It's rare to see an action film with a female lead. But this is Netflix who can afford to be a little different when they build a movie around a military missile base in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The cast of soldiers and terrorist is small and once you set up a few blast doors behind a computer command center you have a tense stand-off between good and bad with the fate of America at stake. The trailer tells you everything you want to know.
I enjoyed this one for what it was. Elsa Pataky is pretty badass and does some great stunts to make this one work.
So THAT is why he has an uncredited role as a hippy tv salesman who cheers her on. It's a half days shooting for him and I wondered why he put in the effort. Now I get it.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

She's Chris Hemsworth's wife so that may give her some pull with Netflix too.
