Movie Review Friday: The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard stars Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, Antonio Banderos, Morgan Freeman and Salma Hayek. This is a shoot ‘em up, blow ‘em up comedy. It’s over the top, sometimes just goofy, corny and ridiculous but the entertainment value, for me, makes it well worth seeing. Stay with me, although confusing and disjointed, its jokes are funny and the chemistry between the actors is great. The film is like a wreck you can’t take your eyes off (3 Stars).
Gaia was the winner of the SXSW Film Festival. It’s a horror movie, very different from any horror movie I have ever seen. When a forest ranger is injured, she is rescued by two off the grid survivalist and learns there’s a lot more things in the forest than bears. Creative in every way and this movie could give you nightmares.
