Imagine, if you will, a film released in theaters, with Syfy Channel level special effects, acting, and writing. Imagine, if you will, a hurricane that has skulls not so well hidden in the storm clouds in nearly every shot. Imagine, if you will, the hackneyed plot of people trying to steal old money from the Treasury before it gets shredded. You will have imagined Hurricane Heist.
Now, this film is bad, but it's not garden variety bad. It's bad enough that it wrapped itself all the way back around to entertaining. Hurricane Heist is blatantly dumb yet the actors, as much as they can, play it straight. For an hour and a half, you will ask yourself, "Can this movie get any dumber?" The answer is, "Yes. Yes, it can."
Was I entertained? Greatly. Is there any way that I can recommend spending any money on seeing a movie that has nothing going for it besides your incredulity at the fact that it not only got made, but got a theatrical release? No. But, for dang sure, if it shows up on Netflix or on something that you already pay for, check it out, if only for a few minutes. You won't gain anything from those few minutes, but there's a fairly high chance that you will laugh.

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital in Books
Jan 12, 2018
I received [Five Days At Memorial] by [Sheri Fink] free in exchange for an honest review.
[Five Days at Memorial] is a comprehensive account of the tragedy that happened at Memorial Hospital in the days following Hurricane Katrina. The weakness in this text was the massive amount of legal language. Although the legal ramifications that happened due to this event. It would have been more powerful if there was more emphasis on the human stories.

Antoine Fuqua and Denzel Washington are always a winning pair. I think I may have liked this movie more than the first, mostly because it brought more of a personal story for Denzel's character. The beginning set the tone, and for a bit of the movie, you think it's just going to be Denzel righting wrongs, but then it finally gets into the story. I think my favorite was the end, the cinematography during the hurricane was amazing.

Here Comes The Storm
Contains spoilers, click to show
The Equalizer II- this was Denzel first ever sequel he has ever done. Yes you heard that right, pervious to this film, Denzel has never done a sequel. Impressive right, i would say so. The Equalizer II- is action packed, full of revenge and the last 20 minutes takes place during a hurricane storm. Yes you heard that right, the last 20 minutes takes place during a hurricane storm. Impressive, yes I would say so. It ups the steaks.
The plot: If you have a problem and there is nowhere else to turn, the mysterious and elusive Robert McCall will deliver the vigilante justice you seek. This time, however, McCall's past cuts especially close to home when thugs kill Susan Plummer -- his best friend and former colleague. Now out for revenge, McCall must take on a crew of highly trained assassins who'll stop at nothing to destroy him.
So after the first movie, he retired being a equalizer and became a lyft driver.
Anyways its a good movie to end the month of Denzel. Next up Mel Gibson.

Mar 9, 2018
A romantic weekend on an island in Maine is anything but for Meg and Michael when they find her family already at the family cabin. That's before a hurricane arrives and strands them with an island packed with birders and a killer. While this book still has the humor of the first in the series, it also features a stronger mystery.
