I went to see these movies yesterday, July 27th, 2022, at the Century 16 Hilltop in Richmond, CA, for these shows:
1:30 p.m. = THE GRAY MAN; Auditorium 10, C-9
4:10 p.m. = SHAMSHERA; Auditorium 15, B-6
9:00 p.m. = PADMA SHRI KAUR SINGH = Auditorium 11, B-7
The price of admission for each movie was $6.25 ( Bargain Tuesday ). I bought a medium Buttered Popcorn and a 20 oz. Dasani Water for a total of $12.25 (?--I didn't ask for a receipt ).

THE GRAY MAN is a Spy/Action movie. It's actually quite good. I would say that it's better than the recent installment of, JOHN WICK. I don't know why it only has a limited one-week engagement, and released in just a few theaters, on top of that. The Century 16 Hilltop IS The Only Theatre Near Me That's Showing This!

SHAMSHERA is about outcasts that got betrayed by a white general and are forced into a life of slavery. The legendary leader of this caste is Shamshera. He is killed trying to free his people. His son Balli, takes up his cause. In a plot twist, not all of the Imperial British Soldiers are bad guys. This is a big-budget movie that has yet to see a return on its investment.

PADMA SHRI KAUR SINGH is based on the true story of India's famous heavyweight boxer who won 11 gold 🥇 medals 🏅. But was later cheated by his own government of his well-deserved prize money. In over 38 years, he still has to collect what the government owes him, or his family, as he is now in poor health. I hope that this movie will bring attention to his plight and make the government give him, or his family, what is rightfully owed to him.
I didn't know that Kaur Singh had an exhibition match against Muhammad Ali. It was a mismatch. Ali, a professional boxing champion, completely dominated Singh, an amateur boxing champion.
This KAUR SINGH movie spends more time on his love for the beautiful village girl ( about 1 hour and 15 minutes ) than it does for the boxing matches. And it shows! The fights are so poorly choreographed.
TIDBITS:
The 1st thing that I did was to head on over to the Vallejo City branch of the DMV. I applied for a REAL ID ( whatever that means ) over 3 weeks ago but had yet to receive an appointment schedule to appear in person. All of this time, I had been driving around on an expired driver's license 🤞😎 because my heart surgeon banned me from driving for 6 weeks after my surgery. I thought that starting the renewal application process on-line would speed things up. But I guess the DMV really is that slow; I think that it's in a competition with the postal service to see who's slower. 🐢 🐌 🦥 I was issued a temporary driving certificate and was told that I'll receive my new driver's license in the mail 📬 in about 3 weeks. We'll see how that goes.

After I got home from the DMV, I decided to have my morning walk--heart surgeon's order.

This photo of a street corner of where I usually do my crosswalk whenever I would go for my morning & evening walks is where I almost got ran-over by a blm woman driver on Monday evening who didn't bother to stop at the stop sign 🛑! Here in the sanctuary city of Vallejo, blm assholes and illegal aliens don't drive safely! They don't even stop at stop signs. They go faster than the posted speed limits. And they cut you off for driving within the posted speed limits. And I bet that they don't even have car insurance!

Then, I took my Blood Glucose reading. As well as my Blood Pressure readings ( S = 107, D = 78, PR = 91---these would have been lower readings if I wasn't pressed for time ) before I drove to the Century 16 Hilltop Cinemas in Richmond, CA.

In-between the SHAMSHERA and the PADMA SHRI KAUR SINGH movies, I had plenty of time to log in more steps. I used that 2-hour time period to walk around the theatre's parking lot and to walk to the adjoining shopping center to browse around and buy some stuff at the 99-Cents Only Store. By the end of the day, I had walked over 14,000 steps:

FYI: I always thought that there were 5 Castes in India. But there are thousands!!! 😲 I thought wrong, apparently:
