Vamp Fangs, Sex Pangs and Media Gangs




GONE GIRL
MYSTERY/THRILLER

PLOT:  On a couple’s fifth anniversary his wife is missing.

                The title of the film can mean many things and when you see it you will understand why!!  Did Nick (Ben Affleck) kill his beautiful blond wife Amy (Rosamund Pike) and hid her well and that’s why the police can’t find her?  The media thinks he killed her and wants their audience to think the same.  No one is innocent as they appear even lawyer Tanner Bolt (Tyler Perry) who plays the shady lawyer very well.  It is based on a novel of the same name and Gillian Flynn, the author wrote the screenplay.  Ms. Pike who usually plays English women (she is English) deserves an Oscar nomination. It is a blend of a Lifetime movie and an episode of Snapped!!


DRACULA UNTOLD
HORROR

PLOT:  Another movie about Dracula.

                In this version they mix history with myth.  Vlad (Luke Evans) is king but Mehmed (Dominic Cooper) want one thousand young men and Vlad’s son.  He does not like the idea.  He goes to the Master Vampire(!!) played by Charles Dance to turn him into a monster.  It is a different take on the Dracula legend.  They make him a hero with no other alternative but to turn evil.  

Luke Evans was in the Fast and Furious 6.  He was the bad guy but in that movie but in this film he is the star and he is ruggedly handsome and plays his part very well.  Charles Dance is great as the Master Vampire even if it is like a cartoon character.  The film is not epic – over 90 minutes but it packs in a lot.  Worth seeming if you like Luke Evans or vampires.


ADDICTED
DRAMA/THRILLER

PLOT:  Based on the bestseller by Zane now a movie.

                Zoe (Sharon Leal) has a great job as finding new artist. She has a hunk of a husband (Boris Kodjoe) two cute kids but she is a sex addict!!  Her two boy toys are Tyson Beckford and William Levy.  You have seen this all before but never with an attractive black cast!!  No slaves, no maids no gangbangers!!  It is great seeing that and there is a lot of sex!! 

They always have changes made when they make the movie, but she was much hornier, Zoe was much more of a slut in the novel!!  If you didn’t know about the film don’t worry, many people didn’t.  Codeblack, part of Lionsgate did most advertising on the internet.  Positively worth watching to see sexy people screwing around like in soft-porn movies.

On Races and Mazes




NO GOOD DEED
THRILLER

PLOT:  Convict escapes and terrorizes woman with two children.

                If one of the major black networks had movies this would be it.  It stars the talented Taraji Henson and Idris Elba as unhappy housewife and a psychopath and on a rainy night their paths collide that changes both their lives forever.  It is farfetched in some parts and there is a twist in the film.  Should you see it?  Well it different than black people being slaves and maids.  It is a girl’s night out picture but if you can wait for video wait.


MAZE RUNNER
SCI-FI THRILLER

PLOT:  Based on a popular young adult novel.

                The film is about a young man kidnapped and placed with other males where they have to survive and trying to escape an inescapable maze.  Plot is a little confusing but the young actors are good and there is more to the story and there is a Phase 2!!   The sequel will be even better!! It is worth a look.


THE EQUALIZER
ACTION/DRAMA

PLOT:  Re-imagining of the popular 80’s TV show.

                The movie is loosely based on the TV show of the same name cast Denzel Washington as a man with a set of skills to help ordinary people.  He helps a young girl named Terri (Chole Grace Moretz from Carrie, Hit Girl) who is a hooker in a Russian gang.  The head of the Russian mob gets his fixer Teddy (Marton Csokas, Amazing Spiderman 2) to rid him of Washington.  The acting is good for an action movie.  The moral of the story is don’t mess with Denzel Washington when he goes BADASS!!
