That would be seeing "Snow White" again, as my third of the week at AMC, as this musical was on its way off the silver screen.
I'd started this dancing with the Indian fellows in "Good Bad Ugly", which was a lot of fun, especially with Ajith Kumar continually saying "God Bless U", punning on the acronym of the title.
His 53-year-old self has been in more than sixty Tollywood films and I can certainly understand the crowd appeal!
Yes, Shah Rukh Khan, the "King Khan" of Bollywood, is still my main man, but Ajith Kumar is mighty fun, too.
(smile!)
That middle movie was another action-packed film, like the Kumar was, but there was absolutely no dancing in it.
Rami Malek was "The Amateur", a CIA desk jockey spurred into revenge against the man who pulled the trigger on his wife, and he didn't care who he took out along the way.
Laurence Fishburne got to work both sides of the coin, first as the one who trained the novice, then as the assassin sent to stop him.
'Twas really a good crime flick.
The previous two weeks, even with all the SMF36 shifts and other stuff, I still managed to fill five of the six dance slots on my A*list.
Last week I had "A Minecraft Movie" - a farcical piece with Jack Black and Jason Momoa that I might have enjoyed more if I knew anything about the 2011 game - followed by Jason Statham as "A Working Man" out for blood when his boss' daughter gets kidnapped.
Good, dependable, kick-ass flick that was!
Then I took a chance on "Hell Of A Summer", mostly because I like Finn Wolfhard - and, yes, that's got a lot to do with me just liking his name.
(smile!)
The movie was okay, but not quite as fun as "Ready Or Not" or "Heathers" had been.
I guess maybe I would have liked it more if one of the women had been the lead, but, like I said, it was okay.
The younger folks in the audience really liked it.
And that brings us to the first week in April.
Don't believe that dance card, though, as it's wrong.
I really wanted to see "Locked", as it had Bill Skarsgaard inside a car as the only person on screen much of the time.
However, the screening room was on the fritz, so I transferred over for another dose of "Novocaine", as did the other viewers.
Then, for my double header, I watched "L2: Empuraan", aka "L2: E.M.P.U.R.A.A.N.", the second film of a trilogy that got waylaid by the coronavirus.
I guess this one would be termed Mollywood, as its language is Malayalam.
(smile!)
I haven't yet seen anyone use "Mollywood" yet, so I claim creation of it!!!
As for the movie, I think it would have been helpful to have seen "Lucifer", the first one, back in 2019, but possibly not.
There was a lot of political shenanigans, meaning there were many times when there were too many words on the screen to read.
Perhaps I should have treated it like opera and read up on the story and characters beforehand, but I didn't know to do that.
Ah, well!
