Jim Pagiamtzis Review:

The Burial (2023): Movie Review

                                                                    

Jim's Review

Willie E. Gary ( Jamie Fox) is a lawyer of luxury who has always been a winner and show it off with his planes and cars, that is until Jeremiah Joseph O'Keefe shows up with a special situation.

The dramatic adventure begins as Willie E Gary takes on a case that will have its twists and mega turns that will affect everyone on both sides

Based a true story director Maggie Betts brings this story some heart and lots of laughs throughout the film.

The climatic end will have you at the edge of your seat saying How much? just tell me please... Don't worry all will be revealed in due time..

Equalizer 3 (2023): Movie Review

                                                                                     

Jim's Review

Robert Mc Call (Denzel Washington) is living the quiet life in Italy until he runs into the mafia.

The story is eloquently told with grace yet the pace slows down until the action sequences happen which are even more gruesome this sequel then fall again into boring.

Each principle is supported by four key elements. The goal is to create an energy that scales itself by generating its own like-kind energy. Ultimately, we want to not only put things out into the universe in a certain way that will come back to us twofold, but also where what we empower creates a similar energy.

The most successful businesses thrive by putting energy out there in a specific way, creating additional salespeople because of the power of what they ve provided. Companies like Apple exceed expectations and have been able to thrive utilizing the scalability of this concept.
