Boys, Hogs and Broken Hearts




SONIC THE HEDEGHOG
ACTION/FANTASY

PLOT:    Based on the popular video game from Sega.

                Sonic (voiced by Ben Schwartz) is a fast, blue hedgehog from another planet who loves earth-especially where he landed at Green Hills, Montana. Tom (James Marsden) is a cop who is tired of his small town.  Sonic and Tom meet and become friends after Sonic causes a big blackout and the government sends Dr. Ivo Robotnick (Jim Carrey) who is a goofy, genius villain who wants Sonic to dissect him.  The movie is funny, cute and heartwarming.  It is one of the better video games turned into a movie.

THE PHOTOGRAPH
ROMANCE/DRAMA

PLOT:    Two successful black but broken people want to date.

                Michael (Lakeith Stanfield) is a hard working writer but wants more and Mae (Issa Rae) finds out about her ambitious mother Christina (Chante Adams) who wanted to be a photographer in New York.  Both don’t have a great record of staying with their partners but they try to stay together.  Love is complicated and it shows on screen for it slow for some boring for others but emotional packed –not action packed.  The two best actors in the movie are Chante Adams and Lil Rel Howery who is very funny.  It is great for black couples who want to see black love on screen for a change.

BRAHMS THE BOY 2
HORROR

PLOT:    Sequel to the The Boy.


                Liza (Katie Holmes) has a husband and a young child named Jude (Christopher Convery).  They are a happy family until two burglars attack Liza and Jude saw the entire thing.  They move to the Heelshire house and Jude finds Brahms, the creepy doll.  OMG!  The movie is shorter but still feels so long for nothing happens.  There are a few jump scares but it is very boring.  I did not even know this was released!  This should have been direct-to-video!
