Most sci-fi movies I watch and this latest one from director Bong Joon Ho("Parasite" director) delivers a film "Mickey 17" that's complex and different it challenges the viewing mind as it's like a mind numbing journey thru outer space. The story is pretty simple Robert Pattinson("Batman") is a young man who's placed on a journey thru space a planet where he tries to live and even when he dies his body can be replaced. Mark Ruffalo stars as a mean politician who oversees the game(also look for the sexy Toni Collette as Mark's elegant trophy wife who looks just fine in her silk shiny colored blouses!) Overall the film is nothing great still it has fun and laughs and was an okay watch for the space theme and it's cast.

Finally saw "Anora" and as with most films from Sean Baker it was his typical fun loving go against the grain and norm type of movie, while at the same time being fun and playful. Set in New York city you have Ani(in a full out performance from Mikey Madison) a mixture of stripper, exotic dancer, and escort who meets a diamond in the ruff find in a wild card character in Ivan(Mark Eydelshteyn) a Russian immigrant who just wants fun however the attraction and intimate love and raw sex lead to a fairy tale like marriage. The film has plenty of sex, and skin, and it's theme feels like parody of other films like "Pretty Woman", and "Cinderella" along the way it's moved by it's party and raw atmosphere and it's becomes a power struggle when Ivan's parents become involved wanting the marriage to become annulled, only Ani stands up as she's become such a tough vixen(she even has a damsel in distress scene where she's tied up and gagged). This film may not be everyone's cup of tea still it's entertaining, blunt, outspoken and provocative, showing that connection and love is possible for anyone and it's often unexpected whether it's meant to be or not, and it has a feel good feel thru all of the drama and power struggle.

Always been a life long "Philadelphia Eagles" fan and it was so special and memorable when they won their first "Super Bowl" back in 2018 with an upset over Brady and the Pats in "Super Bowl 52" now finally they win another one! And it was revenge on K. C. as the "Super Bowl 57" loss brought bitter memories. This time Patrick couldn't beat the Birds in the end. Speaking of Patrick Mahomes the QB was troubled all game as the D line was in his face, the defense would set the tone with 6 sacks, and they forced three turnovers, Sweat was a beast off the edge had 2.5 sacks, and rookie slot CB and birthday boy Cooper DeJean got a pick six! Wow the Chiefs were pushed around and dominated only with 23 total net at the half, it seemed as if the game was already over! The other birthday boy all world RB Saquon Barkley didn't have his usual day of over 100 rush yards only 57 yards on 25 carries, yet Jalen would ball out as Hurts stood in and stood tall and beat the blitz and won Super Bowl MVP with just fine stats 17/22 for 221 and 2 TD passes a beauty to Devonta Smith, and Hurts proved he's the duel threat as he also beat the Chiefs with his legs had 11 carries for 72 and 1TD(a push tush!) Total domination as the birds flew high as the Eagles are once again "Super Bowl" champs a delight and treat for all of their fans, as they even amazed us and everyone with the one sided blowout win! I feel the Eagles can start a run and get on a dynasty level as they can at least repeat or win some more Super Bowls, as with Hurts, Barkley, the O line and the pass rush from the D line they are tough to beat. Go Birds, Fly Eagles Fly!
