Through a series of daring escapades, young Han Solo meets his future co-pilot Chewbacca and encounters the notorious gambler Lando Calrissian.
All the advance word about this was that it was good but not great. That turned out to be extremely accurate. I don't know if it was released too soon after the last Star Wars movie, if it was too difficult to follow Avengers: Infinity War and Deadpool 2 or if the movie just didn't quite hook audiences enough but it just kind of felt like something was missing. The kid turned out to be pretty good as Han Solo and clearly got better and looked more comfortable as the movie went on. Donald Glover was perfect as Lando Calrissian and there were some great surprises and shout outs to things from Star Wars past. It just was missing more of a hook to have you loving every second like you would expect.
I would still recommend peeps checking this out. It was an enjoyable watch. It was NOT bad. It just wasn't great either.
After draining his life savings to enter a team in the Rucker Classic street ball tournament in Harlem, Dax (Lil Rel Howery) is dealt a series of unfortunate setbacks, including losing his team to his longtime rival (Nick Kroll). Desperate to win the tournament and the cash prize, Dax stumbles upon the man, the myth, the legend UNCLE DREW (NBA All-Star Kyrie Irving) and convinces him to return to the court one more time. The two men embark on a road trip to round up Drew's old basketball squad (Shaquille O’Neal, Chris Webber, Reggie Miller, Nate Robinson, and Lisa Leslie) and prove that a group of septuagenarians can still win the big one.
This movie was a lot more enjoyable than I thought it would be. Only went because it was free tickets but it ended up being a cute movie with plenty of laughs and a lot of heart. Totally formula in every way but much better than I expected.
I would actually recommend peeps checking this out. No rush or anything and it is definitely not a must see but definitely better than expected.
Three years after the destruction of the Jurassic World theme park, Owen Grady and Claire Dearing return to the island of Isla Nublar to save the remaining dinosaurs from a volcano that's about to erupt. They soon encounter terrifying new breeds of gigantic dinosaurs, while uncovering a conspiracy that threatens the entire planet.
This was another carbon copy type of entry in the Jurassic franchise. If you liked the others, you will like this one. Great dinosaur action, great laughs from the characters, and a pretty decent story to keep it moving and set up the "last" chapter in the trilogy. The returning characters were great. The new ones were introduced to the audience well and they even did a great job of giving the dinosaurs some personality which sounds weird to say but it's definitely true.
I would of course recommend people checking this movie out. There is no reason to stop watching them now.
Five years, eight months, 12 days and counting -- that's how long Debbie Ocean has been devising the biggest heist of her life. She knows what it's going to take -- a team of the best people in the field, starting with her partner-in-crime Lou Miller. Together, they recruit a crew of specialists, including jeweler Amita, street con Constance, suburban mom Tammy, hacker Nine Ball, and fashion designer Rose. Their target -- a necklace that's worth more than $150 million.
This was a good idea and a pretty good watch. The only problem is that I was hooked a lot more by the lesser characters than the main ones. Aquafina and Rihanna were pretty much the two most enjoyable characters and I don't know if that's a bad thing or not with them upstaging so many big names. I also feel like they could have killed it with better connected cameos to the other Ocean movies. That would have caused much more buzz and for this movie to stick with people more. Not that it was a bad movie. It was enjoyable for sure. It just didn't resonate as much as it could have honestly.
I would still recommend people check this out. It's a fun watch but felt much more like Ocean's 12 or 13 instead of 11.
When the matriarch of the Graham family passes away, her daughter's family begins to unravel cryptic and increasingly terrifying secrets about their ancestry.
Holy cow!!!! What a creepy ass movie that I was completely not expecting. I figured that this would be an artsy psychological thriller - which it definitely was. But it was done so well (and lets be honest - that is beyond difficult to do nowadays) that I was looking through my fingers at numerous times. There were 4-5 points in this movie where the acting or the scenes will pretty much be etched in my memory forever. It was a very jarring watch due to the acting and the filming style. The camera work in this was AMAZING and made the movie even creepier. This movie is a must see for anyone interested in filmmaking.
I would definitely recommend people checking this movie out. It was an excellent scary movie. One of the better ones I've seen in a long time.
