In Marvel Studios' "Thor: Ragnarok," Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer and finds himself in a race against time to get back to Asgard to stop Ragnarok--the destruction of his homeworld and the end of Asgardian civilization--at the hands of an all-powerful new threat, the ruthless Hela. But first, he must survive a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger--the Incredible Hulk!

Went to see Thor: Ragnarok with my 16-year-old daughter and we both had a blast! The movie was a mix of action, laugh out loud moments, and thunder and lightning.

Marvel delivers again. It's hard not to get hyped when The Immigrant song plays during the opening and final battle scenes. And you never knew if "bad" Loki or "good" Loki was going show up or if they would make it through the Devil's Anus. Yeah, you read that right.

Wait till you meet Korg! He steals the show, along with Thor's arms and abs. Warning, you get to see Hulk's naked butt. It's green by the way.

I do want to know what the heck happened to Karl Urban?

This is a big screen movie so see it at the theater if you can. Be sure to stay for the two extra credit scenes. And there was a Pacific Rim 2 trailer at the beginning! Coming 2018.

Holly gives it 4 1/2 "knowing what it feels like" Sheep

I give it 4 1/2 "Hela good time" Sheep

This was me last night watching Thor...and no, I have no chill.

Now You See Me 2 (2016)

Rating: PG13 (for violence and some language)
Genre: Mystery & Suspense
Directed By: Jon M. Chu

Lionsgate - Official Site

THE FOUR HORSEMEN (Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Lizzy Caplan) return for a second mind-bending adventure, elevating the limits of stage illusion to new heights and taking them around the globe. One year after outwitting the FBI and winning the public's adulation with their Robin Hood-style magic spectacles, the illusionists resurface for a comeback performance in hopes of exposing the unethical practices of a tech magnate. The man behind their vanishing act is none other than WALTER MABRY (Daniel Radcliffe), a tech prodigy who threatens the Horsemen into pulling off their most impossible heist yet. Their only hope is to perform one last unprecedented stunt to clear their names and reveal the mastermind behind it all.

Now You See Me (the first movie) took me and my family by surprise. So we were all pumped to see NYSM2, and after seeing Warcraft (bleh) the day before, we needed something good. And we weren't disappointed. Some have been saying the second one is better than the first...I wouldn't go that far. But it was just as good. I like that they show you how the magic tricks work.

It was predictable, if you pay attention, but still a lot of fun. I like all the actors and they had great chemistry together. And for once, I didn't see Harry Potter when Daniel Radcliffe was on screen. My daughter (15) and I agree that Dave Franco is a cutie pie.

This one is definitely worth a matinee price and if you loved the first one, worth the full price.

Now You See Me pits an elite FBI squad in a game of cat and mouse against "The Four Horsemen", a super-team of the world's greatest illusionists. "The Four Horsemen" pull off a series of daring heists against corrupt business leaders during their performances, showering the stolen profits on their audiences while staying one step ahead of the law.

Add another to the list of entertaining films of 2013! Saw this one with my husband and 12 year old daughter and we all loved it. It has a lot of action and the plot is fun, fresh and quite devious. You'll be second guessing every character and their motives throughout the movie. I can’t even begin to talk plot because that would ruin the magic of the film (see what I did there? <G>).

If you are looking for pure entertainment with mystery, suspense and WTF? Then this movie is for you. If you don’t like magic or aren't willing to suspend belief for a couple of hours then go sit in the corner with the other killjoys and let the rest of us have fun.

And because I didn’t do a top 10 (I know, keep the crying to a minimum please) I decided review the trailers.

1. Anchorman 2 – really?! Why?
2. World War Z – Brad Pitt, zombies… really nothing else needs to be said.
3. Rush – don’t care about the true story race car dude, but Thor is in it… enough said.
4. Prisoners – Holy crap it looks intense! Hugh Jackman… enough said.
5. City of Bones – hadn't read it, didn't care… Jonathan Rhys Meyers? Just got real interested.
6. Catching Fire – think it will be better than the first. My daughter was drooling.
7. Red 2 – OMG, YES! old people can still kick ass and be funny
