Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)
Best Spiderman movie to date
I was hesitant about yet another Spiderman movie, but oh man this is the best Spiderman movie to date.
The humor and tone of the show was so perfect. The casting was also great - Holland played Spiderman and Peter Parker so well! Michael Keaton also did a fantastic job as the villain, nailing The Vulture.
The amount of Iron Man appearances gave me my Robert Downey Jr fix without encroaching on the Spiderman story. And I liked the idea of Iron Man playing a slight fatherly figure. And the Captain America appearances were just so awesome.
Definitely worth watching!
Boyz n the Hood (1991)
Difficult story and exceptional acting
Tre (Cuba) goes to live with his Dad (Lawrence Fishbourne) outside of LA. He grows up next to his 2 best friends who are brothers in a neighborhood where hearing cop sirens and gunshots was a regular occurrence. Watching the struggles and constant bombardment of violence that these kids grew up facing was eye-opening. Violence was a constant reality for even the "good" kids.
The acting was great. Ice Cube and Cuba Gooding Jr were phenomenal. This is the first big role for both of them and their performances set them both apart as both exceptional actors.
