“Trolls 3” REVIEW
“Baywatch” Remade
The 90’s show, Baywatch is making a comeback and reminding all the importance of going to the beach. In the 2 hour comedy starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as Mitch Buchanon, the head lifeguard who lives, eats and breathes everything ocean, know his career is in jeopardy when new recruit, Matt Brody (Zac Efron) comes on board with the idea of just putting on sun screen and the occasional saving a life, but when a plot to turn the Bay into a private drug trafficking site, it’s up to the lifeguards to prove they are more than just lifeguards in order to save their beloved beach.
The Paramount film is so rated “R” for it’s language and graphic sexual images. Not recommended for young children, but otherwise it is a good film that will leave audiences laughing throughout at all of the humor as the Bay police try to downplay the lifeguards mission and ultimately routing for the team as they rush to save themselves and all that they hold dear to life.
With cameos from the original cast, David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson, Baywatch is sure to be a great addition to your summer movie going experience. Baywatch came out May 25, as it topped Thursday night previews with just over 4.5 million at the box office. It’ll be interesting as it goes up against the Disney sequel Pirates of the Caribbean at the box office this memorial day weekend.
“Rangers” Come Back
Saban’s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are making a come back to the big screen and sending loyal fans to the movies for its opening weekend début bringing in over 40 million domestically, which would’ve taken the top had it not been for Disney’s Beauty and the Beast with its second sweep bringing its numbers well past the 315 million dollar mark.
Warner Brothers tried to recapture the magic of the Power Rangers, introducing, Jason (Dacre Montgomery), Billy (RJ Cyler), Kimberly (Naomi Scott), Trini (Becky G.), and Zack (Ludi LIn), a group of teens who meet in detention and in up finding the hidden crystals that give them magical powers through a freak car accident. Now it is up to the team of 5 to harness their powers in order to protect the hidden crystal from Rita Repulsa (Elizabeth Banks), who wants to destroy the Earth. There’s just one problem, “How to morph?”
At 2 hours and 4 minutes, the action adventure will have you caught up in the story as the five teens must band together as a team and learn how to be one, if they ever want to save their planet. Rated PG-13, there’s nothing really bad that wouldn’t keep kids from enjoying the live action super heroes on-screen while adults especially from the 90’s will thoroughly enjoy the nostalgia of their youth.
Power Rangers is currently playing in a theater near you.
