THE INCREDIBLES 2

-
   After 14 long years, The Incredibles are back. But what took them so long?
THE INCREDIBLES 2 picks up seconds after the first one ended-The Incredibles about to fight The Underminer. One thing we do learn right off the bat is that the story didn't stop at the original's ending. This second entry of the beloved superhero family starts off with a frantic pace and never lets up. That's a good thing. A really good thing.
   Is the second better than the first? Yes and No. There are things I really can't talk about because they are most definitely spoilers that could ruin your enjoyment of this film. I can tell you that writer /director Brad Bird has come up with a plot and story that is as complicated and deeper than the first one. It also has a faster pace than the first one. Those are all really good things. The one aspect I enjoyed most about The Incredibles 2 is the family aspect. Not only can I relate to it as a Father, but I found scenes in the movie that played out almost exactly the same way in my household. Another thing that I loved about this one is Michael Giacchino's score. He matches Brad Bird's fast-paced story with a score that is energetic and fun.
 Like I said earlier, there's not much I can tell you about The Incredibles 2 without ruining some aspect of the film for you, so I won't even bother. It is safe to say that if you loved the first one then you'll more than likely love this one.
  I give The Incredibles 2 an A. One of the best of the year. A Must See.

Movie Review: DADDY'S HOME 2

   Movies like DADDY'S HOME 2 are made for two things- to entertain and to make people laugh. That is exactly what this sequel to the hit DADDY'S HOME succeeds in doing. Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg return as Brad and Dusty, co-dad's to Sara's(Linda Cardellini) two children, as well as much of the original cast. To recap the first one, Brad (Ferrell) is the step-dad to Sara's(Cardellini) two children who finds himself competing with the real Dad, Dusty(Walhberg) for the title of Dad.   With DADDY's HOME 2, we get the Grandfathers added to the mix. Mel Gibson as Dusty's Dad, Kurt and John Lithgow as Brad's Dad, Don. Gibson is stunt casting while Lithgow's performance is indicative of his award-winning career. Lithgow plays a comedic role in dramatic fashion. It could be the other way around as well. One of the things had a problem with in this movie is Gibson's performance, which I found to be a lackluster performance. It as if Gibson is just

Movie Review: WINCHESTER (PG-13)

-

      WINCHESTER tells the tale of Sarah Winchester (playing convincingly by Helen Mirren) and the infamous mansion she built (with help from construction people, of course) for years on end. She claims that her mansion is haunted by the ghosts of people who died from the Winchester rifle and is determined to turn her vast estate into a prison for the ghouls. Enter Doctor Eric Price (played well by Jason Clarke of  Dawn of the Planet of the Apes), who is hired to do a phycological evaluation on Mrs.Winchester to prove whether or not she is of sound mind.   The film unfolds at a steady pace, clocking in at 99 minutes and long enough not to wear out it's welcome. One can easily predict how the story will play out. It's your standard, run of the mill haunted house thriller that breaks no new ground in the genre.The Spierig Brothers(Michael and Peter)manage to create a watchable and somewhat entertaining film that is good for passing the time. This film doesn't come anywhere
