She said Review

 I know I don't usually do a review on just one film but I thought I would make an exception tonight.  The film I am reviewing is SHE SAID.



This film follows two female reporters who are investigating the Harvey Weinstein case.  The film starts slow and unassuming but then slowly moves into a modern All the President's Men with female reporters.  The story is solid and told in a very entertaining way.  

I really was interested in this story because a family member I know was sexually abused and nothing was done about it.  This film can give me some closure on that incident in my life.  No woman should be subjected to this kind of abuse or misconduct in the workplace.  There is no place for it.  

This film addresses an issue that has been a major problem for many companies where there is a powerful head of the company with many women as employees.  These men need to be reported and serve prison sentences.  If no one will speak out then nothing will happen.  Ashley Judd has a great line in the film when she talks about how she needed to be part of this article and that she needed to as a Christian.  

To me, that was an important part of the film.  That there were so many women from all walks of life that were abused by this man is just shocking.  The film had a profound effect on me because of having 2 sisters.  I would never want anything to happen to either one of them.    

I would highly recommend this film every woman should see this film, and every man should be educated from this film about what so many women have been silent about.  Take Care and see you at the movies.

Bob Marley ONE LOVE

Image
Now I know this is a little late but I saw this with my daughter on Valentine's Day.  I was my daughter's date.  I know she doesn't like me saying that but that is exactly what I was.  My wife was tired from work so I reluctantly agreed to go see this film about Bob Marley.  I had known the background of Bob Marley and that he died around 1980.  But it was still interesting to see his life on the big screen and see the beginnings of his iconic album EXODUS.  It also shows the relationship between him and his wife.   She stayed with him even though he had children with other women she still stuck by him.  Now that is a real woman.  The more I watched the film, the more I missed Haiti and the life I had there with my wife and family.  It made me remember when I first was dating my wife and how gitty we were for each other.   This film is interesting and was done under the supervision of Ziggy Marley who is Bob Marley's son, who is also one of the producers of the film.  Y

Land of Bad

This new film is now out in theaters.  For those of you who like Black Hawk Down and Asian action films, this may be up your alley.  There are 5 soldiers assigned to go into the bush of the Philippines to rescue one of their own.  It is up to the soldiers and one JSAT soldier who helps them control the drones above them.   This film has the Hemsworth brothers in a film together.  Liam is the main character called "Playboy and he makes sure that the drones land where they should on the ground.  Luke plays one of the other soldiers in the group.   This is an action-packed film that will keep you on the edge of your seat.  I really enjoyed the action sequences and the relationships with the soldiers with each other.  They tease the new fish but when they are in the thick of things they are all brothers.  The themes in this film are iconic.  The element of brotherhood for the soldiers and the sense of family is hinted throughout the film.  The one who steals the show is Russell Crowe

Godzilla x King Kong a new empire

  I saw this film a few weeks ago and I guess I figured it was time to do a review of it.  The film has amazing visuals and incredilble action scenes.  But it struggles with making a coherent story and makes you wonder if this new universe or whatever you call this new world of King Kong and Godzilla world will really work in the future.   It makes you wonder about the film and where it is going.  It felt like a action packed film but lacked the mystery and wonder of the original films.  But it is the second film in the franchise maybe the next film will give more coherence to the entire story.   See you at the movies.
