What We Did On Our Holiday

Pike (Gone Girl) and Tennant (Dr Who) are the parents of three hilarious children. Although they are getting a divorce they put that aside to visit his father (Connolly from Boondock Saints) who is dying. When he does die - the kids get  a brilliant idea. All in all, I say: RENT IT - it'[s pretty funny.

Life in Pieces

A half hour comedy show about a family that is shown in three or four separate parts. It makes it different than Modern Family, but it is just as funny. In fact, it's a bit more fast paced and the wit for adults is there - my kind of humor. Hanks (Roswell), Wiest (Parenthood), Sadoski (Newsroom), and Brolin (Hotel) all star. All in all, I say: SEE IT - very funny

Cooties

Elementary school kids at summer school eat contaminated chicken nuggets and turn into zombies who eat their teachers. Wood (Lord of the Rings), Wilson (The Office), Garcia (Lost), McBrayer (20 Rock) and Pill (Snowpiercer) all star. It's a funny, horror, zombie flick. All in all, I say: SEE IT if you like Zombie movies.

Furious 7

Statham (Transporter) wants revenge for his brother and goes for the gang. Some die, some don't...it's the same crew. The action is the only reason to see the movie - it's always well done. The plot is thin. The end is sad - there is a tribute to Paul Walker. All in all, I say: SEE IT if you have seen the other six otherwise SKIP IT

Geeks Who Drink

Levi (Heroes Reborn) hosts this half hour game show on SyFy. Geeks real and those who play them in tv and movies play a trivia game for prizes. It makes me smile and it's a fun kind of trivia. All in all, I say: SEE IT - your fandom will appear at some point.

Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials

Better than the second book in the series of the same name. It is faster paced and skips all the gross parts I hated in the book. It mixes a ton from the 3rd book too if I am remembering correctly. All the same characters that survived the 1st appear. Esposito (Smoke), Taylor (Ransom), Pepper (Green Mile), and Gillen (The Wire) also star. All in all, I say: SEE IT - if you saw the 1st.

The Player

Winchester (Strike Back) is a former FBI guy who does security, but after his wife is maybe killed he meets up with Snipes (Blade) who promises him an outlet for his revenge. The action is totally awesome and worth the horrible plot. People with a lot of money betting on whether the bad guy or the good guy will win and the local police can't know. Okay...doesn't seem the least bit realistic. All in all, I say: SEE IT if you like to see Winchester without a shirt doing his martial arts thing - no accent though - sorry.
