Short weekend of shows but they were important.. First ....

London has Fallen...   thing Olympus has fallen and .. there you go.. Very predictable.. Felt like I wrote it, or I had something to do with the twists and turns in the plot.. It was ok, poor Londoners will have to rebuild their city, but then they will be at the international Home Depot fighting over the toilet fixtures.. UNHAND THAT FLUSH STOP VALVE YOU.. RAPSCALLION..

 The Last Survivors..  Kinda a movie set in the very not too distant future where a guy tries to corner the water market in his valley of the world..  Kinda like..  road warriors feel but you know.. Fairly easy to watch be predictable.. 

White Helmets is a quick doc about the people in Syria who help people who get buried by rubble from the Russians bombing them..   Very good but sad and it has no English dub track, so you pick the sound which I kept as the language it was done in and then English subtitles to read.. Yippee but still worth a quick read...  It was a short movie.. 

That brings us to the final movie.. Extremis ...  Basically it is about the end..  The end of life itself and how we deal with it.. Very moving and really hard to get although to be honest when you have fought the good fight to stay alive at the end, at a certain age people just seem to know it's time to give up..  I remember that being with my dad, he got a very serious infection and was in the fight of his life..  He died of an infection and doctor incompetence.. Basically he was in the hospital for the infection and then they wanted to put in a stint because they said he had a heart attack.. It was a serious case of the doctors for the heart not knowing he  was in there for an infection.. And this is what I keep saying that the doctor on that very first day told us he would be lucky to walk out of that hospital and so explain to me why the next day he was sitting up and eating and seemed fine.. Why was it so god damn important to do the stint the following Monday if the infection was that deadly..  Why we didn't sue for their incompetence is beyond me...
