The Wrecking Crew
Rating: 4 of 5 bulging biceps
Mostly comedy with a bunch of action. Great interaction between Bautista and Mamoa as estranged brothers investigating their fathers mysterious death. A fun ride.

Song Sung Blue
Rating: 5 of 5 bah bah bahs
A true story of two tribute performers who end up performing Neil Diamond tunes. It’s happy, it’s sad, it’s got all the things, and the story is true and accurate. Both Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson turn in amazing performances, both acting and singing. Definitely Academy Award worthy.

Mission Impossible the Final Reckoning
Rating: 1 of 5 snorefests
Not much to say here. Watch any of the other films. This one is just terrible. 90% is boring, but these films are always touted for their great stunts and action scenes. Well, aside from gratuitous gunplay, there are really only two stunts, and a lot of boring dialog. One is underwater and very dark and not all that stunty. Plus, Ethan Hunt must be a cyborg, because no human could live through what this character goes through.

The Running Man

There’s a man. He runs. So, the title’s spot on. But, the film is inferior in just about every way to the 1987 Schwarzenegger version, except maybe special effects. At least it was better than the last Mission Impossible flick!

Rams

Remake of an Icelandic flick about sheep farmers, and two warring brothers, but moving it to Australia. It’s labled as a comedy/drama, but there’s very little comedy, and a lot of drama. Good drama, it’s a decent drama, more about family and relationships than livestock.

About My Father

Two families vacation together, because the dude from the poorer family wants to marry the girl from the filthy rich family. Hilarity iensues. Well, a bit. But, it’s always fun watching Robert De Niro play an Italian in a comedy.

Wrath of Man
Rating: 4 of 5 Stathams
A Guy Ritchie action-fest, it’s got violence, guns, more violence, blood, and a bit of violence. Jason Statham does what Jason Statham does. Story gets a little muddled, and requires a more attention than most shoot-em-ups, with the timeline shifts throughout. But, if you’re up for bullets and explosions, this is better than many.

The Best You Can

Predictable writing, and no surprises to be found. But it’s a sweet enough story, and given the protagonists are married, there’s real chemistry. If you want a white bread rom-com, this is an OK pick.

Santa’s a buff old dude. The Rock leads his security force. Gryla (a Norse Orgre) wants to punish all the naughty people. An action comedy ensues. It’s just a fun, exciting and funny Christmas-themed joy ride. We’ve adding it to our must-sees during the holidays.
