Rio 2 is an animated delight

In this adorable sequel to the 2011 hit Rio, old friends reunite, new adventures are taken and vengeance is sought.


The story takes place in the Amazon where Blue and his family have traveled in a quest to find their missing species.


In their travels, Jewel reconnects with her father and the rest of her family, whom she never thought she'd see again. This alone is an interesting storyline because we see the lengths Blue goes to impress his new found father in-law.


In addition to the loveable characters we met in the original film, there are several new characters that are just as endearing.


I am not usually one for animated films but I must say I very much enjoyed watching this movie from beginning to end. It is a fun filled family film that has comedic relief, a lot of musical entertainment and little twists along the way including an encounter from Tiago who was seeking revenge on Blue.

The Other Woman is Delightfully Funny

For any woman who's been cheated on by the man she thought she loved, The Other Woman is definitely the film to see.


Cameron Diaz, Kate Upton and Leslie Mann star in this hilarious comedy about a housewife, Kate (Mann) who finds out that her husband Mark (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) is having an affair with two other women, Carly (Diaz) and Amber (Upton).

Kate tracks the two women down but instead of lashing out at them, the three women team up to take Mark down. In the process of taking steps to make his life miserable, they form a true friendship.

What I liked about this movie is that neither of the mistresses knew they were mistresses and when they found out who Mark really was, they refused to continue sleeping with him.


Though it is completely unrealistic for a wife to form bonds with her husband's girlfriends, it was fun to watch these women do what all women in their shoes wish they could do: Make Him Pay!


I give this movie an A plus.
