Crazy Rich Asians












Rachel Chu accompanies her boyfriend, Nick, to his best friends wedding, in Singapore. Once there she discovers that Nicks' family is grotesquely wealthy and that he is considered the nations' most eligible bachelor. Thrust into the spotlight and out of her comfort zone Rachel must prove herself to his objecting family.

Very much a simple Cinderella story with a cultural twist. Cute and funny but has several plot holes that are hard to overlook.

** 1/2 Rentable
Rated PG-13 (for sexual innuendo and language)

Mission: Impossible - Fallout












Arms dealer known as John Lark and a group of terrorists deemed the Apostles plan to use three plutonium cores for simultaneous nuclear attacks throughout the world. Ethan Hunt and IMF team join forces with CIA assassin August Walker and find themselves in a race against time to prevent nuclear fallout.

Lots of fun - and loads of amazing eye candy! Admittedly the original Mission: Impossible (1996) is still my favorite, but I would say out of the five sequels this one takes the number two spot easily. The movie is well paced and doesn't feel slow which is surprising considering its 147 minute running time. Exciting, adrenaline filled, Henry Cavill, action packed with self-effacing comedy - what more could you want?

*** Must See for the IMF fans

Rated PG-13 (for violence and language)
