Needed some escapism so tow movies come to mind:
One is "Going in Style" about three retired friends who worked together for years and now in retirement. They find that they are cheated out of their pension and decide to rob the bank that ran their pension. While there are meaningful discussion of retirement in these times and the heartless corporations, etc., it is a good comedy. When you have Morgan Freeman, Michael Cain and Alan Arkin you have the A team. Enjoyed it and give it ***1/2 stars. 2017 Movie 14.
"Fate of the Furious" is a comedy action movie that while the story lacks in
every way it is fun to watch this cast play with cars. It is the height of bad fiction when someone decides to "flip" a switch and take control of all the cars in New York City no matter that the are parked. Ok Escapism and time with popcorn. I give it **1/2 stars. 2017 Movie 15
"Gifted" is a thoughtful and thought provoking story of a gifted child and the battle for her future and to control her life. Great acting. Great writing. Great honesty. I highly recommend.
**** stars. 2017 Movie 16
"Guardians of the Galaxy 2" is why I go the the movies. It is a comedy Sci-Fi movie of "Old friends and their escapades." The 80's soundtrack is great. There are great cameos of 80's stars. It was simply a delight. Stay through the credits because there are 5 additional scenes shown.
***** stars. 2017 Movie 17.
