I don’t travel a lot (or ever really) and unfortunately I don’t see that changing this year but one of the great things about movies is the fantasy of going somewhere you’ve never been. And it doesn’t just mean space or Middle Earth.
There are some great movies that are like taking fun filled vacations for far less money.
Once upon a time there was a little girl who liked books and was just getting over an illness when she looked upon the television and saw a movie with hot guys with attitudes in uniform, fast planes, motorcycles and thought… oh, I like this.
It’s going to be my childhood classic.
The Meg
Directed By: Jon Turteltaub
Grade: C+
Generally speaking I think you know someones a keeper when they jump into the ocean and fight a giant prehistoric thought to be extinct shark monster to save you. Which did kind of make me laugh in the movie because dude you just meet this chick!
Okay, so The Spy Who Dumped Me is a comedy and Mission Impossible: Fallout an action/drama but they both totally made me want to hop on a plane immediately and go running off to Europe.
They also bring up some interesting life questions.
I am Team Dino.
While viewing Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom there were several questions about the movie that ran through my mind and they lead to several life questions until I found myself pondering the meaning of, well, I’d like to say existence but definitely not that meaningful.
The Hitman’s Bodyguard
Directed by: Patrick Hughes
Grade: C+
Ryan Reynolds plays a top protection agent whose assigned to get an infamous hitman (played by Jackson) to the trial of a brutal dictator in one piece. Naturally said dictator (Gary Oldman) still has some serious pull. It’s like the whole military under this guy is standing in their way and if they don’t make it alive, or even in time, he walks.
Wonder Woman
Directed by: Patty Jenkins
Starring: Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Robin Wright, Danny Huston, etc.
Grade: A
Wonder Woman has been in my top three most anticipated movies of the year probably since the comic-con trailer dropped last summer. But as much as I loved her in Batman v. Superman I had been burned before with those Suicide Squad trailers. However my anticipation only went up after the reviews started coming in early this week.
Did they do her justice?
