The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

Based on the 1960's American TV Series and set in the 1960s an American spy and Russian spy team up to save the world from the plot of a billionaire greek shipping couple with the help of a German female mechanic. I WANTED to hate this from the trailer, but ended up loving it. Keep reading...

the one about my update

So things have changed drastically for me.

I came out as a transwoman on August 1st. I won't lie I was a bit nervous. I didn't have any money set aside for hair, nails, or clothes. I don't have a therapist yet. And I feel insecure about my body right now. My work has been AMAZING! They knew my date and put my new name up on my desk plague. They've been calling me Emily as well. Everyone in my life is 100% commitment to helping me transition...well almost. haha Keep reading

Straight Outta Compton

Arguably the most important movie I have ever seen in my entire life to date. Without a doubt 5 stars. Keep reading...

Vacation

By far the funniest movie of the summer. I haven't laughed that hard since Trainwreck. It's a sequel that should be followed as a standard. Take the original, turn it on its ear, then make a sequel that stays faithful to the original. 

There is a reason for everything happening in this movie and I love every bit of it. Ed Helms is the husband every woman (and gay man) wants. Christina Applegate is the wife with a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in her. And the kids are insanely annoying. lol Sorry but they are...until they get into a fight that sends a clear message to every bully. 

Overall I enjoyed it. Definitely characters I would continue watching the franchise for. I always did hate when ppl waited till the end of the movie to grow a spine, but whatever. Still a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

Entourage

Got bored one day and randomly saw Entourage without ever seeing one episode of the TV show. I liked it as a standalone movie. It was funny and a touch schmaltzy, but overall enjoyed it. HUGE plot holes because it had to go by 2 hours instead of 12 episodes. But I'd give it 3 stars.

I know another Mark Wahlberg project. I've become fascinated ever since I heard Adrian Grenier has a smelly peen. LOL I know it's juvenile but you don't hear that kinda stuff in Hollywood. Gives him an air of mystery (Does he or doesn't he?).

3 stars out of 5. I'd see the sequels.

Ted 2

I've tried my best not to 100% support any Mark Wahlberg projects. He's a homophobe. He's racist. And just seems like an a-hole all the way round. But Ted 2 was funny...gross and funny. Mostly because of Seth MacFarlane though not him.

In this sequel Ted wants to marry his girlfriend but must prove he's a human in order to get married. He's on a mission to do that but also wants to have a baby with her. Somehow they find Tom Brady's house, break in, and try stealing his sperm (hilarious). What's more impossible? A talking teddy bear or trying to steal Tom Brady's sperm? The latter of course lol

It's well enough acted and written funny enough. But the element of originality is gone. Yes I enjoyed it and would see it again, but the first movie was funny because it was original. Hmm I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars. Love that it was filmed in Boston too #BostonStrong

Terminator Genysis

I loved this movie for its incredible effort. Not just to live up to the other movies, but to stand out on its own. Even at its most confusing it still beats half the futuristic, action crap out there (I'm talking to you Lucy). Keep reading...

Fantastic Four

More like Failure Four. This movie was so bad it doesn't even deserve any ratings. It's horrible in the worst way. I wish I had something good to say about it, but I don't. AND there will be sequels? Yet independent filmmakers can't get funding for their future endeavors? OY. This reboot needs a reboot. Maybe I'll work on my own version. LAWD it's gotta be better than this.

The Gift

Awful movie. Huge letdown. The trailer was MUCH better than this twisted mess. No suspense. No scare. Bored. Should win EVERY Razzie it's nominated for. 0 stars out of 5.

Mission Impossible Rogue Nation

Say what you want about Tom Cruise, but at 53 he's still got it. He jumps, runs, and can act with the guys twice as young as him. It doesn't feel like he's trying to prove himself; it feels natural. I've seen all of these movies. This isn't the BEST one but it's up there.

Ant-Man

I will give Ant-Man 4 out of 5 stars. It has Judy Greer, Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas, Corey Stoll, and Bobby Cannavale. It gives a nod to the Avengers. It is completely different from any other superhero movie out there and is believable. But it's a bit predictable. I know how it was going to end in the middle of the movie.

Trainwreck

I TRIED as I may to hate Amy Schumer. I thought her "fall" in front of the Wests was dumb. Her quotes are funny though ("I'm about 160 pounds, and I can still catch a d*ck if I want."), but overall not a fan...till I was bored one day after work and saw Trainwreck.

Literally 5 out of 5 stars. The funniest movie I've seen in a very long time. I haven't laughed that hard in awhile. It's basically about a single girl who wants to avoid being taken, but ends up just that. Hilarious and naturally acted. Who knew Bill Hader had a cute bum?

Judd Apatow directed girl version of "Knocked Up."

Magic Mike XXL

No. Just no. Yes Channing Tatum and company are hot (especially Matthew Bomer who got even sexier than the last one), but there's no plot or character development. Even Fifty Shades had a plot. It was very sexy to watch them gyrate, but that wasn't worth the Lux Level money I spent on this movie. Two stars outta five.
