Centuries ago, Thanos loved his land of Titan but he feared that the growing population would use up all the finite resources, causing devastation. His solution was to eliminate half the population to save everyone else. While some would call this genocide, Thanos called it mercy. Now, Thanos prophecy came true and Titan is rubble. So Thanos wants to save the galaxy from suffering the same fate Titan did. To do this, the must find the 6 infinity stones and insert them into his glove. And with a snap of his finger, he can show mercy to the galaxy and remove half the population. However, the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, Black Panther & Wakanda, Spiderman, and Dr. Strange will do everything to stop him.
So there will be NO spoilers what so ever in this review. With that said, this movie is the ultimate culmination of the 18 films before it (FTC Affiliate Disclaimer). Each character, you have grown to love, keeps their personalities while delving into new areas and interactions they never have before. You will see the perfect mash-up of personalities in new and old territories. You will laugh, cry, be amazed, and shocked like never before. The end will leave you … well … dumbfounded and oddly satisfied while wanting more. See this movie before someone spoils it for you. And if you have seen it, keep the ending quiet. This should go without saying but stay past the end credits for a sneak peek into the future.

After seeing the 9/11 attacks on TV, Capt. Nelson wants to rescind his retirement paperwork and go to Afghanistan with his men. Lt. Bowers says no but when Cheif Warrant Officer Spencer learns the papers have not been filed, he rips them up and Nelson’s men will be the first strike against the Taliban. Once they arrive in the war zone, Col.Mulholland gives the team of 12 men the code name Task Force Dagger. Dagger must meet with General Abdul Rashid Dostum of the Northan Alliance and join forces. They will use his intel and Dagger’s training & air strikes to release the Taliban’s stronghold on the area. They have a few problems. First, winter is near and the weather will hinder the air strikes. Second, there is a turf war between the different factions of the Northern Alliance. And last, the terrain is better accessible by horseback. With little horse riding experience and only 6 horses, the Dagger splits off into 2 teams. Alpha Team will meet up with Dostum while Bravo Team will stay at the base and relay messages to HQ until they get more horses. This is a bloody and complicated battle that will have a lasting impact on both sides.
Based on Horse Soldiers by Doug Stanton, this movie gives you a small window into the first battle against the Taliban (FTC Affiliate Disclaimer). It’s frustrating to see Task Force Dagger face language barriers and infighting within the Northern Alliance. When Nelson learns that Dostum is in contact with the Taliban, he is in total shock. They consistently have pissing matches over the walkie-talkies. While this is the first blow of a major war, it left its mark on American and Taliban history. This movie does not hold back on any battle scene. You will see blood, guts, dismemberment, and the after-effects of a suicide bomber. So if you suffer from PTSD or shell shock, this movie can be skipped. On the other side, it does show that the Taliban’s beliefs are not widely held among the Afghan people but it is deadly forced upon them. This is just one more war on their soil. And that’s the truly sad part about this movie. Also, there is no need to see it in IMAX.
I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars
I told him I wanted back in and he said no – Nelson
You are cutting the head off your most venomous snake – Spencer
No, he is showing us off. He is saying here’s the Americans. They are with me – Diller

Bea believes that humans were latecomers to the forest and should allow the animals to roam freely in their gardens. Her neighbor Mr. McGregor firmly disagrees. So when Peter’s dad saw the fence going up, he went into Mr. McGregor’s yard and was killed and turned into a pie. That harsh lesson taught Peter to be careful and devise plans before entering McGregor’s garden. However, one day while chasing Peter, Mr. McGregor has a heart attack and dies. The animals in the woods go wild and take over Mr. McGregor’s yard and home. In London, Tom McGregor got bad news. His great uncle died. But Tom is more concerned about a promotion than an uncle never knew. However, when he is turned down for a promotion he deserved due to nepotism. He goes ballistic and loses his job. His former boss tells him to go to his Uncle’s home (he just inherited) and relax. Tom comes to the McGregor Manor to find it overrun with animals. He wants to be rid of all of them. His new neighbor Bea attempts to sway him to allow the animals to roam free. He agrees in front of her but goes after Peter and his friends. Meanwhile, when Peter sees that Bea is falling for Tom, he decides to put an end to Tom and his deceitful ways.
Based on Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter, this is an imaginative and funny take on a classic children’s story (FTC Affiliate Disclaimer). It quickly gets your attention with classic “Disney”-style singing birds who are consistently interrupted. Providing a great running gag while allowing the film to separate themselves from other live action movies. There are plenty of jokes for children and adults alike. However, please be advised that the movie shows Daddy Rabbit getting caught and then a warm pie coming out of the oven. If your children can handle this 5-second scene, then bring them.
I give it 4 out of 5 stars
Why don’t you pick on someone your own size – Peter Rabbit
I am selling the home and use the proceeds to build a toy store across from Harrods so they can watch their imminent demise – Tom
I’m in the mood for rabbit pie – Mr. McGregor
I thought I heard explosives – Bea

Renee works for the small IT department for LeClaire Magazine. She is tired of sitting in a small basement office in Chinatown. She wants to work in the Manhatten office with all the other employees. She considers applying for the receptionist job. But she is hindered by her insecurities when she notices that everyone in the Manhattan looks like a model. To get her spirits up, she decides to start working out again and falls, bumping her head twice. When she wakes up, she is overcome with self-confidence. Even though she looks the same to everyone else, her confidence shines through. She starts going after the job, man, and the life she wants.
Renee’s confidence is contagious. It’s easy to see that attitude is everything. However, this movie does warn the viewer of confidence becoming cockiness. As Renee starts to succeed, she starts to hurt her friends and boyfriend. And while we laugh at Renee’s renewed openness, you (and Renee) learn that every woman has self-esteem issues. With the great concept of this movie, the jokes are uninspired and Michelle William’s voice is worse than nails on a chalkboard. If you want to kill 2 hours with a few laughs and a self-esteem boost, see this movie at the matinee price. Otherwise, wait for On Demand.

Brea is an investigative journalist that just got scooped for her big story. She is furious that her year-long investigation of real-estate corruption was turned into a fluff piece. She gives her boss a piece of her mind and leaves. Knowing she may not have a job, Brea still goes out to her birthday dinner with her boyfriend John, his friend Darren, and her friend (Darren’s girlfriend) Malia. She tries to put on a brave face but she eventually cracks and tells them the truth. After Darren spills the beans, John tells Brea that he is taking her away for a weekend so she can leave all her stress behind. On their way up the mountain, John and Brea stop for gas. John is harassed by bikers while Brea talks to Cara. Brea can tell something is wrong with Cara but doesn’t have the nerve to ask. Brea goes to meet John only to see he is in a fight with bikers. Deputy Sally sees the fight and tells the bikers to back off. John and Brea leave only to be chased by the bikers later. They lose the bikers and head to the vacation home. They have a lovely time until Darren comes unannounced with Malia. John is furious and in the middle of an argument, John hears ringing from Brea’s purse. Brea knows its not her phone and suspects it’s Cara. After unlocking the phone, she finds evidence of a sex trafficking ring. When Cara comes looking for her phone, the two couples will be in a life and death situation.
When making a movie about a $150 billion dollar business with millions of victim, you would expect a stronger storyline about sex trafficking. Accept 60% of the movie is about John and Brea’s relationship, 10% about John and Darren’s relationship, and 10% about Darren and Malia’s relationship. That only leaves 20% of the movie for trafficking victims. You are so far removed from the problem, it doesn’t feel real. You would expect faces of real victims to run with the credits, but you get nothing but highway. For such a serious topic with plenty of real-life stories, you would just expect more. This is a movie for Lifetime, not the big screen.
I give it 1.5 out of 5 stars

Thor has been working to stop the prophecy of the Asgard’s demise called Ragnarok. However, when he gets home, he learns that the 9 realms are falling apart. Thor knows his father would never let that happen, so he confronts him and exposes that it is Loki. Thor demands to be taken to their father. Oden lets his sons know that Hela is on her way. She is the Goddess of Death, bent on revenge, and their sister. As the oldest, Hela feels she is the rightful heir to the throne. She despises Oden for changing his way and locking her away. While absorbing the news of a new found sister, Thor and Loki stand before her. During the fight, Loki calls for Heimdall. But all three are swept up in the Bitfröst Bridge while still fighting. Hela throws Loki and Thor out; she heads to Asgard to rule while the brothers land on the planet Sakaar. Hela sets her sights on taking over all the realms and by destroying everything in her path. Her only obstacle: someone stole the Bitfröst Sword. She must find it to continue her domination.
Thor, without his hammer, is confronted by Sakaar locals. But soon Scrapper 142 finds him and marks him as a contender. Thor is set to be in the Grand Master’s game and face the Grand Master’s Champion. Thor worries that without his hammer, he will fail. But he will learn the truth about Scrapper 142, the Grand Master’s Champion, Loki’s whereabouts, Hela’s power, Ragnarok, and what it truly means to be the God of Thunder.
Be prepared to laugh and be in awe. When there isn’t a physical battle, you are given a verbal battle. Sakaar is given its own color palette which completely separates it from Asgard. New characters are introduced with clear and concise backstories which allows them to shine with their own personalities. Since this movie is one of the funniest in the Marvel series, the humor causes the special effects to be more cartoonish than realistic. So, the Hulk looks like a cartoon next to a real object. At times it just doesn’t blend. Don’t worry, you will get the joy of cameos from Stan Lee and Dr. Strange. As well as post end credit scenes. So see this movie at full price and IMAX, before someone tells to much. 3D is not necessary

World famous detective Hercule Poirot just finished a case at The Wailing Wall and wants to take a vacation. Just as he is planning to relax, he gets a new case from London and must return. Poirot’s friend Bouc (director of the Orient Express) offers him a ride on the full train. During a dessert service, Poirot is approached by Samuell Ratchett. Ratchett has received several death threats and wants to hire Poirot as his bodyguard. During the night, Poirot sees someone running in a red robe and hears noises coming from Ratchett’s room. The butler knocks on the door, hears “It’s nothing”, and walks away. Poirot goes to his room and sleeps. Later an avalanche, the train derails and leaves them all stranded together. The butler knocks on everyone’s door but when Ratchett doesn’t answer, Poirot opened the door. Inside Ratchett is dead with 12 stab wounds to the chest. Poirot finds a partially destroyed note, a bloody handkerchief with the letter “H” on it, and a cup of barbital drugged coffee. Poirot must discover the killer before the train is back on the tracks.
Based on the novel Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie, this movie has to be watched twice (FTC Affiliate Disclaimer). There is so much going on with so many characters, it’s hard to keep up. While telling a grim tale, it does provide a few laughs at the human condition. You feel an urge to solve the mystery along with Poirot. This movie allows you to come up with your own theories as Poirot questions each suspect. But be warned this movie DOES follow the book; no new suspects, plots, or murders are given. The director, Kenneth Branagh, must be applauded for his use of continuous shots as Poirot enters and leaves the train. Also, some scenes are shot from above, allowing the audience to be a fly on the wall or ceiling. Seeing the behind the scene and the director’s commentary on this movie will be amazing.
I give it 4 out of 5 stars

Los Angeles is the banking capital of the world and has 9 bank robberies a day. So after an armored truck is stolen, Big Nick and his fellow officers are ready to go. They look through their list of usual suspects to narrow the potential perpetrators down. However, when Nick learns the thieves knew how to strike and where to strike but the truck was empty, he concludes there is more to the robbery. The only known robber with this much expertise is Merriman. Merriman is ex-military, ex-football player gone bad and paroled 8 months ago. After surveillance, they find the Den of Thieves backing Merriman. Big Nick learns Merriman’s thieves were either in jail with him, in the military with him, or on his football team. Nick knows the thieves are trained and ready at a moments notice. But what Nick doesn’t know is the robbers are preparing for the biggest score ever. The one bank that has never been robbed, The Federal Reserve. The team wants to break in and steal the bills marked for shredding. They know the serial number will be taken out of the system and no one will be looking for the money. To get this information, Nick will go after the newest and weakest member of the team, Donnie, the driver.
Talk about a roller coaster ride. This movie hits the gas and never let’s go. You are given a thrilling cat and mouse game with an Ocean’s Eleven-style bank robbery with a Set It Off shootout (FTC Affiliate Disclaimer). Now pay close attention to everything you see and hear, it will become important. And you have no idea how this will end. While uncovering the mystery, it does go own the path of Nick’s marriage. This was completely unnecessary. With several scenes, you got to see that he is self-destructive. So the fallout of his marriage was not needed. See this movie before someone ruins the ending. And you will want to watch it again.

Amy sits in a destroyed house, in tears. She has ruined Christmas for her children. She sits and wonders where it all went wrong. She thinks back to a few days prior when she got a text that froze her in place. Her parents Ruth and Hank were coming for Christmas. Ruth is extremely critical of Amy as a mom. So when Amy tells Ruth she wants a laid back Christmas, Ruth takes over, decorates, coordinates, and congregates. To get away from it all, Amy goes to see her friends Carla and KiKi. Kiki’s mother Sandy came to town early. She has no boundaries when it comes to Kiki. Sandy says KiKi is her best friend and wants to spend every moment with her. KiKi is horrified. Carla’s mother Isis blew into town on a truck. Isis is a hands-off mother with a gambling problem. Carla is glad to see Isis but she knows Isis will ask for money and leave town. Carla, KiKi, and Amy are stressed out with decorating, shopping, and wrapping to create the perfect Christmas. But with their mother’s in town, they decide to take Christmas back and have fun.
A sequel to Bad Moms may have not been expected but fun for the holiday season. While the holidays are fun, they are extremely stressful. It’s fun to watch these ladies take over and be bad. While each cast member holds their own, Christine Baranski takes over whenever she is on the screen. Her ability to be the very definition of poised while ripping her daughter to shreds is amazing. You will either laugh or have your jaw on the floor each time she speaks. With a stripper, a smooth jazz legend, and tough game of dodgeball, this is a fun movie for adults. Also no need to stay past the 1st end credits. See this at the matinee price as an escape from the typical holiday movie.

Although it has the same title, it is not a remake of the 1984 classic Ghostbusters. It does get creepy at moments to frighten the audience, but it’s done with humor. This movie can easily stand on it’s own, but you need to see the first film to get some of the cameos. Unlike some films, the best jokes are NOT in the trailer. Each women is given a distinct personality, strength, and weakness to make the audience connect to the character. Although this movie makes you LOL (as in texting it but not laughing), it quickly makes up for itself with puns, action, and suspense. This is a good matinee movie to see in 3D. And stay past the end crawl.
