MAMA MIA HERE WE GO AGAIN

Get ready to sing and dance, laugh and love all over again.  Return to the magical Greek island of Kalokain in this new musical based on the songs of ABBA.  With the film's  original cast returning and new additions including Lily James, the film goes back and forth in time to show how relationship forged in the past resonate in the present.  Not Academy material but you will love it.  Go to Google and search Mama Mia 2 cast and pictures show up.  Too many to list.  I give it a 8 for touching my heart.

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.
