After treatment #2, I call my teeth “Sparkling”! I still drink a cup of tea each day, but now without guilt or dingy residue left on my pearly whites. Excited to know that this whiteness will be part of my smiling personality for 1-2 months before I need a follow-up visit, I’m going out more with verve and panache, socially-distanced, of course. With enhanced confidence in my smile, I smile more these days. When I smile more, I’m happier and so are my family and pals.

The camera's vintage looks is a nice bonus.

Mile 22 was a pretty crappy movie. I’m glad I didn’t watch it at the cinemas in 2018.

I think this may be Mark Wahlberg’s worst movie.

Marky Mark plays James Silva, an always-angry CIA operative whose Overwatch (haha!) team needs to escort an asset from Indonesia who knows where some bad nuclear thingie is. They have to travel from the embassy of “Indocarr” (fictional place but they speak Indonesian) to the airport where a plane is waiting to extract them, and it is… 22 miles away.

Of course, they don’t call a Gojek, but instead fight their way to their destination while being chased by Indocarr’s special forces and street punks.

In the middle of the movie, Mother (John Malkovich) who is their handler, computer team leader, and general eye in the sky, has to explain the plot all over again so that you will not be confused by the convoluted first half of the movie. Wah, they play mother one.

You also get to hear Wahlberg explain a bunch of things in the middle of the movie to his debriefing team. In case, you need more exposition. And you also get to see how bad Ronda Rousey's acting is.

They have it all. A crack team, every weapon known to man, air and satellite support provided by Asian chiobu rapper CL (Lee Chae-rin), killer drones, nerdy MIT-trained computer experts saying high-tech things but unable to unlock an encrypted hard drive, and documents that they sign before a mission that state they are no longer American citizens as evidence of their ultimate patriotism.

The only thing they don't have is a decent plot.

Naturally, a country must be depicted like some dingy Third-World banana republic full of corrupt cops and slums. And for some reason, the motorcycle-riding bad guys wear black from top to toe. In our Southeast Asian heat.

Even the twist in the plot (yes, I will save you the trouble of watching this by telling you there is a twist), was ultimately unsatisfying and a cheap attempt at setting up a possible sequel (Mile 23?).

What a waste of John Malkovich and The Raid’s Iko Uwais.

Option 1: Diplomacy
Option 2: Military
Option 3: Watch something else.

Metamorphosis พากย์ไทย แปลไทย

Wake up as Gregor, turned into a tiny bug, and use your
newfound abilities and nimble legs to uncover the truth
behind your mysterious transformation.

Inspired by the curious imagination of Franz Kafka,
Metamorphosis reimagines salesman Gregor Samsa as
he turns into a tiny bug and embarks on a quest to save
himself and his friend Joseph, who has been arrested for
reasons unknown. Inconveniently, Joseph can’t recognize
your new arthropodal body.

Rescue Joseph and uncover the truth behind
your metamorphosis

You must go on a perilous journey through a strange
world which, like yourself, has turned twisted and
unfamiliar. What once seemed like mundane dwellings
have become an expansive obstacle course. You’ll have to
leap, climb, and chart your path through the dingy nooks
and crannies that exist within the cracks of civilization.
Use your wits to unravel the truth and return to the life
you once knew.

Video Title: How North Korea Held the Greatest Pro Wrestling Event in History

"Pyongyang, 1995. The lone American made his way down a long, dingy hallway, past several North Korean officials. He was nervous, afraid of what was to come - not just because of the constant surveillance he was under, but the state of the entire country. You see North Korea was in the midst of a devastating famine, with hundreds of thousands of its citizens suffering and dying from starvation and illnesses. He didn’t know what to expect, but he was there for a reason, and he had a job to do. At the entrance, he got his cue, and with one final breath, he stepped out, into what was a sea of humanity. Now this wasn’t just any crowd. This was a 190,000 North Koreans who were conditioned to see Americans as evil - who did not know pro wrestling was staged, that it was predetermined and choreographed, and here was a man - a blond-haired American man - who embodied everything they were legitimately told to hate. This man was the legendary Ric Flair, one of the greatest American professional wrestlers of all time, and at this moment he was wondering what he had gotten himself into. Now this happened in April, 1995, but the events that led to this, actually started 11 months earlier..."
