X-MEN: APOCALYPSE
Professor Charles Xavier (McAvoy) is known for taking in young teenager mutants at his university for the gifted helping them to cope and adjust to their misunderstood super powers, protecting them from harm or from harming those who are threatened by their mutant abilities. But the world will soon encounter Apocalypse (Issac), an ancient mutant with superior powers who has been raised from the cemented ruins in Egypt. While harvesting powering Apocalypse also begins assembling his own army of mutants with Erik AKA Magneto (Fassbender) who is still bitter at humans for the murder of his wife and daughter, as his primary weapon. Professor Xavier who will then be abducted by the rogue super mutant as the final piece to solidify his quest for total world power over all mankind must rely on Raven AKA Mystique (Lawrence) and some of the other top students of the X University who gear up to battle against the rival mutants.
Reel Talk:
OK...right off the rip, this movie was meaninglessly long. It is about two hours and sixteen minutes long but about a hour of that could have easily hit the cutting room floor. I understand you have to have a story that leads up to a purpose but unfortunately people don't go to see super hero films for a long story but rather for their action. Movies like The Avengers and Captain America: Civil War have set the bar extremely high when it comes to films with good action flow. Now once the action does start taking place in the X-Men movie it is intense and worthy the long wait. My other gripe is that they keep doing period pieces with the X-Men series, when they are old, then young, what's next when they are pre-schooled??? Well anyway if you are a die hard X fan you will probably feel that this is the greatest movie ever but at best it is a good hour's worth of action packed entertainment. You would do best catching this one at the matinee.
Starring: James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Oscar Isaac, Alexandra Shipp and Olivia Munn
Directed by: Bryan Singer
Rated: PG-13

The unlikely pair must team up along with Holland's young daughter to find Amelia before her assigned assassin does with plans to kill her and then set out to kill Holland and his daughter.
Reel Talk:
This is the latest in the buddy movie series to which buddy movies normally fair well. Typically buddy movies are very predictable so this one does not stray from the pack, but with two stars like Russel Crowe and Ryan Gosling you really shouldn't be disappointed. Well just don't be expecting a great blockbuster movie yet it is very enjoyable and entertaining. Some humor here and there, lots of action and again Crowe and Gosling makes it worthwhile. So it is nice to say that The Nice Guys is a nice film to go check out.
Starring: Russell Crowe, Ryan Gosling, Angourie Rice, Matt Bomer, Margaret Qualley, Kim Basinger and Yaya DaCosta

MONEY MONSTER
Plot:
Lee Gates (Clooney) is a self proclaimed financial guru who is the host of a television show called Money Monster where he gives tips on money management, stocks and trading info. The very popular show is produced by his longtime producer Patty Fenn (Roberts) who after this last broadcast plans on leaving unexpectedly to produce another show. During the taping of his outlandish styled show Gates and the production team are soon held hostage at gunpoint and with a bomb vest by Kyle Budwell (O'Connell) who was on the losing end of a bad investment recommended by his show regarding a company headed up by an elusive CEO named Walt Camby (West) who has yet to speak on the major money loss. Things are spiraling out of control as Kyle who has nothing to lose wants answers to how the company manage to loose over eight hundred million dollars with no explanation.
Reel Talk:
George Clooney and Julia Roberts who have teamed in a few films together are back at it in this thriller directed by Jodie Foster. Honestly this is a pretty predictable movie right from the start but that still does not lessen the fact that it is entertaining. Sometimes you just have to sit back and enjoy a decent movie and this is one of those times. Although it is a suspense thriller it also has some humorous moments. This is a movie that if you catch it at the matinee you won't feel disappointed but true Clooney or Roberts' fans will not be disappointed period.
Starring: George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Jack O'Connell, Dominic West, Caitriona Balfe and Giancarlo Esposito
Directed by: Jodie Foster

"MARRIED BUT SINGLE" THE STAGE PLAY
I have to be honest, my Sunday plan was to just sit at home reminiscing about my mom and trying not to be overwhelm with depression because I miss her so much. But thanks to my good friend Paris Ross, I got invited out to come have brunch at the beautiful Roberts Riverwalk Hotel with her, her mom and her child hood friend actress Lisa Raye McCoy and her mom along with some other friends. Lisa Raye who was in town starring in the all star casted play "MARRIED BUT SINGLE" written by Je' Caryous Johnson, was such a gracious host who had to eventually cut out early to go prepare for her performance at the matinee show of the play. So I headed home and after a brief wind down and a change of clothing I headed out with Paris and crew to the evening show of the sold out play. Je' Caryous Johnson's play "MARRIED BUT SINGLE" having sold out all four engagements at the Music Hall theater starred Lisa Raye McCoy, Chrisette Michele, Clifton Powell, Carl Anthony Payne, La' Myia Good, Robert C. Riley, Terrell Carter, Samson Logan and Skye Griffin and tells the story of a young woman who loves a man who has yet to make a marital commitment to her and when a long lost love re-enters into her life she is torn between who to choose while her man will have to step up and fight if he wants to keep from losing his woman. I have said before that I am not a big play person (movies is my stick...lol) because in reality plays tend to not hold my attention. Well not this play, this play was a good play that kept my interest from start to the finale and mostly because of Carl Anthony Payne's pimp character who kept the entire audience rolling with laughter. Even despite the brief interruption from an altercation by some knuckleheads in the balcony, the show went on after Je' Caryous took to the mic to settle the crowd down. Mr. Johnson did a good job writing the script and with the addition of an all star cast and solid production, you can see why his play was a huge success. I really enjoyed the play and definitely the time spent with Lisa Raye, her family and the rest of the cast and crew at the wrap up dinner, no interviewing just relaxing and enjoying the fun. So if you missed the play this time be sure to catch it if it comes back to your city, definitely worth checking out. I am so happy that my friend had me tag along rather than spend my evening at home alone....Thanks again Paris Ross!!!
This is my life, the life of THE REEL HUSTLER!

MARLON WAYANS TURNS OUT THE FILLMORE THEATER IN DETROIT
With nothing planned on a Friday evening yesterday, I was happy when I was told by my good friend Bernard that he had a ticket for me to see Marlon Wayans stand up comedy act at the downtown Fillmore Theater. Now Marlon Wayans is quite the character on the big screen with a no holds barred approach for his movie roles and even when I had the opportunity to interview him on a couple of occasions I was even more surprised at the cool, laid back Marlon that I had encountered. So now I was really quite curious to see how he would be as a stand up comedian, if he would be able to bring the funny without any support from his family or comedic friends that are normally co-stars with him in films. To warm up the crowd at the Fillmore was another Wayans family member, Marlon's niece Chaunte Wayans who was impressively funny during her thirty minute set that was filled with mostly jokes centered around her being a lesbian and about her being from the less famous and wealthy side of the Wayans family. She then incited the packed theater to give it up for Marlon to take the stage who would start off by thanking the audience for what he called a rock/rap star's welcome even thou unlike a rock/rap star he doesn't have the budget for an elaborate stage, instead all he has is a mic and a stupid stool to sit on. And from that point on he had the crowd rolling will laughter. There was no subject that was off limits, he had jokes about pretty much all the current events and people, from Jay Z, Beyonce, Trump and yes even Micheal Jackson and Prince. Again nothing and no one was off limits, but what he talked about was on point just like his comedic timing. He single handedly blew up the stage and I must say I really enjoyed his show. Now I only hope that I can have the opportunity one day to catch a show with him and his brothers Keenan, Damon and Shawn during one of their tours, now that is on my bucket list...LOL!!! This is my life, the life of The Reel Hustler!

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR
PloT:
After a few missions that were successful in saving the world but not without fatalities, U.S. government officials wants to regulate the future assignments for The Avengers which Iron Man (Downey) agrees to but it doesn't sit well with Captain America (Evans). With the two super heros already at an indifference, things only gets worse when Captain America's friend Bucky / Winter Soldier (Stan) is cited for terroism and targeted for termination but when Captain America learns that he has been framed by a crazed killer named Zemo (Bruhl), he sets out to protect his buddy while Iron Man prepares to take him down. While this has them at odds with each other it also puts their fellow teammates in the position that they must choose sides between the two, causing a war amongst the once allied superheros,
Reel Talk:
This movie was off the chain, but it could and should have been easily titled "THE AVENGERS: CIVIL WAR" because it has all the Avengers members with the exception of the Hulk and Thor. But to spice things up they added Paul Rudd as Ant Man, Tom holland as Spider Man and the introduction of The Black Panther starring Chadwick Boseman giving the film a major boost. The action and battle scenes are to keep you on the edge of your seat, typical of the previous Avenger...uh I mean Captain America movies...LOL! Die hard Marvel Comic book fans will enjoy this film, die hard action movie fans will enjoy this film. This was just an enjoyable film full of action and entertainment. A must see film worth cashing out to see.
Starring: Chris Evans, Robert Downet Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Don Cheadle, Jeremy Renner, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Tom Holland and Daniel Bruhl
Directed by: Anthony Russo and Joe Russo
Rated: PG-13
