"Uhura" dead at 89...
Nichelle Nichols, who portrayed communications officer lieutenant Uhura on the original 'Star Trek' series has passed away at the age of 89.
She had gone on to appear on other Star Trek movies and had a few other acting gigs.
I'll remember her for having the first Bluetooth earpiece.

Impromptu movie night yesterday!
I was scrolling through Amazon Prime yesterday, as you do. The movie Bloodshot caught my eye, and I thought "Hang on, isn't that the one with Vin Diesel? I have always wanted to see that".. So I did. I quite liked it. Action packed, full of pretty spectacular stunts but the CGI wasn't really the best. Most noticeable was when Vin was having a superheroesque brawl with one of the villains. Very enjoyable two hours. Once that was over, a quick break with some food, and then I jumped straight to Netflix, and into a suspenseful thriller, that was suuper dark. Night Hunter, was the name of that movie. It stars Henry Cavill as a weathered detective in Canada, who is investigating a death, and gets caught up in a very dangerous case, involving a recently arrested man linked to years of female abductions and murders. Besides Cavill, Alexandra Dadario, Ben Kingsley, Stanley Tucci and Brendan Fletcher completes the main cast. Brendan Fletcher REALLY shines in this movie, which is a great watch. It's filled with great acting and a twist you never see coming. When it happened, I went "Of COURSE! How could I not have seen it?".. The final movie of the night was the 1983 CLASSIC (yes, it's a classic!) Blue Thunder. Why did I decide to watch that? Well, after the darkness that was Night Hunter, I wanted to watch something light and fun, because ending your night with a dark thriller really doesn't do anything to help you sleep. Trust me, I know!
Anyway, Blue Thunder is one of those movies where you go "Wow, it was a simpler time back then". The movie itself is hugely entertaining, full of, for the time, great action and the lead role is well played by Rob Scheider and the rest of the cast is Warren Oats, Candy Clark and Daniel Stern (yes, Marv from Home Alone). When I saw Daniel on screen, I went "Hang on, he seems familiar.. Who is he..?".. I had to go to IMDb to find out, and when I did, it was yet again one of those "Of COURSE!" moments.
I might have to watch more movies from the eighties, because they are a LOT of fun!

Resistance is futile...
Comet TV was doing a weekend marathon and Star Trek: First Contact was on last night.
It's a Science Fiction movie about space travelers in the 24th century. The focus of the movie is for the spaceship Enterprise who went back in time to thwart the efforts of the cybernetic Borg, an alien group of organisms who traveled back in time to change history.
I dislike TV commercials and get up to pursue other interests (like snacks in the kitchen) and often miss parts of the movie, but it's expected to play again this month!
Usually the last music I listen to before bed is playing over and over when I awake. Today is no different.
While on the subject of resistance being futile, news this morning, Trump's claims of election fraud aren't going well for him.
After seeing the ads where's he's asking for donations to support his court battle that 60% of the money goes to pay off his campaign debt... the longer he keeps an audience to believe he actually has a chance, the better-off he is financially. Not conceding is expected, but there will be a new president swearing in January 20th.

Quote of the Night - Chris Cristie
I played softball tonight and am now chillin', watching Colbert.
Former NJ governor, republican Chris Christie was his guest.
The last line of the interview was first Colbert saying "we have to go now,
but Trump's former campaign manager, Steve Bannon is in jail.
Are you going to visit him ?"
Christie's reply; "I wouldn't visit him if he lived next door. He's a bum !"

Jyoti and her father mourn his death. The bandages on Prakash's face are removed and he discovers that he is blind. She whips and hits him during captivity and vows to behead him. Jyoti is wooed by Captain Vinod (Sujit Kumar), who buys her gifts and says the same lines as Prakash had said. All these remind her of Prakash. To win his heart Kamini takes Prakash to horse riding from where he escapes. He hides behind a rock, and in "hunting" him, Kamini falls off the mountain and dies.

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.

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!
