Sophie's relationship with her husband, Sky ( Dominic Cooper ), has been turbulent for some time, causing her to doubt that she can survive without her mother. With Tanya ( Christine Baranski ) and Rosie's ( Julie Walters ) guidance, Sophie learns about Donna's past, including how she fronted The Dynamos, started her villa on the island, met each one of Sophie's dads, Sam, Bill, and Harry ( Pierce Brosnan ,  Stellan Skarsgård , and  Colin Firth ), and raised a daughter without a mother's guidance.

Diane (Diane Keaton) is recently widowed after 40 years of marriage, Vivian (Jane Fonda) enjoys her men with no strings attached, Sharon (Candice Bergen) is still working through her decades-old divorce, and Carol's (Mary Steenburgen) marriage is in a slump after 35 years. The lives of these four lifelong friends are turned upside down after reading the infamous "50 Shades of Grey," catapulting them into a series of outrageous life choices. Parental Guidance Director: Bill Holderman Music composed by: Peter Nashel Screenplay: Bill Holderman, Erin Simms This is a movie I have been waiting for since Mr. Dondon Monteverde announced it on Facebook  and the first thing I could think of is that it is very much worth the wait. Some of the people I know were shunning this because of the citation of E.L. James trilogy featuring Christian Grey who we later on learn that his nickname is Moby Dick.  (Wink, wink!) What I could say is this:  The four longtime ...

When strange apparitions appear in Manhattan, Gilbert and Yates turn to engineer Jillian Holtzmann for help. Also joining the team is Patty Tolan, a lifelong New Yorker who knows the city inside and out.

Initial release: July 14, 2016 (Brazil)- WWW Director: Paul Feig Executive producer: Dan Aykroyd Producers: Ivan Reitman, Amy Pascal If not for my skeptical friend, Kristen, who ended up loving this film, I wouldn't have watched this.  Some naysayers said "It ruined our childhood!"(I say they are exaggerating) and some other words that are not worthy publishing.  It's hard to please my friend, so when she wrote a review/reaction paper about this movie, it go...

RIO 2 (Parental Guidance) 2014 in 3D

Image
My nephew and I have been waiting for this movie ever since it was announced.  We have seen RIO several times together and apart. Finally, the day came.  We were pretty psyched. Rio de Janeiro(RdJ) is very important to me in more ways than one, but this second one is focused on Mother Nature herself and RdJ just did a cameo .  :-p   Wow!  This is a very beautiful movie and if you truly care for the preservation of the rain forest, flora, fauna...well, of living things...you should watch this movie.   There are many, many things little kids below four years old(or probably even older kids, but I'm glad that my seven-year-old nephew understood the movie) might ask you so better get ready. My advice to those parents or guardians who have kids that would watch 3D(same principle for IMAX viewers) for the first time is to brief them before entering the cinema.  You see, EVERYONE experiences the "fear of the unknown" and of course, a ...
