Meryl Streep plays a bankrupt rock and roll singer who is called back to her grown family and remarried husband to help her daughter get over being dumped by the future husband. Once arriving Streep is confronted with all sorts of family secrets, none of which is was aware as she had left years before.

Hitman: Agent 47

In an experimental government program humans(agents) were programed with special powers to become killing machines. The program was shut down but not before a few of the agents escaped. Now a very powerful syndicate wants to find the head of the defunct program and startup again. This non-stop action movie is not going to win any awards but it sure is a fun 2 hours as Agent 47 does battle with just about everyone. For entertainment I'm giving this movie,  3 bananas
