• Mythoughts 

Another SA production on the international platform marred by trying to fit in with Hollywood tendencies & end up giving the mass audience which is African an unoriginal work of art.

The storyline is simple & predictive & fast paced to a point we as the audience couldn't get to have connections with any character.

That alone created a lot of unrealistic turnouts like how quick trusting occurred There is less background on half the people to a point you wonder why they're even there.

Example the cops's wife.

The afrikaanse team came of as dumb, can't even open a warehouse, can't even catch thieves inside a Mall ...Lol seriously.

Then there is the trio, with which their entire cameo was like something ripped from some Hollywood new age Hollywood robin hoods Running a perfect unrealistic syndicate I'm sorry that's just not African & it bored me to death, the entire acting, bar marshal arts was just cringe.

I raise both my hands to the VFX team, they nailed it with the hyena & the gunshots

Eventually when credits roll you wonder what was the purpose in this movie.
 

Movie description  - While fleeing from dangerous assailants, an assassin comes out of hiding to protect the daughter she left earlier in life.

My thoughts  - Yet another vanity project for Lopez, this time as an action hero with fur coats, and the same hair and makeup in pretty much every scene, even if the scenes are 12 years apart. This film needed a more versatile actress, one that would lose the long hair locks and have it messed up, one that could handle - and look convincing, with some dirt and scratches on her face, one who can show some facial expressions relevant to each scene, not the constant "ya I'm tough" expressionless look and tone.

Next we have a story that took three prolific writers who've written some great films and series in the past, to come up with a monotonous, repetitive, cliched and underwhelming screenplay with bits from many better films in this genre. The poorly paced nearly two-hour runtime felt much longer with many dragged out, unnecessary and predictable scenes. You know exactly what's going to happen, and you waste time watching it happen stretched out for so long, you can just fast-forward and not miss a thing. Top that all off with a director that decided to use a blurred fish-eye lens effect in some scenes, I thought I was having migraine episodes.

Had a more convincing actress been cast, it may have made the dull filmmaking a little more bearable, but combined all together, it's not the gift any mom would want for Mother's Day. It's a pass from me, and a very generous 6/10

Everything is at stake for a 40-year-old woman: her career, her ticking biological clock, and her bank account. She risks it all for an intense, secret romance with the one person who could destroy her comeback

Amy Schumer: Emergency Contact
Over the years her comedy got quite stale unfortunately. Eventually it seemed (to us) that Amy had left comedy to start a family. We figured good for her. She did very well for herself while in the limelight.

Well... She's back.... with a special? I was curious, despite the large amount of distaste she has garnered for herself over the years with some of the biggest names in stand up. I gave it a try.

Nothing relatable out of the gates. L. A. Plastic surgery material from a frumpy wanna-be funny mom? Hard pass. I feel like this was specifically for her friends and family, but thought it was good enough to make some cash from. I'm curious if she actually tried the material out more than a couple times outside her friends and family... This was NOT "special" material by any measure.

Amy uses the exact same comedy beats that she used years ago. The jokes MIGHT be new, but the same tired delivery was enough to turn me off. I did chuckle a couple of times, but i might have just been attempting to find something funny.

Two best friends try to make it through high school while dealing with embarrassing new urges and their very inconvenient feelings for each other.

When a bounty hunter's two kids accidentally hitch a ride into outer space and crash his latest mission, they discover that their dad's job is anything but boring; dodging aliens and laser fights, this family's bonding time goes to the extreme.
All THE PLACES: STREAM IT OR SKIP IT?
The Gist: Gabriela’s (Ana Serradilla) expression says it all: She’s deeply sad and outrageously pissed. Her father passed away after a cancer battle and her brother is missing the funeral. The ceremony is over and friends and family gather graveside as she says a few words about her dear dad and, finally, Fernando (Mauricio Ochmann) arrives – and that’s when the pissed part of her takes over the sad part. She stops mid-eulogy to attack Fernando, and the scuffle finds them slapping and shoving each other, stumbling and falling over tombstones. Uh huh. Mind you, these people are adults. Not just barely adults, like 19 years old, but 40-something adults who should know better than to act like dopes at their father’s service, but hey, these are Movie People, so who expects them to act rationally? I mean, can’t they just passive-aggressively simmer and let their true feelings curdle in their gut like mature people in real life would do?
Cutesy scenes from little Gabo and Fer’s childhood play during the opening credits. It seems they were once inseparable, and they were especially tight after their mother died. They were still schoolchildren when that happened. But that all changed when Fernando took a swanky job with a bank in Singapore and apparently barely looked back. Bitterness settled in for reasons that remain vague, but I think it has something to do with Gabriela feeling stuck at home, working in their father’s auto shop and taking care of him when he fell ill, while Fernando did his own thing and presumably never ever visited. I don’t know if “estranged” is the right word, but their relationship seems to fall on the lower end of the estrangement spectrum. And here they are, in their late father’s home, the house they grew up in, surrounded by all his stuff, and their old stuff. Gabriela gives Fernando the silent treatment. She hits the tequila. After a bit, so does he. Then he dusts off the good ol’ ping pong table and they have a go. The wall between them crumbles. Is there still some lingering resentment? Of course! But at least they’re talking now. And drunk. Quite drunk.
It’s in such moments that Movie People do impulsive things. They walk to their pop’s auto garage and there in the back are the motorcycles they had as kids. They’re vintage now, these bikes. And they remember how they once vowed to ride those bikes from here in San Miguel de Allende all the way to Acapulco. They even drew a map and made rules – e.g., they have to take turns doing whatever the other wants to do, the first to get there has to pee in the ocean, etc. – and everything. So it’s the middle of the night and they’re still drunk and they hop on the motorcycles and go, and they don’t bother to pack a toothbrush or a phone charger or anything. There will be detours on the way, at a wine-and-cheese festival so they can wedge bottle caps in their shoes – bottle caps? At a WINE festival? Just go with it, people! – so they can do their old tap-dance routine; at a hippie gathering so they can accidentally take way too many drugs; in Mexico City so old regrets can be addressed, you know, stuff like that. Will the trip yield a well-balanced blend of wacky adventures and soul-searching poignancy? Is the sky blue? Does a chicken like to peck? Does tequila make you stupider?
