Red Notice
The Rock (Dwayne Johnson), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), and Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) combine for a hilarious and surprisingly good romp of a jewelry heist. Actually, several heists. Think of Tomb Raider mixed with Raiders of the Last Ark and you’ll get the drift. The prize is the “lost” third egg that Marc Antony gifted to Cleopatra (yeah, a little dubious on the history of that),…
Sandy River Adventure
There is an incredible zip line adventure just an hour’s drive from Richmond-Sandy River Adventure Park. We’ve been there before, but it’s just as good as ever. This picture features Owen, Tristan, and Even, but here’s a link to all the pictures.
Florida with Tristan and Ethan
Since we weren’t able to fly to Mexico this year, aka “The world has gone nuts over the virus,” and we needed to take a week or lose it with our timeshare, we opted for Florida. We limited our cargo to two of the four Patton grandkids, as four was just too many to handle. We ended up with Ethan and Tristan. The picture is…
Run
Who doesn’t love their momma? But, what if you discover a secret about her that you can’t forgive? Chloe is a wheelchair bound teenager, and except for that one disadvantage, is living a pretty normal life with her mom. But one day, she spots a little label in a grocery bag, and it turns her life upside down. Uh oh, mom finds out she knows,…
Bone Tomahawk
An interesting blend of western and horror genres, this movie will have you wondering where it’s going one minute, and then shrieking in shock, the next. Kurt Russell plays the part of the town sheriff, and leads a small posse after some local town people are kidnapped by some wild Indians. But, these are not your normal, run of the mill, red people. As they…
Slow Burn, movie review
A cut above your normal murder mystery, and very enjoyable. No long, drawn out pointless conversations, plenty of action and slow burning intensity. And you can’t go wrong with Ray Liotta. Freebie on Amazon Prime Video.
Dismissed, movie review
Good psycho thriller, about a new high school student that appears to be excellent at everything he does. Maybe, a little too much, when he starts correcting his literature teacher, and won’t stand for any criticism. But, this is no ordinary high school student–he takes things very, very seriously, and in an act of revenge for a perceived undue low grade on a paper, the…
What Happened to Monday?
In this dystopian future, you’re only allowed to have one sibling. And there are dire circumstances if you try to violate the law. One family pushes it, and manages to hide 7 identical children, all girls. Since they all look alike, they take turns venturing out into the world on their chosen day. The child named Monday on Monday, etc. They all have the same…
The Perfection, movie review
Starts out innocently enough: two world class cellists meet up and become lovers. But one of them has an ulterior motive; one that will lead to betrayal, physical violence, blood spillage, and brutal revenge. But, that doesn’t reveal itself until this movie has thrown you for a loop or two. It turns out that they have a history. Just a brief meeting when they were…
The Gift, with Cate Blanchett
Another freebie on Netflix. A murder mystery, but really well done, with Keanu Reeves in a very different kind of role for him–a wife beater. Annie (Cate) has a “gift” that lets her see things in other people’s past. One of Annie’s clients is Valerie (Hillary Swank), who’ s married to the wife beater. After a woman disappears, Valerie shows up one day with a…
