Ethan has a choice, complete the mission or save his friend. He chooses Luther and loses the plutonium. Now, the Apostles are going to use the plutonium to make three nuclear weapons. Ethan feels horrible for losing the plutonium but he knows he did it for the right reason. Alan sees the good in Ethan and decides to give him another chance. A broker called the White Widow wants to trade the plutonium with a man name John Lark. They plan to get Lark, scan his face, and become him to intercept the trade. But Erica has other plans. She doesn’t see the need for IMF and wants one of her people to go. Alan is furious at the news but Erica clearly states, if her guy Walker doesn’t go, then no one goes. Now, Ethan and his team, while being watched by Walker, have to get the plutonium before it can be weaponized. But, of course, it won’t be that easy. This is his mission and he chose to accept it.
This movie is pure adrenaline from beginning to end. Just when you think you have an idea of what is going on, something is flipped. This movie is a complete fit for the Mission Impossible series (FTC Affiliate Disclaimer). Each choreographed fight scene is done with such precision, you feel each punch and kick. It’s astonishing to see the team stick together even as Erica is doubting Ethan’s loyalty. As Ethan hangs off a cliff, as Luther explains Ethan’s team devotion, or as Ilsa go toe to toe with the face of evil, you will hang on every second not knowing which way is up or down. This is the thrill ride only Mission Impossible can pull off.
I give it 5 out of 5 stars

Sophie has finally finished her mother’s biggest project: to redo and update the hotel. She decides to name it Hotel Bella Donna. And she invites everyone to the grand re-opening. While she is happy that her mom’s best friends, Rosie and Tanya, can come. She is disappointed that only one of her three dads can come. Also, her relationship is in a tough place. Sky has been offered a job at a New York hotel and he wants Sophie to come. Sophie believes her place is in Greece and she doesn’t want to leave it or the hotel. Just when Sophie doesn’t think things can get harder, a storm rolls through that stops boats and planes from traveling and leaves a huge mess of her new hotel. And what keeps her strong is memories of her mother and how she came to Greece. This is the untold story that will unfold in front of your eyes.
While it’s pretty obvious the path for Sophie’s storyline, it’s Donna’s storyline that is the most interesting. Seeing Donna’s first encounter with Harry in France the day before she went to Greece. And how she met Bill because she missed the ferry to Greece. And the chance meeting she had on a rainy road with Sam to help a horse. Even though, each time Donna met them she said she wasn’t “that kind of girl”, she left in her inhibitions behind her and made some memories. This movie has the songs, choreography, and laughs you know from the prequel (FTC Affiliate Disclaimer). But it doesn’t spark a moment with you. If you are a fan of first, see the second matinee. Otherwise, wait for Redbox.
I give it 2.5 out of 5 stars

Collin has 3 days left on his year-long parole after serving time in jail and he is doing everything possible to stay out of trouble. He works as a mover with his best friend Miles in their hometown of Oakland, California. He keeps is 11 pm curfew at a halfway house. In addition to staying out of any kind of trouble. As he is driving home one night after work, he sees a man running. Moments later, that man is shot 4 times by an officer right in front of Collin. Collin goes home but can’t shake a sick feeling as the news reports come out. The next 2 days will leave test him in love, friendship, culture, and perception.
This movie proves that everyone has a blind spot. Miles and Collin see the world around them changing. With gentrification, Miles and Collin don’t know where they belong. However, the biggest question is about their friendship. Miles believe Collin’s parole is changing him into a water down version of himself. Collin believes that Miles is so busy being a tough guy that he isn’t growing up. And Val, Collins’s ex, believe Miles will be Collin’s downfall. This movie gives a spectacular narrative to a white guy growing up in a predominately black neighborhood and a black male growing up trying to not be a stereotype in a black neighborhood. With each of them growing up together, they still have a blind spot for each other’s pain and pressure. And during one scene, you will hold your breath and silently hope everything doesn’t fall apart. See this movie today.
I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars

He already biracial, why does he need to be bilingual – Miles

With one week left in the 8th-grade, Kayla is still a social media introvert. She posts vlogs giving advice, like pics on Instagram, and put on makeup to be “flawless, I woke up like this” on Snapchat. But when she goes out in the world, she can’t talk to people, keeps her head down, and was voted quietest in the class. Later, she is handed her 6th grade Time Capsule and becomes disappointed. She realizes that in 2 short years, she has not lived up to any of her hopes and dreams. So in 7 days, Kayla hopes to turn things around by going to a party, making friends, and trying new things. She just wants to put herself out there. And with this choice, she will find her true self and prepare for high school.
With an honest looking at 8th-grade life today, Kayla tells the tale of being a tween in today’s generation. She doesn’t feel like a child however she is just becoming a teenager. She has become a slave to her screens and doesn’t know how to interact with the real world around her. She sees others around her with friends but she never notices that they are always looking at their phones. Each time you see this sincere portrayal, it becomes even sadder. With every way kids have to connect to the world, Eight Grade shows us that they still don’t know how to communicate. Watch this movie with your tween and start a conversation today.
I give it 3 out of 5 stars
