Resolving Family Trouble With A Gun. October 5, 2018

This movie might just be a comedy about a pair of onery and old siblings who decide to resort to using guns to intimidate one another in order to get what they want in disposing their inherited real estate.  I think the point of the movie is not so much about violence than about a stubborn refusal to compromise. But still, the poster resorts to the picture of Anjelica Huston using a gun to emphasize the point, emphasizing how people nowadays solve problems  with guns when guns are so accessible.

But, you know that since this is a comedy, the ending will not result in death, but in a big lesson learned by all.

Maximum Impact: Potential For Maximum Violence. September 28, 2018

This is obviously slapped together quickly to take advantage of the fans of violence, sexy Asian girl and Kung Fu taking place in Russia. So Russian spies are probably involved too. Looks like it aims to promise a mish mash of gratuitous sex, bad men, a heist, lots of gun violence and  crazy martial arts in the midst.

Exporting Gun Violence To Foreign Movies.: September 7, 2018

While this week there doesn't seem to be any domestic U.S. release of new movies featuring posters with gun, it was not the case for foreign movies that came out.

Five Fingers For Marseilles, a South African film that showed to critical success at international film festivals in London, Palm Springs, Toronto and Korea. The story about violence in modern day  South Africa seems somewhat interesting, but it's hard to say whether I'll ever go see it.  It sounds like using guns and violence to entice a new generation of movie goers from an African country to see movies based on violence and chaos. Thugs shoot thugs movie. We are exporting movies that aggrandize gun violence.

Is there some social commentary about modern day South Africa? Maybe.
