Robot Boxing for the Future

Battling Robot Boxers

It was the post-boxing era where human boxing no longer found any appeal as a sports.

There was more excitement in robot-boxing and " Real Steel" action starts at the fair-grounds where the protagonist Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman) loses his robot to a bull and henceforth his life spiraled downwards losing custody of his son, Max to his sister.

Charlie and the Final Fifth Round

For Charlie, life after professional boxing has been mundane though he still lives in a gymnasium with his live-in lover, Bailey Tallet (Evangeline Lily) and collected plenty of IOUs to make life worth the living.

Bailey

However, this all changed when his son come back into his life for a short period and the advent of a diminutive sparring  robot which they found at a scrap-yard  called Atom.

Max and Atom

The fights between Atom and his advance into the big leagues is really worth the money especially with the ring action particularly against the Twin Tower robot and Zeus.

Good movie.

Thelma and Louise-A Buddy-Buddy Movie

Superb Road action

Ridley Scott's movies are really a brand unto themselves.

They are riveting and continues to pack in the suspense and action even for earlier movies (1991) such as Thelma and Louise.

Buddies

This buddy-buddy movie of a waitress and a bored housewife out on a camping outing turned nasty when they encountered mayhem in the guise of an attempted rape, a provocative shooting, armed robbery as well as assault with a deadly weapon.

Novice shooters

Their adventures captured on film of the beauty of the American landscape is superb particularly the Grand Canyon.

In this movie, you see a strong performance by Susan Sarandon who vied for the Best Actress that year (1991) only  to lose it to Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs.

As for Geena Davis, she is in her best form here showing off her best prime,perky and youthful self.

The Penultimate Option

As for the film, there could be no better ending.

Farewell Jiah

Distant Sexiness

She wanted to style herself after Angelina Jole's Gia. 

So the name change to Jiah Khan

Come hither

.

Wickedly Pretty

Born in New York and brought up in Chelsea in the UK, she returned home to make a mark in Bollywood.

She took India by storm!

Then, why this sadness?

Was it something in her soul or in her heart that cannot be appeased?

Niah took her life by hanging herself in an uptown Bollywood residence two days ago.

Why are we losing talent at such a young age?

Only God knows...........

Cloning Hitlers

Bitingly exciting!

"The Boys from Brazil" is  a tale of Joseph Mengele and his cloning of Adolf Hitlers in Paraguay.

Imagine cloning a Hitler for every era!

The Clones

The antagonist Dr. Joseph Mengele was the meet Ezra Lieberman the Nazi hunter, for an exciting finish  but sad to say, he was finished instead by killer Dobermans.

As  for the 93 adorable  Hitler clones, as the story goes, they live among us!

Rendition of Mengele by Peck

Classic acting by Gregory Peck as Mengele and Laurence Olivier as Lieberman.

Exciting movie!

Epic- Symbiotic Relationship with Nature

Engaging Film

A favourite premise these days is the symbiosis between man and nature.

In Epic, it ties even the hidden fictional Leaf People to the destiny and future of mankind. 

As the story goes, the Leaf people were attacked by the bat-like creatures led by their nemesis, Mandrake, bent of killing off the Leaf people. Actually, Mandrake's flying armies look very much like those morbid   zombie-warriors of Lord of the Rings. 

After fatally wounding the Queen of the Leaf People, Mandrake suddenly faced  a hostile defense force led by a young girl called Mary Katherine who was visiting her absent-minded scientist father.

As with most animated feature, we have the side-shows in the form of two lovable slugs.

It features the voice of Beyonce, Colin Farell and Amanda Seyfried.

Fair outing and the special effects and colours are vividly beautiful.

The Ethics of Life

What a summation!

Truism

Wise Words and Fear Not!

Yes, there is nothing to fear except fear itself!

This is another good way to look at fear.
