Murder Mystery

 This 2019 movie was actually a delight to watch. My husband and I were looking for something on this rainy night to watch and stumbled across it on Netflix, I believe. Comedy all over the place with death in its wake! Adam Sandler plays a cop trying to make detective named Nick. Nick is married to Audrey, played by Jennifer Aniston. Audrey is a hair stylist and one day that information will help save her life. She and Nick are about to celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary and she's always wanted to go to Italy. After a small fight, Nick promises her a trip to Italy. On their flight they meet Charles Cavendish played by Luke Evans. Charles invites them on a yacht to meet his family. The couple is witness to an old man about to sign over his fortune to his new wife, and a murder. Then another murder. Then another murder. And then they are about to be murdered themselves. They they are set up as the killers. And then they are working with the French police on the case. It's funny, it's witty, it's got some gross jokes and it has a few tender moments. But I never saw the murderer coming. I never figured out who it was before the end. This was a pleasant surprise for a pretty decent movie. And as a general rule, I do like murder mysteries.

Wake Up, Dead Man, A Knives Out Mystery

 Wow! Wow and wow! This was my 2nd favorite next to the original "Knives Out". A priest is re-assigned to a place he never could have been prepared for: the devil is alive and well in the church, on the grounds, in the people and in the plans. Josh Brolin plays Monsignor Jefferson Wicks, the local head priest and "God" to most folks. They don't jump unless he says "how high." There are only a select number of parishioners that stick with his word, as the rest of the congregation is slowly run out by his sermons. But there's a deeper mystery here and Josh O'Connor, who plays Jud Duplenticy, wasn't supposed to be there. A sermon happens, the Monsignor falls, and there is a murder in the church in front of witnesses. So who did it? Or was it more than one person? Or did one person make it look like it was more than one person? So much is going on in this story and then...cops show up. Geraldine Scott, played by Mila Kunis, calls up a professio...

Holidate

 hehehhe ok, I honestly just put this movie on to have something in the background while I was cooking dinner. Lo and behold, my husband sat down on the futon and started watching it and laughing uncontrollably. This girl has a mom trying to get her into a relationship, any relationship. And she's got an Aunt who loves any male at all. The leading lady, Emma Roberts, who plays Sloane, runs into Luke Bracey, who plays Jackson Pieretti, with one of the sexiest Aussie accents ever. These two agree to be each other's dates every holiday. And I mean EVERY holiday in the U.S. But Jackson states he's not interested in her, not seriously, and so Sloane goes along with it. But what happens when some else is interested in Sloane? And what happens when Jackson sleeps with someone else? Does it matter? They aren't in a relationship. They're in an agreement. There is so much fun profanity in this movie and so many fun little scenes, I was pleasantly surprised. Aunt Susan, played...

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F

 Just on a whim, I decided to put this movie on as we ate dinner. Within 10 minutes my husband and I were laughing. The music was good, reminiscent of the 80s "Beverly Hills Cop" soundtrack, the cameos were fantastic, everyone a little older now, and there was a lot of excitement and adventure. The beginning of the movie shows Axel in Chicago, being himself and getting into trouble. But he always comes through for the boys in blue. But over in California, someone gets into trouble, someone is threatened, and his friend, Billy, calls Axel to let him know. Usually, Axel will just give advice or listen or both, but when it's his daughter, Axel heads out west again. But who is threatening his daughter? And why? And will the trio get back together again to solve a new mystery? And can they all stay alive? It was a great trip down memory lane and a wonderful introduction to new characters as well. Those who enjoyed the first movies will love seeing Eddie Murphy, John Ashton, Ju...
