War Room - Directed by Alex Kendrick, this film was about Priscilla Shirer and T.C. Stalling as husband and wife who turn to Miss Clara (Karen Abercrombie) for strategic prayer to help their volatile re- lationship. This faith-based movie was surprisingly very good. 2hrs long. Must see! Made $11M. (Budget $3M). ****
No Escape - An Amerian family (Owen Wilson, Lake Bell) soon find themselves caught in the middle of a over- seas coup, and they have to frantically look for a safe es- cape, because the rebels are executing all Americans and foreigners. Perce Brosnan also stars. Made $10M. (Budget N/A). ***
Hitman: Agent 47 - An assassin-Agent 47 (Rupert Friend) searches for a woman (Hannah Ware) who unknow- ingly is more lethal than he, to help her find her scientist fa- ther before the other assas- sins. This movie received bad reviews from the critics, but if you want to see Agent 47 get busy killing people, then this film is for you. Enjoyed it! Only 1 hr./30 mins. long. Made $15M. (Budget $35M). ***1⁄2
Straight Outta Comp- ton - The supergroup NWA (Niggas With Attitudes - Eazy E, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, MC Ren and DJ Yella) emerge from the streets of Compton, California in the mid 80s and introduced the world to gangsta rap. The music and movie was about life in Compton with gangs, drugs, police brutality and how the group rose to fame despite the odds. Director F. Gary Gray (Friday) directed a masterpiece. Ice Cube (played by his son, O’Shea Jackson, Jr.), Eazy E(Jason Mitchell), Dr. Dre ( Corey Hawkins), MC Ren (Aldis Hodge), and DJ Yella (Neil Brown, Jr.) and manager Jerry Heller (Paul Giamatti) were all excellent. This movie should be nomi- nated for an Oscar for best pic- ture. You definitely can’t MISS this film based on the history of Hip Hop music. Didn’t feel like it was 2 hrs./30 mins. long. (Classic)! Still No. 1 at box office. Made $134M. (Budget $28M). **** 5 Stars
Fantastic Four - Four young astronauts (Michael Jordan, Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell) teleport to another universe which alters their physical form. The Four must learn how to use their
power to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy, Dr. Doom (Toby Kebbell). The director and film received bad reviews and criticism, because he changed Johnny Storm played by Jordan to a Black superhero. This reboot is still worth seeing! Made $52M/ Foreign $93M. (Budget $59M). **1⁄2
The Gift (2015) - A mar- ried couple’s lives (Jason Bate- man, Rebecca Hall) are thrown into a mysterious tail- spin when an old high school mate (Joel Edgerton) from the husband’s past brings gifts to their house and reveal an hor- rific secret that happened 20 years ago. Director/actor Edgerton did an excellent job with this pyscho/ thriller. Whose side are you on? Made $35M. (Budget $5M). ****
Mission: Impossible- Rogue Nation - Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise), super agent Illsa (Rebecca Ferguson), and the team (Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames and Jeremy Renner) take on The Syndicate - an In- ternational Rogue Organiza- tion as highly skilled as they are. The Syndicate’s main pur- pose is to destroy the IMF and assassinate top officials. Direc- tor Christopher McQuarrie did a great job with the special ef- fects and storyline. This film was very entertaining. A must- see! Made $170M. (Budget $150M). **** and then some.
Southpaw - Director An- tione Fuqua (The Equalizer, The Shooter, Training Day) and actor Jake Gyllenhal should be nominated for Oscar’s best director and actor for this emotional boxing drama. The movie was about light heavyweight champion Billy Hope (Gyllenhal) turning to trainer Tick Willis (Forrest Whitaker) for help after the tragic loss of his wife (Rachel McAdam) and his daughter to child protection services. 50 Cent also stars as the corrupt promoter. Gyllenhal brought the Oscar worthy emotions to this film. Must-see for drama fans! Made $49. (Budget $30M). ****
