New Film Review: Solo

Image result for solo movie

SOLO
4 out of 5 stars

It is a fun exciting film. With many winks to past films..12 parsecs!!!!
Well acted. It delivers.
Problems:
3/4 of the film is dark. Not in theme but in darkness or fog. It really is hard to see what is happening very often. I kept wondering...Howard came in to redo most of the film...was his budget tight and used fog and darkness to save on special effects?
Well anyway, wonderful start to a new trilogy!!

OVERBOARD
3 out of 5 stars

You get exactly what you pay for with this film.
Laughs...happy ending.
Well acted by two of the best underrated comedians in Faris and Derbez.
Got a little long and kind of sloppy at the end...but worked.

DEADPOOL 2
4 1/2 OUT OF 5 STARS
Best film of the year so far.
SOOOO FUNNY!
Yes the story is very choppy, but just go with it. It is a comedy. So many funny lines!

New Film Review: Book Club

BOOK CLUB
2 OUT 5 STARS

I will break it down:
Jane Fonda and Don Johnson-Boring story. However Johnson was likable.
Mary Steenburgen and Craig T Nelson-awkward story and no chemistry
Candice Burgen-I like her but why did they not keep her with Richard Dreyfus?  He disappeared.
Diane Keaton and Andy Garcia-Best story. Both wonderful. Great chemistry.
Great stars weak writing.

LIFE OF THE PARTY

Yikes.
I wanted to love it.
It is awkward.
Writing is bad.
Almost felt embarrassed for all involved.
Wanted to laugh more.
I guess its harmless.

New Film Review: Rampage

RAMPAGE
2 out of 5 stars

So much CGI I never felt anyone was in danger. Just not real.
Love "Rock" Johnson, however here, the leads have no character development and made then kind of boring.
