Brian Banks

Here is my Hulu review.  Out now on Hulu is the inspirational film about Brian Banks, a once high school hopeful for the NFL who had his whole life taken away because of the accusations of one person.  This is a very powerful and moving film about integrity and determination.  He is accused of rape by someone while he is in high school but he is innocent.  He does nothing and goes to prison for something he didn't do and then he has to fight for his life in order to make himself free. He seeks help from the Innocent Project and they help him take the steps to be free. This is an amazing film which features determination, courage and an element in life to never give up.  Yes he did receive help but without his determination and will to fight for his innocence, he would still be either in prison or a registered sex offender.  I would recommend this film to anyone who loves sports films and inspirational films.   I give it a 3 and 1/2 Karate Chops.  It is a well made film and a story

Hello everyone on this weekend.  Now many of you may have found out that Friday the film Greyhound premiered.  It is available on AppleTV+.  This films stars Tom Hanks who also wrote this film.  This film has everything you want in a war film; action, excitement, adventure and suspense.  It takes you throught a 2 day trip on a convoy in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.  Where, Uboats, are all over the Atlantic Ocean trying to sink any Allied supply ships on their way to safety.  It was one of the Nazis last battlegrounds they thought they could use to win the war.   Tom Hanks stars as   U.S. Navy Cmdr.

Hello everyone back again with another Red box review.  You might have been by Red box and saw the advertisement for Force of Nature.  It stars Mel Gibson, Kate Bosworth, and Emile Hirsch.  This is your typical heist film.  During Hurricane Odessa in Puerto Rico a few gangster thugs are out to find stolen artwork from the second world war.  A routine desk jockey cop is called in to get citizens out of an apartment building.  They arrive at the building and there are residents who don't want to leave.  Mel Gibson is one of those residents.  He is a feisty retired cop who is on dialysis and doesn't want to leave the building.  He is being taken care of his daughter  (played by Kate Bosworth) who is a doctor and is trying to keep her dad healthy through the storm.  When the police show up to get them to leave the building, the gangsters show up.  Mel Gibson shows he still can be an action star even if he is getting up there in age.  This movie is a thrill ride in every way.  It ha
