Summer Has Fallen in Hollywood, Ready Or Not

ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD

DRAMA

PLOT:    Aging actor of the 50s trying to stay relevant.

                Rick Dalton ( Leo DiCaprio)  was a star of TV show Bounty Law and his stunt double Cliff (Brad Pitt) who is also his assistant and a good friend.  As he gets older roles become less and he becomes a villain on TV shows.  Dalton also lives next door to Sharon Tate, the infamous actress who became famous not because of talent but Charles Manson cult followers killed her.  DiCaprio and Pitt are great as friends and despite the subject matter they are very funny.  Margot Robbie is Tate but she has little to do.  The acting was amazing but who stood out was Dakota Fanning as Squeaky Fromme.  She was like a time bomb ready to attack anyone.  The ending is a violent mess but it is not what you think.  Hint:  Remember the title.  If you like Quentin Tarantino you will enjoy this movie.

READY OR NOT

HORROR/COMEDY

PLOT:    Young bride has to survive the night with her husband’s family.

                Grace (Samara Weaving) is so happy to get married into a rich family, the LeDomas who are rich because they create games.  There is a game Grace has to play –Hide and Seek but she must be hunted down before dawn or ALL the family members will die!  Grace has to play nasty and do what she can to make it before dawn.  OMG it is frightening and funny too.  Weaving who looks so much like actress Margot Robbie is creepy.  She is tough and resourceful too.  If you like horror and slasher movies this is for you.

ANGEL HAS FALLEN

ACTION/THRILLER

PLOT:    Secret Service Agent Mike Banning is framed for murder of the President.

                Mike Banning(Gerald Butler) is getting older, has insomnia, a beautiful baby and other problems but when he is framed for killing Trumbell, (Morgan Freedman) the President of the United States he uses his skills to dodge the FBI and other agents to find out who and why they framed him.  This is the 3^rd film of the series and it is full of action.  You find out early who the villains are before the end but there are surprises still.  If you like the two films before this one YOU will enjoy this one.
