John Wick: Chapter 3 Expands the Action Genre with Balletic Precision

Based in Las Vegas, Michael Bonislawski is a well established DJ who leads an entertainment group that undertakes casino bookings. In the past, Michael Bonislawski reviewed movies with the Florida News Journal and he maintains an active watch on new Hollywood movies. 

One of the most anticipated recent releases was John Wick: Chapter 3, which opens where the second installment left off, with a $14 million bounty having been placed on the revenge-driven lone wolf character played by Keanu Reeves. This stemmed from the fact that Wick had been excommunicated from the High Tower, which functions as a “quasi-religious bureaucracy” for a chaotic underworld. His crime was killing a mafia boss within the sanctuary of the Continental, where no violence is allowed. 

In an Internet-connected age, what this translates to for Chapter Three is that virtually every bounty hunter worldwide has an aim of taking John Wick out. Despite the high body counts, the John Wick movies are artful cinematic exercises that transcend a variety of Asian and Western action styles and become what a PluggedIn reviewer has described as “ballets of blood.” The movies also stand as fairy tales for a modern era, with a lone, outmatched warrior fighting against untold monsters and demons on a path toward redemption.

A Brief History of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

With more than two decades of experience in the entertainment industry, Michael Bonislawski is an experienced actor and cruise director. Beyond his professional activities, Michael Bonislawski has donated to and volunteered at the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is the brainchild of the entertainer Danny Thomas, who sought to create a hospital that would care for children regardless of creed, color, or ability to pay. The hospital opened its doors in 1962 and quickly became a premier hospital for treating acute lymphoblastic leukemia. For instance, when it released a study showing a survival rate of 50 percent among patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 1972, it revolutionized leukemia therapy around the globe.

In 1984, the hospital established the After Completion of Therapy Clinic, which is today the largest long-term followup clinic in the world for pediatric cancer patients. In 2000, the Hartwell Center for Bioinformatics and Biotechnology opened, housing more innovative research technologies in molecular and computing science for treating pediatric diseases under one roof than any other center in the world. Among its most recent achievements, the hospital partnered with the World Health Organization with the goal of curing, at a minimum, 60 percent of the world's children with the most common kinds of cancer by 2030.
