Sean’s movie thoughts

 I re-watched Xanadu and it is a fun movie but kind of odd. Olivia Newton John, Michel Beck, and Gene Kelly star in this musical. It was Kelly’s last appearance. Beck did not sing.  That might have been just as well. It might be time to re-watch Grease.  Okay, I know that one of the songs has a line or two in poor taste and  a few of the actors playing high school students don’t look like high school students. I think that song was changed slightly for Grease Live.  Gladiator Underground is fun. I think it is worth re-watching. Two brothers are in an illegal tournament  and they have a strained relationship. Fights are good.   Five recent movies I liked alot Affinity Diablo Prisoner of War Fantastic Four: First Steps Under Fire  

Affinity stars Marko Zaror. He plays a man named Bruno. One day Bruno meets a mysterious woman named Athena. Some goons take her.  Bruno uses his special skills to find her and he has two friends helping him. Bruno might been in a special forces unit. Zaror is good in this. He plays a more likeable character than he did in Diablo. After seeing this I am more interested in his upcoming project based on a real life person. Louis Mandylor has a supporting role. It is always nice to see him. Brooke Ence, an actress I am not familiar with, plays Finch, another of Bruno's friends. It is a short movie, which I like. The action scenes are good. I am not sure who played the special henchman but he looked familiar. This is worth seeing again.

Rainn Wilson stars as a burned out EMT in this comedy, Code 3.  I liked it.  I am not a fan of the Office, the British or American version, so I might not have seen Wilson in a lot of movies or TV shows.  Maybe I was just in the mood for a comedy but  it might be worth re-watching. Avatar Three is coming out this year.  I think I saw the original Avatar and did not care for it.  Maybe I should give it another try and if I like it, maybe I could watch the first sequel.  I think I will re-watch my DVD of the Night Strangler this month.  It has been a while since I saw it.  I remember liking it.  Also I probably should re-watch I Ain't Scared of You, a Tribute to Bernie Mac this month.  The title fits in with the season, thematically at least.  Also I should probably watch his baseball themed comedy Mr. 3000 again. Maybe I will give it another chance. I tried another comedy and lost interest. After 40 something minutes I did not c...
