Personally speaking, I will be collecting most of these titles in the 88 Asia line, just because I love Shaw Brothers films. While there may be a small audience for these trashy genres, it’s a passionate fanbase. Looking over their film library, it would seem that 88 Films is a company interested in releasing very specific genres, particularly Martial Arts, Horror, and Slasher. One of those UK companies, 88 Films (based in Lutterworth), have dedicated a whole line 88 Asia to important Hong Kong films. companies have long abandoned re-releasing classic Shaw Brothers films in America (nobody will buy these Chinese films here), other countries, such as Hong Kong or the United Kingdom, they are still being re-issued. The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard will be out in theaters on June 16, 2021. If there is one positive I can say about the movie, I laughed so hard when they introduced the Bodyguard’s father. I think if you enjoyed the first film, this is more or less the same film… only they advertised as “bigger, harder, less protection”, indicating that it’s everything you love in the original, only more of it. I was somewhat surprised at how violent the film was (especially for a comedy), so I felt this film really is mean for the adults - not meant for children… and it’s reflected in the films rating of R (for Restrictive). It has some moments, but most of the film’s humor wasn’t for me. I’m also not a huge comedy fan, I have a specific taste, and a film like The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard isn’t my cup of tea. Samuel L is doing that foul mouth thing that made him popular… This all-star sequel also adds Salma Hayek, as the foul mouth Hitman’s wife, and Antonio Banderas as the villain. Ryan Reynolds is doing that Deadpool dumb-thing. Don’t really think too hard about the logic or the ridiculous plot of The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard and you’ll have a good time.
I am hoping it’s just temporary, and am looking forward to a time when you can attend a 100% full theater room without any restrictions.Īs for the movie, I thought it was just a silly Summer film. I know this is a lot of talk about the theater itself, but I felt it was really important to talk about all the changes as a result of the pandemic. I actually really love that empty seat next to me, but I can’t really see this can continue - especially if the theater hope to survive. Seats were grouped by two, with one empty seat on each side. This created a large “wait area”, where customers pooled very closely to each other waiting for their popcorn.Īs for assigned seating, again, this is just at our showing (it could be different at other theaters), they were operating at half-capacity. While this sounds good, especially if it works smoothly… the reality is that there were too many orders happening at the same time that the staffs could not keep up with the orders. Once you pay for it, you’re given an order number, which is fulfilled by the staff behind the counter.
The same for concessions, you’ll have to use a computer screen to order your food and drinks.
For one thing, to buy movie tickets, at least at the ShowPlace ICON, you had to use a display and follow the instructions. Of course, a lot of things have changed, post-pandemic. Personally speaking, I haven’t been to the movie theaters in well over a year, and was just really happy to be out of the house and attending a public showing of a film. We hadn’t seen the first film, but decided to see the sequel, mostly because we wanted the theater-going experience again, now that theaters are opened and operating again.
Sometimes retail discs have different playlists from the rental discs, hence the reference to retail, netflix, redbox, etc.We got a chance to see a sneak preview of Lionsgate’s upcoming action/comedy film The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard on Wednesday, at the ShowPlace ICON theater in St. Makemkv makes the selection for you in most instances if you have java enabled. When users post the playlist for a particular movie that's the one you should select to rip. Among the hundreds of titles, only one has the correct play sequence. Is it a site or just a search for it?įilm companies like Lionsgate utilize playlist obfuscation to hinder the copying of particularly blu-ray discs.
Is this what you all are seeing as well? And if so, you can get around that issue by selecting the correct file like you mentioned above? If so, this is nice.Īlso how do you go about finding which file version is the correct one? I see a mention of Netflix, but the movie is not out on there yet.
