1917

Able to get an early view of the movie 1917... about two British soldiers in WWI who are tasked with delivering a message to cancel an order to attack. If they don't deliver, a battalion of the British Army is doomed to death.

Liked the movie... noticed a couple of actors from the Game of Thrones were in the movie! Do check it out. For more, see IMDB!

Knives Out

Happy Thanksgiving  Just got back from watching Knives Out with a host of actors and actresses that are readily recognized! That said, lots of twist and turns before the reveal is revealed.

Won't go in to much detail... for more see IMDB. For now, this one is a First Date Movie! Don't miss this one. It's over two hours but did not drag... no spoilers here. Go see it!

Ford Vs Ferrari

Matt Damon and Christian Bale make a great team in the true story of Ford's quest to beat Ferrari in the "24 Hours of Le Mans" race. Matt plays Carroll Shelby - race car driver, designer, and team lead for Shelby Racing, and Christian Bale plays Kevin Miles - race car driver, designer, and mechanic for Carroll.

Great movie,... did not know the rivalry as well as inter-rivalry in the Ford Company.  Do see this one a the movies! Earns a First Date Movie Rating!

Stuber

Dave Bautista and Kumail Nanijani team up in an action comedy where Dave plays a policeman and Kumail is an Uber Driver. Through a turn of events, Dave hires an Uber because he cannot drive to track down a killer.

Funny moments and lots of action. Okay to wait for a rainy day to rent; entertaining but would chose other movies on a sunny day!

Midway 2019

Another version of the battle of Midway. This one focuses more on the Bomber Squadron and the Intel Team that played a key role in winning the battle.

Good movie, do check it out!

Zombieland 2

Sequel to Zombieland with all the same players. Older and more a family unit that has its issues.

Funny movie with great Zombie action. If you liked the first one, you will like this one!

Joker 2019

Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker shows the origin of the Comic Villain in a more violent manner than last movies. Some may like it and others  may not... Had to see it to form an opinion.

Hold as a first date movie but do see it to make your own decision!

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Quentin Tarantino directs a movie about late 60s's Hollywood. Leonardo Dicaprio is an aging star, Brad Pitt is his stunt double and close friend. Together, they come to terms with issues have a "has been" lead actor.

Tarantino spins things with Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski where in this version a happier ending results from a run in with the Manson Family Cult.

Was pleasantly surprised to be entertained by this movie; glad to have seen it at the Movie Theater! See more at IMDB.

Good Boys 2019

Early preview of this one. Lots of funny parts but not a first date movie. Lots of cursing by tweens. If you are okay with it and Seth Rogen movies, check  it out!

"Invited to his first kissing party, 12-year-old Max asks his best friends Lucas and Thor for some much-needed help on how to pucker up. When they hit a dead end, Max decides to use his father's drone to spy on the teenage girls next door. When the boys lose the drone, they skip school and hatch a plan...."

Shape of Water

Been meaning to watch this one. Watched it finally... Liked it! Going to look for more movies with Sally Hawkins. Did a great job in a role that required no speaking!

Yesterday... Good One!

Got to see an early showing of this movie. Yesterday is about an aspiring musician who is not having much success until he is hit by a bus!

When he wakes in the hospital, he soon learns after that no one knows about the Beatles and their songs!

Good one, a definite first date movie!

Ps... Burger and Fries plus an Ice-eee make it all good!

Always a John Wick fan, this one in the franchise did not disappoint! Anticipating a sequel too! Plus got some tasty eats while at the Movies... Pizza, Pop Corn, and a Chicago Dog and a tasty Swirl Margarita!

Aquaman

Another movie about comic book heroes and a teaser at the end to confirm a sequel is forthcoming. That said, liked it! Has the Game of Thrones "big guy" playing Aquaman. And, Nicole Kidman plays a part to as an Atlantis Queen. Check it out and rent it some time!

Glass

Marvel comics sequel to Split and Unbreakable... has James McAvoy and his multiple personalities aka "the Horde", Samuel Jackson with his genius but scheming ways and the same broken bones, and Bruce Willis and his super hero strength.

All come together in Glass... good movie and twist and turns made for entertainment. Lotta time spent in the asylum... won't say more but bummer on the ending. See more on IMDB.

Star is Born 2018 #firstdatemovie

PS: Icee and Pizza... perfect combo for dinner and a movie!

Music from Another Room #firstdate #movie

Watched this one from Amazon Prime. Movie Jude Law and Gretchen Mol. They meet as children... newborn child in one instance. Later meet as young adults and a promise is kept to marry made by one of the two at child birth! Cool movie... easily a first date movie!  See more at IMDB!

Mission Impossible - The Fallout

Lots of twist and turns in Tom Cruise's most recent Mission Impossible. Good guys and bad guys with lots of bumps and bruises all around make for a great action movie. Liked this one as much as we liked the last one which was lots! Do check it out when you get a chance!

Equalizer 2

Denzel is back in the sequel Equalizer 2. Lots of bad guys getting in trouble, bummer on good guys lost...but always a good thing when the Equalizer is on site! Liked this one; do check it out! See more at IMDB

12 Strong

Had the DVD but kept missing on watching it. Finally, did and liked it. Interesting that is a true movie that has US Soldiers fighting bad guys on horseback. Chris Hemsworth and others make for an entertaining movie! See more at IMDB.

Mama Mia 2... "Here We Go Again"

If you like the first one and can go with corny movies and musicals that have the actors breakout in song throughout the movie, then you should be good to go with this one. Same cast and characters with a missing someone that we won't say and an added someone else that we won't say either.

Safe First Date Movie, enjoyed this one! Plus... always been an ABBA fan! For more see IMDB

Sicario: Day of Soldado #sicario2

Sequel to Sicario that has lots of action and ties drug cartels to terrorism. Great movie with Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro and others returning for round two! Would not say it's a first date movie. But, would recommend seeing it if you liked the first movie. Lots of action with shooting and bad guys dying! For more see IMDB.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Another in the Jurassic franchise that brings back Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard to the world with Dinosaurs. Not been following the franchise, having watched only Jurassic Park and now this movie... lots of catching up to do, but still able to follow along and enjoy the movie. Always like Chris Pratt's movies including this one! Consider this one a first date movie... see more at IMDB.

Tag

Just finished watching the Tag movie at the theater. Movie about a group of guys playing tag into adulthood. Funny movie; really liked it. Liked it even more knowing it is based on a true story! See more on IMDB.

Solo: A Star Wars Story

Another in the Star Wars franchise is Solo... to bring in Hans Solo's character. Not a big Star Wars fan but did like this one. Glad to have watched it at the movies instead of rented it. Do check it out! For more see IMDB. 

Adrift

True story that has a young couple lost at sea with no power... adrift! While crossing the ocean delivering a sailboat for an elderly couple, a hurricane crosses the young couple's path, damaging the sailboat... no engine, no sails... save for a makeshift jib.

Good movie with some interesting things to observer while the couple... more the woman than man, deal with survival at sea! The man is injured and unable to assist. Do check it out; for more see IMDB.

Dead Pool 2 #deadpool

Saw the first one liked it; saw the second one liked it, too. Ryan Reynolds and his one liners were hilarious. Add the ending credit scene, and all things come together...including the Green Lantern mistake! LOL!

While there, had to have a Waffle Cone Gelato!

Life of the Party

Movie with Melissa McCarthy as a Mom who goes back to college to complete here degree after her husband divorces her. She goes back to the same college she dropped out of after her daughter was born. Turns out it's the same college her daughter is enrolled in!

Funny moments, and a little twist and turns to keep you entertained. Would hold as a first date movie for two reasons... divorce for a budding relationship may not be good message and overall, felt it was more a rental for a rainy day, then one to see in theaters.

For more, see it at IMDB.

The Avengers - Infinity War #avengers #marvelcomics

Checked out The Avengers - Infinity War. Long movie but still good if you are a franchise fan of the Avengers. Lots of twists and turns and heroes dying... that said, there are movies planned for the future, so don't think they are all dead, yet.  Plus, the comment made by Dr. Strangelove hints towards an explanation of what happened in this movie. Bottom-line: If you are a Marvel Fan, all is well.  If not, then okay to wait for the DVD.

PS: There is a short-snippet at the end... the very end, of the credits.

The Commuter

Liam Neeson as an ex-cop turned Insurance Salesman who gets fired. On his way home, he is offered an opportunity to makes some money... find someone on the train and kill them. Good movie but had some slow spots.

Jumanji - Welcome to the Jungle #firstdatemovie

Pleasant surprise to this sequel to Jumanji! This starts off in 1996 and takes up again in 2017. Great cast and story line. Liked how they transitioned this one to the 21st Century. Safe first date movie... do rent it when you get the chance!
