Magic Mike was a fabulous movie if you're going to see it for the hot men stripping down to G-strings on stage. If you're expecting really great storytelling to go along with it you might be a bit disappointed.
Thursay night I dragged my almost 40-year-old body to the theaters for the 12:01 a.m. showing of The Hunger Games along with a sold out theatre of teens, adults, parents and children.
Hunger Games stands out from the pack because it has evocative themes that touch upon our deepest concerns about humanity. I'd go as far to say that Hunger Games is a darkly mature series with teenager characters.
Perhaps the reason that Denzel Washington has maintained his star power for 20 years is that he still goes out of his way to make 'the kind of movies they just don't make anymore'.
