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.

Movie Review: Death On The Nile

What a movie! I'm a stickler for investigative crime movies: Knives Out, Sherlock Holmes, Upper Room Fixer series, Enola Homes, etc. Trying to solve the crime with the detective as his mind wanders through a  plethora of unusual suspects is just amazing to me and so you can understand why Death On The Nile was so intriguing. Movie Plot Detective Hercule Poirot (This surname needs some work) is back with murder within a murder within a murder within two more murders. While on a visit to Egypt, Poirot uncovers his greatest murder ever as a newlywed couple battles the envious eyes of friends and foe. Okay, so that happened. The movie uses an hour to drive us through what Poirot already tagged as acts 1, 2 and 3. We get to see Linnet shine and fall in love with her friend's man. Linnet First off, this was really low for Linnet. Come on already. Men are surplus and in quanta. She could have been with the doctor or found another one, but she opted for her friend's man.  Why woul

Movie Review: The Adam Project

"Oh, that's funny. It farts when I laugh." I just can't.😂🤣🤣 Halo. Another movie review here. We'll be looking at The Adam Project. Movie Review A pilot goes back in time to search for his missing wife in so doing enlists the help of his younger self and his late father. From the first time I saw the trailer I knew I would laugh my ass out. Ryan Reynolds has decided to just feature in any movie he absolutely feels like. Storyline Let's start with the not-so spectacular part of this movie. The storyline wasn't excitingly crazy. It was there. Just there. Time travel with a blend of romance missions, messing with the timeline, embracing loss, and a happy beginning at the end. That pretty much sums it up. The good part is that it was grand. The action, the shooting, the comedy. Acts Ryan Reynolds was Ryan Reynolds and there's no changing him. The way he talks and laughs and just includes those ridiculous lines always has me in a g
