FAST AND FURIOUS PRESENTS HOBBS AND SHAW
ACTION/ADVENTURE
PLOT: Hobbs and Shaw must work together to save the world.
Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Shaw (Jason Statham) who don’t like each other must save Shaw’s sister Hattie (Vanessa Kirby), a M16 agent from dying from a poison that can wipe out the world. The story is insane and so is the action. What makes it really funny is the macho bickering between the two leads. In the previous Fast and Furious they were fighting each other so if you seen those you know what I mean. The evil, black superman Brixton (Idris Elba) is great as a bad guy. If you like the Fast and Furious franchise, Johnson and Stratham you will enjoy this movie!
SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK
HORROR
PLOT: In 1968 on Halloween a group of teens are trapped in a haunted house and they find a book that tells their deaths.
Sarah Bellows was a lonely child who wrote frightening tales of the macabre but none was as scary as her own disturbed story. Years later a group of teens for Halloween go to a so called haunted house-the Bellows and a young girl who loves horror picks up a book written by Sarah. Bad idea! Not only did she write previous stories; she is now writing stories that come to life and the group has to find out the truth about Sarah Bellows before all are killed. You have seen this before but this film is not scary as it is creepy!!! The special effects help very much and the teens are very good actors. They should have release this near Halloween. If you enjoy anthologies and horror you will enjoy this.
DORA AND THE LOST CITY OF GOLD
COMEDY/ACTION/ADVENTURE
PLOT: Based on the cartoon series Dora The Explorer
Dora (Isabela Moner) grew up in the jungle most of her life now has to go to high school while her parents (Eva Longoria and Michael Pena) are on a dangerous journey to go to the legend of Parapata where there is gold treasure. It is very cute and Moner is great as Dora, a teenaged, Latina Lara Croft. She is brave, upbeat fearless and smart. Comic actor Eugenio Derbez as the bad guy Alejandro is good. Go if you like the series even though she is a teenager.
