Really enjoyed this one. Infused with humor and some fine performances (particularly Mia Goth), this Jane Austen based story is entertaining and witty. Worth seeing again and again!
Filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen (RAISING ARIZONA, FARGO) create a complex and graphic vision of gangsterism set during Prohibition and featuring a riveting rouges gallery of killers and con men. Leo (Albert Finney), a likeable Irish gangster boss, rules an Eastern city along with Tom (Gabriel Byrne), his trusted lieutenant and counselor. But just as their authority is challenged by an Italian underboss (Jon Polito) and his ruthless henchman (J.E. Freeman), Leo and Tom also fall for the same woman (Marcia Gay Harden). Tom, caught in the jaws of a gangland power struggle, walks a deadly tightrope as he tries to control and manipulate it's violent outcome.

Maybe this movie could serve as an educational film, but for entertainment---I found it a bit strained. Too implausible and running off the story line, becoming a bit fragmented and the "alternate" ending should have been included in the film---that could at least given it more impact and a more satisfying conclusion. It has some redeeming value, but overall it misses the mark.

Weak, mostly unlikely if not unbelievable storyline here. Acting is not very good from any of the players. None of the characters (save maybe one) is worth pulling for in this one, as it's about stolen money, greed and betrayal, and to top it off, the ending is flat and somewhat disappointing. Just not a good movie----even for it's genre.
Go deep undercover in this hilarious action-comedy with an all-star cast including Zach Galifianakis, Jon Hamm, Isla Fisher and Gal Gadot. An ordinary suburban couple finds it's not easy keeping up with the Joneses - their impossibly attractive and ultrasophisticated new neighbors - especially when they discover Mr. And Mrs. Jones are covert spies embroiled in international espionage.

Entertaining comedy/action combo. Nothing special about this one, but it doesn't run off the tracks either. Delivers an entertaining story and Gal Gadot is pre "Wonder Woman" here and showing her "action" acting chops. Overall, an enjoyable movie.
The Jumanji video gamers and their adventurous avatars (Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan) return in this action-packed sequel. This time, the game is on the fritz, players inhabit different characters, and two old geezers (Danny DeVito and Danny Glover) get sucked into the world of Jumanji, all of which makes for an even wilder ride that leads to the ultimate boss fight with sinister villain Jurgen the Brutal (Rory McCann). With Nick Jonas, Alex Wolff. 123 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

Great sequel! Once again the players find themselves back in the game and this time a couple of unwitting old guys are taken in as well. Danny DeVito is great, but his avatar persona inside the game turns in a howling comedic performance. A must see!
Blu-ray + Digital. While serving detention, four teens discover a 16-bit video game called Jumanji in their school's basement. Transported inside the game's jungle world, the kids are each assigned an avatar-a muscle-bound explorer (Dwayne Johnson), a pudgy cartographer (Jack Black), a diminutive zoologist (Kevin Hart), and a beautiful martial artist (Karen Gillan)-and must survive a series of dangerous adventures in order to get back to the real world. Exciting follow-up to the 1995 hit also stars Nick Jonas, Bobby Cannavale. 119 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

SIMPLE FAVOR, directed by Paul Feig, centers around Stephanie (Anna Kendrick), a mommy vlogger who seeks to uncover the truth behind her best friend Emily's (Blake Lively) sudden disappearance from their small town.

Interesting blend of comedy and drama in this one. Blake Lively shows once again she has a wide dynamic acting talent, and Anna Kendrick is delightful as the suburban mom with a devilish ability behind the angelic halo she shows the world. Fun movie with several unexpected plot twists and turns and a good surprise ending that will leave you with a smile----but not a "warm and fuzzy" kind of smile!

A good remake of the original which starred Charles Bronson, this is actually a better made film and Bruce Willis is excellent in the title role. Well known story remains fresh and entertaining and vengeance is as sweet as ever!
