Movie Night

I love a good movie, I honestly do
I’d watch one alone and I’d watch one with you
Adventure or Western, perhaps a film noir,
A comedy suited to my Ma and Pa

I like a good Thriller, a detective drama
A tale of vendetta, of justice or Khama
I do enjoy Horror, I rather like gruesome 
And stories of outlaws or some wayward twosome

And thrill me with gunfights, a street brawl or two
A hideous death for the bad guy will do
I do love a story, exciting or fun
Not just an excuse for firing a gun

Okay, I confess that I like those films too
In which gangsters shoot up a hullabaloo
But the plot is the crux, it’s what makes my mind smile 
You can’t just have guns going off all the while 

It’s pouring outside and pretty damned cold
A night in with Netflix has gotten me sold
So let’s watch a movie; forget going out
Let’s sit down and see what ‘John Wicks’ is about

                                     *

Well, she’s gone to bed and I’m sat on my tod
Most of the cast are conversing with God
I have to confess that this shoot-em-up rave
Is gonna go down… as a personal fave!

I’m half way through ‘John Wicks 4’ which inspired this write. Sometimes, just sometimes… culture is not a requirement. Just kill some bad guys… love it! ;-)

And I find myself wondering … have you seen any of the four John Wicks movies? They’re, violent, they’re OTT… but hey… the baddies die, the goody lives… RESULT! If you haven’t seen any and give them a try.. do start with the first one… it explains much! Glad you enjoyed my night with my feet up in front of the tele.
