More New Films

The Intruder 2019  - is a psychological thriller film which stars Michael Ealy and Meagan Good as Scott and Annie Howard, a couple who buy a country house only to realize the previous owner Charlie Peck (Dennis Quaid) is a extremely weird guy who seems set on keeping some kind of creepy eye on (his) home.. Wait didn't he sell it to them?.. I couldn't help but question the numerous crazy "I seen that coming" moments in the film.. after all normally when you buy a home the creepy previous owner doesn't show up on your doorstep at every turn.. However even I didn't foresee the ending..  Overall I loved the film, even though the film met with mixed reviews.. .. in my opinion it was beyond creepy.. and I even got to see one of my favorite actors from the TV show "Power"..  A definite must see thriller..


Men in Black: International 2019 - is a sci-fi action comedy .. and a spin off of the original Men in Black film franchise..  After the events in Men in Black 3 London created its own branch of MIB ..and Molly Wright (Tessa Thompson) joins MIB as Agent M.   High T (played by Liam Neeson) pairs her with Agent H.. (Chris Hemsworth) .. however the two are quickly involved in a series of alien attacks that send them around the world .. searching for an enemy that threatens the entire galaxy..

I have to admit the movie met with mixed reviews.. and it definitely does not possess the dynamic duo of Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones.. although it does have some of the same aesthetics (special effects).. in my opinion it just doesn't hit the mark as that of the original film franchise.. but very few sequels or spin offs are ever equal to the original films..  Overall I found MIB International to be funny and enjoyable to watch..  The pair doesn't share the amazing chemistry that Jones and Smith did in years past but I think the director and other powers that be who made the movie..  tried to focus on this film being a modern spin off of the original franchise.. Movie Trailer


Rocketman 2019 - is a truly epic biographical musical fantasy film based on the life of musician Elton John.. and stars Taron Egerton as Elton John.. The movie follows John's early years as a prodigy at the Royal Academy of Music to his long standing musical partnership with Bernie Taupin.. The film is titled after Elton's 1972 song "Rocket Man"..  Elton John was born in 1947 as Reginald "Reggie" Dwight to his parents Sheila and Stanley..  Unfortunately the film shows the emotional detachment between him and his mother .. as well as his father who eventually abandons the family after Sheila has an affair.. Reggie who has been studying piano takes an interest in rock music and begins to perform in local pubs before joining a band.. I can't possibly explain how engrossing this film is.. as well as insightful, heart-breaking and gripping.. I loved it.. The film is a musical and highlights Elton's songs over the years as well as his troubles with addiction and finding love..  Simply an Amazing Film..and definitely worth watching.. Trailer


Ma 2019 - is a psychological thriller that follows a group of teenagers who after asking Sue Ann Ellington (Octavia Spencer) a middle aged woman to buy alcohol for them ..  gets more than they bargained for when she starts allowing them to party in her basement..  The movie is disturbingly twisted.. and just plain creepy..   


Godzilla: King of the Monsters 2019 - is an American monster movie and a sequel to Godzilla 2014 film..  In the film, members of the cryto-zoological agency Monarch as they face off against a battery of apocalyptic monstrous creatures including Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah.. However fortunately the mighty Godzilla is on humanity's side and fights the other super species in a battle for supremacy and dominance.. The film is jam packed with action from start to finish.. and very reminiscent of the Japanese sci-fi Godzilla films..  I was hoping for better visual effects but overall it is a definite must see especially if you use to watch as a child the old Japanese Godzilla films on Saturday mornings..  Trailer


Hotel Mumbai 2019  - is a biographical, action film and inspired by the 2009 documentary Surviving Mumbai about the Mumbai terrorist attacks in 2008 including the attack at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in India.. as members of Lashkar-e-Taiba stormed the Taj Mahal in a series of coordinated attacks throughout the city .. As chaos ensued with gunfire and mayhem ..the film focuses on a brave chef and kitchen worker who decided to risk their own lives to try and protect their frightened guests.. and a young family trying to do whatever it takes to make it back to their newborn baby.. even as militants continue their assault on the hotel.. killing everyone in their path.. Amazing courage was shown during the attack and I highly recommend this film ..as it is astounding, highly brutal yet inspiring to watch.. A truly gripping film ..
