Since we are Spike Lee fans but lately we have been a bit cautious of his recent releases. We didn't run out to see his Netflix release about 5 black men from the Vietnam war going back tot he country to recover a fallen brothers remains. After Black KKKlansman we thought we would give this one a try since that was made a lot better than his other previous releases.
1917 (2020)
During World War I, two British soldiers -- Lance Cpl. Schofield and Lance Cpl. Blake -- receive seemingly impossible orders. In a race against time, they must cross over into enemy territory to deliver a message that could potentially save 1,600 of their fellow comrades -- including Blake's own brother. This is what we saw as we sat down to check out this epic War movie by Sam Mendes
War for the Planet of the Apes
In War for the Planet of the Apes, the third chapter of the critically acclaimed blockbuster franchise, Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel. After the apes suffer unimaginable losses, Caesar wrestles with his darker instincts and begins his own mythic quest to avenge his kind. As the journey finally brings them face to face, Caesar and the Colonel are pitted against each other in an epic battle that will determine the fate of both their species and the future of the planet.
Alicia and I were excited to see the new movie from the new Planet of the ape series that are very very good. Its the prequel before the classic 1968 Planet of the apes movie with Charlton Heston. The emotional, exciting and very humanistic view of the movie is what keeps you engaged throughout this new edition of the series. It also fills in some gaps of the 1968 version. Worth seeing but here is our take.
