New Movies, New Empires, and Frozen Empires


 

BOB MARLEY ONE LOVE

BIOGRAPHICAL DRAMA

PLOT:    The story about Bob Marley who wrote and sung music to change the world and he did.  It only deals with two years of his short life.

WHAT IS GOOD:  Kinsley Ben-Adir as Marley and his wife Rita Marley (Lashana Lynch, Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange in the Multi-Verse and No Time to Die.)

WHAT IS BAD:  The accents are very thick!  The typical things that happen to a superstar, backstage arguing; agents stealing from him and the stressed out wife singing with him and taking care children that are his and other women.

SHOULD YOU WATCH:  YES!  If you like Bob Marley’s music and find out more about him.


KUNG-FU PANDA 4

3D ANIMATION 

PLOT:   Po, the panda (Jack Black) is now a Spiritual Leader and must pick a new Dragon Warrior while the evil The Chameleon (Viola Davis) wants to be the best martial arts in the world and will use anyone and anything to possess it.

WHAT IS RIGHT:  Jack Black as Po funny as ever and believe or not a great hero.  Awkwaffina is amazing as Zhen, a fox who lived on the streets to survive and of course Viola Davis as the wicked shape-shifter.  The rest of the cast is amazing.

WHAT IS WRONG:  You know Po will make it but it’s still a lot of fun! 

SHOULD YOU WATCH:  YES!!!  It has fighting, fantasy, action and humor!


GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE

SUPERNATURAL COMEDY 

PLOT:   The Spengler family moves to New York to help the original team to stop a creature that freezes everything.

WHAT IS GOOD:  The team of 1984!  Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson.  The new team is good especially Phoebe Spengler (Mckenna Grace), a spunky, smart 15 year old girl who can’t help the Ghost Busters for she is too young.  The new threat is scary.

WHAT IS WRONG:   Too many characters and slows down in the middle.

SHOULD YOU WATCH:  YES!  If you are a fan of the new series of Ghostbusters as well as the old.


GODZILLA X KONG: NEW EMPIRE

ACTION/FANTASY 

PLOT:   King Kong finds out he is not the last of his kind and needs Godzilla’s help!

WHAT IS GOOD:  MONSTER MAYHEM!  There are monsters and monsters that are fighting especially Godzilla and King Kong.  The human supporting cast are not that important but Dan Stevens as Trapper, a Titan veterinarian (!) is fun to watch.

WHAT IS BAD:  If you are a fan of Godzilla he is not in the film that much until the end.

SHOULD YOU WATCH:  OH YESSS!  If you love giant monsters this film is for you.  The ending is worth the price of admission!
