Storms, Deaths and Apocalypses




THOR RAGNAROK
ACTION/ADVENTURE/SUPERHERO

PLOT:  The third movie about the thunder god with the hammer.

                Thor (Chris Hemsworth) finds out his adopted brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) is pretending to be his father Odin and that he has a long lost sister Hela (Cate Blanchett) Goddess of Death and she wants to take over Asgard and portals him to a place where he becomes a gladiator against his ex-Avenger, Hulk (Mark Ruffalo).  This is the funniest movie of the Thor series but considering the meaning of ragnarok means destruction is very strange.  It does have serious moments but mostly it is very amusing.  Hemsworth is also physically perfect as Thor and he is very funny.  Blanchett is excellent as Hela who wants to be queen or Asgard or Armageddon.   Huddleston as Loki is devious as always.  Idris Elba as Heimdall is strong, intense, and heroic and Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie is tough but drinking warrior.

GEOSTORM
SCI-FI/DRAMA

PLOT:  The weather is unpredictable so a brilliant scientist creates a station in space to control the weather.

                Jack Lawson (Gerald Butler) is smart scientist who created Geostorm, a space station that controls the weather.  This is a disaster movie so you know someone tampers with the space station and the weather goes nuts!  Countries that are cold are hot, eruptions, lighting everything with the weather goes crazy.  Jack has to save the Earth.  Story is not the important thing about this movie but special effects and they are top-notch!    It is a popcorn movie in October.   It is a good movie if you like disaster movies. The film is not doing well and I believe the reason is the recent hurricanes are worst than ever. It is a little to real for the public right now.

HAPPY DEATH DAY
HORROR/COMEDY

PLOT:  Young woman relives her death over and over until she finds her murderer.


                Theresa nickname Tree (Jessica Rothe) is a college student who on her birthday gets a bizarre birthday gift she has to find the killer or she repeats different ways she gets murdered. She is not a good girl but a beautiful, self-centered bitch!  The strange thing is you cheer for her because throughout the movie she becomes a decent woman.  Rothe is very good funny and fierce as she is trying to solve her own killing.  The young, unknown cast is very good as well but the standout is actress Rachel Matthews as Danielle, a beauty who is more of a bitch than Tree.  It is an amusing slasher movie if there is such a thing.
