Movie Review; A fall from Grace


Tyler Perry is one of those directors whose movies always bring up controversies amongst people. He achieved this with Acrimony and when A Fall from Grace was released, it amplified the arguments.

SPOILERS

Grace is a middle aged woman who falls in love with Shannon. A guy who appears too real to be true. She falls in love and marries him.  Later on she kills her husband and pleads guilty, waiting to be executed. A young DA lawyer is given the case to get a plea deal, she has her heart set on getting the deal but is touched when she sees Grace cry. This pushes her to investigate and fight for Grace.The investigations lead to a sinister movement which has been in place for a while.

     

.     Wrapping my head around the whole story took a while. I sat and thought about it a lot and I must commend Tyler Perry. It sounds totally made up, but there are schemes set in place to rob middle aged women of their valuables. The extent to which the scheme was carried out was elaborate and concise. But, as with schemes, one particular person always spoils it all. And in this case, Grace was that person.

     

After losing her job, her house and on the way to be indicted, she lost it. She gave her husband the bat and trusted the wrong person. There were other twitches in the story line like minor makeup flaws. bad hair etc. 

     I really wish next time, the woman doesn't have to be the fool or the crazy accused person. But the message behind the story was clear. No one is stopping you from falling in love, but ladies we have got to be really careful. Guard your heart and be careful who you trust. Also when your gut tells you something, try and listen to it. Believe in it and ask yourself the right questions. Why you?


Kudos to Netflix.

The turns in the The Turning

The horror movie genre is one of the most successful genre in the movie industry. Scary endings and suspense filled scenes have carved a niche and are not going anywhere anytime soon.     Inconclusive endings are not new to the genre but some endings are indeed too inconclusive.The turning is a 2020 horror movie which held a lot of scare factors but failed to land at a significant point.      With little similarities to The Boy 1, a young lady decides to tutor an orphaned little girl at their manor but is met with circumstances she could have never prepared for.         The whole story started out quite well -the creaking doors, the shadows, the nightmares and then there was an addition of the creepy behaviour given off by Miles, the brother of Flora.      The major flaw in the movie was the absence of a definitive conclusion, too many questions were left unanswered- Is Kate insane? Is Miles truly posses...

Movie Review: A Madea Homecoming

Madea is back! Hallelujer! After the Madea Family Funeral we thought we had seen the last of this iconic screen character, but 2022 has given us a reason to laugh out loud. Movie Plot Madea's Homecoming surrounds the family getting together for Madea's great grandson's graduation ceremony. As expected when the Madea clan comes together, secrets are revealed and chaos the order of the day. Spoilers ahead First off, Madea is a great grandmother. Not grand. Great grand. That's three generations alive in the clan. How old exactly is Madea? Did she take some vampire blood?  Back to serious issues? What type of best friend helps her best friend divorce her husband and then fall in love with the best friend's husband to the extent of wanting to get married to him. That's wrong on so many levels. Especially if you include the fact that she was the attorney in charge of the divorce and the douche bag got everything from the divorce. Babe! She freaking broke e...

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG

Okay. I absolutely adored this movie. I'm a sucker for games and movies. So when game characters are incorporated into movies so perfectly, I get all giddy. Cast Ben Schwartz,James Madsen, Jim Carrey, Tika Sumpter, Lee Majdoub. The redesign was totally worth it, even though it cost more money, it paid off. Spoilers ahead.        I've watched different sonic cartoons and also played the game, but the movie was a hit. A blue alien hedgehog leaves his own planet because people want to use his powers..He comes to Earth-Green hill to be specific and spy's on all the neighbors, particularly the sheriff whom he calls "Donut Lord". But as it is with lending assistance to strangers, trouble always follows.      Lemme start with the voicing for sonic. Ben Schwartz was pretty impressive in his voicing, sounding like a young boy and portraying how their mind works.  Sheriff Tom (Madsen) was cool. Not so serious and not so unserious. Hi...
