My Review: I LOVE this movie! I'd watch it again for sure! It was very heartwarming, but all so true about what could happen to our parents, and eventually, to us as we get older. We could find ourselves alone, and doing things alone. I even feel that living in a community like this is best as we get older. As we can make friends, and possibly even find love again. I also enjoyed the mean girls concept. Some older people become mean and bitter just to guard their own hearts. They don't realize that they are pushing people away when they do this. I was cool to see Helen show Janet (Jane Curtain) that she's a good person and to lighten up and live, instead of being mean and bitter towards most other people. I give this movie 5 stars!
Synopsis: While her house undergoes repairs, fiercely independent senior Helen (Academy Award®-winner Ellen Burstyn) moves into a nearby retirement community ― just temporarily. Once behind the doors of Pine Grove Senior Community, she encounters lusty widows, cutthroat bridge tournaments and a hotbed of bullying “mean girls,” the likes of which she hasn’t encountered since high school, all of which leaves her yearning for the solitude of home. But somewhere between flower arranging and water aerobics Helen discovers that it’s never too late to make new friends and perhaps even find a new love.

How far would you go to survive?... A small town detective while investigating the disappearance of a local woman comes across an unassuming Sociology professor who lives a double life.
My Review and Thoughts:
A tad suspenseful, but not really. I was on the edge of my seat a few times, but to me, it wasn't enough. I wanted more. This movie does show though how victims form a trauma bond with their captors, and how it keeps them from trying to escape. I wanted them to hurt their captor so badly.
NEW comedy WELCOME MATT starring Tahj Mowry!
WELCOME MATT is written and directed by Leon Pierce Jr and also stars Deon Cole, Jazsmin Lewis-Kelley, Dorien Wilson, and G.G. Townson. Coming to theaters and on demand on Friday, May 28, 2021.
Matt (Tahj Mowry) is a twenty something year old up and coming filmmaker that encounters a traumatic experience on the verge of his big break into the film industry. As a result of suffering this traumatic incident, he finds himself developing agoraphobia and is now unable to leave his home. Feeling compelled to stay inside where he believes it to be safe, but still wanting to create art, he decides to write, direct and star in a feature film project that no one believes in! As a result of this, his girlfriend breaks up with him, he finds himself being broke and facing an eviction and his only saving grace is to take a movie deal to get back on his feet. But in order to do so, he must overcome his fear of going outside. So, with the help of an in-home therapist, Matt makes an effort to overcome his fears and go outside, in hopes of living a better and much more fulfilling life.
My Review and Thoughts:
I couldn't imagine being in Matt's place. With Covid and the stay at home orders, I feel that we will see more and more people with agoraphobia. The media had some people so afraid to go outside, let alone, that they had to wear masks while outside, in their cars, and even, inside their own homes! I pray that this never happens to someone I know. Life goes on when people withdraw from it like Matt did. Matt was a film maker, and people are just dying for him to make more movies! Does Matt go outside? Or does he let his fear overtake him? Watch Welcome Matt to find out! This movie is awesome!
