The Mechanic: Resurection

If you like Jason Statham, and who doesn't, and want to see an action packed with no holes barred take down movie, see The Mechanic. Statham is retired and living in the South Pacific when an old 'friend'  blackmails him into killing three notorious criminals, as usual no buddy messes with our hero. An entertaining movie for a lousy day.  3 bananas

Jason Bourne

Jason, Matt Damon, after living off the grid for some years  has finally recovered his memory and realizes that his father was killed by the people he once worked for as a killing machine. With a little help from inside sources people will pay for their mistakes. This movie takes non verbal to a new level. Many car and motorcycle chases but over all not up to previous very good  Bourne movies.  2 bananas

Neighbors 2

Where the original was funny this is just plain stupid. Now a sorority has moved in next door and the party begins; creating problems for Seth Rogan who is trying to sell his house next door. Exact same plot as #1 but not funny. Miss it!!! 1 banana

The Nice Guys

Russel Crowe and Ryan Gossling team up in this action comedy looking for a young woman who has made a porno film which more than one person is interested in attaining. Some funny scenes but also some pretty bad acting. 2 bananas

Money Monster

George Clooney and Julia Roberts star in this wall street drama. Clooney and Roberts run a daily TV show called Money Monster and are preparing to go on air when a person hijacks the show and puts a bomb vest on Clooney in order to air his grievances concerning money that he felt had been illegally stolen from him by Wall St. Good cast, sort of a weak plot but entertaining. 2 1/2 bananas

Criminal

Kevin Costner stars as a criminal with no redeeming qualities who is taken from prison and used to transplant memories from a  CIA agent who had hidden some top secret information before he was killed in hopes of recovering it before the other side did. Interesting plot but only see on a rainy day.  2 bananas

Hardcore Henry

Dumbest movie ever made! Made in Russia with English language, a man, maybe, is fitted with super human powers and then is able to kill hundreds if not thousands of like persons. Filmed in the first person as though you are seeing everything through his(?) eyes. The face of this killing machine is never revealed as the same should be said for the movie, don't see it. 0 bananas

Eye in the Sky

Helen Mirren stars as the officer in charge of ordering drone strikes on the enemy. A group of nasty sand eaters are located inside a house that a strike is called on, but  is continually delayed due to the presence of a little girl just outside the house selling bread; As multiple higher ups from different governments weigh in on the issue of collateral damage the suspense that had been building is lost due to the stupidity/complexity of what should be an easy decision in times of war on terrorism. 2 bananas

Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot

A bored TV news producer, Tina Fey, volunteers for a 3 month stint in Afghanistan as a news reporter. In this true story of how 3 months becomes 4 years, Fey is embbeded with a group of Marines as the fighting rages on but the TV interest in the US wanes. Amongst the many parties with other journalists, friendships are made and lost due to self interests. Fey gives a serious performance in this very good movie. 3 bananas

DeadPool

Ryan Reynolds is hilarious in this spoof of the X-Men series from Marvel. Reynolds also known as Dead Pool becomes unkillable and disfigured due to an experiment that was suppose to cure his cancer. He now becomes a costumed anti-hero who kills worse people than himself. Many moments of fun comedy and some great one-liners as he tracks down the people responsible for his situation. 3 bananas
