Sci-Fi Bri's Movies: "Mama" Rated R

Sci-Fi Bri's Movies:  "Mama"  Rated R

Characters/Actors:  Victoria (?),  Lilly(?), Lucas/Jeffrey (Nikoloj  "Game of Thrones" Coster-Waldou), Annabel (Jessica  "Zero Dark 30"  Chastain), etc.
   
        From the mind of Giolermo  ("Pan's Labyrinth") del Toro, following the murder of their mother by their father, two young girls are left to fend for themselves in the woods. Their only companion is an evil, vengeful, murderous ghost. Five years later, the now feral children are found and raised by their kindly uncle Luke (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and his punk rocker girlfrien, Annabel. Unfortunately, not only do the children have to relearn to speak and socialize, the dangerous, evil ghost has followed them home. This was a weird movie, but it was one of the better horror movies I have seen of late.

Poetry: "Shark Repel"

Poetry:  "Shark Repel"

        Shark repel that cause attack
        Skiing with a broken back
        Gunshot wound, your blood flows black
        Hungry from the food you lack
        For misfortune you have the knack
        Your teeth are rotting, filled with plaque
        You vomit when you have a snack
        Your only home is just a shack
        Your dirty clothes are in a sack
        You just stepped on a rusty tack
        And there is no doubt, your life's off-track.

Sci-Fi Bri's Movies: "Zero Dark Thirty" Rated R

Sci-Fi Bri's Movies:  "Zero Dark Thirty"  Rated R for Violence, Profanity, and Torture Scenes

Dir. Katherine ("The Hurt Locker")  Bigelow

Actors:  Maya (Jessica Chastain), James ("The Soprano's") Gandolfini , etc.

        Taking place in the Middle East, "Zero Dark Thirty" is the true story of how the CIA spent a decade tracking Osama bin Laden, and how at 12:30 a.m.  Pakistani time Last May("Zero Dark 30" in military parlance) a contingent of Navy Seals stormed Osama's hiding place and gave the notorious wealthy terrorist his well-deserved demise. Much of the movie takes place in CIA "black sites" where physical and psychological torture takes place on a daily basis. The torture scenes were difficult to watch, even though those who were terrrorists arguably deserved to be mistreated. Best Actress nominee Jessica Chastain was excellent even though her character condoned the secret torture going on all around her. I predict that Chastain will likely win as Best Actress.

Poetry: "Caught in a Lie"

Poetry:  "Caught in a Lie"

         Caught in a Lie
         I thought I would Die
        Her tears they will Dry
        My friend he will Sigh
        But no lightning bolt from the Sky.

Poetry: "Gladiators of the Ring" A work in progress

Poetry:  "Gladiators of the Ring"  A work in progress

      Gladiators of the Ring
       For 12 rounds they do their thing
       Dancing  'round with padded gloves
       Knock foes out as they remain above... (tbc?)

Poetry: "Everyone's Expendable"

Poetry:  "Everyone's Expendable"

               Everyone's Expendable
               So breakable and bendable
               It's really not commendable
               Our Fates are all so endable...
