Rebel Moon "Behind the Scenes" Featurette
Getting some sci-fi Seven Samurai vibes here.
"When a peaceful colony on the edge of a galaxy finds itself threatened by the armies of a tyrannical ruling force, Kora (Sofia Boutella), a mysterious stranger living among the villagers, becomes their best hope for survival. Tasked with finding trained fighters who will unite with her in making an impossible stand against the Mother World, Kora assembles a small band of warriors — outsiders, insurgents, peasants and orphans of war from different worlds who share a common need for redemption and revenge. As the shadow of an entire Realm bears down on the unlikeliest of moons, a battle over the fate of a galaxy is waged, and in the process, a new army of heroes is formed." (Netflix)
Rebel Moon is directed by Zack Snyder, who wrote the film with Kurt Johnstad and Shay Hatten. The film stars Sofia Boutella, Doona Bae, Ray Fisher, Staz Nair, Michiel Huisman, Charlie Hunnam, E. Duffy, and Djimon Hounsou.
Rebel Moon hits Netflix on December 22, 2023.

John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)
Tumblr media
John Wick: Chapter 4 delivers the kind of expertly coordinated, clearly shot action you rarely see in movies today. 169 minutes sounds long but in execution, it isn’t. You’re excited the whole way through. The conclusion, however, leaves me with mixed feelings. Is this the last episode in the series? If it is, there are many elements that ultimately, didn’t go anywhere. If it isn’t, John Wick: Chapter 5 will have to do some serious limbo-ing to get out of the weird corner it's gotten itself into.
Continuing his campaign of vengeance against the High Table, John Wick (Keanu Reeves) provokes the Marquis Vincent de Gramont (Bill Skarsgård). His plan? Challenge him to a duel. If John wins, he will be free of all obligations towards the High Table. Unfortunately, John can only do this if he is readmitted to a crime family, a feat easier said than done.
John Wick: Chapter 4 is an action movie but I’d also compare it to an art film. The plot almost doesn’t matter. The Marquis, Elder (George Georgiou) and Harbinger (Clancy Brown) all fulfill complex roles and enforce policies/rules I’m not sure anyone understands. Narratively, the secret (?) society has all sorts of honorary traditions, which makes the plot complex but also not really. If you miss why this person is now on John's side when they weren’t before, that’s ok. What matters is the stunt coordination, cinematography, special effects and the way the results make you feel. Why do civilians keep dancing while men kill each other in the middle of a club? Because it looks good. That's why.
A world as obfuscating as this one should push you towards not caring about anything but this third sequel engages you with crazy characters and concepts that make you go “Where is this going"? Donnie Yen plays Caine, a blind assassin forced out of retirement to kill John Wick. How can someone who can’t see belong in a world that begins and ends with guns? You want to know. You want to find out what his ties to our hero are and what circumstances turned him into this Zatoichi-like warrior. Did he lose his eyesight? Was he always blind? Similarly, Scott Adkins plays Killa Harkan, this supremely greasy member of the German Table you just know has a thousand stories to tell just looking at him.
As nice as it is to have colorful characters living in a world that stretches beyond the borders of the screen, what you came for are the action scenes. Can they top what we saw before? Yes. The biggest and most impressive is a long battle shot from above which has John making his way through seemingly endless ruined rooms, taking out opponents with incendiary rounds while tracking - and being tracked - by two other opponents. You can’t even imagine how it was choreographed. The fights are flashy, full of bone-crunching stunts that will make you wince and often end in some kind of wild turn that takes you completely by surprise while giving you a tour of multiple cities. The film isn’t all that concerned with realism and is that much the better for it.
My primary criticism is that John Wick: Chapter 4 is both too close- and open-ended. This film's fallout should keep the story going but it's also very definitive as a final chapter. It's like director Chad Stahelski couldn't pick one or the other. If this is the end, it's not fully satisfactory. John Wick doesn't even share a single scene with his dog and his relationship with man's best friend is what started this campaign. Elements and characters introduced previously are forgotten (Halle Berry's Sofia, for example) or don't have the kind of payoff that makes the detour we took to get there seem worth it. Shamier Anderson as Mr. Nobody for example. His interactions with John and the Marquis are terrific, but at the end, he feels like a cool character writers Shay Hatten and Michael Finch wanted to include but ultimately, didn't know what to do with.
Anyone who has seen the previous John Wick films should see this latest installment. Even if you haven't, the visual razzle-dazzle of John Wick: Chapter 4 is worth it. Whether this is the last time we see John Wick and this world is hard to see but I hope not. Despite everything good about this picture, there are still many unanswered questions. (Theatrical version on the big screen, May 12, 2023)

“If you cannot bring her to me, then the one whose public execution will send shivers down the spines of the senators, and whose screams will echo down its marbled halls will be yours.”
King Balisarius is great at fascist politics but awful at basic grammar, Rebel Moon "Part One: A Child of Fire"

John Wick: Chaper 4 (dir. Chad Stahelski) x SXSW 2023.
What’s most remarkable about Chapter 4 is just how weary the title character is. He constantly looks tired, worn out, beat up, and just done with his constant suffering. This general feeling of weariness informs the extended fight scenes and pure exhaustion of the action spectacle [Keanu] Reeves and Stahelski put on screen. It’s unrelenting and punishing in its excessive entertainment.

REview - Rebel Moon: A Child of Fire (2023) | What Did You Expect!?
I watched Zach Snyder’s Rebel Moon a week or so ago and…it was watchable but to be fair that’s a fairly low bar. A better question would perhaps be ‘Is it any good?’ And the answer is ‘No, it is not. Not really.’ Zach Snyder isn’t much of writer and while he didn’t tackle Rebel Moon alone (while Snyder wrote the story, the screenplay was written with Kurt Johnstad and Shay Hatten) it takes so…

John Wick: Chapter 4. Review.
Even as a big fan of this series. up to this point watching the newest and best entry thus far felt like. a major level up of everything this franchise does well and what has made it so desirable for imitation.
Full disclosure. This author is a confessed huge fan of the John Wick franchise. That said much as he would argue all the previous films are all great the two initial sequels are a little bit heavy only slightly obtuse lore of the assassins and Continental visitors coming after our monosyllabic antihero. Given the direction the franchise has been heading it was not surprising to hear on paper…

Day Shift (2022)
My rating: 6/10
Plenty of plot holes, but the action scenes are pretty good, the characters don't entirely suck, and overall this is a pretty enjoyable movie.

Charlie Hunnam is currently promoting Netflix's space fantasy REBEL MOON: PART ONE: A CHILD OF FIRE,
Tumblr media
directed by Zack Snyder, from a script by Snyder, Shay Hatten (ARMY OF THE DEAD) and Kurt Johnstad (300 and 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE) starring Sofia Boutella, Djimon Hounsou, Ray Fisher, Doona Bae and not one, but two GAME OF THRONES Daario Naharises - Michiel Huisman as the frustratingly hard-headed Gunnar and Ed Skrein
Tumblr media
as film's Big Bad Admiral Atticus Noble.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hunnam plays Kai, an Irish (and it's a fairly passing Irish accent, if I may say so myself) mercenary who is recruited by Boutella's Kora on her mission to stop Noble's plan for domination.
Tumblr media
While promoting the film, Hunnam spoke with British GQ and the interviewer asked him if he had seen the mention of his QUEER AS FOLK character Nathan Maloney in the 2022 Showtime reboot of the series.
Nathan being fit as hell tracks. Nathan being on Grindr doesn't. He doesn't need the apps. He could pull effortlessly.
Tumblr media
While he didn't know about the mention, he did talk about how, during the 25th anniversary of the original, that they were talks of a revival that didn't pan out and that he would love to revisit the character. Which is refreshing because so many actors try to distance themselves from earlier roles.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Unlike Margot Robbie who appeared last year in the finale of the Australian soap NEIGHBOURS, which she was on from 2008-2011.
youtube
So good on Charlie for always bigging up his time on the series and, in particular working with Aidan Gillen who he reunited with on Guy Ritchie's KING ARTHUR.
Charlie and QAF - ***NSFW bits***
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Never forget when Hunnam dropped out of FIFTY SHADES OF GREY and people speculated that it was due to the nudity and he had to correct the public record real quick.
Tumblr media
Yes, we know, babes.
