Thelma: Delightfully Funny
I like different, especially in movies. I’m always looking for something that’s going to be entertaining but add a different point of view. When I heard about Thelma, I was excited because in this film, the main hero is an elderly woman. When I got the chance to watch the film, I found it as…
“The Fall Guy” Thumbs up Action and Fun

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare: Flawlessly Executed
I love Guy Ritchie’s films. I had a friend who loved heist films and got me into his movies. Suffice to say, I’m always entertained when I watch one of Guy Ritchie’s films.

In this film, the spy is played by Kaley with David Oyelowo playing the trusting husband. While much of the film is what you expect, there…
“The Beekeeper”: Mesmerizing Action
I like action films. I also like Jason Statham. He had a tendency to give us films with explosive action that are thrill rides. “The Beekeeper” perfectly encapsulates Statham’s strengths, giving us a thrill packed film with mesmerizing action, an interesting plot premise and witty repartee along with a side helping of pointed commentary on…
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes: Powerful Acting
With the phenomenon that is The Hunger Games, I have to be honest, I watched some of the other films but they didn’t really catch on with me. When I watched the trailer for The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, it was different. I was captivated by the cast, with some amazing performers like Peter…
