The Last Movie You Watched
Watched Death Race (2008). It's not the first time I watched it but recently I downloaded it again so rewatched it a few days ago. I won't say it's gonna be a classic but I think it's a move which you would like to keep saved for a special location. I added it to my best movie collection. Jason Statham stars as the main cast and I'm really impressed with the movie. I would give it 9/10.

So I did a Google search and found there is a whole franchise. There are 3 more movies in this series but I don't think these are sequels. Also, I found out the original movie was released in 1970 which was called Death Race 2000. Also, there is a movie about the same plot but without cars. It's called The Running Man (1987). Arnold Schwarzenegger stared in this movie. I think I have watched this one too but I don't remember anything.

I recently re-watched George Carlin's "You're All Diseased" wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Are_All_Diseased

My favorite part of this program is the 6 minutes Carlin devotes to talking about germs and the immune system. It's a stand up routine about a common sense approach to health that the media seems to want to demonize. Some people say that Carlin didn't tell jokes: he told truth in a way that revealed how absurd the world is. You can probably find a clip quickly and easily by searching on youtube for "George Carlin germs"

Indeed he was a great satirist!.. I particularly like this clip of him though. Not too much to say after hearing that:

A few weeks ago I found this animation movie called The Big Bad Fox And Other Tales (2017). I guess I missed it till now because it's a French/Belgian production rather than Hollywood. So yesterday I watched the movie with my little nephew. I think I enjoyed the movie lot more than he did. It's a very simple cartoon movie nothing big or crazy CGI stuff. But you can't resist starting liking it as the plot deepened. It's a movie with a 3 million USD budget and earned 9 million. Probably would have earned a lot more if it had been a Hollywood movie with a big marketing campaign. I would give it 8/10.

I have recently watched on Netflix a film called "Outside the Wire" and it is very bad, I mean I think the film wants to give the idea that the war, violence and the usage of machine-robot-AI-or-HowYouWantToCall is bad... but the film is just so bad that doesn't feel anything.

Watching this film is like wasting 2 hours of your life, believe me.

Here the plot from wikipedia:
Quote:In 2036, a civil war between pro-Russian insurgents and local resistances in Ukraine leads the US to deploy peacekeeping forces. During an operation, a team of United States Marines and "Gumps" (robotic soldiers) are ambushed. Disobeying an order, drone pilot 1st Lt. Harp deploys a Hellfire missile in a drone strike against a suspected enemy launcher, killing 2 Marines but saving 38. As punishment, Harp is sent to Camp Nathaniel, the US base of operations in Ukraine where he is assigned to Captain Leo, a highly advanced and experimental android super-soldier masquerading as a human officer.

Harp and Leo set out on a mission to prevent terrorist Victor Koval from gaining control of a network of Cold War-era nuclear missile silos, under the cover of delivering vaccines to a refugee camp. On the way, they respond to a reported attack on a friendly aid truck, resulting in a stand-off between the Marines and armed locals. After a Gump shoots a local who threw a rock at the Gump, Captain Leo negotiates a peaceful solution by giving the locals the contents of the aid truck. However, pro-Russian insurgents ambush the locals and Marines, leading to a firefight. This forces Leo and Harp to travel to the refugee camp on foot, while the Marines remain behind to engage the insurgents.

After arriving at the refugee compound, Leo and Harp are shot at by an insurgent, who kills some civilians. Leo tortures the insurgent for information, before leaving him to be killed by the gathered mob. Leo and Harp meet their contact Sofiya, a resistance leader. Sofiya leads them to an arms dealer who knows the location of a bank vault containing nuclear launch codes that Koval is looking for. Harp and Leo travel to the bank, and are met by Koval's forces which include Gumps. While Harp helps rescue civilians caught in a crossfire between US and Russian Gumps, Leo retrieves the codes but cannot find Koval. A drone strike called in by Eckhart destroys the bank and several buildings, leading the military command to believe both Koval dead and Leo destroyed.

Harp reunites with Leo who tells him that he has his own plans for the codes, and has been manipulating Harp into helping him evade the eye of military command. He knocks out Harp and leaves him on the side of the road where he is picked up by Sofiya's men. Leo meets with Koval to give him the codes, but kills him when Koval refuses to give Leo access to a nuclear missile silo. Harp informs Sofiya and his commander of Leo's actions, and they realize Leo is planning to launch the nuclear missiles at the United States, in order to prevent them from fighting more wars in the future. Harp volunteers to infiltrate the silo and finds Leo has taken over. He disables Leo but not before Leo initiates the launch of a missile, explaining that his goal was for the android super-soldier program to end in failure. Harp escapes as the silo is destroyed by a drone strike before the missile can launch; destroying Leo. Harp returns to Camp Nathaniel and receives praise from his commander, who informs him he is going home. Harp then leaves the base.

Watched the movie "I Proud to be an Indian". This is a 2004 bollywood movie, starring Sohail Khan.

The plot of the movie revolves around racial discrimination. Well, a group of whites, called "the skinheads" went about murdering the non-white people in London, believing that they were the purest race and no other race gets close to them. The protagonist "I" arrives in London, to attend a marriage, and eventually gets triggered by the ongoing activities. He fights the skinheads despite of all odds, and ultimately gains equality for people of all color.

A thing to note about the movie, is that the lucidity of the flow of sequences, goes haywire towards the end, so not that great an ending. I would rate it a 7.5/10, it's a good movie suited for a watch with your family.

Sayan Bhattacharyya,

Heartiest thanks to Post4VPS and Virmach for my wonderful VPS 9!
I am currently watching the series "Snowpiercer" on Netflix... this series is inspirated by the same comic of a film called with the name title. So I wanted to watch the film to see the differences, the series is set on the same universe but with different plot. There are rumors that the series acts as a prequel of the movie.

The movie is called "Snowpiercer" and it was released on the 2013. Plot from Wikipedia:
Quote:After an attempt to stop global warming via climate engineering catastrophically backfires, creating a new ice age in 2014, the remnants of humanity have taken to a circumnavigational train, the Snowpiercer, run by reclusive transportation magnate Wilford. The passengers on the train are segregated, with the elite in the extravagant front cars and the poor in squalid tail compartments controlled by armed guards.

Urged by his father-figure Gilliam, Curtis and his second-in-command Edgar lead the tail passengers in a revolt after they realize the guards' weapons have no ammunition. They free Namgoong, a captive security specialist, who insists that his clairvoyant daughter Yona is freed as well. Namgoong helps the tail army progress forward, but they soon end up in a standoff with guards with axes, overseen by Minister Mason. In the ensuing fight, Curtis has to choose between saving Edgar or capturing Mason. Curtis makes a difficult call to capture Mason in order to use her as a bargaining chip to end the battle, and Edgar is fatally stabbed. The tail army stays back, holding the guards captive, while Curtis takes Mason, Namgoong, Yona, skilled fighter Grey, and Tanya and Andrew (two parents who have had their children taken from them) toward the front of the train. They are unaware that Franco, loyal to Mason, escapes the tail army to rally more guards.

Curtis's group travels through the first of several opulent cars. Namgoong and Yona recognize a landmark outside and consider that the ice may be thawing. They eventually reach a schoolroom, where a teacher is indoctrinating the children on Wilford's greatness, just before they open eggs to celebrate the eighteenth "New Year", each of which has marked one circumnavigation of the Earth. The teacher uses this as a distraction to attack and kill Andrew before Grey kills her. In the tail section, Franco uses the distraction to kill the tail army and capture Gilliam. Franco sends a live feed to the television in the classroom as he executes Gilliam; Curtis, in return, kills Mason. Curtis's group moves on, but Franco soon catches up to them. Tanya and Grey are killed after fighting Franco, who is then seemingly killed by Curtis and Namgoong. The two along with Yona continue onward.

They reach the last car before the engine. Namgoong reveals he and Yona had been collecting Kronole, an addictive drug but also a potent explosive, which he wants to use to blow the door to the outside, believing they can survive. Curtis stops them, as he wants to meet Wilford; Curtis explains that in the early days of the train, 17 years before, the tail section had resorted to cannibalism, and he had been nearly ready to eat the infant Edgar but Gilliam offered him his arm instead. Curtis wants to face Wilford to ask why he created this closed ecosystem. Just then, the engine door opens, and Wilford's assistant Claude emerges and wounds Namgoong before inviting Curtis inside.

Curtis meets Wilford, and to his shock learns he and Gilliam conspired to stage Curtis's rebellion to reduce the train's population to sustainable levels. Wilford orders 74% of the tail passengers killed. He then offers Curtis his position leading the train. Curtis appears ready to accept when Yona overpowers Claude, rushes in, and pulls open a floorboard to reveal children from the tail section, including Andrew and Tanya's children Andy and Timmy, working the engine as slaves. Appalled, Curtis knocks out Wilford and rescues Timmy from the machinery, though he loses his arm in the process. Curtis gives Yona matches to light the fuse for the Kronole, while Namgoong fights and kills Franco, who had followed them. As the door to the engine room will not close, Curtis and Namgoong use their bodies to protect Yona and Timmy from the blast.

The explosion causes an avalanche that derails the train. Shortly after, Yona and Timmy escape the wreckage. They see a polar bear in the distance, indicating that life exists outside the train.

Since I posted here the last time I watched a lot of movies... too many to remember and list them here. Especially when some of them are movies that you only watch once and never again.

- Coriolanus (2011) [IMDb - 6.1/10 Rating]
- Karbala (2015) [IMDb - 6.2/10 Rating]


3 out of over 200 movies less to watch. About average all of them. 1922 I have watched in 4K and the others in 1080p.

Additionally last Saturday I have watched a very interesting and crazy movie about the last days of WW II from the German side and a captain who was no real caption but abused his fake position to judge and massacre people.

The Captain (2017) [IMDb - 7.4/10 Rating]

I just watched the New York Time's expose on Britney Spears, "Framing Britney Spears." I grew up with Britney and she was one of my favorite artists as a kid and is still one of my favorites. I knew a lot about the Free Britney movement, but this really deep dives into the entire timeline of her Conservatorship and how horrible and toxic it really is. You can find it on YouTube and Hulu, so I recommend it highly.
