Two Texas brothers take on the small town Texas banks. Then they get to take on a couple of Texas Rangers. This movie is extremely well acted and it is an interesting film with plenty of action and comedy along the way. Chris Pine was probably my favorite, but it is a close race. Go check it out if you get the chance.
One of the best animated films I have seen in a while, and seeing it at the local water park made it even better. Everyone gathers around the wave pool, and watches on the big inflatable screen. This is a detective story that starts when Judy Hopps becomes the first bunny to join the Zootopia Police Department. The story is good, and there are lots of laughs along the way. Overall, a fun night!
If you are in the theater for this rendition of the Bourne films, you are probably here for the action. That is the one thing that this movie delivers well. There are fist fights, motorcycle escapes, car chases, gun play, and more fights. Bourne and the CIA team trying to catch him do some impossible things, probably to the detriment of the storyline. The camera work is what we have come to expect from the series – crazy fast moving. I would prefer a script where Jason Bourne is trying to do some good in the world instead of a retread of him versus the CIA goons out to get him.
This is a fun summer movie. All the characters you love are back. The villain has a rubber face that deserves punching. Sofia Boutella plays a great part and you wish for more of her character as the film goes on. The space scenes are wonderful. There could be a little less of last second escapes, motorcycle stunts, and funky physics. All in all, this one sticks to the franchise formula which is both a good thing and a bad thing at times.
I am feeling yucky for the past few days. Down with a cold and a nose that won’t stop running. What can you do but drink lots of fluids, take your vitamins, get some rest, and turn to Netflix to help pass the time. Wildlike is a film that resonated with me. It is about a girl, recently sent to Alaska to live with her Uncle, who can no longer trust anyone to look out for her best interests. It is a slow burn of a movie that gets you wrapped up in her predicament – not to mention the most beautiful Alaskan scenery. Check it out if you have the patience for an independent film like this.
I thought that this film was brilliant. Of course, I am a fan of John Carney, the director. “Once” is one of my favorite films, and “Begin Again” is a good flick to check out on Netflix. For this movie, a teenager with a life full of problems meets a girl, falls in like instantly, and invites her to participate in a music video for his band. The only problem is that he doesn’t have a band, but needs to create one fast to continue this connection with the girl of his dreams.
This has to be the oddest movie I have seen in a long time. It is funny at times and frightening at others. If I were to recommend that you see it, most of you would hate me for it. But a few would enjoy the oddity called “The Lobster”.
Just when you thought Marvel movies were the bomb, this one bombs. A tired display of X-Men super powers along with a plot to insure lots of good napping in the theater.
A fun private investigator movie set in 1977 Los Angeles when the girls, cars, and music were all groovy.
What to do when you are at home sick with a stomach bug? Netflix to the rescue. I found this movie called Victoria. It is about a girl from Spain who doesn’t speak any German, and finds herself working at a cafe in Berlin. The most amazing thing about this film is that it was shot in one continuous take. It starts off in a local club at around 4:00 am and moves on from there. The plot is a little out there, but for the filming technique alone, I recommend giving this one a try.
