This weeks list is mish mash of recent releases.
The Equalizer 2
Starring: Denzel Washington
Original release: 2018
Synopsis: Robert McCall serves an unflinching justice for the exploited and oppressed, but how far will he go when that is someone he loves?
An Other Half pick. Guys must have their action movies. Which meant I ended up watching it also. Surprisingly though the movie wasn't too bad. Mostly because Denzel can make anything look good.
Starring: Matthew McConaughey
Original release: 2016
Synopsis: A disillusioned Confederate army deserter returns to Mississippi and leads a militia of fellow deserters and women in an uprising against the corrupt local Confederate government.
Another pick by Other Half. And one that I ended up liking. A story of prejudice and race and the fight to be free.
The Spy Who Dumped Me Starring: Mila Kunis and Sam Heughan
Original release: 2018
Synopsis: Audrey and Morgan are best friends who unwittingly become entangled in an international conspiracy when one of the women discovers the boyfriend who dumped her was actually a spy.
What can I say. I felt the need for something light and funny and landed on this.
Not quite as bad as it seems but no where near good as it could have been. Really I only watched this for Sam. Because yes Outlander brought me here.
As for the rest I probably could have given this movie a miss.
Starring: Elle Fanning and Douglas Booth
Original release: 2017
Synopsis: The love affair between poet Percy Shelley and 18 year old Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, which resulted in Mary Shelley writing Frankenstein.
I've always had a bit of weakness for historical dramas so naturally I had to watch this. Interesting look at two famous people and how their relationship was actually pretty unhealthy. Personally I think Mary should have run a mile or at the very least had her way with him and then dump his cheating ass and make off with a life of her own.
Starring: Some Americans I recognise from TV but don't know where
Original release: 2018
Synopsis: Bad boy hockey player Adam and struggling book-store owner Mary must work together to help rehabilitate each other's image. Their mutual animosity, and attraction, sees them struggle to achieve their goal.
Yeah I know, another Hallmark romance movie. I may have a problem. Even worse I still have more to watch.
This one at least had a book store in it.
Starring: Jessica Chastain
Original release: 2017
Synopsis: A portrait painter from 1890s Brooklyn, travels to Dakota to paint a portrait of Sitting Bull and becomes embroiled in the Lakota peoples' struggle over the rights to their land.
Brutal and beautiful, the story who longs to break free and finds a kindred spirit in Sitting Bull.
Despite bearing almost no resemblance to the real story I still enjoyed this movie.
Treat it as being totally fictional.
Starring: And more Americans
Original release: 2016
Synopsis: An injured figure skater is sent to the mountains to recover from an injury. Once there, she meets an ex-hockey player and his young daughter and begins to realise that something is missing from her life.
Hallmark again. I did say I had more to watch.
Completely sappy.
