HEART BREAK HOTEL EPISODE 2



Love is sacrifice, the sacrifice of commitment and loyalty, is a temple built upon trust and faithfulness. When broken can take a life time to repair.

David wakes up in a hotel, sweaty and disoriented, he wonders to himself how he got there. He wipes his face with one hand and tests it on something soft and smooth. He quickly looks to his side and sees Pamela laying naked, her breasts pointed, he watches for a moment as she breaths softly, then his memory comes flashing back. He slept with her.
Without second thought, he quickly dresses as pieces of last night come back to his mind. David and Pamela went from the restaurant to a bar for something stronger, after a few drinks, they landed in a hotel room and had sex, David feels a bit soar, he touches his back and turns it to a mirror. He sees her claw marks on his back. This is wrong,  very wrong. He quickly dresses up and leaves the room without waking Pamela.

He rushes home and showers, as he steps out of the shower, his phone rings. He misses the first call, he picks it up, it's Rachel Nkwo. He puts the phone down and it rings again, this time it's Pamela. He answers and she asks why he left without telling her, and she praises him on his performance in bed. David cringes and declares that it must not happen again. She laughs it off and hangs up the phone promising to see him soon.
2 weeks and 200 missed calls from Pamela and Rachel later, David is living his life, going to work like nothing happened. One day, he comes back home late from work and meets Rachel in front of his house with her bags, smiling like it's Christmas morning. She runs to him and hugs him and says she came over to surprise him and she's back on a 3 month summer break.

David  eases into the idea and they move in to his apartment. After dinner she tells him that they aren't getting any younger and she would like to marry him before her holiday ends, then relocate together to Canada. For a moment David relaxes into the idea of eloping with Rachel, them he remembers what he had done, he tries to confess but Rachel shuts him up with a soft slippery French kiss.

She's been away from him for too long it's driving her mad with excitement just being with him. She repeats the words "I love you" over and over again as she strips and straddles him. David thinks to himself "maybe it was just bad dream, maybe Rachel is back and I can truly be happy". David puts his regrets behind him and embraces Rachel, ripping off her jeans and underware, and takes her from behind as he bites her cold ears, "I miss you " he moans. Just then he sees Rachel's phone ring and the caller ID read "Pamela Baby"......

UPDATE ON DEADPOOL 2 AND GAMBIT

DEADPOOL AND CABLE

According to IGN, X-Men producer Simon Kinberg shared a few new details on several of 20th Century Fox's upcoming mutant-focused films, including the studio's upcoming Deadpool sequel and Gambit.


CHANNING TATUM AS GAMBIT

In an interview with /Film at the Television Critics Association, Kinberg said fans can expect Deadpool 2 to feature commentary on "anything that's happening in movies today especially in superhero movies." He also said the the sheer quantity of comic book films and their sequels "is definitely something we'll play around with."

With regard to who will star as Cable, Kinberg dashed hopes of Stephen Lang assuming the role, saying the part has yet to be cast. While Lang has made it clear he'd like to play Cable, his commitment to the Avatar sequels may conflict with him taking on the role.


STEPHEN LANG AS CABLE (HOPEFULLY)

The X-Men producer also spoke to the status of Fox's Gambit movie, saying that a film like this needs "a very special and unique tone" and requires "a little while to find that tone." Kinberg cited Deadpool as a prime example, noting it took ten years to get that film made. While he hopes Gambit won't require an entire decade of development time, he stressed the fact that "it takes a little honing to get that tone and that voice exactly right."

Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets


With 2016 going down as one of this biggest years for cinema movies, one can only gaze at 2017 to match it with even bigger and better movies, from comic hero movies to top notch sci-fi adventures to heart warming comedies. Just keep the goodness coming. I believe that movies of today are bigger than just being movies now, I believe cinema movies now are becoming "Cinematic Events".

Now we look at Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets,

SYNOPSIS:

Rooted in the classic graphic novel series, Valerian and Laureline- visionary writer/director Luc Besson advances this iconic source material into a contemporary, unique and epic science fiction saga.

Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline (Cara Delevingne) are special operatives for the government of the human territories charged with maintaining order throughout the universe. Valerian has more in mind than a professional relationship with his partner- blatantly chasing after her with propositions of romance. But his extensive history with women, and her traditional values, drive Laureline to continuously rebuff him.



Under directive from their Commander (Clive Owen), Valerian and Laureline embark on a mission to the breathtaking intergalactic city of Alpha, an ever-expanding metropolis comprised of thousands of different species from all four corners of the universe. Alpha’s seventeen million inhabitants have converged over time- uniting their talents, technology and resources for the betterment of all. Unfortunately, not everyone on Alpha shares in these same objectives; in fact, unseen forces are at work, placing our race in great danger.

Hulk Wraps Up Filming For Thor 3

Hello screen addicts, While production on Thor: Ragnarok will likely continue for a few more months, Mark Ruffalo has wrapped filming on Marvel's upcoming movie, which is awesome.

The Hulk/Bruce Banner actor announced his completion on set in a post on Instagram that includes a photo of himself alongside director Taika Waititi, saying he "had such a great good fun time making this movie." In a follow-up post, Ruffalo shared another photo of himself, this time staring into the eyes of Banner's green-skinned alter ego.

While Ruffalo has already wrapped filming, it's worth noting that the Hulk portion of his appearance is CGI, so his completion on set may not be indicative of how large (or small) his role in the film will be, we'll just have to be patient.
And In addition to Ruffalo, Ragnarok features an impressive cast that includes Chris Hemsworth's Thor and Tom Hiddleston's Loki, as well as Idris Elba as Heimdall, Anthony Hopkins as Odin, Cate Blanchett as Hela, Jeff Goldblum as the Grandmaster and Karl Urban as Skurge.

Thor: Ragnarok opens in theaters on November 3, 2017.

SUICIDE SQUAD INDEPTH LOOK AT THIS UNUSUAL SUPER VILLAIN MOVIE




Hello Screen Addicts, while i missed this weeks cinema countdown which i am super sorry for, life just came in-between. I will make it up to you by talking about what will be the biggest movie of next week and possibly the year.... SUICIDE SQUAD.

So what do we know about them? Those that follow the cartoons and comics are already well versed as to their origin, they've also seen TV adaptations such in SMALLVILLE and ARROW, but this is their first ever movie adaptation, and its true to the comic which is the prime source material as it should be. So lets begin....

The Suicide Squad, also known as Task Force X (the name of a closely related but independent supervisory organization), is a name for two fictional organizations appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The first version debuted in The Brave and the Bold #25 (1959), and the second version, created by John Ostrander, debuted in Legends #3 (1987).

"The Suicide Squad initiative functions as an unorthodox work release program, which explains why many of the DC Universe's supervillains remain perpetually on the loose—regardless of how many occasions they are apprehended and incarcerated for their latest crimes. The modern incarnation, the Suicide Squad, is an antihero "strike team" of incarcerated, death row supervillains. Acting as deniable, covert assets of the United States government, it undertakes high-risk, black-ops missions in exchange for commuted prison sentences. The group operates out of Belle Reve Penitentiary under the directorship of Amanda Waller. "



TEAM LINE UP:

Will Smith as Deadshot: Expert marksman, freakishly great shot, never misses, he knows exactly how many bullets it'll take to torture a man with before killing him. Created by writers as a villain but hes so awesome now they're making him an antihero.

Jared Leto as Joker: Diagnosed with super insanity, he's insanity leads to genius level chaotic strategies and pure evil. He knows he's insane and often even knows hes a comic book character. Joker is the arch-nemesis of Batman.

Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn : Joker's love interest and on and off sidekick. She's crazy, violent and mischievous that's it.

Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag
The all-business field leader of the Suicide Squad, who executes Amanda Waller's orders but does not always agree with her goals or methods.Tom Hardy was previously cast in the role but was forced to drop out because of scheduling conflicts.

Viola Davis as Amanda Waller:
The government official who gives out the Squad's orders. Ambitious and devious, she has big plans and intends to let no metahuman or military protocol get in her way.Davis stated she is fascinated by the character, singling out her psychology and strength and describing her as a "powerful black woman, hard, ready to pick up a gun and shoot anyone at will."She described Waller as "relentless in her villainy" and noted that her powers are "her intelligence and her complete lack of guilt." Davis read M.E. Thomas' autobiography Confessions of a Sociopath to prepare for her role.

Jai Courtney as Digger Harkness / Boomerang:
An assassin who utilizes deadly boomerangs, described as rugged, unpredictable and mouthy. About his role, Courtney stated, "he is an absolute bogan, in the purest sense. [David Ayer]'s first instruction was, 'find your inner shitbag'.

Jay Hernandez as Chato Santana / El Diablo:
A former Los Angeles gang member who has powers that allow him to summon flames.He has squelched his fire-conjuring powers to a solitary flame as penance for the horrors he inflicted on those he's loved.Hernandez sets his character apart from his teammates as he "just wants to stay out of the fight", while "most of [the Squad members] are happy to get out there and kill people".

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Waylon Jones / Killer Croc:
A supervillain who suffers from a skin condition that causes him to develop reptilian features. Akinnuoye-Agbaje described the character as "a cannibal with rage issues".

Cara Delevingne as June Moone / Enchantress:
An archaeologist who is possessed by an ancient evil force that transforms her into a powerful sorceress.Unleashed after a long period of imprisonment, the entity draws the attention of Waller. Delevingne described Moone as "an adventure-seeker who’s always wanted some excitement" and Enchantress as "a feral being.

Karen Fukuhara portrays Tatsu Yamashiro / Katana, (MY FAVORITE CHARACTER) an expert martial artist and swordswoman. She serves as Rick Flag's bodyguard and friend who wields the mystical Soultaker blade, capable of trapping the souls of its victims. As she is a volunteer, not a criminal, she does not have a micro-bomb implant. Fukuhara stated that Katana "has morals and codes. She can also slice through hundreds of people without taking a breath." She mourns the death of her husband.

Adam Beach plays Christopher Weiss / Slipknot:  This is what he should be, Slipknot is a master in the use of ropes, including unbreakable ones, and a trained assassin. He created a chemical adhesive which he then applied to his ropes, making them nearly indestructible. Weiss uses the ropes to strangle, grapple, and hold down his opponents. In addition to his ropes, Slipknot is an expert assassin, able to kill swiftly and silently.

While this is the offical memeber line up for the movie, in the comics and other media depictions the members are changed, but DEADSHOT and HARLY QUINN are forever constants.

SYNOPSIS
 A secret government agency led by Amanda Waller recruits imprisoned supervillains to execute dangerous black ops missions and save the world from a powerful threat in exchange for clemency.

HEARTBREAK HOTEL EP1

Love is a beautiful, but beautiful as it may be, it hurts. Some more than most. Like planning a game of roulette, it's all up to chance.


This is a true story, but the names and locations have been changed to save the parties involved embarrassment.

David Amadi and Rachel Nkwo are a couple to envy, a love that lasted throughout their childhood to present time, now they're in their late twenties with their minds set on marriage, these two were made for each other.

However a great challenge befell them as Rachel's father sent her away to American University Yola to do her master's degree program, leaving David alone in Lagos. They tried to keep the fire burning with video calls and frequent sms chat, but soon looniest crept in, on cold nights they'd think about each other and dream of dying in the others embrace.

One day, Rachel thought it'd be fun to initiate a conference call between her, her friend Pamela and David. It was fun, Pamela had what can be described as a string sexual aura around her that can even be heard she felt over the phone. David was aroused. A few days later he received a friend request from an incredibly beautiful girl on Facebook, upon checking her name, and mutual friends he found out that this was without a doubt Rachel's Pamela.

Minutes after this Pamela called David and they both had a long chat where she revealed that she was in Lagos, and suggested that they hook up, David agreed knowing he's already falling down the bottomless pit of infidelity, but it was sweet, the tension and excitement of dating again... Something he hadn't experienced in the 6 years he dated Rachel.

The next day David meet with Pamela at a restaurant where she dazzled him with her beauty and sex. She reached underneath the table grabbing and stroking his crotch, promising him a night he'd never forget. David was sold, the thought of Rachel was fresh in his mind, but it's already been a year since they saw each other last. He began to created excuses in his head to justify the act he's about to commit. Telling himself that Rachel must have another guy in Yola, she's probably having sex daily while he roasts in the cold in Lagos.

TO BE CONTINUED NEXT SUNDAY...


LUKE CAGE GETS 3 EPISODE TREATMENT

Now, Coker has taken to Twitter to reveal the titles of the first three episodes. He says the first episode is titled “Moment of Truth,” the second “Code of The Streets,” and the third “Who’s Gonna Take The Weight?” Coke also promised three more titles would be revealed every Friday leading up to the show’s September 30 premiere.

After a sabotaged experiment leaves him with super strength and unbreakable skin, Luke Cage becomes a fugitive trying to rebuild his life in modern day Harlem, New York City. But he is soon pulled out of the shadows and must fight a battle for the heart of his city–forcing him to confront a past he had tried to bury.

GAME OF THRONES ENDING IS NEAR

According to COMING SOON.



HBO confirms Game of Thrones Season 8 will conclude the series

Game of Thrones executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss previously teased that there would only be two more seasons of the fan-favorite series. Now,HBO has officially confirmed that Game of Thrones Season 8 will be the show’s conclusion. 

“Yes, they have a very specific plan about the number of seasons they want to do,” HBO programming president Casey Bloys said at TCA (via Entertainment Weekly). “Believe me, as the new [programming executive] coming in, if I could get them to do more. I would take 10 more seasons. But we take their lead on what they think they can do the best version of the show.”

Bloys was also asked about the potential for a Game of Thrones spin-off series, of which there has been much fan interest in online.

“We’ve talked about it, it’s something I’m not opposed to, but of course it has to make sense creatively. I’m not sure that the guys could really wrap their heads around it when they’re just about to start production. It’s a pretty intense production, they’re about to start production soon. I’m open to it. The guys weren’t opposed to it, but there’s no concrete plans for it at this point.”

Game of Thrones recently received 23 Primetime Emmy nominations, the most of any nominee for the third year in a row. This year’s nominations include Outstanding Drama Series, 2 for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series (Peter Dinklage, Kit Harington), 3 for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series (Emilia Clarke, Lena Headey, Maisie Williams), Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series (Max von Sydow), 2 for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series (Miguel Sapochnik, Jack Bender) and Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series (David Benioff and D.B. Weiss).



 


Hope this babe dies soon.

The series is currently preparing to film its seventh season, which will premiere next summer. The executive producers of Game of Thrones are David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, Carolyn Strauss, Frank Doelger and Bernadette Caulfield; co-executive producers are Guymon Casady, Vince Gerardis, George R.R. Martin and Bryan Cogman; and producers are Chris Newman, Greg Spence and Lisa McAtackney.

BLACK PANTHER CAST ADDED

According to  COMINGSOON 


Black Panther cast confirmed, new logo debuts!
Straight from the Marvel Studios panel at San Diego Comic-Con comes confirmation of the cast for Marvel’s Black Panther, along with a new logo for the highly-anticipated film.

Chadwick Boseman will star as the title hero of course, reprising his role from Captain America: Civil War and he’s joined by Michael B. Jordan (Creed, Fruitvale Station), who will play Erik Killmonger (a villain in the source material), Lupita Nyong’o (12 Years A Slave, Star Wars: The Force Awakens) as Nakia (a former member of Wakanda’s Dora Milaje, now an agent of Killmonger, and Danai Gurira (The Walking Dead) as Okoye (a member of the Dora Milaje, the wives-in-training for the King of Wakanda).

“I want to thank you for your energy, we’re gonna take it, work hard, and we’ll see you soon,” director Ryan Coogler said on stage. Production on the film begins in January in Atlanta, Georgia.

Coogler is both writing and directing Black Panther, which will continue the story of Boseman’s T’Challa, the warrior King of Wakanda, following his debut in this summer’s Captain America: Civil War. It’s unclear what other characters will appear in the film, though Andy Serkis’ Ulysses Klaw, who made his debut in Avengers: Age of Ultron, is one strong possibility given the villain’s role in the comics. It’s also quite likely that we’ll see the return of Martin Freeman’s Civil War character Everett Ross who, in the comics, worked closely with T’Challa.

If you’d like to know more about Black Panther, be sure to check out our previously published Origins & Evolutions piece on T’Challa by clicking here!

Black Panther debuts in theaters on February 16, 2018.   



CINEMA MOVIE WEEKLY SCHEDULE

Hello Screen Addicts, been off here for 3 days because of my birthday and after birthday birthday. But no matter, we must know whats up, so I'm here for you. So we're gonna do a review and schedule and we're gonna be looking at INDEPENDENCE DAY RESURGENCE.



First here's a link to this weeks movie schedule for FILM HOUSE CINEMA PHC, LAGOS AND CALABAR
PHC :CLICK HERE

LAGOS: CLICK HERE

CALABAR: CLICK HERE

A sequel of the 1996 sci-fi hit Independence Day starring Will Smith. The first let down of the sequel is that Will Smith refused to reprise his role as Captain Steven Hiller the smart talking quick witted hero of the movie. Instead the producers decided to replace him by saying he died and his son followed in his foot steps and is now the face of the new air force training program dedicated to fighting aliens.



That being said, the synopsis is as follows:
Two decades after the first Independence Day invasion, Earth is faced with a new extra-Solar threat. But will mankind's new space defenses be enough?

Seems simple enough right? but low and behold the mess up begins, firstly with the introduction of Hiller's son Dylan Hiller played by Jessie T. Usher. Dude was at best a cheerleader, completely irrelevant and contributed nothing to the movie, a poor man's Will Smith. The new hero of the movie came in the likes of Liam Hemsworth's Jake Morrison a best friend and partner of Dylan Hiller.

Characters of Vivica A. Fox who's supposed to be Dylan Hiller's mum only purpose was serving old fans the cold dish of returning cast to keep the feeling of it being a sequel warm. Her role was more unnecessary than the role of young Hiller. And I gotta say this, 30 mins to 40 mins into the movie, there's a father-daughter connection between Chinese pilot Rain Lao and her Uncle Commander Jian was practically useless and unnecessary because he dies, and the girl's character takes a back seat and her revenge isn't even achieved.

The entire focus of the movie was special effect, high speed alien battles, and to reinforce a reason to create INDEPENDENCE DAY 3.

THE LEGEND OF TARZAN REVIEW

Hello screen addicts, this is one late review but better late than never. That being said, this is one movie I knew from the get go was going to be epically awesome.

If you're a 90's or 80's or hell even 60's baby you know the story of Tarzan the ape man and Jane the damsel that tamed him. For new comers here's a little run down of the origin story; after the death of his parents, Tarzan was raised by apes from infancy and adapted to the animal kingdom by learning how to relate with all the animals in the jungle until he met Jane who rehabilitated him and brought him back to society.

Now that's out of the way the movie picks up some 10 years after Tarzan leaves the jungle, and he's now a lord after inheriting his father's estate and is of course married to Jane.

Tempting as it may be I choose to keep my reviews spoiler free. The movie synopsis is as follows:

It has been years since the man once known as Tarzan (Skarsgård) left the jungles of Africa behind for a gentrified life as John Clayton III, Lord Greystoke, with his beloved wife, Jane (Robbie) at his side. Now, he has been invited back to the Congo to serve as a trade emissary of Parliament, unaware that he is a pawn in a deadly convergence of greed and revenge, masterminded by the Belgian, Captain Leon Rom (Waltz). But those behind the murderous plot have no idea what they are about to unleash.

The Legend Of Tarzan stars Alexander Skarsgård (Tarzan), Margot Robbie (Jane), Samuel L. Jackson (The guy that helps the hero), Christoph Waltz (The bad guy as usual), Djimon Hounsou (Bad guy 2).

The all star cast didn't disappoint expect action, drama, stellar performances, apes with six packs and biceps that'll make the Rock blush and a fantastic end sequence that made me clap.


Rating: 8.9

A solid effort. But Christoph Waltz was underutilized.

THE FLASH REWINDS TIME AGAIN



While i have never really had any ill feelings towards The Flash, I was never really fond of him until the 2014 series staring Grant Gustin as the titular hero. Then i was so engrossed i started cheating by reading the DC comics to get ahead of the tv series. Flash in my opinion is the best superhero show ever to touch tv period. (sorry Arrow, sorry Agents Of Shield).



With the close of season 2 having a lot of mixed reviews such as the unsatisfying ending, the fight not being as epic as the one at the end of season 1. But not the worry there's hope in the horizon some where. Grant Gustin himself aka Barry Allen has revealed the plot of season 3 will follow the comic saga called FLASHPOINT. Those who know the comics will agree that this will be the best of the three seasons if executed properly.

Barry feeling the loss of his dad and his mum at the close of season two, runs back to the past to undo the actions of Reverse Flash which resulted in the death of his mum, thus saving his mum and dad. While that's not really bad, things go awry as the entire timeline and history is changed forever with consequences that even the Flash with all his speed might not be able to outrun.

Keiynan Lonsdale will also come full circle as Kid Flash.


The Flash stars Grant Gustin as Barry Allen/The Flash, Candice Patton as Iris West, Danielle Panabaker as Caitlin Snow, Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramo, Tom Cavanagh as Dr. Harrison Wells and Jesse L. Martin as Detective Joe West. Season 2 of the series also introduced Keiynan Lonsdale as Wally West and the Earth-2 version of The Flash as played by John Wesley Shipp (who also played Barry’s father, Henry Allen). The Flash season 3 premiere is already set to debut on The CW on Tuesday, October 4 at 8 PM ET.

Return Of Michael Scofield

Everyone who loves series has seen Prison Break, and if there are new comers to series binge watching, this is a must see.

After the close of season 4 we were barely able of come to terms with the shocking end that was the demise of Micheal Scofield. Girls cried, and guys screamed why at the top of their voices while kneeling shirtless in the rain.

But fear not, for the powers that be have decided to bring back our boys (not chibok boys oh), so we're gonna have a season 5 after all, and while casting is still on, we expect all the series regulars to return.


Synopsis: Seven years later, thanks to an information provided by T-Bag, Lincoln and Sara discover that Michael is still alive in a Yemen prison (really? Again?), so they develop a plan to get him out.

MOVIE MEMES

Hello Screen Addicts, now we've settled the business of the day which is movie posts, lets laugh at some memes i found this morning.

2016 the year superheroes just cant get along, but bad guys can, CAPTAIN AMERICA : CIVIL WAR, BATMAN VS SUPERMAN. Why cant they just be like nice old SUICIDE SQUAD, I mean see how happy Harley Quinn is.

BATMAN AND SUPERMAN are cool, but then there's LINCOLN AND DARYL of THE WALKING DEAD. If you haven't seen it, you should start from the beginning its awesome.


Really.... there's no reason anyone wont absolutely love STAR WARS.

This supposed to be for my Game Of Thrones meme segment but i couldn't resist.

Summary of all Marvel movies. HEHEHEHEHEHEHE.

That's all folks.

THOR''S BROTHER IS A COWBOY



Liam Hemsworth, kid brother to Chris Hemsworth (Thor), returns to screen after a successful series run in Hunger Games, and coincidentally his Hunger Games co-star Woody Harrlson also stars alongside in this western thriller THE DUEL.

Written by Matt Cook and directed by Kieran Darcy-Smith, we're promised a gritty action packed western. The synopsis is as follows: A Texas Ranger (Liam Hemsworth) investigates a series of murders in an Old West town that's run by a former Confederate officer (Woody Harrelson).

So taking a break from superhero and comic movies we're gonna be treated to some grit and gore. THE DUEL OPENS JUNE 24, 2016




COLLIN RETURNS FOR KINGSMAN TOOO



Great news Screen Addicts, while i was up by 2am today wondering why my sleep eludes me, i stumbled on some juicy news. Our favorite character from the 2015 hit spy action comedy KINGSMAN: SECRET SERVICE, Looking back on the scene where he was murdered, the entire cinema was in mourning, because even if we knew he wasn't the star of the movie, i believe one can say he totally owned the whole movie.

Plus the ultimate death in a movie is such that you are killed in such a way that you would never return, example, a detailed car bomb, hanging, beheading (ok, i better stop now starting to sound like a psycho killer) or in the case of Galahad, Collin Firth's character, he was shot in the head at close range, meaning if ever he's coming back it should be as a flashback.



But the power of the internet prevails once again as WE the hungry fans refused to let anyone replace Collin, so the producers of the movie summoned the wisest writers from far and wide to con-cut a delectable bullshit story to explain how a man that was shot at point blank range with the exist wound from the back of his skull returns.



Either way we're happy he's back. KINGSMAN: GOLDEN CIRCLE ( No affiliation or relation to the over popularized Nigerian branded condom), will be opening  JUNE 16, 2017. Elton John, Vinnie Jones and Jeff Bridges are set to appear as well.
