I was a huge fan of the original John Wick. It was a pleasant gem that was recommended to me by a friend. John Wick 2 leaves off where the first one ended. Keanu reeves stars as the John Wick, a hitman who wants to retire from his profession after the death of his wife. John Wick 2 opens up the world that Wick once belonged and gives as a glimpse of what his life once was. John is trying to retire peaceful but a blood marker is called in and John is forced to be the hitman he so desperately once behind. The job is not as simple as it is presented. John is double crossed and must fight for his life as he transforms for hitman to prey. Like the first one, the second one is action packed from beginning to end. If you are fan of the first I highly recommended the second. Easily 4 and half stars out of 5.
Rogue One is easily one of the beast Star Wars films made.. Of the eight live action feature films, Rogue One is up there with The Empire Strikes Back. The film is set right before the original Star Wars film New Hope. In this film The Rebel Alliance send a small stealth team to steal the plans for the original Death Star hoping to find a weakness so they can destroy the weapon before The Empire can use it. Rogue is well acted and well paced. The drama and action is there and both hardcore fans, casual fans, and people who never watched the films can enjoy. If you are a fan of the films, especially the originals this is well worth the but. 5 stars!
xXx stars action hero Vin Diesel. In this film Extreme Sports star Dander Cage (Vin Diesel) is recruited to help bring down a Russian Crime ring. xXx is a fun popcorn film. I know I may upset some with this, but this has a modern day James Bond. The movie is filled with high adrenaline and a ton of action sequences much like James Bond. The film was refreshing and showcases Diesel at his best, blowing things up, being tough, and being extreme the entire time. The film is well paced and moves quickly for a film over two hours. If you are into high intense action, this is the film for you.
Finding Dory is the sequel to the smash hit Finding Nemo. In this film, Dory decides she to find her parents whom she was separated long ago. With the help of her friends Nemo and his father, Dory sets out into the deep ocean to find her parents. The movie has everything you can ask. Humor, adventure, drama and a touching message. This film is highly recommended for Pixar fans, Finding Nemo fans, and families in general. 4 star entertainment!
Batman vs., Superman: Dawn of Justice is the setup of DC Comic book universe that will ultimately lead into the Justice League. Henry Cavill reprises his role as Superman, the man from Krypton who saved Planet Earth from the evil General Zod. Ben Affleck joins the cast as Bruce Wayne and Wayne's alter ego Batman. Also joining the cast Gal Gadot as Diana Prince aka Wonder Woman. The movie begins where Man of Steel left off. Bruce Wayne witnesses the destruction of Metropolis because of the epic battle between General Zod and Superman. Wayne immediately distrusts the Man of Steel, he believes Superman's actions are irresponsible and his alien powers are not to be trusted as Wayne believes he can be easily corrupted. The film moves forward 18 months and we meet the main protagonist of the film Lex Luther, Superman's arch-nemesis played by Jesse Eisenberg. Luther's master plan is to discredit Superman and tarnish his savior image and pitting Superman vs. Batman in the process. A lot worked for this film. Gal Gadot stole the show. Her portrayal of Wonder Woman was awesome. After watching her embrace this role, I cannot wait for her stand alone film. 2017 cannot come too soon. Surprisingly Ben Affleck was awesome. I was completely worried when they announced he would be playing the role of Batman. I remember his Daredevil film and how disappointed I was with the film. I did not expect him able to carry another superhero role let alone Batman. The tone of the film is a plus as well. The film is dark and gritty, a grownup superhero film, not one where a guy flies around calling people names of characters of other big films because they look like them or constant silly jokes. Doomsday was also pretty cool; he was created different than in the comics but looked perfect for the part. There are a couple things that do not work. The story at times drags a little but not too much where you will be bored with the film. Also, some characters are a tad underdeveloped like Holly Hunter as Senator Finch. At times she seems like she wants to be good and there times she wants to be bad, she can't decide. Lex Luther was off. He seemed more like The Joker than Luther as he was portrayed as a psychopath not a sociopath. Eisenberg's portrayal was at times over the top, but not overly annoying. I found myself OK with him and at times frustrated with him. Overall I enjoyed Batman vs. Superman. Is the film perfect? No, no film is no matter what anyone says. Is this the best superhero film, no it is not the best. Fans of Frank Miller's Dark Knight and The Death of Superman will appreciate this film. Marvel fans will pick this part just to find ways to hate this. Everything they criticized the film to me, they praised about The Avengers. Am I a DC fan boy that hates Marvel? No I am not. Guardians of the Galaxy, Deadpool, Captain America: Winter's Solider, X-Men: First Class, and X-Men: Days of Future Past are some of my favorite films. I tell everybody, see the film for yourself as everyone has different tastes.
The Great Outdoors! A great family vacation getaway to the north woods. What family would not like a relaxing, peaceful vacation? A family that has an intruding, obnoxious brother-in-law who has a weird family in tow. Candy and Aykroyd work perfect together. Great 80s comedy and classic Candy who was lost to early to this Earth. The Great Outdoors take you back to when comedies and Comedians had talent and were funny.
The Burbs is a great gem. Tom Hanks plays a normal everyday husband who lives in the Burbs. He has a nosey neighbor, a grumpy old man neighbor, a typical rebel teenager,and a gung ho army vet neighbor with an attractive wife. New neighbors just moved in but when did they arrive? What happened to the old neighbors? Why are the new neighbors digging holes late at night in the backyard? Why are they secretive about their garbage? Did they kill the old neighbors. Only in the Burbs. Great dark comedy. A 90s classic.
Eddie the Eagle is a great heart warming story the whole family can enjoy. All his life Eddie Edwards was told he was not good enough and did not have the right looks to make or be on the British Olympic team. Defying all the odds and obstacles, Eddie fights to earn his spot on the team with some help from a failed American Ski Jumper who lost his chance years before for gold. Eddie the Eagle will soar into your hearts and not leave a dry eye when he is finished. Totally recommended.
