Sisu - a review!
Sisu. Noun; White knuckled grit and determination!
I saw a trailer many months ago for a Finnish movie, where one man absolutely eviscerates a Nazi, but I never got to see it in the cinema.
Today, I bought the movie through Blockbuster, and gave it a look. What a movie!
The story of the movie is very simple: During the last desperate days of World War II, a solitary prospector, played by Jorma Tommila, crosses paths with Nazis on a scorched-earth retreat in northern Finland. When the Nazis steal his gold, they quickly discover that they have just tangled with no ordinary miner. While there is no direct translation for the Finnish word "sisu", this legendary ex-commando will embody what sisu means: a white-knuckled form of courage and unimaginable determination in the face of overwhelming odds. No matter what the Nazis throw at him, the one-man death squad will go to outrageous lengths to get his gold back - even if it means killing every last Nazi in his path
The many ways he kills said Nazis are VERY creative. We're talking landmines to the head, stabbings, shootings and various other means of disposal.
Now, with a description like that, you'd probably guessed by now, that it's a pretty violent movie. Think Quentin Tarantino levels of violence, and you get the idea.
Lots of blood, but no guts. Well.. Some people meet their end at the bottom of a tank track, so some guts are on display, however they are very well camouflaged because the soldiers wear black clothes. A very clever way for the filmmaker to add graphic details without actually showing them.
As a movie, Sisu is VERY well shot. One shot in particular left me stunned. The acting is also pretty good, but the villain is a bit.. Well, wooden. But I suppose that nobody wants to play a truly brutal Nazi SS officer on movie.. Well, apart from Pilou Asbæk in Overlord. My lord, that was grim!
If you are looking for an extremely violent, but also decently funny movie, give Sisu a view. It's about two hours long, but it doesn't feel like it.
10/10 - highly recommended!

Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway
The film is based on Sagarika's autobiography, “The Journey of a Mother” which was published in 2022. Sagarika moved to Norway with her husband Anurup Bhattacharya in 2007 as the latter got a job there as a geophysicist.
Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway follows the story of an Indian immigrant couple whose world came crashing down in 2011 when their two children were removed from their care by the Norwegian foster system due to differences in culture.
The story begins with "Mrs Chatterjee" moving to Norway with her husband after marriage and settling down there.
The film is based on the struggles of a real-life mother, Sagarika Chakraborty, whose life took a dramatic turn in 2011 when Norway's child protection services (CPS), known as Barnevernet, took custody of her three-year old son and infant daughter accusing the couple of “improper parenting”.
Chatterjee Vs. Norway were abusing their children, and after they were taken and placed in foster care, Chakraborty's fight to regain custody became a diplomatic row and international incident because her children were Indian citizens.
The ending of the film more or less reflects real events. Just as Sagarika Chakraborty regained custody of her children in January 2013, the fictional Debkia Chatterjee is deemed to be emotionally able to be a mother and is reunited with her children at the end of the film.

The Sound of Freedom
Saw this movie last night, very riveting and disturbing. It is about child sex trafficking. Disney did not want to release the movie which is interesting since Disney is supposed to care about social issues and children. Amazon and Netflix were not interested. The movie was released by Angel Studios and had a budget of $14 million. So far has ticket sales of $125 million. Now will be opening internationally. Jim Caviezel hopes this will have the same effect Uncle Tom’s Cabin had on peoples awareness of the horror of slavery. In the movie it states there are now more people enslaved than at any time in history.
DARK WATERS
Best and most interesting movie I've watched in a long time...
unfortunately it's based on true events.
Too late for so many
but all the lives saved because of the persistence of one man
Discussing the movie earlier with Mr Know it all
according to him much is also going on in Brazil today concerning American toxic waste.
In whom can we trust these days, certainly not the big boys we should ...
On another blog someone used the expression
" like toads in boiling water"
the lady wasn't too far wrong with what she said.
Anyways, DARK WATERS is an eye opener and definitely worth a watch
stock up on the popcorn though as it is longer than your average movie

Tulsa King
This is a series on Paramount starring Sylvester Stallone. The premise is that Stallones character was released from prison after 20 years and sent to Oklahoma to start a mafia crime branch in Tulsa.
If you can would enjoy the tv show Happy days being merged with the Supranos you will be entertained. Stallone is a 75 year old “Fonzie”. He takes over a marijuana shop just by walking in hitting the security guard over the head with a coffee thermos grabs the nerdy owner by the collar and walking out with $50,000 in cash.
Another ridiculous episode, Stallone and his gang of locals walk into a biker club and beat everyone with baseball bat with no serious injuries.
There are also some disgusting murder scenes like the Sopranos had so it is kind of a weird merger of romanticized the good macho guys win mixed with blood and guts.
There are 9 episodes and the second season is being filmed now. I give this 4 out of 5 stars.

1408.......Number13....
Investigator & a paranormal writer who visits local so-called ghost spottings, stays there, and then writes about them in his books to prove that spooky places and ghosts do not exist. One day someone sends him a postcard from the Dolphin Hotel located within the city. On the postcard it reads "Don't stay in 1408" and of course now Mike wants to find out why no one should stay in 1408. Seeing a chance to prove another haunt false, he decides to go to the Dolphin Motel and stay in 1408...
The film follows Mike Enslin, an author who investigates allegedly haunted houses and rents the titular room 1408 at a New York City hotel. Although skeptical of the paranormal, he is soon trapped in the room where he experiences bizarre events.
The room is numbered "1408". Add each number together, and it equals 13 (1+4+0+8=13). The room is on the 14th floor, and the hotel skips the 13th floor, so the room is technically on the 13th floor.
An anonymous postcard to not stay in room 1408.
(Do not Enter.... 1408
Dolphin Hotel)
Excellent story that will keep you watching as it bends not only John Cusack's mind but the viewers...
1408 is surprisingly interesting and lives
up to everything a
horror fan is looking for...
Absolutely worth a look.
