LOGAN LUCKY

This movie was a pleasant surprise.  Entertainment Magazine gave it a B+.  The movie follows brothers Jimmy and Clyde Logan, who set out to execute an elaborate  robbery during the legendary Coca-Cola 00 race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, to reverse a family curse.  The production was shot at the Charlotte Motor Speedway during the actual NASCAR Coca-Cola 600 and the Bank of America 500, as well as at Atlanta Motor Speedway.  In a fun twist, six NASCAR stars pop  in non-driver cameo roles in the film.  I will tell you no more than this is the on of the most cleaver heists that I have seen.  I give it an 8.  Stars Channing Tatum and Adam Driver.

 

WIND RIVER

Wind River is a chilling thriller that follows a rookie FBI agent who teams up with a local game tracker with deep community ties and a haunted past to investigate the murder of a local girl on a remote Native American Reservation in the hopes of solving her mysterious death.  Not for the faint hearted, it leaves you on the edge of your seat.  I give it a 7.  Stars Elizabeth Olsen, Jeremy Renner, and Gil Birmingham.

LOST IN PARIS

When her elderly Aunt Martha in Paris asks for help, Canadian librarian Fiona sets off for France, but by the time she arrives, Martha has vanished.   While searching for her, Fiona crosses paths with a pesky vagabond and can't shake  him.  This is definitely a comedy and you will laugh out loud.  I give it an 8.  Stars Fiona Gordon, Dominique Abel, and Emmanuelle Riva.
