Baba Yaga Is Back He’s Not Serving Anymore

John Wick: Chapter 4

IT’S JOHN WICK VS THE WORLD
THE MASTER OF GUN FU IS BACK ON 3/24
The latest chapter of the JOHN WICK saga is almost here, and this time around Keanu Reeves will be fighting his way to freedom through armies of assassins, a duel to the death, and Donnie freakin’ Yen. Tickets are on sale now, and if you want to see all the balletic carnage with projection and sound executed with the same level of precision as John Wick taking out a room full of thugs, you’re going to want to see it with us.

Since donning the bullet-proof suit back in 2014, Keanu Reeves has cemented John Wick as one of the most dynamic, entertaining, and kickass action heroes of all time. Fueled both by Reeves’ steely performance as the titular assassin and stuntman turned director Chad Stahelski’s bombastic, visceral direction, JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 4 is the longest, bloodiest edition yet.

Renfield


In this modern monster tale of Dracula’s loyal servant, Nicholas Hoult stars as Renfield, the tortured aide to history’s most narcissistic boss, Dracula (Nicolas Cage). Renfield is forced to procure his master’s prey and do his every bidding, no matter how debased. But now, after centuries of servitude, Renfield is ready to see if there’s a life outside the shadow of The Prince of Darkness. If only he can figure out how to end his codependency



2023. R  1:33   Nicholas Cage   Nicolas holt

After an attack by slayers drac and ren go to New Orleans to recoup.   Oh the guy from ghosts is the group moderator.

How dare they!!  Superimposed cage over Lagosi and other parts of Dracula.    Renfield decided to collect the groups’ monsters.

Cages dracula,   Hands by nosferatu,  teeth by Varney the vampire (?) might be something else but that was the first name that came to mind.

 

Mulates I think was prides bar in NCIS; New Orleans. 

bad casting in the role of the lobo son,  Not the right actor to believe he’s part of some drug ring. Comes off more as a high school wannabe. 

  Eww cage looks like a bloated zombie after that bar scene. Loved what the girl in group said 

“Neverending hall of fun house mirrors Only i’m the clown” 

 Mob guys go in dracs the mother lobo i’d swear thinks she’s Smurf from Animal Kingdom.

People Never have a welcome mat that says “Welcome and come in” …. I want Renfield’s curtains and sheet set . They would have matched my room when i was a kid but would be a nice accent to the purple now.

So this is a little twist,  instead of a metaphor for drugs or sex… its used for abuse (mostly verbal)

 

Ugh who was the costumer….Those rings they got on him are awful, i’ve git better looking costume jewelry and its silver color.   Also his acting around the teeth, I hate when people talk around their vamp teeth.  He’s talking but also comes off like he’s trying to hold them in. It doesn’t seem like he can open his mouth, like those people who talk through their teeth while smiling.

Damn Whole police dept (or city)  is crooked.   the Fight at hotel, another ‘highlight. Damn now I need a steak. Good thing there’s hamburger meat at home. 

   Is a mob and cartel same? Cause Dracula got a brand new slave.  Way too many rings, and  Damn talk about too long in the tooth What do you do with all the “how to kill drac lore”? One thing…  put in cement cubes. 

You don’t go to see this cause its a serious vampire movie. Its pre-summer blockbuster silliness. Campy, cheese, sort of spoofy without the actual spoof.

Forget if sequel or prequel 

Lena  poses as a couples missing daughter  Esther

A new art therapist shows for the job   just as she's getting the orientation, Lena the most dangerous patient there is not accounted for, and place  goes into lockdown. 

Lena has gland problem that keeps her looking around 10 but i think he said she's in 30s 

Her family learns she paints now (even though not really their daughter but the dad is happy she does) 
The mom Takes her to mental appointment where  esther reads the notes and listens in to the meeting with the mother.. 

Aww the cute rat in the air vent. 

Surprise secrets out

The way the story is done I'm not really sure if this is a prequel or a sequel.  The title would say prequel however I don't really recall anything that notes its the first family that fostered or adopted her. the opeing shows her in the orphanage (or asylum I forget which) 

I can remember this one better than the original so far, so not sure how I want to grade this.

Classic Cuts- Tales from the hood 1 and 2


 

The original starred Clarence William III, Corbin Bernsen, David Alan Grier (of in Living Color fame for back then anyway)

In this a funeral director tells four tales of horror with an African American focus to three drug dealers he traps in his place of business. The first

My favorite story from the original, was the one with the dolls

Not sure if the original’s soundtrack is still available but here’s the song list

See the source image

I was surprised when I came across Tales from the hood 2 on Netflix . The main story of this one is Robo Hell which is a twist like the original was. In Good Golly a couple of besties Audrey and Zoe take a trip to the Museum of Negrosity housing an assortment of propaganda. Audrey is there to purchase a gollywog doll for her collection, the doll is named Golligee . Which I think was the most memorable. The Medium a fake so-called psychic medium preys on the grief stricken and those that didn’t have closure. He is forced to do a séance which can go one of 2 ways. It will reveal how much of a fake he is, or he will summon those beyond the veil. Date Night is basically the falls of using Tinder and other dating apps and their predators. makes me glad I didn’t sign up, though now wonder if I should. Lol The Sacrifice was another that was very memorable. Unlike when you get a reboot or remake and so on, I was surprised I liked this one. It felt like it had all the elements that made the original what it was. So if you liked the ’95 movie you likely (I think) will enjoy this one. Back to Robo Hell this ended up my favorite of this sequel. Robo patriot which is basically an upgraded Robo cop, with a shot of Captain America. A mascagonist, racist asshole politician calls it R.I. ‘Real Intelligence as it learns 1st and 2nd hand. It goes from Captain Robot to looking like another Marvel character or property. When it senses a threat to America !!! I had to pause it just to write some of this up and(it was almost over but I just got excited) and found it a little funny (the very end of it) reminded me of someone else. What did you think? Tale from the Hood 2 Wiki In the first story we get a bit of Nostalgia, a special ‘guest star’ from the original movie B overall and an A for the Robo Patriot

I think this was form the original movie

Tales from the Hood 3

this came on Syfy, i didn’t even know there was a 3rd movie. 

Tony Todd IS in this one though and No wonder… its from 2020

 

To get away from the bad things TT and a little girl (grand kid?) duck into some old building where she tells him some stories. 

The 1st story 

as always some     is trying to clear house, but one family with a sick boy remains In the building which is supposed to be turned into a medical building of some sort that the area so very much needs.  The suit that visited them earlier hires someone to get them out and he’s haunted.

 

2nd 

Some hillbilly racist living in a bunker to protect his water . NOt sure what happened but I think its all in his head. A new type of zoo! with an American Racist Exhibit … I like this twist!

Story 3

a backup singer gets fired and is hired to be a paid to pick up blood. The old woman gives the singer a music box which she has a nightmare about which the story was predictable 

4 Tale of the thief and I’m pretty sure that was some voodoo curse laid on him through the news. Walk a mile in his victims shoes and feel the pain of the families.

Chaperones  Angels and demons so  I  guess he’s trapped between life and death.

 

I’m definitely not impressed with this one and can see why no one seems to like it. It doesn’t have the tone style and such the previous 2 had.  No shocks and thrills plenty of cliché and no heart and no gory joy. Poor Candyman Tony Todd… WHY did you take this … He should have played the mortician!

R 1:50 Sebastian Stan. Christopher Plummer, William hurt, ed Harris, Samuel l Jackson,

Fact based drama charts the story of a Vietnam war medic William Pitsenbarger

  who proves his valor by refusing to abandon 60 soldiers trapped in an ambush. Decades later a Pentagon staffer works to have him awarded the medal of honor.

Not my usual fare to watch, but Sebastian stan and some living legends are in it.

Most of the movie if Scott (played by Stan) isn’t at home or the office, he travels to interview the men William saved.
