"GIFTED" Movie Review

(GIFTED - COVER)

If there's one thing I took from this movie it's that Mckenna Grace is the next big thing in the future of Hollywood, or at least I feel like she'll be. Reminding me of Dakota Fanning when she was around the same age as Mckenna, the young star absolutely aced her role in this film. Every emotion, every moment, and every scene was easy to feel whenever Mckenna was in it, which made this a very enjoyable movie to watch. As far as the other actors and actresses in this film, there acting was pretty good as well. As you can see in the picture above, well-known actor Chris Evans (Captain America, Fantastic Four) plays the girls parental guardian, and did an exceptional job at playing it, especially add in the fact that he usually doesn't play older character in films.

The story line itself could be looked at as simple, but I actually find it rather realistic and controversial, which also makes it an interesting film. I actually found myself almost tearing up at ones of the seems, BUT CHILL, I'm still a real *****. But yes, if you're looking for a solid film with emotional, funny, and entertaining scenes, this movie is for you.

THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS Review

(THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS - COVER)

The Fate of the Furious... hmmmm, where do I start with this one??? Originally being one of the most dedicated Fast and the Furious fans alive, I found myself losing love for them after the 4th movie they released. I felt like the concept of what the movies were originally about were being lost and substituted for unrealistic heists and scenes. Later I realized that although many things that I liked about the original Fast and the Furious movies were being forgotten, that the new movies that were being created overall were still VERY GOOD MOVIES. It felt as if I was saying goodbye to an old car and buying a newer, faster, and more kick ass one, which is certainly alright with me. Fast and the Furious went from crazy drag racing scenes to cars jumping out of windows, but either one is still fun to watch. So now watching the newest version of the series titled "The Fate of the Furious" with my evolved mindset, I have to say that I was indeed very impressed and entertained with everything that took place in the film. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was INCREDIBLE, and will always and has been one of my favorite action actors since his movie "The Rundown". A 10/10 ACTION FILM for sure. Incredible job by the people who made this The Fate of the Furious. I am looking forward to the next one if they choose to make another.

P.S. the ending will probably make you cry. BEAUTIFUL.
