Wikipedia says he's already working on something called "Warfare".

As a writer?
He's saying he wants to concentrate solely on writing for an indeterminate time period.

Wikipedia says writing and co-directing. I have no knowledge apart from that.

Probably makes sense as that is how he started in the industry as a writer.

It would be easy and somewhat unfair to simply call Monkey Man the Indian John Wick. It does aim for, and achieve, more character and story depth than the Wick films. It's obviously having a go at Modi, Indian nationalism and the exploitation of religion for power. There is a creative visual sequence where Dev Patel reveals his soul as it were.

The last 20 minutes of all action are pure Indian John Wick though, right down to Dev Patel's clothes, hair and rage-fuelled brutal fighting style.

When it's natural, maybe it's not really acting.

Watched Stage Fright last night. It's the famous Hitchcock film that lies in the flashback. That's against the rules. But the film does star Marlene Dietrich and Alaister Sim.

Tonight, I decided to watch Baby Driver again. Edgar Wright makes fun movies.

Darn, am trying to find a Korean kung fu movie that is incredible well shot and non-stop action a la John Wick, but can't come cross it for the life of me!!! I thought it was The Man from Nowhere, but nope. Anyone can recall what it is called?

Not enough info. There's a bunch of them.

Train to Busan is nonstop action, but it is zombies rather than Kung Fu.

Villainess has a Female protagonist.

Is it the one where the hit man is sent to kill the bosses mistress?

Raid was my first thought, but it's Indonesian.

Like I already said, it's not acting if it's real...

Linoleum Sooooo, my wife and I are scrolling through Hulu looking for a movie and we see a picture of Jim Gaffigan.

The description said something about a host of a children's science show tries to build a rocket ship. I really didn't read much because I don't like knowing too much about a movie before I watch it. I did see it also had Tony Shaloub who is always entertaining. It sounded silly and we love Gaffigan so we figured we would give it a shot.

Well, it wasn't what I imagined it to be. Not even close.

I don't want to give too much away, but it is definitely not a silly comedy.

We enjoyed it but it might not be for everyone.

Nope, but as elite as Old Boy

Tbh, after my googling for almost an hour has resulted in zilch, I am starting to doubt the movie even exists!!! Except I clearly remember certain fighting scenes and the camera in the film was so elite, that it had easily entered my top 50 list, even after a single viewing...
