Hi Friends. Today I will be reviewing the movies Paul B;art: Mall Cop 2 & The Divergent Series:
Insurgen. First up PAUL BLART 2.




                                                                    PAUL BLART 2
What can I say about PAUL BLART 2. I thought it was just as funny as the first one. It had a host
of funny people. The best of the newcomers was Loni Love. She was hilarious. Raini Rodriguez
was also fun to watch. It was nice to see all the funny people that Kevin James knows in one
movie. It was six years too long for a sequel. Hopefully it wont take another six years for
PAUL BLART: MALL COP 3. It was also nice to see LAS VEGAS as a major setting in a
story.



                                                                        INSURGENT
The Divergent Series: INSURGENT was also an awesome movie. I hope everyone has read the
book because I will be giving away some major plot lines. One major complaint about the
movie is that they got rid of some of the characters you grown to care for in the book. One
character only has a cameo and that is Marlene who plays a major part in the first book as well
as the second book. Octavia Spencer was a good choice for Johanna leader of the Amity.
Also good was Naomi Watts as Evelyn Fours Mother and leader of the factionless.
One of the bad guys Eric does meet his demise in the film as does major bad guy
Jeanine Matthews. The only thing about the way Jeanine dies in the film is that
is different from the book. Tris kills Jeanine in the book but in the film Evelyn kills her.
I was so looking forword to seeing Tris kill Jeanine. There were some funny moments
in the film but I'll let you see them for yourself.




That's it for today. My next couple of major reviews will be of THE AVENGERS
THE AGE OF ULTRON. Also TOMORROWLAND, MINIONS, SAN ANDREAS,
the new POLTERGEIST, PAN, HOT PURSUIT, PITCH PERFECT 2. From the stage
MATILDA: THE MUSICAL & the new production of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA.
See you next time.

Hi Guys. In my review of CARRIE THE MUSICAL yesterday I forgot to mention that the show was way better than the SISSY SPACECK original & waaaay better than the CHLOE GRACE MORETZ
remake. My next reviews will be of PAUL BLART: MALL COP 2 & INSURGENT.

Hi Friends. Tonight I will be reviewing the LA. world premiere of CARRIE THE MUSICAL which just finished a spectacular sold out run at THE LA MIRADA THEATRE FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS. What can I say? The show was awesome. The score by Michael Gore & Dean Pitchford was so amazing. I've been a big fan of the cast recording since I bought it last September. Such a big fan that I even notice new lyrics to the song "DO ME FAVOR" The star of the show EMILY LOPEZ gave original star MOLLY RANSOM a run for her money. As did MISTY COTTON as Carrie's
nut job mother. She gave MARIN MAZZIE a run for the money. EMILY LOPEZ was so brave to appear nude for the 1st 10 minutes of the show. There were about 200 people in the theatre. We sitting right on the stage. The audience was actually part of the show. As you entered the theatre they gave you wrist bands to let you know what part of the audience you would be sitting in. If you were lucky enough to have the red wrist bands you were really part of the show. The red wrist bands ment that you sat in what they called pods that moved. During parts of the show the actors actually moved the seats you were sitting in. The show used very little in terms of props. The best songs of the show were, "OPEN YOUR HEART", "AND EVE WAS WEAK", "IN", "CARRIE", "DO ME A FAVOR", "ONCE YOU SEE", "I REMEMBER HOW THOSE BOYS COULD DANCE", "A NIGHT WE'LL NEVER FORGET" & "WHY NOT ME". The show had a awesome supporting cast which included TEYA PATT, CARLY BRACCO, JENNELL LYNN RANDELL, KAYLA PARKER, IAN LITTLEWORTH, JON ROBERT HALL, GARRETT MARSHALL, and as bad girl Chris VALORIE ROSE CURIEL.The way Chris meets her demise is awesome. On the shows last day one of the cast member told me that they might move the show to an other location in L.A. I was lucky enough to see the show 5 times.I really really loved it. So if your lucky enough to see it any time soon I highly recommend it. You'll Have A Night You'll Never Forget.

Hi Guys. Today I will be reviewing the Disney film Cinderella. What can I say about Cinderella.
Only that movie was awesome!!! Cate Blanchette did such a good job as the wicked stepmother.
The highlight of the movie was Helena Bonham Carter. She stole the film as Cinderella's
Fairy Godmother. Everthing else about the film was also great. The sets & costumes deserve
Oscar nods. As does Cate. She blew me away as did Lily James. I'm a little upset that the
powers that be at Disney have the nerve to do remakes of two of their best films. The 1st is
a remake of PETE'S DRAGON. Why  would they do that? Also they plan to do a live action
version of DUMBO. With TIM BURTON directing. That would something to see. The remake of
PETE'S DRAGON is not even a musical. The music of the original was the best thing about the
movie. Next time I will be reviewing the musical version of CARRIE which just completed
a sucessful run at THE LA MIRADA THEATRE FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS.
Until next time friends.
