The Town (Movie, 2010)

This movie is packed with authentic locations (the rough Charlestown section of Boston), car chases, and rich characters - and mixed with a great story. I have never been a big Ben Affleck fan but believe this was a perfect film for him being from Boston himself. This particular neighborhood is called Charlestown which was apparently known for an abundance of robberies. Rebecca Hall who plays as the clueless young woman who falls for Doug. I love her naturalness in this film.

The Hitman's Bodyguard (Movie, 2017)

Plenty of action scenes with nicely choreographed fight scenes. However, constant cussing badly mars this otherwise enjoyable comic action flick. The unwilling buddy relationship of Jackson and Ryan was contagiously funny - no two people have hated one another to such the point of love and grudging professional respect! 

It's a fun and delightful comedy.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle (Movie, 2017)

The first movie was original and entertaining. We enjoyed this sequel comedy. Elton was a hoot.  However, The language in this movie was straight out of the gutter, way too much cussing.

Despicable Me 3 (Movie, 2017)

I really liked the first two but this one fell flat. Minions started out as good comic relief in the first two movies and established a cult following, even among adults. Problem is, with their simple minds and goofy language, they can only be funny for so long before they just become parodies of themselves.

Spider-Man: Homecoming (Movie, 2017)

The movie was for grade-school children. It was not like or even close to the other Spider-man movies. The acting and plot were the worst I've seen in years. Even the specials effects were lame.  To treat Spider-Man as a boy going through puberty is just dumb.
