47 Meters Down (2017)

ONE YEAR LATER AND I STILL ENJOY THIS MOVIE

[6/10 · 9 June 2018]

I actually caught this in the theater and again a year later at home. Reviews are mixed with this film, but I actually enjoyed this movie. Mandy Moore's acting is always a breath of fresh air and Claire Holt didn't have trouble carrying the film along. Yes it's a shark movie, but what makes this flick a stand out, is the fact the sharks aren't the only threat to the girls survival. It got a few jumps and a sudden episode of claustrophobia from me. Which I guess is a good thing. Moore's freaky smile in the end makes one lasting impression but one burning question though for me is... WHERE THE HELL DID THE SHARKS DISAPPEAR TO IN THE FINAL RESCUE SCENE ?!?

Ocean's Eight (2018)

THIS IS FOR THE LITTLE GIRLS WHO INSPIRE TO BECOME A CRIMINAL

[7/10 · 9 June 2018]

Just what the doctor prescribed; a charmingly clever good time w/ an all female leading cast. Exactly what we need more of in today's society. Each lady had their fair shot to shine. Though the real gems new to the overly popular franchise were the perfect pairing of Ann Hathaway and Helena Botham Carter. Hathaway, my personal modern day Julia Roberts, proves again how versatile of an actor she truly is. Receiving most of the film's biggest laughs from the audience in attendance. Carter is just pure genius ! And her few solo scenes with Mindy Kaling had us begging for more. Sandy Bullocks portrayal of the leader of the pact was surprisingly laid back and chill. Still proving to be current at the box office and on the top of her game. Rihanna and Awkwafina shined along side their A-list costars. Both playing the more hipster roles of the group. The Pop Star even got a round of applause when her character switched up her usual get-up for a Met Gala look. The last time a professional singer got an applause in a movie, she was being kicked down a flight of stairs by Ali Larter. Cate Blanchett and Sara Paulson are just Hollywood gold. Both ladies help the film and can never do wrong. The boy in me would have loved a good fight scene. But at least it didn't drag and was fun to watch. Overall good job ladies!
