4. Bahubhali I & II, the beginning & the conclusion.(Bollywood).

The stigma of an age difference. Funny because chronological age is different from emotional age. It's possible that the younger may match an older in terms of mental development. This is why I look less at an age in numbers and more at an age in development. After all, sometimes one has had earned the experience of years that contradict the age in years,

To eliminate the possibilities due to chronological age is an error. One must also consider children and location. The physical attraction is very influential but can't be the ultimate decision maker, as simply eliminating by age is the solution. I am all for the coupling of like minds and hearts. To miss an opportunity due to age is a tragic mistake.

To entertain all possibilities can bring wonderful results.

It's rare that a Danish film is received well by everyone, particularly when it's made by two relatively unknown directors. They received some money from The Danish Film Institute, and then they got to work making an action thriller, that is fairly well put together. The story spans just over a day, and we follow two police officers, Jens and Mike, on their patrol in the wake of the violent arrest of a 19 year old man, who ends up in a coma. Once confirmation comes through that the young man has died, the two cops are trapped in the ghetto, where the deceased was from, with tensions mounting towards them. It's now up to them to find a way out, before they are killed.

Alongside them is Amos, a boy they arrested for throwing an item at their squad car. He helps them navigate the maze of buildings, until they reach safety.

One of the cops, Mike, is extremely racist, which can be tough to watch, while Jens is much more respectful towards everyone. Mike uses derogatory terms towards everybody, and I would imagine that the actor playing the racist cop, had to ask if the other actors were okay with being called extremely rude and disrespectful names. I met the actor who is playing Mike, when I was on a shoot for a crime tv show, and he's super friendly and caring towards everyone, so it was weird seeing him take on this racist of a role.

The setting of the movie is in a place called Svalegården, which is based on a real life ghetto about 15 minutes driving from where I live. It was weird seeing that on screen, but the setting really helped making Shorta a thrilling and exciting watch. Shorta, by the way, is Arabic for cop, and the original title for the movie was "panser", which means armor in Danish. It's also the Danish slang word for cop. So this is very much a cop based film, with certain elements mixed into the story. Racism, police brutality and violence, to name a few.

The cast in the film is Jesper Lohmann as Mike, Simon Sears as Jens and Tarek Zayat as Amos. Tarek in particular is great in the film. When you think of Danish films, you might think that all we make are gloomy crime dramas, and cringe worthy comedy, which is true. This is the second time a Danish film has tried to be a serious action film, the first one being the WWII drama Flammen & Citronen.

In general, Shorta was an enjoyable two hours of content.

Trailer for Shorta/Enforcement:

Just finished watching a surreal film called Imperial Dreams.
It reflects the plight of our people/Israelites in this land of captivity while trying to rise above our circumstances, especially as Brothers wanting to raise our families.There is nothing worse than dealing with a wicked system built with the intent of racism and supremacy towards people of color, just to have our own brothers and sisters of color volunteer their souls in the hands of this supremacist system by working for it against their own people.I watched a sister working as a social worker and police officers of color take away a father's child ,because he is living out of his car due to his only family wanting him to re-enter the gang and drug world in which the father manages to resist the entire film.The sister police officer tells the father it's not good to have his son sleep in the car in a crime ridden neighborhood, but doesn't offer the young father any alternatives or help.The local church is worthless in offering shelter or honest employment and the social worker would rather take away his son instead of using her influence in the system to find this father and son decent shelter and employment to take care of his family.
Yet, she can gladly take away his custody of the child, thereby reinforcing the mindset and the doctrine of Willie Lynch upon her people.This film speaks volumes of how we are clueless and asleep to our cultural curses and always kissing the butt of our oppressors in spite of destroying our own people.
The only way to break these curses and mindsets is by returning to the covenant of our forefathers in the scriptures.We are in a sad state of affairs as a nation (so call blacks,Hispanics,native Americans)

Earlier today, I went to the cinema to catch the 25th Bond film, No Time to Die. With me was my mother, my two uncles and my two aunts. The cinema we chose was Imperial in Copenhagen, one of the biggest cinemas in Northern Europe.

As we sat down in the cinema, my mind began to wander. "I hope it's as good as they say. How will the villain be?"

The lights went out, so I was about to get answers to all these questions.

The movie is directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, and the synopsis is as follows: Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.

Reprising their roles from previous films, we have Daniel Craig as Bond, Léa Seydoux as Madeleine Swann, Ralph Fiennes as M, Naomie Harris as Moneypenney, Ben Whishaw as Q, Rory Kinnear as Tanner, Jeffrey Wright as Felix Leiter and Christoph Waltz as Blofeld. Newcomers to the franchise are Ana de Armas as Paloma, Lashana Lynch as Nomi (007 for most of the film), Billy Magnussen as Logan Ash, Davic Dencik as Valdo Obruchev, Lisa-Dorah Sonnet as Mathilde and Rami Malek as Lyutsifer Safin, the main villain.

As usual with a Bond film, there are huge set pieces, and exotic locations. Of course there is a villain with his own island, who is bent on world domination. It gets old very quickly, and it keeps Rami Malek's character from being terrifying. He's actually quite boring, now that I think about it. Now, this being a Bond film, there is naturally going to be some explosions of some kind, and this movie has a few. It mostly relies on practical stunts, however, and there is one sequence that's almost near perfection. It's a car chase that starts on the side of a mountain, and ends up in a forest. Absolutely fantastic stuff, with some amazing car stunts. It never gets old seeing a Land Rover Defender fly through the air, at speed!

However, this movie is not without any flaws, sadly. One of the flaws is with the villain. As I wrote a while back, his villain is just plain boring. The Bond franchise really need to reinvent their villains. Give me a terrifying villain, who is looking for revenge for something either Bond or MI6 has done, kind of like Silva in Skyfall. That villain worked so well, because he had a personal score to settle, and not trying to take over the world.

In the end, No Time to Die is a great Bond film.Lots of exotic locations, good looking cars and great action sequences. The real star of the show is Lisa-Dorah Sonnet, who is super adorable. An absolute joy to watch on the big screen.
