INCREDIBLES 2 - Perfect for the whole family !

INCREDIBLES 2

Disney/Pixar's original family of superheroes are back after 14 years. And it's worth the wait ! Brad Bird, the creator and director of The Incredibles (2004) is back for the sequel. The first movie presented the heroes in an unconventional way - are they really heroes or menace to society ? This one tries to make the heroes super again ! And there's more character development with every member of the family.

This time, Elastigirl is at the forefront of the action. While Mr. Incredible stays at home to be the domestic father. They have family issues, and they also have personal issues, just like real people.  Bob Parr has to show that he can be a super dad even when he's  just at home dealing with the kids. Helen Parr has to work outside for her family. Violet has teen/girl issues. Dash needs help with his math lessons. And Jack-Jack has several superpowers !

The audience will easily relate with each character. And I'm sure most of them will have a favorite. Mine is Jack-Jack, who is so adorable ! He steals the show everytime he's onscreen ! 

Featuring the voices of Craig T. Nelson (Bob), Holly Hunter (Helen),  Sarah Vowell (Violet), Huck Miller (Dash), Sophia Bush (Voyd),  Samuel L. Jackson (Frozone), and Brad Bird as Edna Mode. There's plenty of action, laughter, and touching moments. It's a great film for the whole family ! One thing though, I hope it doesn't take Disney/Pixar another 14 years to make the Incredibles 3. Don't miss this one !   

OCEAN'S 8 - Women go stealing !

OCEAN'S 8

Debbie Ocean, sister of legendary con-man Danny Ocean, is recently released from prison after spending five years in jail. She immediately reconnects with her former partner-in-crime Lou Miller, and together start to recruit a team of women who are experts in their field.  Their target - a diamond necklace worth $150 million.

Sandra Bullock leads an all-star cast which includes Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, & Awkwafina. Each of these girls contribute to pull-off the greatest heist of their lives.

Just watching these women's camaraderie, planning, and execution is so much fun !  They are intelligent, precise, and organized. Indeed it's empowering !

Watch out for several celebrity cameos at the Met Gala scenes - Dakota Fanning, Gigi Hadid, Kim Kardashian, Heidi Klum, Katie Holmes, Serena Williams, etc. Directed by Gary Ross (Hunger Games). Rated R-13. From Warner Bros. Pictures.

JURASSIC WORLD : FALLEN KINGDOM - Isla Nublar is no more !

JURASSIC WORLD : FALLEN KINGDOM

It's been three years since we last saw these dinosaurs. The Jurassic World park has been destroyed, and the dinos were left by humans to fend for themselves. Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) and Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) were hired to go back to Isla Nublar to save the remaining dinosaurs before an active volcano erupts and destroys the whole island. But alas, there's a hidden agenda in saving the extinct animals.

This is the fifth in the Jurassic series, but there's still plenty of action and adventure with these prehistoric creatures. And there's more terrifying scenes ! Finally the dinos are off the island.

Chris Pratt brings the same charm and swagger in most of his film, while Bryce Dallas Howard is more likable here. Funny how the camera focused on her heals on her very first scene. New characters Dr. Zia, the techie boy Franklin, and the little girl Maisie are good additions to the franchise. Fans of the original trilogy would be thrilled to see Jeff Goldblum's Dr. Ian Malcolm. But he wasn't given much to do except for a short cameo.

All-in-all this is an enjoyable film that has plenty of action pieces and horror scenes. Stay for the post-credit scene where they'll take the dinos for Jurassic World 3. Co-written by Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly. Directed by J. A. Bayona. Rated PG-13.
