Noah
If you are
going to see this movie to watch an accurate retelling of Noah from the Bible,
forget about it. If you don’t care about accuracy and you want to just be
entertained then you will enjoy this movie.
Russell
Crowe stars as Noah, a man chosen by his world's creator to undertake a
momentous mission to rescue the innocent before an apocalyptic flood cleanses
the wicked from the world.Russell Crowe is excellent and Director Darren Aronofsky’s brings the Bible epic into the 21st century with a bold screenplay and sweeping visuals.
Without giving away too much, there are a lot of interesting things going
on in this movie which you will enjoy.
Verdict:A religious popcorn movie that is very entertaining.

Sabotage
Critics hated this movie but I got my money's worth and more.
The money's worth:
- I wanted to see a movie Directed by David Ayer (End of Watch, Training Days, Harsh Times) with gore, blood, guts, and no holding back to be politically correct. I got that in this movie in SPADES.
- The movie included a great cast of actors: Mireille Enos,Terrence Howard, Josh Holloway, Sam Worthington, and Arnold Schwarzenegger as Breacher. Enos steals the movie with a display of talent that we have not seen in her prior performances. Her acting alone is worth the price of admission.
The More:
- This is Arnold's best performance since his comeback. He acts like a normal dude that still works out to keep in shape, goes too work wearing ill fitting off the rack suits, and has worked many years but is still behind the 8 ball.
Yes, the script was weak but I praise the movie for trying to portray Arnold in a different light and Ayer's bold direction.
Verdict:
Most surprising action movie so far this year.
