Drew-z Movie Reviews
Transformers: The Last Knight - Director Michael Bay needs to make this his last Transformer film. This movie reminded of Nicholas Cage’s “National Treasure”, where Bay spends 2 hours with the hu- mans (Mark Wahlberg, Anthony Hopkins, Laura Haddock) trying to find a key that’s buried in the Earth. Only about 30mins of action featuring Optimus Prime joining the Decepticons to fight against the military. Wait for it on DVD. 2hrs/30mins long. Made $68M-U.S./ $199M -foreign ( budget-
$217M)- **
All Eyez On Me - Director Benny Boom tried to do his best to tell the
true and untold story of the greatest rapper Tupac Shakur (Demetrius Shipp, Jr.). With the sudden passing of Shakur’s mom and Tupac himself, Boom didn’t have the luxury of ‘Straight Outta Compton’ with Dr. Dre and Ice Cube being there to get it right. The soundtrack throughout the film was an A+. All and all, it’s a must see for Shakur’s fans. Made $38M (budget- N/A)- ***1/2
The Mummy - An ancient evil princess (Sofia Boutella) who set out for eternal life is awaken from her crypt beneath the desert by an Anthropologist (Annabelle Wallis) and military soldier (Tom Cruise). The princess brings terror to humanity beyond human comprehension. Can't figure why critics gave Cruise's movie bad reviews., but I'm here to tell you this film was ac- tion-packed and creepy. Definitely, not for kids. Cruise got this right by using an Algerian actress (North Africa) as the Mummy. Must-see and fast paced. Enjoyed it. Made $70M-U.S./ foreign-$275M- (budget-$125M)- ****
Wonder Woman - Diana ( Gal Gadof- Fast And The Furious 6) was the princess of the Amazons and trained warrior. A pilot (Chris Pine) crashes into her world and tells Diana about the German War. Diana leaves her home

Forrester employees are recruited for the swimwear photo shoot by Katie. Thomas and Sally work out how best to compete with Forrester.
The Young & The Restless: Lily finds out the truth about her husband and Juliet. Hilary causes issues.
Dina and Jill face off. Dina has upsetting news for Ashley. Victor grills Tessa. Cane seeks forgiveness.
Days Of Our Lives: Gabi stumbles onto a dead body. Lani feels awful after implicating JJ, and guilty for kissing Eli.
to stop the war and bring peace to the world. She later discovers her full power and true destiny that transformed her into Wonder Woman. I must admit didn't expect this movie to be this good. This is a well-written, action-packed su- perhero movie that featured a woman. Director Patty Jenkins got this film right. Must-see!. 2hrs/27mins long. Still No.1 at box office- $325M U.S./ foreign- $335M- (budget- $149M)- Classic
Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales - Two renegades ( Brenton Thwaites, Kaya Scodelario), pirate (Geoffrey Rush) and Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) search for the trident (spear) of Poseidon while being pur- sued by an undead sea captain (Javier Bardem) and his crew. This should be the last film for this franchise. Maybe if the stars looked like they had bruises on their faces from all the action, it might be believable. Wait for it on DVD. Made - $160M U.S./ foreign- $519M- (budget- $230M)- ***
