Nearly 500 movies since March
Tldr: my wife saw almost 500 new movies this year. Hello movies, it’s been a crazy year hasn’t it... Theaters are closed, production has (for the most part) ground to a halt and what was scheduled for release has moved to a streaming service or was delayed to next year or both. With the initial quarantine back in March starting I decided to take this unprecedented opportunity to give my wife the catch-up she desperately needed since she didn’t watch very many movies growing up. A little backstory, she grew up in a home where many movies were forbidden for religious reasons and as a result just never became a cinephile. She saw many Disney movies and a few random others but missed a vast majority of cinemas best (and worst). On the flip side I grew up near a regular theater and a dollar theater and saw a ton of films as a kid and teen, I’d regularly go on weekends or skip school for a triple feature or catch the last showing of something every night of the week. We’ve been together for almost 11 years now and she would go see anything and everything with me. All the Marvel movies, action comedies, sci fi, animation, whatever... but her movie knowledge is fairly contained within the last decade. So when I got laid off and she began working from home we decided to see how many new movies we could see during this Covid mess. We defined “New” as anything we had both never seen or anything she had never seen and I hadn’t seen in 10+ years since we met. Since mid March we have managed to watch 500 movies and in the process learn a few things about her individual tastes and the kinds of movies we enjoy watching as a couple the most. I’m going to drop a list of everything we saw, after the list I’ll highlight a few hidden gems we both loved...

Some Like It Hot became an instant favorite for her... She also loved seeing things like Freaks or the Hitchcock films that get referenced a lot. She’s like Captain America pointing out all the references she gets now. We also found out she loves James Bond (mostly older ones), she doesn’t hate Will Farrell as much as she thought (or at all really), she loves bad/old/obscure movies, scary movies aren’t as scary as she thought they’d be, and that she’s basically Jennifer Anniston’s character from Office Space with her crazy love for old Kung Fu. As far as random recommendations my wife wanted to shout out all the Falcon films, Our Man Flint and In Like Flint, and Tammy & The T-Rex. I wanted to shout out The Forbidden Kingdom, Dr Goldfoot and The Bikini Girls & Dr Goldfoot and The Girl Bombs, and Old Dracula. If anybody wants to just talk movies I always welcome I can’t wait to expand her movie history in this coming year, there’s always plenty of bad obscure movies but now that she is into it it’s time to bring out the heavy hitters. Godfather, Jaws, Alien, Citizen Cane, Clockwork Orange, 2001 A Space Odyssey and more are still in the pipeline... If you’re still with me here I want to sincerely thank you for reading about our journey this year. I love you movies, and I hope y’all have a wonderfully cinematic 2021.

This is the case of Scratchmania, where you can find a great variety of scratches of different formats and themes. For example, scratch cards related to animals are very popular. However, one of the disadvantages for Spanish players is that the offer of scratch cards available in secure casinos (those licensed by the DGOJ) is quite limited. Scratch Cards Online - Types and How to Play Scratch cards are a very simple game, although depending on the software provider that developed them there may be some variations between them. In this article in the form of a guide we wanted to classify them by type to later explain in a practical way and with examples how to play the different types of slot machines that we can find. Depending on their design, we can classify online scratch cards into two main types :
Depending on how to get the prizes, we can classify the scratch cards into two other large groups :
Scratch cards with prizes associated with rows
Scratch cards with prizes associated with symbols
We will build on this classification to explain with real examples how to play the different types of scratch cards online. 1. Scratch cards similar to the traditional ones Scratch Cards Guide - Crazy Fruits These types of games are the ones that most resemble traditional scratch cards , that is, cardboard. A good example to explain them is the game Crazy Fruits, developed by the provider Gamesys. As in the traditional game, you will have to go to a store to buy your cards. In this case it will not be a physical store (don't worry), but you will only have to go to the 'scratch card store' of the online casino . In this store you will find the different cards available and their prices. You can purchase the same number of cards as you need! Its operation is very simple. You will only have to get 3 icons of the same type to win. 2. Scratch Cards similar to slot machines Scratch Cards Guide - Star Raiders Not all scracht cards are that simple. The proof of this is the scratch cards of this second group. These differ from the rest by their similarity to online slots . They have a much more elaborate design and graphics and can sometimes also include videos and animations. In addition, some of them also have wild symbols and scatter symbols , which will allow you to increase your winnings. The example we have chosen to represent this second type is the Star Raiders card, developed by the provider Pariplay. However, many software companies have similar creations. Among the best known we can highlight Microgaming, Playtech or NextGen. The operation of this game is very similar to the previous one. However, this time you will not have to go to a store to buy your card and the price of this card will not be fixed either. In this case, you can choose the amount of money you want to play each time and the prizes will vary depending on the bet made. Of course, as in the previous example, to win you will need to obtain 3 icons of the same type anywhere on the card. 3. Scratch Cards with prizes associated with the number of symbols The two examples that we have seen above belong to the group of scratch cards where the prizes are associated with a number of symbols of the same type, without these having to occupy a certain position. To win, you only need X symbols of the same type to appear on the screen, no matter where . Another good example of this type of card is The Godfather game, developed by the provider GextGen. In The Godfather scratch card you will have to choose how much money you want to play each time and the prizes will vary depending on the amount wagered. As we can see, the position of the symbols does not influence the prize at all , since in this type of cards only the number matters. 4. Scratch Cards with prizes associated with the ranks In this type of Scratch Cards, each row will be associated with a prize or win . Next we will focus on the Scratch King slot to make a brief explanation of its operation. The Scratch King Game is made up of 4 rows: the first 3 hide 5 different images and the last row is made up of 3 treasure chests. Each of the rows is associated with a prize, which will change with each spin. The award will be visible in each of the boxes to the right of the rows. Wild symbols may appear in this game that will be replaced by other icons to help you complete the winning combination. If you get 4 equal symbols, your prize will be multiplied x3 and if you get 5 equal icons the prize will be multiplied x5. In addition to wilds, you can also enjoy scatter symbols. In this game the scatter symbols are represented by keys. These keys will be used to open the chests located at the bottom of the screen. You will need to get 3 keys in the same roll to open the treasure chests and win the prize associated with this last row. 5. Scratch Cards with progressive jackpots or jackpots Finally, we couldn't finish this article without first mentioning jackpot scratch cards . As in slots, there are some scratch cards that are associated with a large jackpot or progressive jackpot , it grows as users play and only stops when a player wins the prize. Then you start over from scratch. These types of scratch cards have an added thrill, because you never know who will be the lucky one to take home the grand prize.

At least 77 million millionaires thanks to cannabis
Recreational cannabis is not legal yet, but many Canadians are taking advantage of it to make a fortune. At least 77 of them have accumulated millions of dollars in just a few months thanks to their investments in the industry, according to data compiled by our Investigation Bureau. "I knew the pot was a good investment, but no one in the community thought it would pay so much," says Chuck Rifici, head of the Cannabis Wheaton investment fund and former chief financial officer of the Liberal Party of Canada. (PLC). At 43, the one who is described as the "pot godfather" in Canada sits on a personal fortune that he himself estimates to "more than 100 million", including $ 47.7 million in potato producer shares , according to public financial documents. He owns a Ferrari 458 red and a Tesla S. It all started with a first investment of $ 70 in shares in his company Tweed, a pot producer (now Canopy Growth). "I thought I was rich when I made my first $ 500,000," jokes the Ottawa businessman. Mr. Rifici said today that he continues to work only "for pleasure". "It's a lot less stressful." Big risks On the other side of the Ottawa River in Gatineau, Sébastien St-Louis, 34, has a fortune of $ 15.4 million. His company founded in 2013, Hydropothecary, is valued at $ 660 million on the stock market. The path to get there was not easy. "I almost went broke at least four times. My credit card was used up to $ 30,000. Stories like that of Rifici and Saint-Louis, who have become millionaires before even a single gram of recreational pot is sold legally, are in the dozens of industries. Establishing the list of Millionaire Canadians in the pot helps to make the following observations: The vast majority, 58% (45 out of 77), are from Ontario. Only 4 come from Quebec (5%). Out of 77 millionaires, there are only three women. Wealth is extremely concentrated Speculative bubble ? The stock market value of pot companies exploded last year as a result of Trudeau government announcements on the upcoming legalization in 2018. New Brunswicker Denis Arsenault bought a medical cannabis producer in 2014 for $ 1.7 million. Its acquisition, the company Organigram, is worth half a billion dollars today. "It was like going to the casino when I invested in it, at first," he laughs. Although Canadians are still divided over the legalization of cannabis and the banks are very reluctant to invest in this industry, investors are now jostling to the gates to the point where there is fear of a speculative bubble. According to several experts, the current frenzy is similar to the tech bubble in the late 1990s, because they are extremely volatile. "There are companies that are not in cannabis, just saying that they are interested in the industry and boom, their shares are tripling," says portfolio management analyst Ken Lester, president of Lester Asset Management.

They roll on gold thanks to their investments in the pot THE GODFATHER OF THE POT PHOTO ANNABELLE BLAIS Chuck Rifici has inherited the nickname "godfather" of the pot industry. And for good reason, this 43-year-old Franco-Ontarian estimates his fortune to more than $ 100 million (including at least $ 47.7 million in shares of pot producers, according to public financial documents). He has two characteristics common to many millionaires in this industry: he is an entrepreneur and he has political connections, particularly with the Liberal Party of Canada (PLC). In 2013, Mr. Rifici co-founded Tweed, now Canopy Growth, Canada's largest pot company. Since 2017, he has been CEO of Cannabis Wheaton, an investment firm in pot companies, including producers or manufacturers of accessories. Wheaton has about fifteen partnerships, a huge spider web. Two ex of the PLC In parallel, the businessman was also CFO of the PLC from 2011 to 2016. "Being treasurer of the PLC, it gives credibility when you meet investors for pot," he says. Wheaton's vice president of external affairs, Sarah Bain, was also vice president of communications for the LPC from 2010 to 2013. Mr. Rifici even believes that the controversy provoked by this situation has helped him to talk about his businesses. "All press is good press," he says. But this has exacerbated tensions between him and his partner Bruce Linton and Rifici left Tweed in 2014 (see other text). He is now investing mainly in accessories such as vape. "I believe the future of this industry will be in these value-added products," he says. It's important to have a distribution and production network, but in a Starbuck coffee, it's not the coffee bean that pays the most, "he says. THE SOCIALIST IN JAGUAR PIERRE-PAUL POULIN PICTURES Wearing a three-piece suit and cell phone in hand, Bruce Linton, CEO of Canopy Growth, is the image of the successful businessman. "Because I sell cannabis, people always expect to see a guy in a faded T-shirt," he jokes. Mr. Linton now heads one of the largest cannabis producers in Canada. He first founded Tweed in 2013 (then joined Canopy Growth) with Chuck Rifici, former CFO of the Liberal Party of Canada. When asked why there are so many Liberals in the industry, he replies, "I do not know why there are a lot of Liberals in the industry. I'm not. You know what I am? I am a socialist who likes to ride in Jaguar. " And he has the means to pay for luxury cars. On paper, Mr. Linton's fortune is valued at more than $ 67 million. Potty drink In five years, Canopy Growth has acquired 13 cannabis production sites in eight Canadian provinces, including two in Quebec. The company has also developed partnerships to export or cultivate with Australia, Brazil, Germany, Jamaica, Denmark and Chile. Bruce Linton does not want to stop there. He has a clear vision for the future: to sell a cannabis drink. Canopy has signed an agreement this fall with Constellation, which sells Corona beers. Linton is already following in the footsteps of Seagram distiller Bronfman family, who made a fortune with alcohol at the end of the prohibition. "I want to provide a bottle-like format with 12-13% that produces effects after 7 minutes," he says. This is the socially accepted way to be impaired. " NOT YET MILLIONAIRES, BUT ALMOST MARTIN ALARIE PHOTO Quebecker Philippe Depault is not yet a millionaire of the pot, but he is about to succeed. The 26-year-old entrepreneur (left) and his partner Alexandre Lalancette, 23 years old (right) have just sold their cannabis accessories business, Maïtri, for $ 550,000 in addition to an amount of up to 1.2 M $ to be paid to the performance. Pretty surprising when we know that Maïtri made his first sale in July 2017 only. Mr. Depault was a cyclist with the Canadian team dreaming of the Olympics until fibromyalgia changed his life in 2013. No medicine was able to relieve him, except cannabis. He then gave himself the mission to fight against the stigmatization of consumers. Soon more Quebeckers? The chemical engineering student started by blogging in the summer of 2016. Then in March 2017, he joined Mr. Lalancette to create neatly designed cannabis accessories with Quebec materials. "Cannabis is still associated with stoners ," he says. But around me, almost everyone uses cannabis, either once a day or once a year. They are engineers, doctors, lawyers. It was to this clientele that he wanted to address himself. An investor has injected from $ 30,000 to $ 100,000, says Mr. Depault. And in July, the company was about to open a round of financing when Hiku, which owns the DOJA pot producer, made an offer to buy. The agreement was concluded in February. Mr. Depault hopes to see more Quebeckers in the industry. "We start to feel the wave. " A QUEBECER WHO SEES BIG PHOTO ANNABELLE BLAIS When Sébastien St-Louis was younger, his idol was not a hockey player, but Alain Bouchard, the founder of Couche-Tard. "It's the biggest company in terms of sales in Canada and it [Mr. Bouchard] started with only one store in Quebec. I recognize myself a lot in this story, "he says. The 34-year-old is describing himself as an entrepreneur who seized the business opportunity of medical cannabis in 2013. His firm, Hydropothecary, based in Gatineau, is the first licensed pot producer in Quebec. Recently, the company won an agreement to supply 22,000 kg to the Quebec Cannabis Company, the SAQ subsidiary that will market the substance. With a market capitalization of $ 660,000 million for Hydropothecary, Sébastien St-Louis is sitting on a fortune of more than $ 15.4 million. But this son of teacher parents has not changed his lifestyle so much, except that he travels more. "I drove in Grand Am for 12 years. I changed to a 2012 Acura, he says. A Ferrari is not my style. " Thanks to the family It must be said that the path of the producer was fraught with difficulties and that the bankruptcy was avoided more than once. At 16, he already had his own 3D simulation company and he was investing in real estate. With a master's degree in finance from the Université du Québec à Montréal, he later worked at the Business Development Bank of Canada. In June 2013, at age 29, his friend Maxime Cyr, who worked for Health Canada, told him that the federal government would allow private producers to sell medical cannabis. Sébastien St-Louis had never seen a pot plant before, but he smelled the potential. He embarked on the project his brother-in-law Adam Miron, a political enthusiast who became involved with the Liberal Party of Canada until 2009. Unable to get finance from the banks, the two men appealed to friends and family for a first round of private funding in 2013. "With $ 10,000, we could put $ 1.5 million," he said. His parents even mortgaged their home to invest $ 100,000. "If it did not work, I went bankrupt and lost my house, but there was no longer a couch of friends I could have slept on because I would have lost money to all those I knew, "he says. Light appeared at the end of the tunnel when Health Canada authorized the company to sell medical pot in 2015. Big names on the board In 2016, he approached large families in Quebec looking for partners. Vincent Chiara, a Montreal businessman close to the Saputo family, has agreed to invest several millions in the adventure. He currently sits on the Board and his fortune in the company is valued at $ 25.5 million. Sébastien St-Louis is also very proud to say that Nathalie Bourque, who serves on Couche-Tard's Board of Directors, has joined Hydropothecary's board since the fall. The convenience store chain has already announced that it wants to sell marijuana. The boss of Hydropothecary believes that in the near future, there will remain only two or three companies that will be multinational cannabis. "I intend to be a leader from our platform in Quebec," he says. MUSIC AND POT FOR THE TRAGICALLY HIP PHOTO COURTESY DAVID BASTEDO Music and cannabis have always been closely linked. Newstrike understands it. For almost a year now, the company that markets Up Cannabis, a pot producer in Ontario, has developed a partnership with The Tragically Hip. The Canadian rock band is a shareholder in the company and is involved in important marketing decisions. Their managers, Bernie Breen and Patrick Sambrook, also sit on the company's advisory board. Up Cannabis can, for example, use the band's songs to promote its products or to name its pot varieties. It is worth $ 20.9 million "We've approached them because they can help us create a brand and they represent Canada," says Jay Wilgar, CEO of Newstrike. The latter made a fortune with a wind energy start-up he founded in the early 2000s and sold it to the French multinational GDF Suez in 2010. In 2013, he launched into cannabis by investing 1.5 million with a partner. Mr. Wilgar is worth about $ 20.9 million today. The Hips' fortune in the business is at least $ 2.2 million "We did not expect such a large and fast growth in the last year, it's amazing," he says. The strategy of Up Cannabis is to address Mr. Mrs. Everybody, like the Hips. The company will focus on the recreational and has no medical patient. MORE PROFITABLE THAN CUCUMBERS PHOTO COURTESY APHRIA For John Cervini, growing cannabis was a natural extension of his vegetable growing career in Ontario. "I am the fourth generation of farmers. For 23 years, I ran the family business with my brother, "he says. The company was growing well, but John preferred to leave because the two brothers had different visions. His friend Cole Cacciavillani, an industrial engineer in agriculture, told him about cannabis in August 2013. The company, Aphria, is one of six producers who signed an agreement to supply Quebec with cannabis through the subsidiary of the SAQ. "As a farmer, we knew we had a good base for marijuana," says Cervini. It is our specialty to grow plants, we have experience in logistics and large-scale supply, "he says.

About the Files: Meet Celebrity Hair Extensions by Guru Priscilla Wallace
https://preview.redd.it/8872hdknenv31.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=d5bfb00c40ff27fa94b4fdc2ef061d13023533c7 Christina Aguilera's expansion of Priscilla Valles opens over a 20-year career and a new salon in Las Vegas. No matter how hot Las Vegas is, celebrity hairstylist Priscilla Wallace will open her eponymous salon at the Palms Spa this week, where you can get a cut or more from a pro. Priscilla Wallace Salon is just one of the many draws of the new Spa. Holiday at God at Palms Casino Resort has over 15 treatment rooms and a fitness center overlooking the hot spot of the day and KAOS nightclub. Opening a store in Las Vegas for Valles in Los Angeles was a simple matter. Some of your longest-serving, most loyal clients - Christina Aguilera, Celine Dion and Britney Spears, to name a few - make regular appearances here. If you come to Sin City and want hair in Vegas, the new Valles Salon, which also offers manicure / pedicure and tanning, will deliver this and more. While Wallace and her selection staff are preparing to serve lists and women on a daily basis, Wallace is giving people about 20 years of experience in the field - and what it takes to get here. "I've been doing this for 20 years. I was ready for that," Priscilla Wallace said as she opened her salon. At what point did you realize you wanted to be a hairdresser? "When I was seven and I had trouble cutting my cousin's hair. with a pair of sewing scissors, my grandmother took a picture and I'm the only one who had no hair cut. "I remember yesterday, she asked me. And in my opinion, I just wanted to do it again, but I guess I I just always knew it, everyone did it, I got my cosmetics license before I graduated. " When did you decide to specialize in improvements? "When I started to do my hair, my obsession became a transformation, and when I started helping [hair extension specialist] Sheila Stots, I saw makeup with extensions, and as soon as she saw it, I said, 'Let's do it.' your first celebrity customer? "Christina Aguilera was definitely one of the first celebrity clients, we were both 22 years old, I would say we are best friends now and I am your baby's godfather." What is your favorite picture of Christine? "I just love when you do long platinum, romantic flowing hair. If you know them, it has such a soft side that many people do not see. If you have such a gentle look, I really feel that it is for you it means a lot. "And for Britney?" She just likes that sexy, beautiful look, so we always say the same thing. It's flip hair. "Do you have a similar process for all your clients?" I always go based on your vibration. But for my actors, such as Britney or Christina, I will do more individual hair extensions because there is a lot of flowing and moving there and you want the hair to flow naturally. But with someone like Kylie [Jenner], I'm going to use tapes because she only captures this photo. "Kylie is such a hair chameleon. Does she keep you alive?" It's an honor to work with her. She is such a fashionista. Sometime she is going to do a BOB, and the next day she wants to add four to five inches. She just knows it will work, but I like it. We made pink, platinum, turquoise, and who can bring Til out, no one, but she looks sexy. " How has social media helped your career? - I remember that Crissy Teigen lost her extender. She took a picture of him on the floor and tagged me. I don't even think she had a comment, she just tagged me. And suddenly ... followers. But many women do not want to show what they have. I have already signed a privacy agreement! But now you are open to it. I thank Chris for that. It helped change the game. "
if gta 6 does take place in the 60's or 70's than i was thinking they could make a gta game set in the state of San Andreas in 1969 that tells the story of a Vietnam war vet who returns home from Vietnam and becomes a member of the angels of death motorcycle gang. the story will document the early days of the infamous angels of death mc. as you progress through the story you will rise up through the ranks of the gang and eventually become president of the san andreas chapter. the game will have a ton of licensed music of the 1960's. the map will be massive spanning from Los santos to Las venturas to San fierro and will also feature small towns sprinkled all over the map along with wilderness such as backwoods, farmland, mountains, and deserts. you can also drive a wide selection of vehicles ranging from motorcycles, cars, trucks, semis, bulldozers, planes, choppers, boats, and more. the game will be all about rising through the ranks of a motorcycle gang, tearing around the countryside on your motorcycle, and raising hell.
Grand theft auto: vice city narcos
from what ive been reading on the internet a lot of people really want to see vice city again. so this is my idea for another vice city game. the game will be set in a fully fictionalized version of south florida in the year 1986. the game will be about starting with nothing and working your way to the top and becoming vice city's biggest drug kingpin kinda like gta vice city's storyline. in this game vice city will be way bigger than it was in gta vice city by having vice city itself and new locations such as the florida keys, everglades, several tropical islands off the coast, and lake Okeechobee. there will also be side missions were you smuggle drugs into vice city. and there will be different factions like the mafia, drug cartel, and local gangs. and because the map will include swamplands and countryside you will also have other factions like the dixie mafia, biker gangs, etc. and like almost every gta game there will be a wide variety of vehicles to drive. this game will be heavily action packed and will include the feature from max payne of jumping around and going in slow motion shooting. and it will have a lucritive and fun drug dealing system kinda like gta chinatown wars. this game will also be heavily inspired by tv shows and movies such as scarface, miami vice, and narcos.
Grand theft auto: carcer city
so this game will have a way more serious tone unlike the other ideas i just mentioned. this game will be set in carcer city and the surrounding countryside in the year 1998. this carcer city is nothing like the one from manhunt and will be based off chicago and detroit. in this game you are rising through the ranks of a mafia family. it will work a lot like the godfather games were you extort businesses, kill off rival mobsters, take over territorys, etc. you will also have the ability to pick up bodies, put them in trunks, drive them places, and dump them. this game will be inspired by shows such as the sorpranos, and the netflix show bad blood.
Grand theft auto: sin city
this game will be set in 1970's las venturas and will be about building your own mafia empire and managing your casinos and building casinos. the game's map will consist of Las venturas itself and mostly desert and the hoover dam. you will also be able to gamble your money away by playing casino mini games. this game will be heavily inspired by the martin scorsese film casino.
Grand theft auto 6
this game will be set in the year 2014 and the map will include all gta universe citys such as los santos, san fierro, las venturas, vice city, liberty city, cottonmouth, and carcer city. and will have a ton of small towns and different terrains of wilderness such as forests, farmlands, deserts, swamps, mountains, and so on. the game will have a wide variety of vehicles, weapons, etc to choose from. in this game you can be any kind of criminal you want you can be a mobster, a gangbanger, a drug lord, and so on. or you could be a vigilante and tear down these different factions by destroying their infostructure and killing the leader of the faction. you will also have the ability to become a police officer. you can join different gangs and organizations and rise through the ranks of them and become the leader of them. you will also have the ability to hide bodies. and you will be able to hogtie npcs with duct tape and transport them to places kinda how in rdr you can hogtie npcs with a lasso and take them places. the in game internet will be bigger and have more things to do on it as well. if you get arrested you can bribe the cops or go to prison. if you go to prison you can serve your sentence which means you will have to do anything to survive in prison. or you can try to breakout of prison. if you commit a serious crime and lose the police they will have huge manhunts for you and keep looking for you for a while. you can even craft your own weapons such as molotovs, homemade explosive devices, etc.
Grand theft auto: san andreas HD remake i would also love to see an hd remake of my favorite gta of all time gta san andreas. it will have a complete hd universe version of san andreas and will have all the radio stations and songs from gta san andreas. it will also have ragdoll effects as well. it will have all the cool vehicles and weapons from gta san andreas. it will have rdr2 quality graphics.
anyway that is my top 6 gta 6 ideas i hope you guys like it. this took me about 3 hours to make. id love to hear your thoughts let me know which one of these ideas you think is the best or if you have another idea you would like to share.
Rio 2 (2014) It's a jungle out there for Blu, Jewel and their three kids after they're hurtled from Rio de Janeiro to the wilds of the Amazon. As Blu tries to fit in, he goes beak-to-beak with the vengeful Nigel, and meets his father-in-law. Not a bad film as far as kids movies go. Unfortunately, this sequel decided to go with the whole family scene which meant introducing a bunch of child/teenage characters which i hated. I hate all young roles in movies, nine times out of ten, they just suck. This actually meant that despite this being a pretty decent sequel, my annoyance at the characters lowered my enjoyment. Also, I couldn't help but think of Blu's wife as a bad guy. Apart from that, the story was fine, if a little in your face preachy. The side story with the return of Nigel was brilliant, if anything the film should have been more about them. The animation was similar to the previous movie, most of the old characters were just as good, and for the most part, the new characters were varied and enjoyable, despite being a little simplistic. In conclusion, i'd advise that you give it a watch if you enjoyed the first film. If you didn't then you won't find anything new here. My Rating: 6/10 Goodfellas (1990) Henry Hill and his friends work their way up through the mob hierarchy. Here we have another Scorsese masterpiece. I always hear amazing things about this film, but only got around to giving it a watch today. I don't think I've ever seen a Scorsese movie that I haven't enjoyed, and this definitely doesn't break that pattern. While i knew from Casino that De Niro and Pesci would be amazing, i wasn't sure how i'd find Liotta. Truth be told i thought he was perfect in the role. The entire cast played their parts amazingly. The story was fantastic, the effects were amazing as always, everything was just right. In conclusion, I would advise that you watch this film right now. It's like the modern day Godfather. My Rating: 8/10 Oculus (2013) A woman tries to exonerate her brother, who was convicted of murder, by proving that the crime was committed by a supernatural phenomenon. This film was pretty good. It started off amazingly. Personally, I think it got a little bit stale when they changed the plot from "This could all be your imagination" to "this is definitely legit supernatural". That brought the movie down a lot, but did allow for a few cool scenes. The film wasn't that scary, there were a couple of cringe inducing scenes and one or two slightly creepy scenes, but for the most part the movie was more of a thriller than a horror, yet enjoyable nonetheless. The cast were pretty decent. Karen Gillan proved that she can act pretty well without being typecast as "that doctor who girl". I never really cared too much for the characters, but it was still an enjoyable watch. My Rating: 8/10 Argo (2012) Acting under the cover of a Hollywood producer scouting a location for a science fiction film, a CIA agent launches a dangerous operation to rescue six Americans in Tehran during the U.S. hostage crisis in Iran in 1980. I had absolutely no intention of watching this film. It didn't really interest me and it looked pretty dull. However, I had it on Blu ray and so figured I should give it a chance. I am so glad that i did because this film was really good. The fact that it's based upon a true story of course makes the whole thing better, despite their being a lot of creative licensing to make the film more exciting for modern audiences. The way everything is put together made me feel like i was watching an episode of Hustle. The actors all did fantastically, it was nice to see Brian Cranston in something other than Breaking Bad. Also, there were a lot of good lesser known actors that i enjoy present as well. In all, the movie was very entertaining. I got a lot more attached to the pot and the characters than I originally thought i would and i'm glad that i gave the film a chance. My Rating: 8/10 Starship Troopers (1997) Humans in a fascistic, militaristic future do battle with giant alien bugs in a fight for survival. This film was surprisingly enjoyable. At first glance it appears to be nothing more than another generic war film, however, when watching it you'll realise that it's actually a satirical look into military propaganda. The movie has a little bit of everything really. There are a lot of laughs, a lot of action, a lot of violence and gory scenes, a few scenes of a sexual nature, a love triangle, pretty much everything you want from a good movie all thrown into one action packed film. The best things about this film were by far the satirical look at the military as an institution, and also the no holds barred violence. Both were done incredibly well. The comedic elements made me laugh where i should, and the bloody effects made a nice change from all the PG-13 movies around at the moment. My Rating: 9/10 Anatomy of a Murder (1959) In a murder trial, the defendant says he suffered temporary insanity after the victim raped his wife. What is the truth, and will he win his case? I expected this film to be a lot like 12 Angry Men. I was incorrect, but not disappointed. The movie itself had quite a long runtime which i started to feel halfway through, but as soon as the court scenes began i was completely pulled into the story once again and the runtime didn't feel as long anymore. The film was fantastic. Yet again it proved that you don't need lots of action, excitement and explosions to enjoy a movie. Good plot, a well developed script with interesting characters that you care about are all you need. Although by the end of the movie, i was actually hoping that the prosecution would win the case which i don't think i was supposed to. However, that didn't make me enjoy the film any less, it just meant that i was so engrossed in the story that i actually held my own opinions and didn't just blindly agree with the given story. I wouldn't say it was as good as 12 Angry Men was, however it was still a good court thriller and it's stayed with me long after watching. My Rating: 8/10 Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation (2004) In the sequel to Paul Verhoeven's loved/reviled sci-fi film, a group of troopers taking refuge in an abandoned outpost after fighting alien bugs, failing to realize that more danger lays in wait. This movie kept much of what made the original so good. But it also left a lot to be desired. The comedic aspects didn't seem quite as good. The violence didn't have the same effect. The plot wasn't as good, nor were the characters. That's not to say that the movie wasn't good. It expanded on the original story, didn't feel like a repeat of the original plot, and still had a lot going for it. Honestly near the end i really started to love this film, unfortunately it takes a long time to get really good. It's just not the same as the original. But still worth a watch. My Rating: 7/10 Starship Troopers 3: Marauder (2008) Johnny Rico is called back into action to defeat the bugs. These movies seem to get slightly worse with each sequel. Again, this film was alright. It brought back the star of the first movie, which got my hopes up, but unfortunately everything just seemed to fall a bit flat. Everything that made the original good was present, the satire, the comedy, the violence, the nudity, it's all there. It just doesn't have the same effect. The charm of the original is lost and i'm glad they stopped making these movies because while they're still alright, nothing can meet the original. My Rating: 6/10 Calvary (2014) After he is threatened during a confession, a good-natured priest must battle the dark forces closing in around him. I remember the feeling of excitement after watching this trailer back when it was first released, however, by the time i got around to watching the film, i had forgotten what the movie was even about. No matter, the film starts off nicely. It gets straight into the main plot and brought my excitement back. The first scene alone brings a lot of comedy and interest to the film. The only thing that i didn't like was that although they try and keep the second person's identity a secret, i knew instantly who it was due to the voice. Luckily the movie doesn't focus too much on the mystery behind the main plot, however, I'm sure it would have been more enjoyable to try and figure it out as you go along. Unfortunately, after this promising opening, the film falls into stale ground. While some scenes sparked my interest, i soon felt myself losing interest. I was never truly bored or enticed to stop watching, yet the middle part of the film was quite forgettable. Fortunately the movie had a good handful of decent actors attached to it which made the process of watching slightly more enjoyable. Luckily, this movie pulled things back at the end. At the climax, everything happens fairly fast. It managed to be slightly emotive with its content, bringing a feeling of anxiety and sadness to myself as a viewer. The movie definitely didn't end exactly as i expected it to and it was better for it. Everything also wrapped up well, despite feeling slightly rushed to completion, it also felt kind of perfect. This movie was mostly carried by the humour. Even in the middle of the movie, where the main plot seemed to be forgotten for a time, the humour kept me interested and had me chuckling along a fair few times. In conclusion, i would advise that if you can appreciate slightly dark British humour and an interesting story then watch this film. However, it's not something you should actively seek out because it wasn't fantastic. My Rating: 6/10 Locke (2013) Ivan Locke, a dedicated family man and successful construction manager, receives a phone call on the eve of the biggest challenge of his career that sets in motion a series of events that threaten his careful cultivated existence. This film was amazing. Movies such as this one, with most or all of the movie taking place in one place and with a very minimal cast are very hit or miss with me. They can be amazing like Phonebooth or terrible like Grand Piano. Luckily, this fits with the former. I was honestly surprised to realise how much I cared about the characters and their lives by the end of the film. The ending itself is kind of abrupt in a way, so all of the plot points that have built up throughout the film never get fully resolved. This i both hated and loved, however, it really effectively shows how much you care, because I really want to know more. The cast were all brilliant. Even though everybody apart from Tom Hardy were just voices on a phone, they conveyed emotion and portrayed a real person extremely well. And Tom himself stole everything. He was amazing all the way throughout the film. Even when his character remained calm through emotional scenes, you could see that he was trying to hold himself together and he wasn't just acting calm. It's difficult to be the star of a feature length movie where the camera is focused on just you the whole time but Tom does it amazingly well. I have to mention how well the cinematography was done. It wasn't overly amazing, but i noticed it due to the fact that you would think there are only so many different shots of the inside of a car that one can show before it gets monotonous, however this film manages to go a full hour and a half without it feeling dull. In conclusion, this film was pretty amazing. If you don't need action, excitement, nudity or gore to enjoy a movie, then you'll probably enjoy this film. My Rating: 8/10

Goslir did meet the two sons of the real Jerry Wooters and was eager to hear about their "old man". In fact they told him how the real Jerry Wooters would flick the ashes from his cigarette into his pants cuffs--so Ryan started doing that during the filming. I'm not sure it ever made it onto the screen. As for Penn, he definitely played the character of Mickey Cohen his way...very BIG, as critics have noted, like a Batman or James Bond villain. The real Mickey was not like that--he was a showman--but Penn's portrayal more was a riff on the tradition of Gangster Films. This one is set in 1949, the year Warner Bros released "White Heat" in which Jimmy Cagney winds up atop an oil refinery shouting, "Made it, Ma, Top of the World." real big, in other words. That film was based loosely on the Ma Barker gang, by the way...but no Barker ever bought it that way!
I found him to be very nice, unaffected and serious about his acting. Though this was an action film, in which a lot of the action is over-the-top, and not meant to be realistic, he even would question whether little bits seemed plausible...like how Josh Brolin slides him a Tommy gun clip in the final big shootout. They actually changed the bit after Ryan questioned it.
The movie is very different--it's openly heroic, you know the good guys will win and the hero get the girl. In real life, L.A. cops never got a conviction in a mob rubout for 50 years! And when they finally got one--in the killing that culminates my book--it goes the way of Noir. After their 15 years pursuing Mickey Cohen, real justice for him comes in the form of a lead pipe to the head, in prison...
Perhaps, but as you suggest it would be a very different sort of entertainment and likely not for the (3,000-theater) mass market. Even then, it's hard to imagine having those cops carry Tommy guns in a film without ever using them. (You know what they say about a film scene starting with someone putting a gun on a desk...) Or consider spy films. A realistic one can be terrific, but it won't be a James Bond blockbuster. The studio in this case was open about its intention to make "Gangster Squad" an action film.
That's what this real squad was called when it was formed in 1946. The LAPD actually had used that before for a squad that battled Prohibition rum-runners. Once the famous William Parker ("Whiskey Bill") became Police Chief, however, he changed the name to the Intelligence Division. But some of the original members, like O'Mara, kept calling themselves the Gangster Squad.
I am the one most in touch with the surviving old cops and the families of the dead ones, so I have sympathy for their concern with the movie's violence, as the granddaughter of O'Mara expressed yesterday. While some shrugged "It's only a movie" or even relished the attention given the Gangster Squad, after all these years, others felt their loved ones had been turned into gunmen not much better than the hoods.
Great question. The movie is set in 1949, when Mickey really was causing havoc in the city. Google up the old Life magazine photo of him in front of dozens of huge banner headlines he was generating almost daily as he generated a new scandal almost every week. That said, he mostly was being shot at by the Italian hoods -- not shooting at others -- and in later years he became a self-parody. He actually sold shares in his life story to any sucker who would bite. As I've said frequently, today he'd have a reality TV show, no question. But back in 1949, when the movie is set, he was perceived as a menace to L.A. Some of the language in the film may seem overblown but that year the mayor really did go on the radio to deliver a "We're going to get you Mickey Cohen!" speech you wouldn't believe.
Brilliant. One of the things that fascinated me was how city leaders in L.A. for decades obsessed with invading gangsters -- as if evil only came from without. But the number of gangster shooting in the city was miniscule compared to those committed by street gangs bred right in the heart of the city. If you read the book, I hope you reach the cemetery scene and see how that makes the point.
The post-war "Noir" era was the period that to this day defines Los Angeles...and this was a rare untold story from that era, because the squad had been so secretive. (The Noir worldview to me was: "Truth is not found in the sunshine and justice not obtained in a marble courtroom.")
Alas, she was not filming when I was on the set. My wife, of course, asked that same question...so I told her not to believe anything they wrote about us in the gossip columns. (Everyone involved said she was very sweet and a real pro...I am amused, though, when entertainment media ask her what it was like being paid to kiss Ryan Gosling...that's what they want to know.)
Very good question. I too view the Gangster Movie ideally as the flip side to America's great Horatio Alger fable, except the rags-to-riches rise is in the criminal world...and usually ends in a flaming fall, as you see in the "Gangster Squad" film. There are hints in movie of Mickey's humble past (as when he talks about being a newsboy) but not much. As I've indicated above, the local Mafia boss Jack Dragna, who had tied to Chicago, indeed kept trying to kill Mickey and did get some of his men. Mickey himself did have ties to big-time Mafia types back East, though not as strongly as Bugsy Siegel, his mentor, who had grown up with Lucky Luciano. That said, many old-line monsters had to see Mickey as a looney-tune because of how he promoted himself, posing for Life magazine with his pet doggy ("Tuffy") for instance...or going on national TV (a new show by then little known Mike Wallace) to taunt the L.A. cops and the "stupidity squad." No sane gangster did stuff like that.
Godfather I, II and Goodfellas are like heroin in my veins (if I took the stuff) even if the Godfather movies mythologize the mob. (I tend to be a demythologizer)
Good question--that's happened to me, of course, as it has with many writers. The main producers did often seek my input in this case, even though they did not have to. But they also were quite open about their attempt to make a mass market action film that would be very different than my printed versions. You sometimes have to accept what authority you have or don't have...and go along for the ride. A studio spending $60 million on a film earns the right to make it as it wishes.
The Emma Stone character is a total cinematic creation, along the lines of the old Lauren Bacall characters in her films with Bogart. But Wooters really was a wild guy. He came out of Vice, a world (sometimes lawless) apart even in the LAPD. And while he eventually married (a stewardess, he was quite the ladies man earlier in life, particularly in the war years, after he was shot down overt the pacific while taking photos of Japanese positions out of a bomber. He later kept all sorts of photos of him with various nurses, good-looking ones too. LAter, he'd sometimes show other cops films that vice had confiscated, and show 'em right in the Police Academy--they were not the sort made by Disney.
) Well, there were not all those wild shootouts on the streets of L.A. in real life--yeah, a few gambling hoods were knocked off, and then a batch of Mickey's men. But the Tommy gun action in the film was inspired more by the tradition of the genre. Also, as I said above, Mickey was more the target than the shooter when there was gunplay between him and Jack Dragna's crew ... 2) As I've said, the love interest was a creation. Mickey did have a bunch of glamor arm-candy but some of that was just for show -- he staged an engagement to one burlesque dancer who actually was happily married. In the book, she talks about how that was all a show to enhance Mickey's image. 3) As I've said, Mickey was pretty badass through 1949 (when the movie is set) but after that there was so much heat on him he was mostly a self-parody, the used-to-be playing the big gangster (when he wasn't in prison)
I've had years of contact with her and her remarkable mom, Jack O'Mara's daughter -- and a Harvard Ph.D! -- and they are right in stating that the film character is very different (and much more violent) that the real man. The real O'Mara was a fist-ready tough cop but told me he'd only fired his gun once, at a robbery suspect. And his greatest weapon was his cleverness. But the filmmakers wouldn't disagree that they stretched things in the name of drama.
Yes, Burbank was the bastion of corruption. The police chief was caught dining at Mickey's home, bought a big yacht and actually received a cash payment while attending an FBI training program back east. Mickey actually had a gambling joint by the stables there. That said, the current Burbank chief and some of his men attended the presentation we gave last week (Ellroy and I) at the LA Police Museum and laughed with everyone else at that past.
Mickey was not killed in prison, only crippled. But that's a question that gets to the core of my book. The real O'Mara was a very straight-laced guy, the head usher at his church, etc. He believed in good and evil and heaven and hell and was confident that he and Mickey would not wind up in the same place. However...in the end, he seemed to accept the Noir worldview that justice often was obtained not the way they teach in grade school but in the shadows. How Mickey got it was a prime example.
I often joke that you could measure my authority on either a 1-to-10 scale or 1-to-100 and it would be the same, zero. And I accepted that. But my input was solicited often, which I appreciated, even if others thought some of my suggestions were nutty. (I suggested a Louis Armstrong song for the ending, for instance, not what they envisioned in targeting a youngish audience.)
He is fantastic and the true authority on this era. We had dinner last week in L.A. then did a joint presentation at the Los Angeles Police Museum, which now has a Gangster Squad exhibit. Ellroy and the head of the museum also interviewed one of the characters in my book, the original bug man Con Keeler, before he died, especially about the squad's role in the Black Dahlia murder case. The squad was brought in on that when the police brass feared that Homicide was botching the case. That's a chapter in the book.
Yes, sure. But the appeal of this one was that it had almost been lost to history. Another LAPD unit, the Hat Squad, had gotten a lot of attention -- it was part of the Robbery Division -- but not the Gangster Squad, which was much more undercover. What's more, the killing of Jack "the Enforcer" Whalen invariably was glossed over, just a footnote in accounts of Mickey Cohen's life. The tale of Whalen, and his family, was incredibly rich. I hope people read my book just to learn about his father, Freddie the Thief, perhaps L.A.'s greatest conman of that era--a character right out of The Sting.
No, the casting was terrific. Though others have questioned Sean Penn as the Jewish and very short Mickey Cohen, I thought his intensity made him a great choice to portray a gangster, as Cagney, Brando, DeNiro, etc., had done in the past. He's a brilliant actor. Whether the choices he made in this case were right, you can judge yourself. It was interesting that the New Yorker thought he nailed it, while other critics have thought he went overboard.
No, I'm not obsessed with this era. I actually conducted the GS research over many years while I was pursuing other stories. I like ones from the fringe. I spent several years tracking a hospital killer, for instances -- one of those so-called Angels of Death, except there's nothing angelic about any of them. Medical/hospital killers top the list of mass killers in our society because killing is easy to get away with in a hospital, where people are expected to die. But what intrigued me was how the public at large often thinks there killers acted out of mercy for the sick and elderly--when that's never the case, it's a delusion to underplay the horror of what they do. I called that one, "The Graveyard Shift."
Hey, my sister liked it and she's an old Beat poet type. My wife, an elementary school educator, had a good time too (even if she had to close her eyes at some of the violence.)
As I said, that portrayal is as much a riff on past movie gangsters as the real Mickey -- he was much more press-friendly in real life, certainly. He'd hold court along the Sunset Strip. He also hired the husband of one of the city's leading columnists as sort of his personal PR man. If you read the book, you'll learn how the squad got revenge on that columnist and her hubby.
Yes to the first, but that doesn't mean it could earn back a $75 million budget. Probably yes to the second -- John Irving has a character in one of his books say he can take any real story and make it better with a little tweaking.
That's "Nehi," a very popular orange soda back then. The family of the real Wooters laughed at that because the real guy was a big (hard) drinker, as most of these men were. But Ryan used the character's going to softer drink as a way of showing his newfound commitment to the job, when he joined the squad.
I know that I -- and the families of these old cops -- would like people to know the real-life story of them, for all their flaws. But don't expect to find all sorts of wild shootouts in the book. The Whalen killing that climaxes the tale is rather chilling, I think. Everything before is leading you to that deadly night in the Valley.
James Ellroy and Walter Mosley's fiction, of course, and going back a bit, Raymond Chandler -- the story "Red Wind" contains one of the greatest Noir passages anywhere. But check out historian Kevin Starr's work too -- it's astonishing in its detail.
I loved the raid on the Burbank casino where a lot of the customers are dressed as movie extras. That was very funny and actually somewhat true to life -- Mickey's "ranch" casino by the stables did attract such a crowd. And there were frequent raids there, just without the shootouts you see in the film.
The ones today are much more scary and violent. I did some work relating to the Armenian mob around L.A. and was advised by homicide cops not to see the leader suspected of having ordered a series of hits in the garment industry--he might not understand the usual ground rules that you don;t rub out cops...or writers.
We could talk for hours about the racial/ethnic issues raised by that era and, yes, this squad. Of course, their idea of diversity was to have one Italian. And yes they joked about shooting a black guy in the ass, and not in that language. As I said before, that was a time when blacks were not part of the club, they got the club. But O'Mara did have a friendly rivalry with Tom Bradley, who went from the police force to become L.A.'s first black mayor.
Wow. Usually one doesn't or gets rejected. Or consider David Chase, who struggled along as a journeyman (and little appreciated) TV writer for years until he created the "Sopranos." I once asked him, "Were you always a genius?" He said, "Yes"
Yes, that's a danger. I tried not to romanticize the excesses of the Gangster Squad. It's hard not to take pleasure in some of their vigilante justice, as with how they took care of the pickpockets victimizing servicemen just returning from the war. But even those cops eventually saw themselves as men whose time (and tactics) had passed.
Gates was the driver and protege to Chief. Parker but as the previous poster indicates, after the time period ('49) of the film. He did later head the unit in the '60s when it was the Intelligence Division and a few of the early members (Keeler, Greeley) served under him.
In the '40s Mickey had some pretty serious characters around him, both Italians and Jews, including Jimmy Rist, who was a large guy and former boxer...but no, no one quite like that film villain. If you read the book, you'll be amused by the type of hangers-on he had in later life.
The post by Jack O'Mara's granddaughter was brought to my attention after it got such a lively response yesterday. So I thought I'd weigh in on the reality-v-fiction question. Of course, I hope people read the book version of "Gangster Squad," even if they just get it from the library -- I believe the families of the old squad members do too. In any case, this is a terrific forum. I think if people use it too commercially they won't get such a vigorous response.
I did not speak to family members, but did find: two of his lawyers, including Max Solomon, who had represented Bugsy Siegel too -- and who inspired one member of the Gangster Squad to go to law school (you've got to read the book); two of the friends at his table at Rondelli's the night Jack Whalen was killed; several of his girlfriends/dates; and of course Max Baer Jr., the son of the heavyweight champ who hung with him right before being cast as Jethro in the Bev. Hillbillies. Etc. Their feelings about Mickey ran the gamut, but check out the ones in the book from Tony Reno, the lounge singer.
True, brilliant stuff is being done on television with all its outlets while the big screen tends to draw the visual spectacle. We the consumers are the winners with all the choices.
Right...the ambush scene now set in Chinatown originally was set in Grauman's Chinese Theatre...that was reshot after the Aurora tragedy, delaying the film's release four months.
Right, you know your history. Dramatic license in the film, I suppose. Actually, the interim chief who served from '49-'50 was a remarkable man, Gen. William Worton, a leader of the Marines during the war in the Pacific. After that, he was a spy against the Japanese. So he understood secretive squads--he's the one who moved the Gangster Squad right into his office in City Hall. That's all in the book.
Well, the early GS was a little like today's Swat Teams (which didn't exist then). But with all their head-knocking we can overlook their pioneering role in gathering intelligence on the mob -- they were assembling files a full decade before the FBI's J. Edgar Hoover acknowledged the existence of organized crime. That's one reason he and the LAPD's Chief Parker were such bitter rivals.
I think it was partly for dramatic effect and partly to avoid being too similar to The Untouchables. In fact, Mickey was indicted for conspiracy in the Whalen killing but the jury hung. What did Mickey say while the jury was sequestered and he was at the barber shop? Something like, "This is a crazy world--they lock up the jury and I'm a free man."
Fred Whalen is not in the film, either as an actor (he's dead) or character. But, yeah, we probably should do a whole move about the great conman who survived on his wits for almost a century. His pool playing did earn him a role in Disney's "The Cat from Outer Space," of course.
