SORRY TO BOTHER YOU



The movie centers around telemarketer Cassius Green as he discovers a magical key to professional success, and. is immediately propelled into a macabre universe.  As a normal American, I hate telemarketers who interrupt your dinner,  So, so movie but kind of weird.  I give it a 6.  StarsLakeith Stanfield.

BOUNDARIES




With her teenage son in tow, single mother Laura embarks on a road trip she knows will be hellish:  picking up her pot-dealing dad from a nursing home he's been kicked out of and driving him cross country to her sister's house.  Definitely keeps your attention.   Makes a good afternoon of movie entertainment.  I give it a 7.  Stars Vera Farmiga; Christopher Plummer; Lewis McDougall.

THE GUARDIANS



In this drama set in rural France in the WWI era, the women of the Paridien farm are left to run it  by themselves while  the men are fighting.  But, things become complicated with the arrival of American troops and aa love affair with the son of the farm and a female worker.  Typically French, you get to come to your own conclusions on the ending. Well done and interesting so I give it a 7.  Stars Nathalie Baye, Laura Smet, Iris Bey.

OCEAN'S EIGHT



The movie  follows Danny Ocean's ex-con sister Debbie and her all-female crew as they plan their own brazen heist, targeting New York City's  annual Met  Gala.  The movie is fast. paced and keeps you on the edge of your seat.  No bathroom breaks here.  The acting is done by a stellar cast of women.  I give it an eight.  Stars Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Ann Hathaway.

DEADPOOL 2



In this fast-paced  superhero sequel,  wisecracking soldier of fortune Deadpool  partners with mutant warrior Cable, whose time-traveling capabilities allow him to change events in the future.  This movie is crazy but good.  the laughs are real zingers that make fun of many known personalities.  It is just a fun movie.  I give it an eight.  Stars Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, Zazie Beetz.

BOOK CLUB



Friends and members of the 60-plus set, Diane, Jane, Sharon and Carol have seen it all when it comes to relationships.  But after reading "Fifty Shades Of Gray",  they are inspired to make bold choices in the romance department, with hilarious results.  Not for the twenty or thirty age groups but definitely a must see for the fifty plus age groups.  A laugh out loud movie.  I give it an 8.  Stars Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen, and Mary Steenburgen.

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR



Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk and the rest of the Avengers unite to battle their most powerful enemy yet--the evil Thanos.  On a mission. to collect all sic Infinity Stones, Thanos plans to use the artifacts to inflict his twisted will on reality.  The fate of the planet and existence itself has never been more uncertain as everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment.  I love the Avengers and the quick witted fox but this was very incomplete.  Maybe that is because it is leading up to a sequel.  In my humble opinion, it would be better if the producers lost the sequel experience.  I give it a five.
