Meryl Streep is in this. So does Ricky Springfield. Most things where Ms Streep in it could possibly be good. Hope this one too. It may your typical Aged folk getting into rock thing. Well lets see.

Completed. Not that bad as I thought. Ending shooting saved the day. Quite spending on explosives, I reckon

Usual stuff but this one we know that Sen .. what his name (B Cooper) is not that bad. He even made an appearance in this episode. But that black baldy former James Bond MI6 personnel is bad news. Good analogy is the difference between and employee and a partner, what made them.

Before We go

PReview
This movie was chosen for the reason non other than Captain America is in it. Alice Eve is also familiar but cant remember from where. Lets have a dose of romance for a change. As you can see, Chris Evans is again bearded in this one. He's following Keanu Reeves and they both acted together before in 1 movie i am trying to recall. Lets hope this does not disappoint.

REVIEW
Deciding to watch this movie is deciding to spend some time in something romantic, which i did. At the start of the the film indications were everywhere that this is a low budget film with unknown who cares director. The attraction to sit down to watch are the 2 lead actors. C Evans is of course our Captain America and Alice Eve (The brit chick) was in "Dirty Weekend" as the lesbian brunnete (i remember). But here she was still a brit but a blonde and slim down a bit.
Wont touch on how the story went but what I can say it is an impressive romantic story with 2 believable and possibly existant characters in real life. This could be a shoe string budget film. But one thing that draw my intention is how come Chris Evan's physique is so ordinary ? He did CA2 in 2014. But he definitely did not seem so here.
The plot is not your ordinary boy meets girl and fall in love and the end. Even the ending left too many questions as there could be a sequel to this one to come. But both Brooke and Nick love stories seem to be at the extreme (but could happen). Boy splitted with his ex GF for 6 years already but feeling is still there while Girl is not happily married and still love her jilted husband and wanted to give another chance.
And the most touching part is at the end at the pay phone where Nick confessed that he need Brooke more than she need him. How they parted at Grand Central Station was also not seem cheesy at all.
BTW one of the writer did won an oscar for Rain Man. But guess who was the director - non other than Captain America himself !
One of the best romantic movie i have seen.

This movie is chosen not because of the picturesque of the poster rather than the actors in it. Hope this does not disappoint. Reckon about old men thinking young again ? Ms D Craig is in this. That is a watch.

This film was chosen because Kurt Russel is in it. The last movie he did which we see was FF7. So he's back to his root with a cowboy film. Second because of good imdb rating. Enjoy.
Review
First of all, before seeing this movie one must be sure that one like or can tolerate lengthy limited budget cowboy film. Why not as this is a 2 hr 12 m long movie but with notable actors like Russel, Fox, Wilson and even Jenkins too. During the show which felt dragging, knowing that its long, was what you paid money for. Simple plot about kidnapping and a very determined but handicapped posse to save them.
Here are some notable observation in the movie :-
- The footsteps in the bar and sheriff office was really prominiently loud. Which is actually what should be of a cowboy film as the floors are made of wood !
- These cowboys sometimes used big words. Words which can improve your vocabulary and you wouldnt think these folks could apply in their chatting.
- What made me (or many people to continue seeing) was when the lady doctor got abducted. As there was an able bed scene, audience thought they must be some more in front. On the contrary, there was non and we were feasted with gory butchered bodies. Didnt the savages want anything to do with Mdm Doctor ?
- If the movie was cut short at 1 1/2hr movie the suspense could be more contained. But even at this length its ok as the scenes (thou slow) fit the story nicely. But dont ask me how they can walk so far so fast when thier horses got stolen or how a broken nearly amputated leg cowboy did it, god knows.

Overall, this is a well done movie. The mixture of the goriness, action and drama is right enough to make it enjoyable through out. Thumbs up for cowboy film.

- Brooklyn 99
One of the best in the series seen. Non stop slapstick layered jokes. About the captain and Jake competing for the crown on Holloween.
- Blacklist
Tom making his way back. A father who change the gender of his daughter by cutting off the penis because he is gay. Gee thats a first. Gambi (Red's bodyguard) may be dead.
- How to get away with murder
Now this series is getting much much complicated to the point of cant understand
- CSI Cyber Crime 
About some boys being lured by a android Apps to the woods by some mentally retarded artist. This episode has many cliches; new girl meets boy, man befriending woman, boy makes up with girl, father got sick etc. But still the episode did not work out for me. Maybe just a bit.
- Mdm Secretary
Interesting. In this episode shows the family thing about Elizabeth and the president when the son and daughters' picture was hijack from the president's son phone. Thought of ditching the series part way of this episode but then the plot turns better. Finally made me realise why i like this series after all.
- Quantico
The series is with too many characters and too frequent flashback between the day the bomb went off (present time) and the day they were training in Quantico. It could be called "Manual of Quantico Training". The suspense is who is the traitor among the many.
- Homeland
Good old Pete saving Carrie after all. Very slow at tortoise pace yet the show was engaging. Not too much plot to give you headache but interesting enough to wait for another Sunday. Good writing and acting this one is.
