Spiderman - Homecoming

Jean, This is a new and fresh Spiderman. It starts with Tom Holland as the very young Spiderman. He is in high school and he looks and acts like it. (This has almost a John Hughes feel to many parts of this movie.) Then add Michael Keaton and Robert Downey Jr. and you have a great combination. Just listen to the dialogue between Spiderman and Downey Jr. it is so fast and clever and very ,very funny. Like he comes back so fast with such comments as "that has a very Springsteeny  feel to it." They list six writers for the movie and the results show it.

The action scenes are top-notch and so imaginative. So much fun. Both Ironman and Captain America show up but the entire movie is so lighthearted and almost buoyant.  I see it as one of the best of he Spiderman movies. Dad

The previews are:

Pitch Perfect 3
Kinsman:The Golden Circle
Daddy Home 2
Wonder
The Dark Tower
Justice League

The Beguiled

Jean, I think this was one of the best films I have seen in a long time. It has the setting and costumes and acting by the entire cast and a well directed story line. From beginning to end, it has a consistent excellent handling of the material. (Some reviewers thought it was limited by being, maybe, from the women character's view , with stylist touches and not embracing the true violence of the story. I did not see any of that .) The main characters of Nicole Kidman and Colin Farrell and Kirsten Dunst all give very believable performances. In only 93 minutes, I think you get a great bit of arresting story-telling by Sofia Coppola. There are periods where I do not think I moved a muscle so absorbed was I. Dad

P.S. The Previews are:

Landline
A Ghost Story
The Glass Castle
Atomic Blonde
Dunkirk

Baby Driver

Jean, This has to be on of the most entertaining and over the top heist and crazy get -a -way movies ever made. They do things with cars that are beyond understanding.  On top of that is the soundtrack which is a star in this movie. (The driver listens to his music on his iPod as he drives away from the bank robberies ) There some stars in this one especially Kevin Spacey at his most mean. The lead  is played by Ansel Elgort who is perfect for the young driver.  Dad

P,S. The previews are:
