The Review: Kate


Kate 7/10


Miss Jackie suggested this movie called Kate on Netflix to me and I'm glad she did. I like revenge movies. I like them even more when the story is simple. This is about this assassin named Kate that has a handler named Varrick. She calls him V. She is in Japan to kill this dude when she sees that he has a kid. She wants to call it off but is told to complete it. The voice lets her know when the kill window is closing. She does it just in time spraying the guys daughter with blood. Its pretty fucked up since she broke her own code of not killing in front of kids. She says her next assignment is her last and V. is like “Hmm...we'll see about that.” Before her last gig she meets this dude in a bar and they make the sex after drinking. She ends up fucking up the shot and wakes in a hospital having been poisoned with one day to live. After this it is a lot of shooting, violent ass fights, and some very creative camera work. Oh, and a teenage girl that I couldn't stand. Y'all know how I feel about the youth in films. They tend to be incredible or make a movie unwatchable. Thankfully I was able to survive this child and enjoy the film. Oh, and I was mad that I didn't recognize the star of this movie. I have seen her plenty of times but her face does not stay in my head for some reason. I was legit baffled when I saw who it was thinking it was some brand new action star in the making.

The Review: Vacation Friends


Vacation Friends 8/10


This movie was funny as hell! I had no real plans to check this out but L. had it for us to watch so we decided to watch Vacation Friends. This movie had no right to be as funny and crazy as it was. Just when I figured I knew were the movie was gonna go it didn't and I like that. This couple Marcus and Emily go on vacation to Mexico. Emily's father doesn't think he is good enough for his daughter and Marcus knows it. They get to the resort and the front desk guy lets slip that Marcus is gonna propose. They get to the room and the shit is flooded by this crazy ass couple so Marcus proposes in the lobby. The couple, Ron and Kyla, invite them to stay in their huge ass room. After a night of coke and random sex, boat crashing, shooting guns off heads, jumping off cliffs, cave marriage, and drinking for a week Marcus and Emily head home not wanting to see Ron and Kyla ever again. Not for any bad reasons, just that they consider them vacation friends...and insane.
