The Lost City 2022

Image
  Genre:  Action, Adventure, and Comedy Rating:  PG-13 for violence and some bloody images, suggestive material, partial nudity, and language. Synopsis:   A reclusive romance novelist on a book tour with her cover model gets swept up in a kidnapping attempt that lands them both in a cutthroat jungle adventure. I'm both a published author and a huge movie lover so this movie, immediately when I saw the trailer spoke to me on many levels. I got reminded of other authors going on adventures like Nim's Island and Romancing the Stone. Needless to say, I had high hopes. Still, I went into the movie holding my breath.  I am so relieved that this movie was freaking awesome. Every single person involved in this movie should win awards. There was action, comedy, romance, villains, and everything in between. My hubby loved the movie as well but felt a little disappointed towards the end. The great plot through out and I loved how the story progressed.  The cast was incredible from the ama

Uncharted 2022

  Genre: Action, adventure Rating: PG-13 for violence/action and language Synopsis:  Street-smart Nathan Drake is recruited by seasoned treasure hunter Victor "Sully" Sullivan to recover a fortune amassed by Ferdinand Magellan, and lost 500 years ago by the House of Moncada. As a family who loves the Uncharted video games this movie had a lot to live up to. The trailer looked promising and I personally was extremely excited.  Overall the movie is great. It has lots of funny, action-packed and heartwarming scenes. Sadly the name Uncharted just doesn't fit. It was an amazing action movie about lost treasure, which is great. The movie had a very similar feel to National Treasure and Indiana Jones so I'm not mad at it.  But the only similarity to Uncharted is that they used the names of the characters and had a cameo. The storyline was very close to one of the games but they ruined it by changing major parts. Without spoilers, one person who should have played key roles

Dune 2021

  Genre: Science Fiction, action, adventure, drama Rating:  PG-13 Synopsis: A noble family becomes embroiled in a war for control over the galaxy's most valuable asset while its heir becomes troubled by visions of a dark future. Dune is a science fiction classic. If you have not watched the previous movie or read the book then this is going to be an adventure for you.  The synopsis explains the movie very well, however, if you are unfamiliar with the material it does well-explaining things, however, there are a few scenes that may be confusing. I should also let you know that this is a part one situation. At the time I watched the movie I was unaware of this and being so into what was going on, it came as a shock.  That being said this movie is amazing. I am someone who has read the book and watched the old movie so I knew what was happening. However, this version really kicked up all the action scenes and brought the emotion of each situation perfectly. You hate the people you s
