‘Maze Runner: The Death Cure’ Movie Review

This is the 3rd film and the last installment in this big ensemble cast franchise. The storyline and the action scenes are both engaging with all of our favorites back and a few new faces. I think this franchise goes out on a high note. I enjoyed the IMAX experience.

‘Forever My Girl’ Movie Review

This is definitely a chick flick but it’s a good one. I totally enjoyed the entire storyline (based on a best selling book). The chemistry of all the characters is great. The young actress portraying Billy, does a GREAT job (she carries the movie) and I expect her career to take off. I did expect to see at least a tear or two from the lead male character, Liam, but it didn’t happen yet I still enjoyed the movie (he’s also quite attractive.

‘Phantom Thread’ Movie Review

This movie is so dark and it’s not all bad. Reynolds is this reclusive dress maker with his set of rules that must not be broken. He meets his muse, Alma and I guess, falls in love with her. Their love is poisonous to say the least. The owner of the thread is the phantom…get it?

’12 Strong’ Movie Review

This movie is based on true accounts of a Special Forces team deployed to Afghanistan after 9/11. If it wasn’t a true story it would be hard to believe because the special forces team rode horses in battle against the enemy that had tanks.  I love movies based on true stories, therefore, I enjoyed learning about this classified and successful deployment.  I did enjoy seeing it in #IMAX.

‘Den of Thieves’ Movie Review

This is definitely my type of popcorn movie…shoot-em-up bang-bang, lol. The storyline is quite engaging; some scenes as slow(and it works) yet the movie is not slow. The character development is good and your mind is trying to figure out who is actually better of all the bad guys on both sides. I found myself routing for the somewhat obvious bad guys because their plan was so masterful. This movie reminds me of ‘Takers’ with a cast of handsome men and it reminds me of ‘Set it Off’. Overall it’s a good movie yet there were a couple things that didn’t tie in well.

‘Paddington 2’ Movie Review

Paddington the bear is just as much a nuisance like the old school character, Dennis the Menace. The bear is lovable but trouble is always nearby. Fun and funny for the whole family. I actually ended up enjoying the movie.

‘The Commuter’ Movie Review

There’s a criminal conspiracy that’s the premise of the movie yet towards the end it’s quite boring. Most people like me are going to see Liam in an action film and as usual he bring it. This is cross between ‘Speed’, ‘Taken’, and ‘Murder on the Orient Express’. It’s worth checking out.

‘Proud Mary’ Movie Review

I totally enjoyed the action scenes and I thought the character development was good enough yet by the end I felt a couple things were never cleared up and that the ending could have been stronger. Yet, the movie is worth checking out.

‘The Post’ Movie Review

Journalists and those who work in government will really like this movie. The movie is slow in retro topics that in depth didn’t compel me to engage in this movie. The acting is good but not enough for me although with this being a film based on true accounts. Maybe I need to watch it again.

‘Hostiles’ Movie Review

I believe this movie is based on true accounts that are in Scott Cooper’s manuscript. The movie didn’t deliver based on the hype I had been hearing. I was expecting a cowboys and Indians movie; there are two tribes of Indians yet the other party are military men (so it’s NOT a western in my opinion). There are a few gory scenes with most of the movie having scenes with little dialogue (not including the subtitles) that made the movie slow.
