple of flaws from the series to the movie like Master Wu's mouth stayed closed and he talked under his beard instead of making it so they could free his mouth so he could talk like the rest of his students, Garmadon had no deadly sake army, it was just a bunch of leo-ized costumed humans.

Annabelle 2
I really don't know how to describe this one, this is supposed to be a prequel and half tell the sorry on the REAL Annabelle doll. But sorry folks the only rating I can possibly come up for this one is a 1below is the factual accounts by the owner, a medium who was sent to the owner's house during the event and Ed and Loraine Warren who now house the doll in a demonology exhibit room in a glass case with the words DO NOT DISTURB taped around the glass.
1. The Beginning
According to the Warrens, the story of the Annabelle doll began in 1970 when a woman purchased an antique Raggedy Ann doll from a hobby store. The doll was a gift for her daughter Donna, who had just graduated from college. Within a few days, the doll began to move. At first, it just made slight changes in position, but the doll eventually began moving to entirely different rooms.Things quickly escalated. Donna would find parchment paper with notes scribbled on it. They would say things like "Help us" in childish writing. When Donna found blood inexplicably dripping out of the doll, she called a medium.
2. The Haunting
Donna had a friend named Lou who faced Annabelle's wrath the most. Lou apparently was not a huge fan of the doll and repeatedly told Donna that it was evil. One night, he said he spotted the doll at the foot of his bed. It floated up from his feet and began to strangle him. He blacked out from the oxygen deprivation and didn't wake up until the next morning.In another instance, Lou believed that someone had broken into the apartment but only found the doll in Donna's room. When he turned his back, he suffered scratches that yielded seven burning claw marks. At this point, Donna decided to seek expert help. She tried to contact a member of the church but was quickly referred to the Warrens.
3. The Warrens' Involvement
After a local priest put them in touch with Donna, Ed and Lorraine conducted an investigation and quickly decided that the doll was not attached to the spirit of a little girl at all. In fact, in the Warrens' expert opinion, a violent demonic entity was using the doll as a conduit. Since demons can't possess inanimate objects, this spirit had hoped to hang around long enough to possess one of the occupants of the apartment. The Warrens decided to exorcise the apartment and take Annabelle home with them.Even on the way home, the Warrens claimed that the entity became hateful and angry. They almost swerved into multiple accidents, their brakes and power steering failed, and their car completely stalled out. After Ed Warren splashed the doll with holy water, things quieted down.
The next few weeks yielded more of the same for the Warrens. Annabelle would appear to levitate or switch rooms. Even after locking her away in their office, she would move to the living room. At one point, they hired a Catholic exorcist who verbally and physically assaulted the doll and got into a serious car accident shortly thereafter. Eventually, the Warrens had a special case made for Annabelle, and she's remained there ever since.
The cool thing is, 2013's The Conjuring pays homage to this story. In the first scene, we meet the women who have been dealing with the terrible wrath of Annabelle. They are being interviewed by Ed and Lorraine Warren (played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga). The couple decides take her home and lock her in her case. Of course, she does some really intense stuff from there, but we'll leave all that to the movies.

DUNKIRK
The Battle of Dunkirk was a military operation that took place in Dunkirk (Dunkerque), France, during the Second World War. The battle was fought between the Allies and Nazi Germany. As part of the Battle of France on the Western Front, the Battle of Dunkirk was the defence and evacuation of British and Allied forces in Europe from 26 May to 4 June 1940.
After the Phoney War, the Battle of France began in earnest on 10 May 1940. To the east, the German Army Group B invaded the Netherlands and advanced westward. In response, the Supreme Allied Commander—French General Maurice Gamelin—initiated "Plan D" and entered Belgium to engage the Germans in the Netherlands. The plan relied heavily on the Maginot Line fortifications along the German–French border, but German forces had already crossed through most of the Netherlands before the French forces arrived. Gamelin instead committed the forces under his command, three mechanised armies, the French First and Seventh Armies and the British Expeditionary Force (BEF), to the River Dyle. On 14 May, German Army Group A burst through the Ardennes and advanced rapidly to the west toward Sedan, then turned northward to the English Channel, in what Generalfeldmarschall Erich von Manstein called the "Sickle Cut" (known as "Plan Yellow" or the Manstein Plan), effectively flanking the Allied forces.[11]
A series of Allied counter-attacks—including the Battle of Arras—failed to sever the German spearhead, which reached the coast on 20 May, separating the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) near Armentières, the French First Army, and the Belgian Army further to the north from the majority of French troops south of the German penetration. After reaching the Channel, the German forces swung north along the coast, threatening to capture the ports and trap the British and French forces before they could evacuate to Britain.
In one of the most widely debated decisions of the war, the Germans halted their advance on Dunkirk. Contrary to popular belief, what became known as the "Halt Order" did not originate with Adolf Hitler. Field Marshals Gerd von Rundstedt and Günther von Kluge suggested that the German forces around the Dunkirk pocket should cease their advance on the port and consolidate, to avoid an Allied breakout. Hitler sanctioned the order on 24 May with the support of the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (OKW). The army was to halt for three days, which gave the Allies sufficient time to organise the Dunkirk evacuation and build a defensive line. Despite the Allies' gloomy estimates of the situation, with Britain even discussing a conditional surrender to Germany, in the end more than 330,000 Allied troops were rescued.[12]
The movie consisted all off 3 conjoining stories all trying to tell you what would you do if this was you. Most probably wouldn't have gotten it, but the story kept you on track. 10 out of 10 a very compelling story.

Alien Covenant AKA Paradise Lost
( not October 8th, I just thought the space background looked kick ass)
This movie takes off where Prometheus left off so you might want to go back and watch the first prequel before you journey into this one. Michael Fassbender is back this time playing dual service androids. And throughout the movie you get a vibe for Ridley Scott's old tagline In space........no one can hear you scream 9 out of 10
King Arthur
This telling of the story of King Arthur hit it all the way home Guy Ritchie struck a home run with this one.

the zookeepers wife
What were Jan and Antonina Zabinski's exact roles at the Warsaw Zoo?Prior to and during WWII, Antonina's husband Jan was the director and organizer of the Warsaw Zoo, one of the largest zoos in Europe at the time. He was a zoologist and zootechnician by trade, in addition to being a scientist and an author of books about biology and animal psychology. During the occupation of Poland he also held the title of superintendent of the city's public parks from 1939-1945. His job with the parks gave him the opportunity to enter the Warsaw Ghetto to inspect the flora there, while at the same time connecting with prewar Jewish friends and colleagues to help them escape.
The Zookeeper's Wife true story reveals that Antonina Zabinski was a teacher and respected author who published children's books about animals. She also had an affinity for the piano and painting. She assisted with the day-to-day operations at the zoo, including caring for the animals. During the occupation, she and their young son Ryszard fed and cared for the fleeing Jews who they had given shelter to at the zoo. Author Diane Ackerman drew in part from Antonina's diary for her book on which the movie is based.
Was Antonina and Jan's home filled with animals?Yes. A rotating variety of animals could often be found in the Zabinski home, including a wolf cub, a chimpanzee, a lion kitten, a kissing rabbit named Wicek, and a muskrat. Of course, they also had more conventional animals too, including their cat Balbina.
Was the damage to the Warsaw Zoo as bad as what's seen in the movie?
Yes. In researching The Zookeeper's Wife true story, we learned that the Nazis' September 1939 invasion of Poland and bombing of Warsaw
left much of the zoo destroyed. In her book, Diane Ackerman describes
the damage to the zoo in grave detail, stating, "The sky broke open and
whistling fire hurtled down, cages exploded, moats rained upward, iron
bars squealed. . . . Wounded zebras ran, ribboned with blood, terrified
howler monkeys and orangutans dashed caterwauling into the trees and
bushes, snakes slithered loose, and crocodiles pushed onto their toes
and trotted at speed." She goes on to describe the shocking sight of two
giraffes laying dead on the ground with their legs twisted, and the
sound of birds and monkeys screeching in a chorus of madness. Surviving
animals fled from burning cages and some were burned to death. One
reason that the zoo was targeted was due to a Polish anti-aircraft
battery being located nearby.
Was Jan Zabinski really a member of the Polish resistance?Yes,
Jan was a member of the resistance from the beginning. He acted as a
biology teacher at an underground university. He used the zoo as a
weapons depot and smuggled food into the Warsaw Ghetto and people out.
After the war, Antonina learned that her husband Jan, a lieutenant in
the resistance, was more deeply involved than she had realized, finding
out that he was also sabotaging trains, building bombs, and poisoning
the pork that was being sent to the German soldiers. For another
engaging look at resistance fighters in WWII, check out our research
into the movie Anthropoid.
Why did the Zabinskis risk their lives to help others?Jan
was a natural risk-taker who was raised around Jews and knew many. He
was courageous and able to keep his cool. Regarding his motives, he
wrote, "I do not belong to any party, and no party program was my guide
during the occupation... My deeds were and are a consequence of a
certain psychological composition, a result of a progressive-humanistic
upbringing, which I received at home as well as in Kreczmar High School.
Many times I wished to analyze the causes for dislike for Jews and I
could not find any, besides artificially formed ones."
