Reel Talk:


The gangs back again in what is billed as the 4th and final installment of this iconic vampire series. I can honestly say that I have not been all that impressed with anyone in particular until this one. It is the best of the series. Mainly because the characters are a little bit more livelier than the previous ones. Bella who normally walked around clueless and dull actually had some spunk this time and even Edward had more fire in his attitude. This one is also not solely based on the love between the two but rather their love for the family and the will to fight to protect each other. Yes it is more action friendly. Well worth checking out this one to close out the series. But there is still room for maybe another one!

Reel Talk:


Denzel Washington continues to show why he is still one of the best actors in the game. Flight is an exhilarating movie that will take you through so many stages, from being in awe, to laughter, to being sad and then being happy. Washington is not alone as he has a great supporting cast in Don Cheadle, John Goodman, Kelly Reilly and Bruce Greenwood. Even though most are cameo roles, they stand out with brilliant performances by all. This is definitely one of this years best movies that is well worth the admission. So get there early to grab your treats because from beginning to end you will stay glued to the screened.
