fighters. No. 1 at box office- $153M- U.S./ foreign- $345M- (Budget -N/A)- ***
A Madea Family Reunion - A family reunion becomes a hilarious nightmare as Madea (Tyler Perry) and
the crew ( Aunt Bam-Cassie Davis, Hattie- Patrice Lovely and Joe, Brian, Heathrow-Tyler Perry) travel to back- woods Georgia, where they find themselves unexpectedly planning a funeral that might unveil scandalous family secrets. This is definitely Tyler Perry's funniest Madea. Must -see for laughs. Made $48M (budget- N/A)- ****

Dell must fight through the difficulties of taking care of Phillip. Director Neil Burger did a great job of mixing Hart and Cranston learning to deal with each other faults. Really enjoyed this film.

Glass - Security guard David Dunn (Bruce Willis) uses his supernatural abilities to track psycho Kevin Wendell Crump (James McAvoy) and evil mastermind Mr. Glass (Samuel Jackson). Director M.
