The team must soon fight Kong and other creatures to get off the island. Enjoyed this outrageous Kong story which featured a good number of Black actors. How many will get off the island?

Logan (2017) - A weary Wolverine-Logan (Hugh Jackman) cares for an ailing Professor X (Patrick Stewart) and Caliban in a hideaway building on the Mexican Border. Logan’s peaceful world comes to an end when a young mutant-Laura (Dafne Keen) shows up while she is being pursed by a deadly cor- poration with killer assassins. This has to be the most violent Marvel film ever (R). The young mu- tant-Laura is off-the chain dangerous. Cyborg Donald Pierce (Boyd Holbrook) plays a very good villian. Made - $152M-U.S./ foreign- $284M- (budget- $97M)- ****

Once ar- riving to the estate, Chris has to deal with the racial questions from Rose's family and friends. He is deeply disturbed by the Black servants on the estate as he soon realizes the family has a sinister secret that turns this film into a horror flick. Director Peele's of the comedy team of Key and Peele screenplay is twilight zone flawless as he received 100% from the movie critics. Must-see for horror fans. Made - $110M (budget- $4M)- ****
The Great Wall - A European assassin (Matt Damon) and his companions are searching for black powder become embroiled in the defense of the Great Wall of China with the Chinese army against an army of monstrous creatures.

Split - M. Night Shyamalan (Signs) directs a pyscho-thriller about three girls (Ana-Taylor Joy) being kidnapped by a mentally disturbed man with 24 distinct personalities. McAvoy should have been nominated for an Oscar for best male actor. Psychiatrist Dr. Karen Fletcher (Betty Buckley) shoud have been nominated for best supporting actress. A well-written script from Shyamalan. Must see for fans looking for a pyscho thriller. Made-$135M (budget-$9M)- ****
XXX: Return of Xander Cage - Daredevil Operative Xander Cage( Vin Diesel) returns from the dead to recruit a new group of thrill-seeking XXX members to find a Pandora’s box that controls the satellites in the world. The government (Toni Collette) sends Cage’s team in on a mission to get the box from a highly skilled team (Donnie “IP Man” Yen, Deepika Padukone). A predictable storyline full of stunts and violence. Being a Vin Diesel fan, I still enjoy it, even though the script was weak. Made $44M U.S./ foreign- $293M- (budget- $85M)- ***
Hidden Figures - Based on a true story, three Black women (Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, Janelle Monae) provide NASA with ground breaking mathematical data needed to launch and land the program’s first space mission. An amazing true story about the trials, tribulation, and triumph these women had to go through to be successful. A feel-good film. Must- see for everyone! Made - $162M (budget- $25M)- *****classic
If Your Birthday Is Today: You have strong personal ethics, which is why you admire people who have a sense of right and wrong. You are creative, original and highly inventive! A new nine- year cycle is beginning this year for you. Naturally, this opens up many possibilities! For example, you might start a new job or change residences. Open any door because your future is in your hands!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): This is a powerful time for you with the Sun now in your sign. “Look Ma, no hands!” It’s also a good time for you to negotiate financial matters and shop for what you like. Nevertheless, avoid arguments with siblings, relatives and neighbors late in the day. Mum’s the word.
Aries (March 21-April 19): You’re playing things low key. You might want to hide, and yet you feel the need to talk to some- one. If you venture forth from your lair, avoid disputes late today about money and possessions. Or disputes about the ownership of something or how to share something.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): This is a positive day. Enjoy schmoozing with friends and members of groups. However, later in the day, an argument with a close friend or partner might arise be- cause someone is quarrelsome, irritable and easily upset. Oops! When that happens, run for cover!
Gemini (May 21-June 20): You look good to bosses and VIPs right now. They think highly of you. Because of jealousy or a differ- ence of opinion, quarrels with a co-worker might erupt late in the day. Don’t take this to heart. Let it blow over. Remember: Things are always darkest before it gets pitch black.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Others seek out your advice now, especially about design, layout and how to make something look better. Meanwhile, you want to travel and learn more about the world. But today, arguments with a romantic partner or one of your kids might flare up. Remember: Patience is the antidote to anger.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Travel for pleasure appeals! Many of you are also keen to study and learn because you see that it enriches your life. All this is well and good. Just remember to sidestep a nasty argument with a parent or boss late in the day. It’s just a quick, short tempered silly thing.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Remember that you need more sleep right now. (Yeah, yeah, nag, nag, nag.) Today is a positive day; however, avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and race because they might erupt into an argument. Arguments about pub- lishing, the media, medicine and the law might also occur. Yikes.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You don’t like to talk about money. You keep your finances private. That’s why it’s good to know that you might want to avoid financial discussions about shared prop- erty, inheritances, wills, taxes and debt late this afternoon. Don’t even go there.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Today the Moon in your sign makes you more emotional than usual. Sadly, you might discover this late today when you get into an argument with a partner or close friend. Don’t come on too heavy with anyone.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your focus on home, family and your private life continues. You’re up for fun, parties and sports! Nevertheless, late in the day, you might have an argument with someone that is job-related or about a pet or something related to your health. Stay cool.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): This is a busy time with short trips, errands, reading, writing and conversations with everyone. Plus redecorating ideas and entertaining at home might add to your schedule. Avoid arguments with children and romantic partners late in the day. Take the high road.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your schmooze skills are top- notch now because of Mercury and Venus. You are totally Teflon. This is a good thing because late this afternoon, it’s easy to get into an argument with a family member. This dustup will be fast, intense and then gone. (You are protected.)
