GET OUT
HORROR/THRILLER
PLOT: Successful black male meets his white
girlfriend’s parents with scary results.
Chris (Daniel Kaluuya, Johnny
English Reborn) is very much in love with Rose (Allison Williams, Girls HBO
series) a pretty white woman. They are
getting serious and Rose wants him to meet her parents. He is nervous for her folks doesn’t know he
is African-American. He goes anyway even
when his good friend Rod (LilRel Howery, a stand-up comic) advises him not to go. Big mistake for he starts seeing things that
are very unsettling with the black maid and gardener. He finally finds out what is going on and it
is frightening! Some people think it is
slow because it is building to a creepy climax. There is a lot going on in this
film. All the actors are great-especially Howery who is much needed comic
relief and director Jordon Peele (part of Key and Peele-the one with the
glasses who does skit comedy on Comedy Central) does a great job.
LOGAN
ACTION/SCI-FI
PLOT:
The final chapter of Wolverine.
Logan (Hugh Jackman) is older
and the adamantium is killing him yet he takes a job as a chauffeur and takes
care of an ailing Professor X (Patrick Stewart). A mysterious woman begs him to take a young
girl Laura (Dafne Keen) to the Canadian border and they are endless hunted by the
military to get the Laura back.
OMG! This is not a POPCORN
MOVIE! There is humor but it is bloody,
dark and grim. It is a slow pace but
when there is action it is a messy. It
is rated R for a very good reason.
Jackman is good for he can be human and horrifying too. Keen mostly has a scowl on her face and when
you watch the movie you will know why.
See it if you like Wolverine for Hugh Jackman says it’s his
last(?). If he did he ended it on a high
but sad note.
KONG SKULL ISLAND
ACTION/ADVENTURE/SCI-FI
PLOT: In
1973 scientists and military go to an island that doesn’t exit and finds
monsters.
First, let me say King Kong is
not my favorite giant monster until I saw this movie! He is seen more than my favorite giant monster
Godzilla 2014. King Kong in 1933 is 25
feet, this one is 100 feet. The people
are expendable but they do what they can.
No one is going to see this epic movie for acting. The monster action is AMAZING and the finale
is FANTASTIC!!! If the upcoming film
Godzilla Vs King Kong is as good as this-shut up and take my money! Giant monsters fans REJOICE!. Stay for the extra footage.
