Denzel Fights Back: Why You Should Binge the Equalizer Trilogy This Weekend

 Denzel Fights Back: Why You Should Binge the Equalizer Trilogy This Weekend


Hey movie buffs! Craving some action this weekend but tired of the same old superheroes?

Then look no further than the hidden gem that is the Equalizer trilogy starring the one and only Denzel Washington!

Yes, you read that right. Denzel Washington, the guy who usually delivers Oscar-worthy performances in heart-wrenching dramas, is also a total badass who can kick butt with the best of them. In the Equalizer movies, he plays Robert McCall, a retired vigilante with a mysterious past. Think Batman, but instead of a fancy suit and gadgets, McCall utilizes his quick thinking and everyday hardware store supplies to take down the bad guys.

The first movie is a pure adrenaline rush. We see McCall unleash his impressive fighting skills and resourcefulness, turning wrenches and paint cans into deadly weapons. It's like MacGyver meets John Wick, with a healthy dose of Denzel's signature charm.

The second movie keeps the action going, but the reviews suggest it might be a bit more straightforward. But hey, who can complain about watching Denzel dominate a fight scene, right?

Now, buckle up because here's where things get interesting. The third installment, The Equalizer 3, takes McCall to the beautiful island of Sicily. Not only do we get to enjoy some stunning Mediterranean scenery, but the movie is also praised for its brutal efficiency and gorgeous cinematography. Think Sholay meets a high-fashion photoshoot – seriously, how cool is that?

So, what are you waiting for? If you're looking for an action-packed trilogy with a surprising side of Denzel, the Equalizer is your perfect weekend binge. It's got something for everyone – thrilling fight sequences, a touch of mystery, and a whole lot of Denzel Washington being awesome. Plus, let's be honest, how many times can you say you've seen Denzel take down a villain with a corkscrew? Exactly.

So grab some popcorn, dim the lights, and get ready to be entertained by the Equalizer trilogy. You won't regret it!

Apes Take Over Again: Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Review Yo Apester Fans! Buckle up for a review of the latest flick in the Planet of the Apes franchise, "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes." This series started way back with Charlton Heston in a monkey suit, and this is the fifth movie in the reboot. So, is it bananas or a total snoozefest? Let's break it down. **Mankind: Officially Toast (Except for Maybe Like, Two People) ** Remember Caesar, the super smart chimp who led the apes to freedom? Yeah, dude's dead. The movie picks up way later, with apes ruling the roost and humans devolved into speechless cave dwellers. Think Gollum, but way less interesting. There's basically only two humans left, and they ain't exactly chatty Kathys. Ape Society: From Peace-Lovin' Hippies to Power-Hungry Jerks Caesar's dream of ape harmony went a bit sideways. Apes have split into tribes, and some of them are real jerks. We meet Noa, a young chimp from a peaceful tribe who knows nothing about Caesar. Their whole thing is raising eagles, which is pretty cool. But then BAM! Evil apes attack, kidnap Noa's fam, and leave him stranded. **Noa's Quest: Finding His People and Maybe Learning Some Stuff ** Our boy Noa sets off on a mission to find his peeps. Along the way, he meets a wise old orangutan named Raka who fills him in on the real Caesar. Turns out, Caesar was all about peace, love, and understanding. Not like these power-hungry jerks who are using Caesar's name to justify their bad behavior. Proximus Caesar: Not Your Grandpa's Ape Leader This dude is the leader of the jerk apes. He calls himself Proximus Caesar (eyeroll) and basically brainwashes his followers into thinking they're the superior species. He's got this whole Roman Empire vibe going on, complete with a captive human who tells him stories of Roman history. He's basically like "Yo, we're gonna be the new Rome, but with way more fur!" **History Repeats Itself (Surprise, Surprise) ** This movie is like a history lesson, but way more entertaining (hopefully). The whole plot revolves around how people (or apes in this case) twist the truth to fit their agenda. Proximus Caesar takes Caesar's legacy and turns it into a justification for war. Sound familiar? Is it Deja Vu or Just Another Apes Movie? This is where things get tricky. The movie looks amazing, the acting is solid by both apes and humans (well, the humans who can still talk), and the action sequences are intense. But here's the thing: haven't we seen this story before? Apes vs. humans, good vs. evil, blah blah blah. It's like watching the same play with different costumes (albeit very realistic ape costumes). The Verdict: Apes Still Rule, But the Story Feels a Bit Stale "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" is a good movie, but it's not a groundbreaking one. If you're a die-hard Apes fan, you'll probably dig it. But for casual viewers, it might feel like a retread. Plus, the movie is pretty darn grim. No jokes, no funny apes, just pure seriousness. Maybe next time they can throw in a talking banana or something to lighten the mood. Final Thoughts: If You've Seen One Apes Movie, Have You Seen Them All? This movie is worth a watch if you're into cool CGI and epic battles. But if you're looking for a fresh story with some laughs, you might want to look elsewhere. One thing's for sure: the future ain't looking too bright for humanity (or mute humans who can't fight back).
