Moon Kick...psshh. For one, it's a Flash Kick. And for two, ain't gon' happen! It's a moon kick in these parts kid. Watch your god damn mouth! I don't mean to brag, but I spent a lot of time at the Casino and Palace arcades downtown (before they were turned into peep shows, then I spent more time there). Put it this way, the Asians stop wasting their quarters against me and referred to me as the Emperor.

One of those joints that had a huge arcade for kids to play while parents drank. People usually would go there after little league and pop warner games on the weekends. Point being...you can't fuck with my Balrog.

Shot Caller—Holy Shit is it good. It’s on Amazon Prime. Basically a wealthy banker goes to jail for killing his best friend/business partner when he ran a red light after having some drinks. Goes to jail for 7 year and becomes the leader of the skin heads in there. That movie is a complete sleeper. It’s fucking great.

You Were Never Really Here - 8.5 of 10. Jaouquin Phoenix as a hard luck veteran with a real nasty case of PTSD, who makes ends meet doing brute work for high class clients whose kids run away/get kidnapped. Story is good and fucked up, editing and cinematography are excellent, and Phoenix is back to his all time best. Solid flick. Rampage - 7 of 10. Dumb popcorn action flick, but it fully realizes this and doesn't try to be anything more. Lots of red meat for fans of the arcade or fans of giant monsters tearing up cities with solid CGI and an occasional one liner from the Rock. A Quiet Place - 8 of 10. Pretty respectable attempt at being creative in the horror genre. Excellent creature creation and CGI, the novelty of hunting by sound, a blind monster and how people adapt to live in that world. The female lead is phenomenal and really makes the movie. The kids fucking suck and deserve to die, and are the weak point of the film. Fucking kids, man. I completely agree with everything you said on A Quiet Place. It’s solid. Rock movies are straight cheeseville to me anyway so the only way i will watch it is with my kid. I’m REALLY wanting to see You Were Never Really Here and you just made it worse by confirming what I had suspected.

Thinking about it I never had a favourite. Maybe Blanka. Jess, hell she just facerolls with Guile. One of the best players I knew somehow was good with E Honda. Personally, my favorite fighting game was Power Stone 1&2.

I was decent with Sagat (The Fagat, as my boys called him.) I always felt the arcade controller was pretty much necessary for Sagat. He could do those flying knees over projectiles when timed right and that was key with him imo. Was also a fan of Guile, Ryu and Deejay in the later editions.

Ryu, no question. Once you get defensively and strategically good enough that the gimmick fighters are no longer effective, Ryu is the best overall fighter.

Marvel's Age of Avenging Infinite WarfareWait....So Thanos is basically Bill Burr? As a self-confessed member of the comic book movie fatigue club, I stopped seeing all these Marvel and DC movies in the theaters a while back. Hell, I don't even see them all, in general anymore. But this one felt like a must. Whether I ended up liking it or not, this promised to be a hell of a theater experience. And it was certainly that, but also it was one hell of a story!!! And a surprising one. I mean......the balls. The sheer, massive BALLS of these Russo brothers to do what they do in this film. Kids were crying in the theater, people were aghast, befuddled, maybe even angry, when the screen went black and the credits started rolling I can't say what went on that left the audience that way, but let's just say this was some heavy shit. Like beyond what you may be thinking, or who may have perished, etc. Unless you're a comic book reader, to where there may be some similarities. I don't know. All I know is they went for the jugular with this one. Allbeit, there is another movie coming that will almost definitely rectify a lot of these unsaid things I'm referring to. But to leave it this way now was bold as hell Thanos is one of the best villains I've ever seen in a movie. Easily top 10. Not just for being cool and menacing. Not just for being supremely resolute and powerful. But for being so layered, measured, calculating, even....thoughtful. You actually can understand what he's trying to do. You won't agree with it, but you will get that he thinks he's doing the right thing. It makes for a much more interesting antagonist than one that just wants to do evil, for the sake of it. And it's HIS movie. All the heroes get their time to shine. Iron Man, Thor, Gamora and Doctor Strange in particular. But Thanos is the feature here. And he's fucking awesome. His henchmen are pretty cool too. Especially this one wizard like dude, who looks a lot like Eddie from the old Iron Maiden album covers On the negative side, there were a lot of overly melodramatic crying face scenes that felt extremely similar to each other. Also Vision sort of seemed like a pussy, all of a sudden. That was weird. Oh and no Antman. Which was dumb. I'm sure they'll have written his movie to explain his absense, but to have everyone but him felt like a slap in the face to that character. I mean no Hawkeye either, but who gives a shit about bow and arrow dude, when we got people flying around, using crazy powers and throwing large vehicles at each other? Other than that though, I can't come up with too much else bad to say about it. It was a damn good time Oh and there is one post credit scene. All the way at he very end of the credits (which was annoyingly long). But it's worth seeing, as it seems to set something very important up and I think left some people who knew what it meant, with a needed glimmer of hope. I had to ask people what it meant, but once I found out I totally can see where they're going with it. So don't miss that 8.5 / 10

Every single dominant SFII player I ever saw used Guille and did a shitload of those backflip things. My favorite was ken or Ryu. My favorite fighting game was Soul Caliber for Sega something in the year 2000. My neighbor had it

Balrog can make very quick work of Ryu, if you can get close enough that is. Ryu, Guile and Deejay all have a great defensive, hang back and unload projectiles game. Balrog...i use him because he can cut right through that shit.

It goes waaaaay too far on the, (are we trying not to do spoilers here?) too far on the finger snap. Like so far that you know that the finger snap can't be set in stone. Even without the 'finger snap' there is a heck of a lot to unload. Undersold here, how about Star Lord doing the deed? My wife and I talked about Vision also actually. What a power down for him. "Explained" in about a 1/2 sentence as being affected differently by bad-guy's badass spear in his surprise attack. I don't know, I like it. It was pretty hilarious as well. Very serious and dark a couple times. A little too much went poof. I had to read about the extra scene as well. Doing that also revealed that BARF was going to be pretty important in Avengers 4.. which is a little concerning.

KODACHROME
Cool movie if you want to get in touch with your inner bitch and cry a little. Specially if you had a tough relationship with your father.
Jason Sudekis does an excellent job in a serious roll but still with his funny side.
Ed Harris will probably get a nom here and there. Beautifully acted.
7/10

I watched black panther last night. It was not nearly as good as I thought it was going to be. The frequent harping on the color issue just really took away from what should have been a standard comicbookmovie.
I think they also took some pretty stupid steps to insert there political perspective into the story.
For example, at the beginning when killmonger goes off about white civilization taking whatever they wanted and that was why he was going to take the artifact he was after. I'm sorry but if Wakanda has been more advanced than every other country in the world for thousands of years? How the fuck did a bunch of spear slinging white dudes take a damn thing from them?
Overall I thought the story was kind of lacking. And I thought the regular references to race were forced and detracted from what could have been a pretty cool movie. Killmonger's final line was probably supposed to be poignant, but I just thought it was really fucking cheesy. My least favorite comic book movie so far.
But I'm glad that they decided to share their technology with the world so that we might stand a chance when Thanos shows up. I'll watch that movie when it gets released on digital as well.

Den of Thieves - 7.75 of 10.
Not a fan of this cops vs robbers genre, in general, but as they go, this one isn't too bad. Gerard Butler (300) is the hard boiled cop at the head of his special crimes unit, squaring off and matching wits with a super crew of bank robbers. Pretty standard stuff, but well done, and a really nice and unforseen twist at the end, and Butler is very good in his role and has very believable rough edges.

Started off a pretty obvious copy of Heat and I was thinking it was a remake based on the opening. Clearly some parallel between the two. I thought it was about an 8 and entertaining.

A Night to Remember (1950 -something). 9.5/ 10
Movie about the Titanic. Highly recommend. Straightforward, brilliant acting, script, sets, dialogueand effects. Iactually watched it 2 1/2 times, and it left me wanting more still, so I did
Titanic (1998). 2.5/ 10
Absolutely awful. Effects looked more fake than the 1955 version. Crappy CGI everywhere. Hackneyed script, hackneyed acting, hackneyed directing. Unappealing female lead, needless stupidity added to every scene. Even if you winnowed down to the 1.5 hours of worthwhile Titanic story, that movie would have been mediocre
