Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Coming 2 America (2021) in Movies

Oct 29, 2021 (Updated Nov 2, 2021)

It is great to see Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall back together again but they just don’t seem to have the same rapport as they did in the 1998 movie, Coming 2 America is funny in parts, but I just didn’t have the same belly laughs I had and still have when watching Coming to America, if you have Amazon Prime then check it out, it won’t cost you any extra.

Whatchareadin (174 KP) rated Far From the Tree in Books

May 10, 2018

I thoroughly enjoy the way, Virginia DeBerry and Donna Grant capture the true essence of African American female relationships in their books. Far from the Tree was no exception.

Ronnie and Celeste are sisters that have never really gotten along. Odella, their mother is also not the easiest to get along with. When the three are brought together in the same house after many years of being apart, their relationships start to take on a whole new meaning. Following the death of Will, the husband and father who had always been around to love and support them, the women are forced to examine their lives and make some hard decisions in order to move forward and grow.

Celeste, married to Everett, who is a doctor, has never been satisfied with their simple lifestyle. She has always wanted more for them even though she has never had to want for anything.

Ronnie, who has been a struggling actress in New York and fools herself and her family into thinking that she has it all together and is doing great. She actually has had more addresses than acting roles.

Odella, who had run from her past for so long that when it comes rushing back at her, she is overwhelmed by it all.

Together these women learn to love themselves and one another again.

There are talks that this book may be made into a major motion picture. I would be the first in line for a ticket. I would love to see who they get to portray the characters.

Emma @ The Movies (1786 KP) rated Pitch Perfect 3 (2017) in Movies

Sep 25, 2019

The Bellas, all now graduated from college and trying to maintain some kind of normal life, are brought back together when Emily invites them for a reunion. But after some crossed wires the girls are left downbeat when they realise they aren't there to sing, and instead have to watch the new shiny Bellas do their thing.

Desperate for one last hurrah Aubry mentions that her father could get them a slot in the USO tour. A chance for them to sing together one last time, and possibly get signed by DJ Khalid's label. But that all sounds a little too easy... doesn't it?

If it's musical then I'm going to watch it, so the last outing of the Barden Bellas was definitely going to make the list.

For me these are always a crowd pleaser if you like some toe tapping moments. While this isn't the best out of the three, it's definitely entertaining, with some very talented people appearing along side the girls as they give their oral magic.

My personal favourite has to be Fat Amy really bringing all her talents together to rescue the Bellas from her (not so) criminal mastermind of a father. Which all begins with her getting a call to let her know that they've been captured and Amy exposing the truth behind "like father, like daughter".

Full of the usual sing songs, innuendo, sexual tension, and a little too much cardio. If you want something bouncy and upbeat to take you into the new year then this is probably something you should go and see.

Just saw Midsommar. This is a very artsy horror movie, as is expected from A24 and Ari Aster. The cinematography for this movie was unreal. I really felt like I was sinking into a trip and almost felt nauseated a few times. So, bravo on the camera work. It's a visually stunning film, very beautifully shot. Aside from the opening scene, which gives a disturbing surprise start to things that I didn't see coming, the rest of the film becomes fairly predictable as the festival gets in motion. I'm not saying that as a bad thing though, this isn't really one of those trying to surprise and scare you type of movies. It's a, how can I put it, let's go on this trip and really horrific experience together type of movie. After the movie several of us, not knowing each other, that had just watched Midsommar together gathered out in the bright lights of the theater hallway and we immediately felt like family. We stared at each other for a moment, was half expecting to hug, and we were all like what just happened? I broke the ice and said I feel like we all just tripped really hard together. We kinda laughed and agreed and pretty much everyone was just stating in their own words that they were trying process what a weirdly, disturbing, trip of a movie that was. Then we all parted ways and danced back into the real world. I've never been happier to see the sunset on my drive back home.
