Anne Marie Kerr (Emma Samms) is a professional photographer as well as a career journalist who travels around the world taking assignments from top magazines. She travels with her associate Barry (Ian D. Clark) he is a very talented computer programmer, writer and manager; he actually wears many hats who is a great asset to Anne Marie.
It sounds like quite an intense scene! The sudden shift from a dangerous situation in Mexico to the tragic news about Anne Marie's brother adds a layer of emotional depth to the story. It seems like Anne Marie and Barry are accustomed to high-stakes situations, given their professions, but nothing can prepare them for the shock of losing a loved one.
Anne Marie was approached at her brother's funeral by Tiffany (Krista Bridges). Tiffany introduced herself as Alan's fiancée. She told Ann Marie that Alan's death was not an accident--he had been murdered.
Tiffany told Anne Marie that Alan had a cabin in the mountain town Devil's Gorge. This is where he worked as head coach with the thoroughbreds on an esteem stud farm. Alan was known as the best in his field and that is why Jason Hollister (Bruce Greenwood) hired him. Jason always wanted the best.
Jason Washing a Horse
Jason and Tiffany were engaged before she and Alan became engaged. Tiffany inferred that Jason had something to do with Alan's death because the two had a big fight before Alan was killed.
Ann Marie packed up and decides to find out what really happened to her brother.
This is a great movie--so pop your corn and drizzle it white chocolate and enjoy watch handsome men and talented women.

David (Bruce Willis) and his partner Cal (Swen Temmel) are investigating their case. Sometimes, cops like these two are adamant in their search. The issues begin when they are led to a farm which is owned by a trouble vet. Eric (Chad Michael Murray).
They are zoning in on a drug bust which turns out to be more than they anticipated; which did not end well.
In a shoot-out David is shot and Cal hides as the drug gang takes his partner away. Cal is will not let this go and is on the move to rescue David
Cal ends up at Eric's farm searching for David. Eric has lost his family in a vehicle accident. His wife and child are gone. Layered in his mind from being a vet to his family is dead--and he has nothing left--so this might be a diversion for him.
Cal and Eric plan together how to rescue David. While David is not making any friends with his mouth---saying, "You slap like a girl." Which is foolish for anyone to say--however, it is expected of David.
This is one movie I will buy the DVD--pop my popcorn and drizzle chocolate on it. I hope everyone enjoys this action-packed movie--I know I will.
Fury epitomizes what the fighting men of World War II dealt
with, fought with, and the heroes they died with during this horrifying event.
This movie tells a story about war, and how the young men received
combat-training to fight and kill because it became a necessary evil of do or
die; while the war erupted and bellowed around them.
To the fighting men it felt
as the doors of Hell opened and each side fought as the fires and brimstone took
a life of its own surrounded them. The doors of Hell stood opened for Wardaddy
and his men in April 1945 as they fought for freedom for all Americans.
Fury the Sherman Tank
US Army Staff Sergeant Don “Wardaddy” Collier (Brad
Pitt) trained and led his crew with Fury the Sherman Tank to fight
against the enemy on their own ground over the enemy lines. Wardaddy’s war-harden
face proved his skills rose from the action he experienced in fighting the
enemy. Now his mission led him and his men into the heart and soul of Nazi
Germany where the evil enemy lived. Fury protected its five member crew as they
fought their way through the enemy lines.
The cold facts that Wardaddy faced with his men proved---although
outnumbered they fought against a foe with weapons and ammo capable of wrapping
them out in seconds. Still they stood tall and brave because of Wardaddy’s
promise to keep them alive. He’s the icon of the brave Americans who fought in
World War II.
A new assistant driver assigned to Wardaddy named Boyd “Bible“Swan
(Shia
LaBeouf) whose tender heart became a challenge to toughen and kill the
enemy when needed. Wardaddy former gunner saw no target he did not eliminate and
now he needed to train Bible in the middle of a war. Bible became a strong soldier
who proved courage germinated in war to protect the men beside him.
These dirty, hungry, fatigued and sadden men remained on a
mission nearing the end of the war, but his brave men Norman “Cobb” Ellison (Logan
Lerman), US Army Cpl. Trini “Gordo” Garcia (Michael -Pena), Grady “Coon
Ass”
Travis (Jon Bernthal) knew Wardaddy would do what he commanded other to
do. You get action and drama in this war film and see how men lived and fought
while protecting our freedom.
This movie is a winner for an Oscar for
the Best Film category. In my opinion, this is Brad Pitt’s best movie since
Legends of the Fall.
David Ayers wore many hats as director, writer and producer;
he performed brilliantly and I want to make sure I see more of his movies. This
movie had the best people working behind the scenes as their hard work and
creative touch is proof in the film.
Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) and Amy Dunne (Rosamund Pike) were
married four years, happily or not.
Well, it would depend on whom you asked.
Nick, a tall dark and very handsome man married Amy a beautiful blond, and they
started their lives together in marital bliss and in the same profession as
writers.
Now, I for one know how dedicated one has to be in order to
write a news-worthy story or article, which will sell if you are a freelance
writer.
Or, if you work as a journalist for a newspaper or magazine one has to
also meet the deadlines in order to keep your job.
So, it seems that Nick and Amy jointly hit a very rough
patch by not making any money in their profession. So, when this happens to a
young couple—it seems the solution is to move back home---where one can heal in
the glow of their family and close friends.
However, this does not always prove
to be the best solution if one of them is not delighted with living in a small
town environment, when New York was where he/she is happy.
We all know what happens behind closed doors, is not always---what
is seen in, public. A couple who cannot keep their hands off each other when
dining out with friends---are often fooling themselves---about their true
feeling.
A happy couple does not need to prove to others they love and desire
each other---what is in one’s, heart is shared and cherished at home.
So, the very day Nick and Amy were to celebrate their fifth
(5th) wedding anniversary; Amy disappeared. Not only does this seem a little
too clever, but well planned to happen on a wedding anniversary.
I see a message
here from an angry Amy to a bewildered Nick---saying you will be sorry now for
taking me from New York---to this nowhere town.
As usual when a wife is missing---the husband is the number
one suspect. And, when a couple has not been happy for any length of
time---sometimes the one who feels neglected seeks affection elsewhere.
So, are
we to believe that Nick is a killer or did Amy run away to find a more exciting
life. She sounds a little spoiled if she really did this to her husband and
family.
We can only wait to see if Amy is alive and well or if Nick
really killed her? Or maybe an old boyfriend is getting his revenge by
kidnapping her. Will we know on October 3rd? I will be there with my
Popcorn and Milk Duds waiting for the movie to start because any movie Ben
Affleck is in---I want to see it.
When the
best two law enforcement men are joined at the hip to investigate the other one---we
will catch a ride with action, drama, crime and thrills with a laugh
sprinkle among the action.
Bobby Beans
(Denzel Washington) a DEA Agent and Officer Michael Stigman “Stig” (Mark Wahlberg)
an Undercover Naval Intelligence Office are the most skilled law enforcement agents of each agency.
Bobby was assigned to investigate Stig and Stig was assigned to investigate
Bobby and we know from where we sit---this will not be a harmonious pairing. Their
jobs are to find out if the other one is honest and trust-worthy so they plan
to rob a bank and wait for the outcome of honesty or not.
So they robbed
the bank and are discussing the money amount when Bobby starts to pull his gun
but Stig beats him to it and shoots Bobby. This is when he finds out Bobby is a
DEA Agent. So Stig knows he has been set up by someone for an investigation and
he is really ticked. He drives off and leaves Bobby in the dirt shot.
So Stig
reports in at the Naval Intelligence and flung Bobby’s badge at an office and
asked if they knew a DEA Agent by the name of Bobby Beans while at the DEA Agency---
Bobby is asking the same question about Stig---did you know he was Special
Forces? Bobby was told that Stig was a piece of work.
After Bobby
and Stig expelled with all the bull---they received from their agency---they
finally bump into each other again. Of course they showed their combative
skills and decide they were equal---and then it was time to talk about being
set up. They finally come to the conclusion they were set-up by the mob---they
very people from whom they stole the money. Feeling they were really set-up by
both the DEA and Naval Intelligence also---they had a lot to think about.
Will they
now work together? Of Course and this will be a movie to remember when they
both reached the limits of tolerance---Hell will have no fury compared to what
happens next.
What will
happen now that the two are together again? Fasten your seat belts---for a ride
of a life time.
And this is
action, packed with drama, crime, and thrills---and I would love to see
them act together again.
When two of my favorite guys are starring in a movie
together---I am one happy fan.
Intrigue, murder, cover-up makes this movie an attention
keeper. It has one’s mind going around in a labyrinth. Just when you believe
you know the answer---of who did what to whom---it blows up in your face.
The first scene---we see what appears to be a common thief as
he burst from an alleyway nearly collided with an elderly couple. And
slides over the front of a moving car; then he ran and hid in an alley behind large garbage
cans. He waits awhile trying to catch his breath---then starts looking around
to see if it is safe to leave his haven. It was a bad move because his pursuer
shot him twice---and few second later a guy delivering Pizza on a bike rode
by---and the killer shot him also.
The first guy shot was dead, but the second guy was in critical
condition in a comma. The Pizza man had a family he was trying to support with his low wage
job, and now the family might have no one.
Next we see Cal McAffrey (Russell Crowe) who looks like a
reject from the 60’s with his long hair and unshaven face; driving his car singing,
dialing his cell phone, eating and spilling food all over the car and then he
throws his trash on the back seat; which by now looks like a refuse can. When
he arrived he greeted Det. Bell who is investigating the crime scene.
Cal McAffrey is a brilliant reporter for the Globe in
Washington DC and is known by many of the law enforcement employees. Cal smells
a story behind the story of what just happened, and he goes to work on solving
it. He is unflappable but works for a tough Editor Cameron Lynne (Helen Mirren)
whose bottom line is whatever is good for the paper. She is a fan of Cal’s but
she does not give him sweet words of praise very often---because she knows it
is sales that will keep her bread and butter.
Then a beautiful young redhead leaves her home to walk to
the subway station as it is her mode of travel to her job. Upon arriving there
she stands close to the edge waiting for the subway---one just knows something
bad is going to happen.
The police called Congressmen Stephen Collins’ (Ben Affleck)
office before he arrived . When he arrives his secretary tells him Soni Baker (Maria
Thayer) who worked for the Congressman as his aide was killed in an accident at Metro this morning she was identified by
her badge.
Congressman Collins is stunned---he stands with a look of
disbelief. One of his staff members reminds him that it is time for the meeting
this morning.
The meeting begins with Stephen Collins saying—Welcome to
our hearing of Private Security Contractor Winkle into the Defense Answers and
Practices—before we begin I have received some terrible news.
This is only the beginning of the story---now the News Media
is speculating that Congressman Collins had an affair with his aide Soni Baker.
The Domino effect begins as Cal McAffery
Congressmen Collins is a young tall dark and handsome man
who is married. Will he remain the darling of his political party? Will his
wife forgive him? Will he turn to his college room-mate Cal McAffrey for help?
Is he innocent of being involved in the murders?
This is a great movie---and I am watching it again tonight,
as one always misses something the first time. Enjoy the State of Play Movie.
