  "It's a dialogue that tries to put into perspective what we go through, juxtaposed to where we are and the positions that we're in, the decisions we have to make because of who we are, and weighing the consequences of compromising who we are so that we can navigate through this world, through this life, through society. It's a very powerful movie as well."

  "You can tell that they spent a lot of time and effort getting the CGI absolutely perfect in this movie, making it look as real as it could. But as I watched the movie and I marveled at how good the CGI looked, it was me acknowledging, okay, this isn't real. And it was distracting. I don't know if that makes any sense, but it was distracting to me how good the CGI was."

  "The movie that the trailers present to you is not the movie that is on screen, is a much quieter movie than what the trailers lead on. With that said, though, the story is pretty good. I think that they had an opportunity with some of the twists in the movie to take it further. But I really think that they wanted to focus this story on the protagonist and what he was going through that led him to make the decision to go after these men who murdered his wife."

  "Yeah, this movie was my introduction to Val Kilmer, and it was a great movie, a great experience, and just a window into what was coming as far as his acting ability and his entertainment value that he had. So I just wanted to take a minute to talk about that movie. In particular, I think I might do a few more of these throughout the month just to highlight some of the acting performances of his that I do remember and come to mind whenever I think of Val Kilmer."

  "And he notices and begins to draw what looks like him with his Muse mask on. Then Heather sees it and then puts it together. 100%. Oh, this is Muse, and I'm in danger. Well, he attacks her, tries to open up her arm. He actually slices her arm open. And he lays out this canvas where he is about to create his last piece, essentially."

  "I like to see Jason Statham punching people. I like to see good guys fighting bad guys. I mean, it's not a complex story. It's not anything that's thought provoking. I'm not looking to have any kind of epiphanies while watching these kinds of movies. So the movie, this one in particular, it isn't bad. I enjoyed it. Again, it's the typical Jason Statham movie."

  "I am just getting home. This movie is very good. It's funny, it's drama filled. It's got some biting satire in it. But the satire isn't the point of the story. In fact, the first scene of the movie is the entire point of the story. And that's what gets fleshed out throughout the movie and everything else. As far as the satirical elements of it."
