What is the film about? Do you really have to ask? Ok, fine. A Big, Bad Villain from the deepest parts of the Universe sets out to collection the 6 Infinity Gems. Once he gets his hands on these mystical and powerful gems, he plans on wiping out half of the universe. Who can possibly stop him? Well, who do you think? The Earth's Mightiest Avengers along with the help of The Guardians of The Galaxy. That's who. Do I need to see any of the previous Marvel films before I see this? It sure would help understand things better. There is very little exposition in the film, unless it has to do with Thanos and the Infinity Gems. Otherwise, the filmmakers assume you know all the major players and everything they've been through up to now. There is no backtracking here. Do people die in this film unlike in most Marvel films? (Minor Spoiler!!!!!) Yes. The Powers that be finally deliver consequences that amount to something here. That is all I will say. How long is the film? ...

   Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen I appreciate those who take their time out to read my movie reviews. I am looking for feedback. I recently started a new type of review that I call Q&A Movie Reviews. Have you read the two I recently wrote? If so, do you like the style versus the traditional style movie review? What do you think about the reviews in general? Any feedback you are willing to give me will be quite helpful when writing future reviews. Feel free to post in the comment section below and share with me your thoughts.   Thank you for your time.

What is the film about? Set in the future, ISLE OF DOGS tells the story of a boys search for his dog, who was just one of many dogs exiled on an island of garbage after a dog flue breakout sweeps Japan. After the boy crashes on the island, he encounters a pack of dogs who help him search for his missing dog. Is it written and directed by artsy fartsy filmmaker Wes Anderson? Yes, it is. Wes Anderson is similar to Woody Allen in the sense that his films do not attract a mainstream moviegoing audience. Mr.Anderson is hit or miss with me. His latest film and his second animated feature after THE FANTASTIC MR.FOX, is a hit with me. Is this a film for children? That depends on the intellect of the child. I doubt small children will sit still for long enough to immerse themselves in this often awkward style of storytelling. Middle school children and up might find something to like about in this film. I hear it's different from today's animated films. How so? The film us...

What is the film about? BLOCKERS tells the story of three teenage girls who make a pact to lose their virginity on Prom Night. Complications ensue when the parents find out the plan via text messaging. Is this movie funny? Film is subjective and ultimately up to the individual to decide what is funny or not. For me, I found the movie to be funny in a very uncomfortable way. I'm not a fan of raunchy sex comedies, so I was somewhat surprised when I found myself laughing for much of the movie. One big reason for me is that I could relate to the parents and where their need to control things gets out of hand in comedic fashion. What is John Cena doing in this movie? You read that right. WWE wrestler John Cena is one of the stars of the film and does a fantastic job of showing his comedic side. He is a scene stealer in this film. Can I take my mother to see this? Depends if your Mother like raunchy sex comedies and if you are comfortable watching raunchy sex comedie...

         BLOCKERS is an ultra-raunchy sex comedy about three parents who learn that their teenage daughters plan on losing their virginity on Prom Night.The film stars John Cena, Leslie Mann, and Ike Barinholtz as the three parents. The three have a good comedic chemistry that carries much of this surprisingly funny movie. It's also crude and vulgar at times, which is a stumbling block for me. For those who don't like this type of comedy, I issue a strong warning-know what you like and dislike in movie watching. I felt guilty at laughing at some of the stuff. I also found myself relating heavily to three parents, as they find themselves spying on their daughters on one of the biggest nights of their young lives. The three young ladies are also worth mentioning here. Kathryn Newton, Gideon Alden, and Geraldine Viswanathan turn in good work as the often foul-mouthed girls who are finding their way through today's world. Director Kay Cannon does a...

                      ADAM'S RIB starring Spencer Tracy and Kathern Hepburn is considered a classic in cinematic film history. It tells the story of husband and wife attorneys Adam and Amanda Bonner who find themselves on opposite sides of an attempted murder trial. Amanda defends a housewife who shot her husband after catching in the act of having an affair. The question that is put worth is whether or not the wife, played by Judy Holliday, was justified in shooting her husband.                  ADAM'S RIB, directed by George Cukor is an uneven comedy that features amazing chemistry between Tracy and Hepburn. There is no denying that these two had a rare onscreen chemistry that translated into movie magic. They are much better than the movie itself. A woman's place in the world is as timely an issue now as it was almost 70 years ago. The film as a whole did not register with ...

          RAMPAGE is the film adaptation of the 80's video game that I don't remember playing as a teenager. It tells the story of a gorilla named George who is infected with a deadly pathogen (aka a virus) that ends up making him a giant along with two other animals. Dwayne (THE ROCK) Johnson stars as Primatologist Davis Okoye. He runs the gorilla exhibit at the San Deigo Zoo (if I'm not mistaken). Once George escapes, it's up to Davis and Geneticist Dr.Kate Caldwell (Naomie Harris) to bring George back to safety. However, the U.S. Military and Jeffrey Dean Morgan are hot on George's trail with the intent to destroy George and the other two giant animals.       RAMPAGE reunites Johnson and director Brad Peyton for their third collaboration. The previous two films being JOURNEY 2 and SAN ANDREAS. The film offers the moviegoer his or her chance to leave their brains in the car and suspend disbelief for nearly two hours and just h...
