Knives Out

"Knives Out" feels like an Agatha Christie novel. The family of a writer are prime suspects in his murder when his throat is slashed.

Christopher Plummer, Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Johnson, Toni Collette, Michael Shannon, Katherine Langford, Lakeith Stanfield, and Daniel Craig as the detective are SUBLIME in their roles. But Ana de Armas carries the movie. 

No spoilers but easily 4 stars our of 5. Very well done. You won't figure out anything till the end.

Harriet

The story of Harriet Tubman is amazing. She was a slave, walked 100 miles from to Philadelphia PA leaving her parents, siblings, and husband. Then she decided to go back from everyone only to discover some had moved on thinking she was dead so she helped others. 5 stars easily!!!

Two things made me angry: 1) she didn't tell ANYONE her plans before she left which could've saved a ton of drama and heartache. 2) I expected racist people, but never expected black people betray other black people for money. ANGERED ME! Reminded me of today how we don't support one another within the black community. Some cisgender black people don't like LGBT+ black people. Some cisgender black people don't like each other; and same for LGBT+ black people. Just crazy frustrating! We haven't changed all this time.

Cynthia Erivo has won a Daytime Emmy Award for performing on the "Today" show with the cast of "The Color Purple" play as well as a Tony Award and a Grammy for her portrayal of "Celie" in the "The Color Purple" play. All she needs is an Oscar for this movie, which she will win. WOWOWOWOW! Janelle Monae and Leslie Odom Jr. rightly deserve Supporting Actor and Actress nominations respectively. And Kasi Lemmons DESERVES an Oscar nod for Best Director.

Watch this movie immediately. You will learn so much!!!!

Frozen 2

Just wow. "Frozen 2" was better than the first. I felt instantly connected to it so much. 5 stars out of 5!

Elsa (Idina Menzel) hears the call from a siren and is unsure if she should follow the voice. Her song "Into the Unknown" SPOKE TO ME! Made me think of my journey in life. When you hear something calling and you know you have a good life. Do you follow what's out of your comfort zone or stay in it? Guaranteed you'll be singing it to. Idina aka Adele Dazeem's voice is hypnotic!

Olaf (Josh Gad) is even funnier. And there's more progression with Anna (Kristen Bell) and Kristoff (Jonathan Groff)...Great for adults and kids. Expect ALOT more songs though...if you like musicals.

21 Bridges

Straight away I will give this movie 4 stars. Here's why: Chadwick Boseman is PHENOMENAL in it! I think he showed more range in Black Panther, but he's good in this movie too. VERY good! 

Chadwick is Andre Davis, a not-so-by-the-books cop who's dad died during his own police investigation. Andre is called in by Captain McKenna (JK Simmons) to investigate the death of 8 cops at a local restaurant. Stephan James & Taylor Kitsch play the cop killers with Sienna Miller and Keith David as fellow cops helping Andre (Keith's role was mostly emotional support since he knew his dad). Andre realizes in order to trap the killers he has to close all 21 bridges that go in and out of Manhattan. But we all know what happens when you corner an animal!

There are twists and turns, BUT where it loses my favor is one of the biggest twists in the movie keeps getting hinted at even in the beginning. It's left unanswered till the middle and end, but my point is it should've never been hinted at all. Had they not tipped their hand so obviously I would've loved this movie and given it 5 stars. But that other than that very good movie.
