Thunderbolts* - Finally An Entertaining, Fun and Lighthearted Movie on Marvel Cinematic Universe Group of Antiheroes

My wife and I originally intended to see this movie during the weekend. However on a last minute change of plan, we decided to see it yesterday noon on the public holiday. So we went to one of our favorite cinema with Dolby Atmos sound system that I like when seeing a blockbuster movie and saw this in a two third fully booked studio. Without further ado, here's more on the movie.

Brief Story Line

Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh - Dune: Part TwoDon't Worry Darling etc) had been doing various special operations for Director of CIA Valentina de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus - Onward, Veep TV series etc) but feeling unhappy with her life and dirty job. During her supposed last assignment, Yelena met with others like her who also handled same kind of ops, such as John Walker aka U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell - Monarch: Legacy of Monsters TV series, The Woman in the Window etc), Ava Starr aka Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen - Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, Killjoys TV series etc) and Antonia Dreykov/Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko - SentinelleTreason mini series etc). When they realized something was wrong, together with the mysterious Bob (Lewis Pullman - Top Gun: Maverick, Salem's Lot 2024 version etc), all hesitantly had to work together to escape.

Ash - An Uninteresting Space Sci-Fi Horror Movie

This movie was released on Prime Video last week but as I was busy with work and finishing other series, I only got the chance to watch it last night. I was interested as its trailer and premise looked good. All right then, I'll get straight to it.

Brief Story Line

Riya (Eiza González - 3 Body Problem TV series, I Care A Lot etc) was an astronaut who woke up in a distant planet with no memory of herself and what happened to her. As she moved around the place she was stranded, Riya had glimpses of horrific images in her head and started to remember other crew members like Kevin (Beulah Koale - Next Goal Wins, Hawaii Five-O TV series etc), Clarke (Kate Elliott -  The Cult TV series etc), Adhi (Iko Uwais - Expend4blesStuber etc) and Davis (rapper/DJ Flying Lotus).

The Accountant 2 - A Long Awaited Sequel to the Entertaining Original 2016 Movie

After we saw the first of our movie marathon day, we had extra time of around 1 hour before the second one started which I used to write a post about another movie I saw the night earlier. Anyway, the film we were about to see was a sequel that I was quite looking forward to as I remembered liking the original many years ago. OK, let's just get started with it then.

Brief Story Line

Eight years after the events of the first movie, Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck - HypnoticThe Last Duel etc) was still working as the Accountant and providing various advices for the underworld while trying to be as normal as he could be. But when he was approached by Deputy Director of Treasury Department, Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson - The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power TV series, The People We Hate at the Wedding etc) who was investigating the case that her former boss Raymond King (J. K. Simmons - Juror #2Red One etc) was personally looking into, Chris decided to help her.
