SmokerJumpers, Car Racers and RedRummers

PLAYING WITH FIRE

COMEDY

PLOT:    Smokejumpers save three mischievous kids and has to take care of them.

                Jake (John Cena) and his crew save three children.  Jake is by the book fireman but he has to let the kids stay with them until the parents come.  It has much slapstick and toilet humor but the movie is about taking care of what is really important: family.  It is cute if you like former wrestler John Cena, Keegan-Michael Key, John Leguizamo and Tyler Mane as his partners at work.

FORD VS. FERRARI

DRAMA

PLOT:    Two men changed the LeMans, France in 1966 car racing forever.

                Carroll Shelby (Mark Damon) is a car designer who is charismatic, idealistic and has to deal with the egos of the big bosses and Ken Miles (Christian Bale) is the mechanic, driver and crash dummy to reinvent racing cars.  Damon and Bale two Oscar winners also help bring the characters to life.  Even if you don’t know anything about cars you will enjoy this movie for you care about the characters and the problems they must overcome to bring their vision to life.

DOCTOR SLEEP

HORROR

PLOT:    The sequel to The Shining.

                Dan Torrance(Ewan McGregor) is now an adult still frightened by the events when he was child but confront his demons when he helps  a teen named Abra Stone(Kyliegh Curran) who has the “shining” to stop a supernatural cult led by Rose The Hat(Rebecca Ferguson) to kidnap children to inhale their “shining essence” to remain immortal.  OMG this film is slow and strange.  The movie takes it time and it does become interesting.  It is based on the book by the same name by Stephen King.  I did not read the book so as you know Hollywood changes many things.  If you like the The Shining you will enjoy this and the performances by McGregor, Curran and Ferguson are not bad.
