Hi friends. Today I'll be reviewing 5 films. These are late reviews. Sorry about that. Tje films are
GRANDMA, THE DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL, THE DUFF, BARELY LETHAL &
IT FOLLOWS.
GRANDMA
Grandma is hilariuos. LILY TOMLIN plays Elle Reid
a woman who just broke up with her much younger
girlfriend named Olive played by Judy Greer. After
her break up Elle finds out her 16 year old granddaughter
Sage played by newcomer Julia Garner tells Elle that she
is pregnant & that she needs $600 for an a abortion so
Elle takes Sage on a wild road trip to try to raise the funds
before they have to go Sage's mother Judy played by Maarcia
Guy Harden. So go see GRANDMA you'll laugh your head off.
LILY TOMLIN just might win her long over due Oscar.
THE DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL
The Diary Of A Teenage Girl staars 19 year old newcomer
Bel Pawley who plays Minnie a 15 year old who is just
discovering her body. She has fantasies about making love
to her mothers boyfriend played by TRUE BLOOD star
Alexander Skaarsgard. Her mother is played by
Kristen Wigg in her dramitic debut. It's a good thing that Bel
Pawley was 19 at the time of filming this movie cause she had to
do a lot of nude scenes. Bel really has a beautiful body. I could
see Bel Pawley getting an Oscar nomination for her work on this
film. She would deservre it.
IT FOLLOWS
Maika Monroe plays Jay. A 19 year old who after a night of sex
is plague by visions of someone or something following ner.
She then finds out that the boy had sex with a woman who passed
something deadly on to him and the only way to get rid of it
is to pass it on to some one else. So her friends try to hrlp her stay
alive. If you want a good scare see IT FOLLOWS. But don't watch
it alone.
THE DUFF
Mae Whitman fresh off her 6 year run on PARENTHOOD as troubeld
teen Amber Holt stars as Bianca Piller who finds out through a child
hood friend that her whole high school life has been a lie when she learns
her two best friends Casey & Jess played by Bianca Santos & Skyler Samuels
have been using her as a duff(Designated Ugly Fat Friend). She breaks up with
her friends & she turns to her friend Wesley played by Robbie Amell late of
THE TOMORROW PEOPLE she ask him for help in trying to pretty which
makes Wesley's on again off again girlfriend Madison played by SHAKE IT
OFFS Bella Thorne jealous. The critics are right THE DUFF is this generations
MEAN GIRLS. The film has a great supporting cast of adult actors. ALLISON JANNEY
as Bianca's mother Dottie and KEN JEONG as Bianca's favorite teacher. So see THE DUFF
you'll laugh your head off.
BARELY LETHAL
It's been a banner year for HAILEE STEINFELD. First she
had the blockbuster hit PITCH PERFECT 2 for which she
will be in PITCH PERFECT 3. Hailee plays a teenage
assasin who really wants to be a regular teen. SAMUEL L.
JACKSON co-stars as Hailee's trainer who sends her out on
a mission to capture a rogue agent played by Jessica Alba.
During her mission Hailee's Agent 83 fakes her own death
& goes to live with a family which includes RACHEL HARRIS
very funny and also includes LIV & MADDIE'S DOVE CAMERON.
BARELY LETHAL has a lot of good action & is very well paced for
laughs & the action. So see BARELY LETHAL you'll want to see it again
& again
So that's it for my reviews. My next review will be of JOHNNY
DEPPS new movie BLACK MASS. On Saturday September
26th I'll be seeing the musical FIRST DATE. It's direct from
