Four Movie Reviews

Pop Quiz, our last about celebrities who have secured patents. Today, name the celebrity who got a patent for an anti-gravity movie special effect. Is it Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Stan Lee or Michael Jackson?

Movie Review Friday: Starting with Sicario, the 2015 Drug Cartel thriller is back and bigger and better than ever. A CIA kidnapping, corruption at the Mexican border, a KC bombing and even human trafficking, never a dull moment. Josh Brolin is fabulous as a CIA operative and Benicio Del Toro is always great as a bad guy. From Mexico City to the Cali desert, all the remote locations are incredible. (Rated R) – (117 Minutes) – (3 ½ Stars).

The best movie of the week and naturally in limited release, Leave No Trace. What a great film, Ben Foster stars about a dad and his teenage daughter who literally live off the grid in a forest in Oregon. But officials find out and they are arrested but given a home and an allowance. It is a shock to both and too much for dad so, they escape back to nature. But the daughter has tasted the modern life and wants to go back. What a terrific film. Best movie of the year. (4 Stars)

And the best documentary of the year and naturally, again, in limited release, Three Identical Strangers. It’s the old true story about triplets who discover each other by accident as adults. But the new story tells the real twist, why their parents separated them and why they kept it a secret, you won’t believe the reason. Mind Blowing! Three Identical Stragers gets 4 identical stars.

And, Uncle Drew. Product placement is like one big Pepsi and Nike commercial! The make-up is award winning, however the movie is quite lame. (2 Stars).

Answer – Michael Jackson.
