My Favorite 2017 Films

Interesting films were release in the year 2017, here are my favorite 2017 films~

'Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle' (2017)

Genre: Action, Adventure, and Comedy Director: Jake Kasdan Writers: Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers Cinematographer: Gyula Pados Editors: Steve Edwards & Mark Helfrich Rated: PG-13 Back as a video game, four kids are suck into the Jumanji game as avatars. They will need to work together in order to survive Jumanji and complete the game. --------------------------------------------Some Spoilers------------------------------------------- Almost a sequel/reboot to the original 'Jumanji' (1995) film. It felt like 'Breakfast Club' meets 'Jumanji' in a way since the four high school kids who are different from each other get detention and that's how they find the video game 'Jumanji'. It was a cool twist where the Jumanji, board game, adapts to the new age of video games and transforms into one. Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Heart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan did a great job in this film with the comedy line and action. I enjoyed...

His new client, hit man named Darius Kincaid, is the only witness left to testify against a powerful Dictator.  A clock is ticking, hopefully they’ll be able to make it without killing each other first.  I saw the trailer to ‘Hitman’s Bodyguard’ back in June while waiting to meet up with friends to see the ‘Wonder Woman’. I was really excited to see Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson in action.  This was my second time watching a film by myself in theaters. The two main actors have good chemistry with their funny arguments. Michael, the go by the plan guy, ‘boring is safe’; while Darius goes with the flow, ‘when life gives you (poop), you make Kool-aid’.  It wa...
