MIDWAY
HISTORICAL/ACTION
PLOT: A remake of 1976 of the true story of
Midway.
After the Japanese
attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, American soldiers attacked the
Japanese. It was made in 1976 with
Charleston Heston Glenn Ford and countless other older stars and now director
Roland Emmerich of Independence Day and Godzilla 1998. Special effects are amazing and he uses it
well for dramatic effect but it is the cast that shows tragedy and triumph of
the fighters and pilots who risked their lives.
What stood out is Nick Jonas as Bruno Gaido who was a fearless
pilot. Good supporting cast such as
Dennis Quaid, Aaron Eckhart, Luke Evans and Woody Harrleson.
BLACK CHRISTMAS
HORROR/THRILLER
PLOT: The 3rd remake of the 1974
slasher classic with a twist.
The story is the
same, sorority sisters at winter break are stalked by a killer one by one. The “twist” is this version is feminism. The college women fight back! WTF! There are
some things in the film that is weird.
Many fans are upset because the film is PG13-not rated R like many
slasher films. It is trying to get more
of an audience especially young girls.
In the PG13 you don’t see the kills that make slasher movies-they cut
away. The female director Sophia Takal
wants to create suspense but people who love these kinds of films want to see
violent kills! One murder happens in the
beginning then for an hour nothing happens but tells a clichéd story. Near the end things do pick up. This movie should have been
straight-to-video.
FROZEN 2
ANIMATED
PLOT: Elsa finds out how she got her powers in the
sequel.
Elsa hears a siren
in her head and she must go to find out what is calling to her. Her loving
sister Anna and her devoted friends will go to the enchanted forest to help
Elsa. The film is a visual
delight. The music is okay but the funny
and cute Olaf is a wonderful. The film
is for all ages who like adventure, comedy and music. It is a MUST see.
