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!

Tomb Raider 2018

Although Angelina Jolie was not in this movie, her replacement did well. More prequel to the others Lara Croft movies, this one did not disappoint. Liking it! Glad to see this one at the theater instead of waiting for the DVD!

Red Sparrow

Just got back from the movies. Saw Red Sparrow... Been reading the book but decided to see it to get an early jump on tHe book. Have a ways to go but picked up differences already in the movie. Still was a good movie, liked Jennifer Lawrence and others... Lots of twists and turns plus several painful scenes where blood is spilled. Glad to have seen it instead of waiting for the DVD!

Blade Runner 2049

Sequel to the original Blade Runner that has a few twist and turns to think about. Great cast with Ryan Gosling, Jared Leto, and hottie Ana De Armas. Also, has Harrison Ford that adds the twist to the plot! Liked the movie; had to watch the original first before watching it, just to refresh my memory of the story line. For more see IMDB.

Only Living Boy in New York

Really liked this one with lots of twists in turns in a love triangle movie with lots of great actors... Jeff Bridges, Pierce Brosnan, Kate Beckinsale... and a lead played by Callum Turner. Do check this one out! For more, see IMDB

PS: Like one of the songs in the movie....

Foreigner

Jackie Chan in a different role... more serious than other movies he is in. Did a great job playing the grieving father... timid and sorrowful on the outside but a total bad ass! See more at IMDB

Snatched

Rented this one and was pleasantly surprised! Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn team together in a movie about a daughter and mother on vacation but something goes wrong... funny stuff. For more see IMDB

What If

Liking this one.. "What If" with Harry Potter - Daniel Radcliffe and Zoe Kazan from "The Big Sick". Won't go into detail other than I liked it... for more, see IMDB.

The Girl on the Train

This one has Emily Blunt playing an alcoholic ex-wife who has been "stalking" on our ex-husband and his new wife. Starts out slow but picks up, and then the action moves quickly to an end that makes sense... check it out on a rainy day and rent it. For more, see IMDB

Soul Assasin

Gutted through this one while working out on the treadmill. Movie that has the main character dealing with twists and turns related to a company he works for... surprises here and there, and lots of shooting but still felt the movie was lacking something. Would not recommend as a first date movie; would recommend skipping it. For more see IMDB.

Manchester By the Sea

Watched this one while working out on the treadmill. Pleasant surprise about a hard luck story of the lead played by Casey Affleck. Issues with own marriage after a tragic accident, then later more issues with his brother's death. For more see IMDB....

Passengers

Been enjoying the Amazon Prime movies... watched this one while doing the morning workouts. Passengers with Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence is about traveling to a new planet and starting a new life... except to get there you have to be housed in life pods to suspend your aging because it takes a 120 years to get there. Chris is forced out of his pod early, lives alone for a year, then frees Jennifer from her pod... for more see IMDB. Do check it out when you get a chance!

Steve Jobs (2013)

Movie with Ashton Kutcher playing the role of Steve Jobs. Shows the start of Apple Computers, some issues encountered along the way, and ending with success circa iPod release timeframe. Overall, entertaining movie with Ashton doing a great job playing Jobs! Glad to have watched this one! For more, see IMDB.

Off Piste

Good movie saw it on a whim. Interesting story line with a twist and turn to throw you. Off Piste is french for off the ski run which makes sense since the movie is set in an area of the French Alps that is away from the more popular ski resorts. See more at IMDB.

Sicario

Watched this one because it was on the recommended list from watching Shot Caller. So glad I did. Great movie with lots of shooting and good guys taking down bad guys. Do check this one out! For more see IMDB. PS: Sicario2 comes out in June 2018!

Shot Caller

Liked this one... watched it on a whim because Game of Thrones actor playing Jamie Lannister was featured. Through a series of events our lead is convicted and sent to prison where he soon must deal with prison life. Somehow he rises above the rest and does his time... good movie with a surprise end that worked for us! For more see IMDB.
