TIGER 3

Tiger is set up by the bad guys in a plot to replace the Pakistani Prime Minister who offers India a conciliatory gesture. He is in a desperate bid to clear up his name & reputation and bring the bad guys to justice. 

NR, 2h & 30m
-

I went to see this movie on Tuesday, November 14th, 2023, here at the Century 14, in Vallejo, CA, an All Day Bargain Tuesday. The price of admission was $6.25. And this Tuesday also happens to be the last day of the 5-day Diwali ( Festival of Lights ) celebration.

-

Auditorium 10, B-7
-

There are plot twists to keep you guessing. I like 2 fight scenes in particular. The one on the bridge where Tiger teams up with Pathaan. And the fight scene in the spa between Zoya and the female Chinese baddy.


-
The fight scene above is, I think, a Bollywood version of a Chinese Kung Fu(?) movie from years ago, if I remember correctly. And it also brings to mind the Viggo Mortensen movie, EASTERN PROMISES ( 2007 ), with its sauna fight scene. Which fight scene you prefer is entirely up to your gender predilection or prurient interest. 😉  But, I must confess, the fight scene Editor of this movie has hands faster than my eyes!  😜 If this were a Whollyweird movie, some parts of this Action Sequence would have been in Slow Motion!  😍

➡️ Why Bollywood should hire my services:

For a small family of 3, that sure is a Bigly breakfast spread! The knife swings are too wide and could easily have been countered.There are scenes wherein bullets could have ricochetted all over the place!  There are scenes wherein Tiger and Pathaan just shoot at the bad guys using just one hand but their rifles are not recoiling at all. Are those recoilless rifles chambered in .22 caliber rounds?!?!?! When they infiltrate the diplomatic venue, the truck that they are hiding in have wooden(?) slats on either side that are about an inch ( 2.54 cm ) apart. That should be enough space to see the outline of the 2 humans hiding in the truck; AND THERE ARE MANY ARMED SOLDIERS AT EITHER SIDE, FACING THE TRUCK 🚛 AS IT DRIVES BY, THAT COULD EASILY DO SO! Those bombs stuck on to the vases Are Not IEDs! They're too sophisticated-looking to fit the description of an IED. What Tiger makes to escape from the jail ( a C-4 type of explosive ) fits the description of an IED❗ Why did not the bad guys pat-down their just-captured victim to make sure that he wasn't wearing a bomb vest? 🤷‍♂️  Zoya does the horizontal twirling to shoot at the bad guys while the bad guy that she perches on is ACTUALLY propping up her butt! 😁 When the general is hoisted up by his ankle, he doesn't say a word. I believed that he was already dead at that point but No ....  😕  When Tiger slides down the floor, why can't the bad guy hit him with rounds from his automatic rifle!  🤦‍♂️ And the ending should have the bad guys doing a Bollywood song & dance scene along with the good guys. 😁

Bonus Scene during the Ending Credits: Hrithik Roshan makes a cameo appearance. 🙂 It's for an upcoming sequel.

Will this conflict be used for a future TIGER sequel?

Terrorizing and attacking
innocent Diwali celebrants
is not a good way to bring
attention to one's cause!

TIDBITS: Between this movie and the JOURNEY TO BETHLEHEM movie, I met Claudio, a theatre employee, in the hallway. He said that he tried getting to my movie blogsite but couldn't, that he had to be a member to access the site. I told him that I don't require a membership to access my site, that it was probably one of those copycat sites that he landed on. So, I asked to borrow his cellphone 📱 so that I could search my site on his 📱. I was able to get to my site; yes, he landed on a copycat site that is capitalizing on the popularity of my own blogsite. 😕 By the way, Claudio looks like a skinny Jason Momoa. 😀

There were more people in the audience who came to watch this movie than for the JOURNEY TO BETHLEHEM movie, by way more! 🥤🙂🍿

For this movie, I ate a bag of salted Pumpkin Seeds mixed with unsalted Sunflower Seeds and a Hungry Buddha Lemon/Blueberry Keto Bar

-

for their Potassium and Magnesium contents to counter the Sodium content of the buffet lunch that I had earlier. And I washed it down with my 20 oz ( 591 ml ) bottled Dasani Water mixed with a single stick of Sonic Cherry/Limeade Zero Sugar Drink Mix.

-

Here are the 2 Indian Herbal Toothpastes that I like and can swear by:

-

-

P. S. On the Dant Kanti toothpaste, be sure to only get the 200g size. The smaller size isn't really "herbal". And, the slightly more expensive Vicco has more herbs than Dant Kanti has. But I'm using Dant Kanti as a matter of preference. 

-

JOURNEY TO BETHLEHEM

I went to see this movie here at the Century 14 in Vallejo, CA, today, Tuesday, November 14th, 2023, an All Day Bargain Tuesday. The price of admission was $6.50. 


PG, 1h & 38m

-

Auditorium 12, B-6

-

This is a musical interpretation of the events leading up to the birth of Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in the town of Bethlehem. 

FYI, His Apostles and Disciples addressed Him by His Hebrew/Aramaic name of Yeshua. Remember the prayer that He taught them, The Lord's Prayer. Which starts this way, "Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy 👉WILL👈 be done on Earth as it is in Heaven." All of the spirits, both good & bad, know The Son by His God-given Name! To put it in another way, if a highly respected and powerful foreign dignitary were to introduce you to his first born son, would you insult such a dignitary by greeting his son like this, " Wassup, Homey?" Or, "How ya doin', Sonny?" Or, "Nice to finally meet you, Junior!" et cetera .... It's why I address Him in my  prayers & supplications by His proper Name of Yeshua and by His proper Title of Ha'Mashiach because that is what God, The Father in Heaven, wants His own Son to be addressed by! And I'm not about to disrespect The One who saved me, through His Grace, from dying or getting killed many times, by calling His only begotten Son by any other name and/or title! Far Be It from Me❗

Back then, flirting with a betrothed girl was a big No-No!☝️ The Mosaic Law would have you killed for doing such a thing Because It Actually Breaks All 10 of The Commandments, if you really think about it. 🤔

As to the question of when Yeshua Ha'Mashiach was actually born, it was either on the 1st of Nisan in early Spring or on the 15th of Tishri in the Autumn season.

-

The 15th of Tishri is the stronger argument because Sukkot was when God tabernacled with Moses and the Israelites during the time in the desert 🏜️. And what better time for His Only Begotten Son to dwell among us mortals, too, in the New Covenant! But I must caution you that the Book of Numbers strictly forbids giving importance to certain numbers❗

I don't like this movie. The 3 Magis are more like the 3 Stooges; which is sacreligious, in a sense! The Magis learned to discern the stars' symbolisms from the Persian Order of Wise Men who were supposedly taught by the Prophet Daniel, himself.

Poor people back in Biblical times really didn't have such an extensive set of wardrobes! In fact, you probably have more clothes now than King Herod ever had back then ❗They pretty much wore the same clothes day in and day out until they outgrew them or their clothes became unrepairable. And you had better not be the youngest among your many siblings or you'd get an intimate understanding of what it truly was to be given hand-me-downs! ( Except in the case of Joseph whose older brothers were really pissed off at him because they couldn't get a "hand-me-up". What was Jacob even thinking?!?!?!  🤦‍♂️ )

-

Bear in mind that they didn't really wash their clothes that often back then! 🤢 The Butternut Squash hadn't arrived in Israel yet:

-

I didn't know that King Herod had female bodyguards, a la Muammar Gaddafi! 🤷‍♂️ 

The actress who plays the role of Mary, i.e. Mayriam, is too old for the part! Back then, girls were married off at 12 years of age or younger. Twenty four years ago, I came across a Hebrew Encyclopedia at the Benicia, CA, library that states that girls were indeed married off that young. In fact, they even have a word for a girl who was married off after she had her 1st period and another word for a girl who was married off BEFORE she started having her period! Unfortunately, I didn't think much of it back then and never wrote the Hebrew words down for future reference!  😕 It's speculated that Mary, or Mayriam, was of the latter kind. Understand that back then people had shorter lifespans and had to procreate sooner than later. Which of course, Joseph, i.e. Yosef, the contrarian that he was, did so at a later age, according to tradition. That's why the last mention of him in The Gospels was when Yeshua was around 12 years of age. And speaking of Mayriam, when the Angel Gabriel was with her, as she covered her face with the blanket, she actually exclaimed, "What the F()€K!" Or something that sounds ( Almost ) EXACTLY like it❗Mary, Mary, quite contrary ....  🤪😆😂🤣

TIDBITS: I ate at Selecta Pilipino Buffet Restaurant before going to see this movie. I bought some lottery tickets, too. 

When I arrived at the theatre, the box office attendant was Mayliah, who I hadn't seen in quite a while. I gave her one of my cine-man cards so that she could check out my movie blogsite.

I ate too much and 😴 dozed 💤 off 😪 a few times while watching this movie. But I don't think that I missed much ....

THE PERSIAN VERSION/THE MARSH KING'S DAUGHTER/RADICAL

I went to see these 3 movies today, Tuesday, November 7th, 2023, at the Regal Edwards Fairfield & I-Max to take advantage of the $5.00 Ticket & the $5.05 Large Popcorn All Day Bargain Tuesday. 

1st Movie:

R, 1h & 47 m

Auditorium 10, B-9

This movie is about 3 generations of Iranian women, a grandmother, mother and daughter. The grandmother's observation is that both of her daughter and granddaughter are stubbornly alike even though they are born and raised in 2 different countries yet somehow live parallel lives. As the family reunites for the father's eve of surgery and the 2nd son's upcoming wedding, secrets are revealed and relationships are healed. Based on a real family's experience.

It's an enjoyable movie to watch. The Bollywood style song & dance ending does explain the title of this movie. 

But there are a few things that glared at me. Why was the mother still using a paring knife 🔪 to peel potatoes 🥔? After all, there's a tool specifically invented for that purpose, the Potato Peeler. Why would she even consider selling his medical practice to pay for her husband's hospital bill? When doctors with private practices get too sick to work at their clinics, they have simi-retired doctors fill-in for them, which is a usual practice. The janitor should have known better to use floor signs while cleaning the floor during business hours. She was trained to use a hypodermic needle on patients but I don't see her applying alcohol to the Injection Site. I don't think that it was a good idea to have the new baby's father cut the Umbilical Cord, being that the USA is a Lawsuit-Happy country. And is a crowd even allowed inside of the Obstetrics Room to watch the delivery in the 1st place? The baby used in the hospital scene is a little, itsy-bitsy too old for the role of a newborn.

There are actually newborn baby dolls offered for sale to USA buyers by my friend, Soberund Goode @

 www.soberundgoodes.com 

WHICH LOOK SO REALISTICALLY AUTHENTIC ❗😲❗And they look so disturbingly real that one can't help but wonder if newborns and toddlers are being sold on the black market. 

TIDBITS:

They have their own version of Saint Christopher, the Patron Saint of Travellers:

I had a college classmate, an Iranian Jew, who looks like the village nurse. She and I had a platonic relationship and spent quite some time in each other's company. 

At the same time, I had another Iranian classmate who preferred to be called a Persian. She had fair skin compared to the other classmate; and she also was more lightly complected than the 2 main actresses in this movie. She was stunningly beautiful. And did she ever have The Most Beautiful Eyes! 😀 The funny thing was that she would almost always have sunglasses on. I told her that she shouldn't hide her eyes because they're so beautiful. But I learned later that, in some Middle Eastern cultures, it's a custom for both men & women not to show their eyes to strangers. She even wore sunglasses at night! 😂  Some years later, while in San Francisco, I saw another beautiful Middle Eastern girl with the same eyes as hers. She might have been the younger sister of my Persian classmate. Anyway, back to my Persian classmate. She's the only Moslem who I met that eats Pork!  😲 One day I dreamed about her coming up to me to hand me a piglet in each of her hands. She asked her mom about it because her mother knows about dream interpretation. She told me that according to her mom, she'll give me something that I won't appreciate and another thing that I WILL Appreciate. The first interpretation actually came true; But I'll Be Damned If I Let The 2nd Interpretation ( about appreciating something ) come true---It's too late for that now, anyway ( it has been 37 long years since )! She belongs in my Past. She has no place in my Present. Nor will she ever have a place in my Future. She should just remain in my Past where she is most welcome to stay❗ Because, unfortunately, she became westernized in a Bad Way, chasing after some Whollyweird dream. 👎 She never made it to the Big Screen; at least, not that I know of. More than likely though, she made it to some producer's, director's and/or a "talent" agent's "casting couch." 😒 Remember what I said about westernized girls in my blog on VIDEO CITY: BE KIND, PLEASE REWIND ( the 6th post preceding this ). I did mention her previously in one of my blogs. You just have to use my site's search engine to find out about madonna's bad influence on 2 girls that I personally know! 

Iran has one of the fastest growing underground Christian Movements in the 🌍 World 🌎! And at great risk for their own lives, they show their support of Israel, instead of hamas or palestine. May God bless them and keep them safe!

I rewatched this video today, Sunday, November 19th, 2023, when at around 3:42:00 a.m. my cellphone 📱 just turned itself off 📴! And it turned itself off at ~ the 00:18:00 mark! You will know why when you watch the video for yourself.


Heart Surgery can kill you either through the surgery, itself, or through the medications that they prescribed you post surgery. In my surgery, they used my Leg Vein as a graft to bypass the blocked Coronary Arteries. But I later learned from an on-line doctor that Veins WERE NEVER DESIGNED TO SUBSTITUTE FOR Arteries ❗At best, they can last up to 20 years and, at worst, they can only last a few hours! But that the Internal Mammary Artery makes THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE FOR Coronary Artery because it can last the whole lifetime of the patient. As for the medications, they destroy your Liver and Kidneys AND progressively weaken your Brain, Heart, Liver & Lungs, which lead to Organ Failure! Which is probably the reason why they don't really care that much about Heart Bypass Surgery patients since their health prognosis is not very promising in the long term!! Also, any Open Heart Surgery Will Either Injure or Damage The Thymus Gland!!! If your body is unable to repair the injured Thymus Gland, you may die of Cancer in about 5 years' time❗😡❗I will need to have my grafted Leg Vein replaced with my Internal Mammary Artery someday, hopefully.  🤞

If you've had Open Heart Surgery or are told that you'll be needing one, and especially if you have weak Veins, please obtain a copy of Dr. Stephen Sinatra's book, METABOLIC CARDIOLOGY. In it, Dr. Sinatra reveals his 4 recommended supplements for Heart Health which I do take and swear by. But I'm not an MD and cannot make specific medical recommendations and neither am I a Nutritionist nor a Dietitian. Also, find a doctor that isn't a member of the AMA ( American Medical Association ) but, rather, one who's a member of the AAFP ( American Academy of Family Physicians ). If you're from another country, find a doctor whose medical approach is Holistic, rather than strictly Pharmaceutical. Your body will thank you for your Proactive choice 👌❗👍

Now that they have a pig/human hybrid Heart available for transplants, I'm curious as to what the Jews and Moslems' position are on it. 😕 And how about the Vegetarians and Vegans' position on it?  🤷‍♂️

Back in the Summer of 2020, I got friction burn on my Right Testicle from riding on my exercise bike. And it became badly infected. When one of my co-workers asked me how it felt like, I told him to imagine getting kicked in the 🏀 ⚽! But the pain doesn't go away; instead, it gets more painful 😖 with each passing day ❗I finally couldn't stand the pain any longer so I went to the emergency ward of the local hospital 🏥. The nurse looked at it before sending in the female emergency room doctor. Then another nurse took a look at it and drew some blood samples. 

I was wheeled to another room where a beautiful female tech did a Sonogram on my 🏀 ⚽. She applied that cold gel LIBERALLY all over my privates! Then she did the Sonogram. I Could Hear My Heartbeat 💓 Coming From My Own 🏀⚽❗ Now, whether or not it simply was because of a beautiful, young & sexy female stranger giving my Family Jewels her undivided attention for at least 30 minutes, I don't know. But I had to suppress my laughter even through all of that pain. So, I just closed my eyes since I also hadn't had any sleep 😴 in about a week's time because of the intense pain. Noticing the smile on my face, the Sonogram Tech asked me if I was okay ( that probably was her way of asking me if I was PERVERSELY enjoying the treatment ). I said, Yes.

😘

-


Just like in this illustration in which the

little guy is definitely "awake"! 😉

-

After the test, she left the room to give me some time to wipe my privates dry. Hey, whatever happened to, "Clean up your own mess!"❓ 🤷‍♂️ I hate being forced to clean up after somebody❗🤪  If not for the pain that I was having, the whole experience could have easily been something that one would expect to happen during a visit to a seedy "massage" 😉 parlor 😜 ❗🤫🤫🤫

An orderly wheeled me back to my emergency room. The Female doctor told me that I had Epididymitis. She said that she'd have to wait for my Primary Care Physician to get back to her before they can do surgery on me. In the meantime, she told me to wear tight briefs 🩲 to help ease the pain. And to get some jockstraps.

-

A week later, my PCP told me that he was referring me to a Urologist. I had to endure more pain. 😣

A week after that, I got a call from the Urologist. She asked me how I was doing. I told her that the infection had just burst prior to her call and that I had a bloody discharge of Puss! She told me to come quickly so that she could do an emergency surgery on me❗

I was worried that this was what

would burst out of me because

it looks like an Epididymis with

arms & legs! 😬

-

WTF❗😲❗😠❗ That's what I wanted done in the 1st Place 3 Weeks Prior ❗😠❗😡❗🤬❗

Weeks later, I got the hospital bill. My out-of-pocket expense was for the exact amount of $1,000.05! That worked out to a total of $200.01 per female's "touchy-feely" of my privates! Heck, you'd think that I should have been the one to charge each one of them that amount for such a privilege!! I REALLY NEED TO WORK ON MY GIGOLO WAYS!!!  😏

The Urologist sent me home with a care kit. I had to use a pointed twizzer to insert a new strip of medicated gauze inside the hole in my right Nut Sack once each day. I would first take a prescription strength Pain Killer and wait at least 30 minutes before I'd change the gauze. Otherwise, it would be too painful and my hands too unsteady for me to apply the new gauze. And I also had to resort to wearing Feminine Napkin. I guess that liberals are "right"  about men being able to menstruate--it must be why the 1st syllable is "men-"! 😂 You know what moms say about always putting on a clean underwear before going out just in case you get in an accident and have to be rushed to the hospital. Well, I had every excuse not to get in an accident because of the Feminine Napkin that I had to wear! 🤣🤣🤣

If you believe in Karma, I probably kicked 🦵 some unlucky guy in the 🌰🥜 REALLY HARD in a Past Life and this is Karma's way to even the score❗😣❗More than likely though, it was probably 3 or more guys that were on the receiving end of my kicks❗😖❗😖❗

2nd Movie:

R, 1h & 48m
 Auditorium 3, B-9

An Off-Gridder teaches his daughter how to hunt and survive in the wilderness of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Years later, she returns to the wilderness to hunt down her own father.

The things that I found wrong are these:

In a Recollection Scene, the director opted for a fuzzy scene reminiscent of pictures that you'd only expect to find in any Penthouse Pet Centerfold pictorial. 😏 She, who was trained to hunt, should have been smart enough to ignore the whistle sound which was clearly meant to flush her out from among the crowd. And if the ATV rider and the sheriff could get to the cabin by using a vehicle, why did she have to use a canoe 🛶 to get there from a longer distance when she could just have used a quiet electric mountain bike 🚲, instead? 

I never knew of any such river and marshland in the Upper Peninsula. Otherwise, the forest looks like what I saw in the Upper Peninsula. It was actually filmed in New York, if I remember correctly. 

-

3rd Movie:

PG-13, 2h & 2m

Auditorium 2, C-9

A teacher volunteers himself to teach at a dangerous border town primary school for the underprivileged children. Based on a True Story.

Yes, I would have to agree that if you can't afford to have another child, then DON'T! To be clear, I'm not advocating for Abortion or Infanticide. You can practice Abstinence, use a Contraceptive or offer up your infant for Adoption. 

According to THE PERSIAN VERSION, if a pregnant woman is carrying the unborn baby high, it will be a girl. But a girl's mother in this movie, who carried her unborn baby high, ended-up having a boy!  🤦‍♂️ Sorry, my pregnant belly identified it as a girl?  🤷‍♂️

Is it just me or are movies now using my type of watch as a prop? The radical teacher's watch is the same style as mine. Yes, I'm a radical myself but not in this sense. 🙂

I like this inspirational movie. It reminds me of the movie, STAND AND DELIVER ( 1988 ), which is also based on a true story.

TIDBITS:

I tried something new to use on my Buttered Popcorn 🍿: Klim Kinder 1+ powdered milk!

It's not just for Toddlers anymore. It's also
for Seniors going through their 2nd
Childhood! 👴🏼🧓🏼

It's also good for use on popcorn❗ Its sweetness cuts down the saltiness of the popcorn. I washed it down with my Aquafina bottled water mixed with Wyler's Light Island Punch Fruity Red Punch powdered drink mix. 👍 I also snuck-in a power 💪bar and some peanuts and almonds to counter the popcorn's Sodium content and to increase my Protein consumption. 👌

SKYFIRE

I watched this on my futon today, Monday, November 6th, 2023, via my TUBI Streaming app.


 NR, 1h 33 m

-

An entrepreneur capitalizes on people's need for thrills. He goes on to build the world's first Active Volcano 🌋 theme park for daring thrill seekers. What do you expect will happen soon? Talk about Disaster Movies! This is it. 👍🏼

-

It's a good movie for popcorn 🍿. But don't be surprised if you forget that you have a tub of buttered popcorn with you as this movie pretty much cuts to the chase for an edge-of-your-seat thrill ride! Of course, it stretches the "Believability Factor."  🤓

The leading lady says, "You cannot outrun a 400 mph ( 644 kph ) cloud of ash." What I learned in Geology is that such a cloud of ash, i.e. Nuee Ardante, travels at 90 mph (145 kph ). This 400 mph speed is a new one on me. 😕 But when someone radioed her that something large was traveling fast behind their SUV, she orders the driver to stop. 🤦🏻‍♂️  When they survey a particular area and open the SUV's windows, not one of them is overcome by the ash cloud. 🤷🏽‍♂️  I've actually stood just a yard/meter away from molten metal several times so I know that being surrounded by all of that molten Lava should have toasted them all ( Hint: It has to do with a body's surface area ). From Molten Lava to Scaldingly HOT Steam---Yup, those villagers are doomed either way! ( Would you like your human Steamed or Deep Fried? ) When the professor jumps down into a Lava Tube, why doesn't the Volcanic Ash cover-up the tube? Instead, the professor's POV shows a clear sky with no ash blocking the view.  🌞  Understand that a Nuee Ardante, i.e. cloud of ash, can be 👉WAY👈 over a mile ( 1.6 kilometers ) in length! I don't know what the distance is between the Crater and the Lava Tube but the daylight should have been obscured by the ash for At Least a minute to 1½ minutes, conservatively speaking! 

FYI: A Nuee Ardante travels on a cushion of very hot, toxic gas whether it's at 90 mph or even at 400 mph, which this movie suggests. In other words, before it even reaches you, the hot, toxic gas will have already toppled you down to the ground. I guess that nobody told those 2 geologists about it.  😁 And Molten Lava should have ignited those trees to either side of the flow. 😒

But, as I said previously, this is a 🥤🙂🍿 movie. And should be enjoyed as such! And It Helps A LOT That The Women In This Movie Are Beautiful! 😍

Fun Facts: When Mt. Saint Helens erupted in 1980, a lot of trees were pushed into the lake by Volcanic Ash. And it questioned some long-held beliefs in Geology. Geological Soil Layering can and do take place in a day instead of in millions of years. The acidic ash that buried the trees in the lake turned the trees into Crude Oil 🛢️ after just a few dozen years instead of in millions of years. Yes, Organic Matter Is Constantly Being Turned Into Oil EVERYDAY for millions of years before Crude Oil was even turned into Gasoline in the 1800s. So, there's plenty of Crude Oil in Nature❗ And it's not "fossil fuel," a term coined by J. D. Rockefellerr to jack-up the price of the " UN-renewable" source of energy! But I bet you that "climate change" expert  🙄 Greta DUNDERHEAD is keeping mum on the subject while lots of European households are without adequate heating this Winter! 😠👎 

Pres. Trump did try to warn the European nations that jumping onto the "climate change" bandwagon wasn't going to end well for them. They just laughed at him. Unfortunately, he was right all along! 

Also, Mt. Saint Helens is a hotbed for 👹 paranormal 👽 activity. In fact, after the eruption, the US government surveyed the area in search of a particular species among the 7,000 + dead, large "crispy critters." And, supposedly, they stumbled upon the remains of Bigfoot❗😧❗

INSPECTOR SUN/FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S/

Today, Tuesday, October 31st 🎃, 2023, I went to Regal Edwards' Fairfield & I-Max, in Fairfield, CA, to see 4 movies. The price of admission for each one is $5.00, since it's Bargain Tuesday All Day. I also bought a big tub of $5.oo Popcorn 🍿.  

NOTE: The seats' assignments don't correspond to the seats which I reserved because they changed the auditoriums without updating the specifics of each one! 

1st movie:

PG, 1 hr & 28 min

Auditorium 16, C-10

This is an entertaining movie for kids. The detective is an animated version of Pink Panther's Inspector Clouseau and Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot. A homage, perhaps, to 2 of the Big Screen's 3 famous detectives; the 3rd one being Sherlock Holmes ( does Batman count as # 4? 🤔 ). In this whodunnit, someone famous is killed and all eyes are on his new wife, a Black Widow whose 12 previous husbands all died of something or other. And she's the prime suspect. Is it a "Case Closed" investigation or not ....? 

There is a funny scene about the food that they are being served for dinner while on the flight, especially the one being served to the flight captain. 

2nd Movie:

PG-13, 1 hr & 50 min

Auditorium 5, C-11

A security guard is haunted by a recurring dream from a traumatic experience that happened when he was just 12 years of age. A child serial abducter/killer is still on the loose, unbeknownst to the troubled young man who's the sole provider of a young sister who has some learning difficulties. Ghosts start to haunt his dreams and he is more determined to get to the root of it all if it will help him find some closure. 

Here are some things wrong about this movie. Why do the vending machines still have lots of coins in them even though the pizzeria has been closed for many years? Okay, those are prescription sleeping pills; you cannot just walk in to a pharmacy and get refills on it if it isn't yet time for you to get a refill because such a drug is a controlled substance. He could just have gotten some OTC sleeping pills and increased the dosage. 😕  When the pizzeria isn't thoroughly investigated after the break-in, you know that something's not quite right. You would think that the ghosts would be more emphatic .... 

After the movie was over, I asked the clean-up staff when they'll have all 16 auditoriums get seats like auditorium 5's new seats. I was told that they are waiting for corporate to approve them for seat renovations. And one of them told me that the seats are 35 years old ( 25, actually ). I added, I know. I was here the first day when they opened this theatre. But, truth be told, theatres in general are eclipsing. This theatre in particular has 3 Concessions Counters but they're just only using the central one now, and it also doubles as the Box Office, too! This place used to always be packed with movie goers and there would always be long lines to buy tickets on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and on Bargain Tuesdays. I feel that they are past their heyday with many video streaming apps to choose from and "pandemic" mania still wreaking havoc on the economy and on social activities. But drive-in theatres might be coming back .... 🤞🏼

I still remember that particular evening back in 1998 or 1999 when this multiplex theatre had its grand opening. They were showing the latest Star Wars movie. And I still remember the auditorium and the exact seat where I sat! I guess that my brain 🧠 is still good at remembering things ....  👴🏼 🙂

3rd Movie:

R, 1 hr & 49 min

Auditorium 14, B-8

A disillusioned Spec Ops soldier retires to a mundane world of wife, child and profession. But his best friend, who's now doing contract services, talks him into doing a security detail gig for a news reporter. But the assignment leads him to the man that he believes is responsible for the deaths of his comrades. The more time that he spends with his target, the more he realizes that things are not as simple as they seem.

Aside from the countless sprays of bullets that don't seem to hit their targets, the ATS ( or ATG ) missiles that hit the rocky riverbed but don't scatter projectile rocks at the 2 targets, and the time zone anomaly between the US and Paldonia, this movie is enjoyable to watch. It's definitely a "Popcorn 🍿" movie. Which is what I found myself doing as I watched this movie, enjoying my big tub of 🍿!

The Ending Credits has some Bonus Scenes! I laughed at the 5-second rule!! Heck, I wouldn't even do a 1-second rule!!! 🤣🤣🤣

4th Movie:


PG-13, 1hr & 50 min
Auditorium 6, C-10

This movie is a documentary on people who had Near Death Experiences, i.e. NDEs. 

I can relate to the Korean man who tried to kill himself with a knife. About 40 years ago ( in '81 or in '82 ), at a very low point in my life, I had a Chef's Knife 🔪 aimed at my stomach! As I held it, one angry male voice in my head was goading me to end my life! But another male voice told me that only cowards would commit suicide; that I should face head-on the challenges of Life come what may. With tears in my eyes, I dropped the knife onto the kitchen floor.

When I had my Open Heart Triple Bypass ( CABG ) in May of 2022, I was hoping to experience an OOBE ( Out Of Body Experience ). But, no such luck. 👎🏻 My surgery, however, was not without miracles. First off, the Cardiologist found out that I had 3 Coronary Arteries that were 99% blocked EACH❗ People have died of Heart Attacks with lesser blockages❗ A nurse, upon seeing my medical records, was shocked to find out that I walked up and down 2 hills to get to the hospital for my Catheter Angiogram❗ He said that I should have been wheeled-in via an ambulance 🚑! The night before my surgery, I stayed at my sister's place so that she could drive me to the Kaiser Permanente Hospital in San Francisco early the following day for my surgery. I couldn't sleep at all because throughout the night the front doorbell would ring; and with each passing hour, the ringing intervals would get shorter and shorter❗ My sister later told me that the doorbell didn't act-up after that night. When I got out of surgery, I felt no pain at all❗ Unlike my younger brother who had the same surgery done at the same hospital and by the same heart surgeon 2½ years prior to mine! My brother said that he was in so much pain and could barely walk for 3 weeks. But in my case, the physical therapist and the nurses would always remind me to slow down whenever they'd assist me in my walks around the hallways❗ At one point, a nurse asked me how well I could ambulate. I told her that I could tap dance if she wanted me to❗ After 6 days at the hospital, I was released and recuperated at my brother's place. The following day, when he and I walked around his neighborhood, I slipped and fell on the muddy & slippery sidewalk But My Grafted Veins Did Not Detach❗ Too bad because I wanted to sue my brother's irresponsible neighbor for not fixing his sprinkler system! 🤑 When my sister found out about the accident, she wasted no time in calling me on the phone to chew me out! 

I think that God is watching over me. 😇 But for whatever reason, I still don't know .... Only time can tell. I did, however, have a prophetic dream about 20 years ago that may happen in my lifetime, about me and a particular Calling ....  🙏🏻

For Halloween 🎃, I used some Snickers Shakers Seasoning Blend ( that I bought at a Dollar Tree Store ) on my Buttered Popcorn. It was delicious! 👌😋👍 And I used a Wyler's Island Punch Purple 🟣 Berry 🫐 Wave powdered mix in my Aquafina water. Should I try McCormick Bac'n Pieces next time?
