Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors IMDB: 6.5  Rotten Tomatoes: 74% I continue to ruin my oldest child by getting him to watch movies and do write ups for your enjoyment.  Plot: Freddy is back this time targeting the last of the Elm Street kids who are all together in a hospital being treated for mental disorders. My Thoughts: I think this movie is funny but scary. It was creepy when every time someone kills Freddy he is still alive. It was really hard to know if they were awake or asleep. The part where Freddy grabbed a kid's veins and made him walk like a puppet. Can you imagine if that happened to you? I wished the adults in the hospital believed in Freddy. I think other people should watch the movie it was good.

3 Days to Kill

3 Days to Kill IMDB: 6.2  Rotten Tomatoes: 29% It is that time of year where we like to stay home and ingorge ourselves on food, drink, family and entertainment. Here is the first of a series of what to watch right now streaming on Netflix. Plot: A dying CIA agent retires to reconnect with his estranged wife and daughter, he is brought in on one last job in exchange for an experimental drug that might save his life. As he helps to hunt down a mysterious terrorist he is also tasked with taking care of his teenage daughter while his wife is out of town. Why You Should Stream This One: In a word it is fun. Costner shines as a blue collar guy in a spy world, he is not the suave spy so often portrayed in film, he is an average joe that happens to kill people instead of being a construction worker or farmer. The family dynamic is never made clear and the film never gives clear answers about what will happen after the credits roll but for the time that it plays this film de

Draft Day

Draft Day IMDB: 6.8  Rotten Tomatoes: 60% Plot: Sonny Weaver Jr. (Kevin Costner) is the GM of The Cleveland Browns. Today is Draft Day and he has alot on his plate, his father, a well loved coach for the team until Sonny Jr fired him, died a week ago and he just found out he is going to be a father himself. Add to that an owner that doubts him and a coach that thinks he is a moron plus a team with a losing streak and it adds up to more trouble than it might be worth. He manuevers a trade to get the first Draft Pick and the question is, will he choose the star QB or pick up a different prospect and what will it cost him. Review: Honestly I know next to nothing about football, but I do know movies and this one has heart. Kevin Costner is his standard every man self, don't read that as a slight against him because that is a character he does better than most anyone else. Director Ivan Reitman draws out the suspense of the pick masterfully, teasing the audience about w

Interstellar

Interstellar IMDB: 9  Rotten Tomatoes: 74% NO SPOILERS HERE NOT EVEN A PLOT SUMMARY Go see this movie. This is Nolan's Masterpiece. Don't read reviews (other than this one of course) stay away from the trailer even, the less you know the better.  McConaughey continues to be incredible, Anne Hathaway is great as is the rest of the supporting cast. The visuals are unbelievable, the story is tight despite its nearly three hour run time. This is my favorite movie of the year and maybe my favorite Nolan film.
