Gemini Man

Rated: PG-13
Runtime: 1 hour 57 minutes
Release Date: October 11, 2019
Director: Ang Lee
Starring: Will Smith, Mary Elizabeth Winstead


     Okay, Before I start off with this review, Sorry that there's no Ticket Picture this time, I didn't get a ticket (don't worry, I paid my money) because, the theater was suffering through a internet outage. And, I also forgot to do a out of theater reaction video, so that's not happening this time either!

   Now, on with the review. This movie is about A retiring assassin named Henry Brogan (Smith), who finds himself pursued by a mysterious killer. As it turns out, that killer is a clone of himself (Also Smith). Now he needs to find out why the killer is targeting him, and who the creator is. I'm in the middle of the like-ness level on this one. The visuals were great, but the script was weak. Believe it or not, EVERYONE ON YOUTUBE IS SAYING THE SAME THING ABOUT THIS FILM! AND I HAVE TO AGREE WITH THEM! Parents, There is a good amount of gun violence so, I wouldn't recommend this film to young kids.

The Addams Family 2019

Rated: PG

Runtime: 1 hour 27 minutes

Release Date: October 11, 2019

Directors: Greg Tiernan, Conrad Vernon

Featuring: Oscar Isaac, Charlize Theron, Chloe Grace Moretz (My Hollywood crush), Finn Wolfhard, Nick Kroll

     This animated version, is based on the classic Charles Addams cartoon about a eccentric, ghoulish family that is creepy, kooky, mysterious, spooky, and all together ooky, known as The Addams Family. People, I guarantee that this version is WAY better than the 1991 live-action Addams Family film. Parents, If you want to introduce your little ones to this family, take them to this film. Don't show them the 1991 film, or it's 1993 sequel: Addams Family Values.

Final Grade:

A+

Ad Astra

Director: James Gray
Starring: Brad Pitt, Tommy Lee Jones

    In this astronaut Sci-Fi flick, Roy McBride (Pitt) undertakes a mission to undercover the truth about his missing father (Jones), and the expedition that now, 30 years later, threatens the universe. I really enjoyed this film, I thought it was a good Science Fiction film. If your really into Science Fiction, then I think you'll enjoy this film. Parents, unless your children are really into these kind of films, they probably won't be interested in this one. But, Like I said, if you like astronaut films, then you'll probably like this one.

A+

    This is a really good, enjoyable film! Parents, Take your whole family to this movie! Because, It's about repentance, forgiveness, and healing. Even if your not a movie lover, you should definitely check this movie out if you haven't already! I think I'm gonna add it to my list of top 10 movies of 2019!

September 2019 film lineup

         Okay guys, there's going to be no official film lineup for September because the only movie I'm planning on seeing this month is animated film Abominable, which comes out on September 27.  So yeah, September is a very slow month for the box office as there's usually nothing interesting coming out during the month. Like I said, there is going to be no official film lineup for this month. But when October comes around, there will probably will be one. So stay tuned!

Director: David Leitch
Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Idris Elba

     Lawman Luke Hobbs (Johnson), and Outcast Deckard Shaw (Statham) work together when a cyber-genetically villain (Elba) threatens to destroy all humanity. Now, I know I'm a little late on theis film, and wasn't planning on seeing it, but even though, as of this post, I have not seen any of the previous Fast and the Furious films, but I thought that this wasn't a bad film. Parents, unless your child is into action films, they probably won't be interested in this film. And if you do take your kids to see it, I'd click here to check the parents guide on IMDB first.

Final Grade:
C+

Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark

Rated: PG-13
Runtime: 1 hour 51 minutes
Release Date: August 9, 2019
Director: Andre Ovredal
Starring: Zoe Margaret Colletti, Michael Garza, Gabriel Rush


     This horror flick that is based on the popular book series of the same name, is about a group of friends, who explores a haunted house that was once the home of a young girl with horrible secrets, Sarah Bellows. And those secrets, turned her life into a series of scary stories, written in a book that has transcended time-stories that becomes all-too real.


      This movie is intense, it does have it's moments, and Parents, Many people (including myself) are wondering, who is this movie made for? What is it's target audience? Is it tweens, teens, young adults? Who? But I will tell you this, it's not for your little ones. So, I advise you to not take your little ones to this film. In fact, one YouTube film critic ranked this film on a scary-ness level between Goosebumps and It. So parents, again, I strongly advise you to not take your little ones to this film. But if your older kids are into horror movies, they should be fine.

Final Grade:
B
