Greenland

 


Another end of the world disaster movie is exactly what Greenland is. Maybe this and a film like The Midnight Sky might not be everyone's cup of tea during the pandemic, but for me, I'm good with it. The premise: a comet known as Clarke (maybe a Superman nod) is going to strike Earth and kill us all. The government has selected important people, like structural engineers, to help rebuild society after everything is wiped out. I don't know if you every played that game with friends or maybe just in your own head, who would you need to rebuild society if you could only take a couple of hundred people to rebuild the planet? Gerard Butler would of course be on top of the list! You have seen all this before with films like Armageddon, San Andreas, The Day After Tomorrow, 2012, etc. There are literally dozens of this type of movie. But Greenland is surprisingly good. And the special effects for Clarke - well done special effects people, well done. If you want to forget about the pandemic for a while and get into the death of the planet (mix it up people!) for some action and adventure, then take a trip to Greenland! Catch it on Amazon!

Plane

Welcome to the first film of 2023 which has made the blog cut, because as you know dear reader, only good stuff makes the blog. So, let's get to it. "Plane" starring Gerard Butler. "Greenland," another Gerard Butler action picture landed (see what I did there) on this blog back in 2021. Gerard Butler seems to find himself in first class (wink) action pictures. What's it all about? Yep, you guessed it from the title, it's about a plane. It crashes in a lawless, rebel controlled part of the Philippines (it was actual shot in Puerto Rico), a place where these fiendish bad guys will happily execute missionaries if their hostage demands aren't met. Oh, I forgot to mention there is a prisoner on-board the plane (Mike Colter) and well, he is an ex-military something-or-other, a.k.a. a bad-ass mother-fucker. Between Butler and Colter, they are going to rescue our passengers. Ridiculous, sure. Fun, absolutely. So line up for a flight ticket and strap in for the best action picture of January!
