How To Make A Killing review

This episode’s movie, “How To Make A Killing”, is about the have a lots, and I mean a lot, vs. the have nots, primarily a have not named Beckett Redfellow played by Glen Powell. He is the son of the heiress to the $28 billion dollar Redfellow family fortune. However, his mother had him out of wedlock and was disowned by the family, but her and her son are still in line for the fortune. Beckett also has a sort of puppy love romance with a girl, Julia, when they’re both still kids. Fast forward to present day and adult Beckett is grinding out a meager living and he gets a visit from Julia (Margaret Qualley) at his work being a modest suit salesman. He’s still into her, but she’s getting married, but she still makes a off-handed joke that he should call her after he’s killed off the family members in front of him in the line for the family fortune. That gets Beckett thinking and soon after our plot is off and running. Is it worth going to the theater to learn what happens next? Find out in this episode of Movies Merica! “How To Make A Killing” also stars Jessica Henwick, Adrian Lukis, Zach Woods, Bill Camp, Topher Grace, Raff Law, Nell Williams, Bianca Amato and Ed Harris.

The Abyss review

In “The Abyss”, after a U.S. nuclear submarine is lost at sea, the U.S. Navy enlists the help of a crew of an underwater oil drilling platform to help find it. A team of Navy SEALs, led by Michael Biehn as Lieutenant Coffey, is sent down to the crew to lead the rescue operation. Unbeknownst to the crew, led by Ed Harris as Bud Brigman and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio as Lindsey, the SEALs have another possible mission. A mission that is deadly for all. On top of that, during the rescue operation, deep sea otherworldly beings start appearing and ratcheting up the already high tension even more. Are these otherworldly beings friend or foe? Then to elevate the tension even more, Lieutenant Coffey starts acting psychotic due to pressure sickness from being deep undersea. Not the development you want, especially with a guy in possession of nuclear warheads. Where is this flashpoint going to end up? Is it worth watching to find out? Watch this retro review episode to find out. “The Abyss” is the movie James Cameron made between “Aliens” and “Terminator 2: Judgement Day” and I’ll talk all about it in this episode. “The Abyss” also stars Leo Burmester, Todd Graff, John Bedford Lloyd, J.C. Quinn, Kimberly Scott, Captain Kidd Brewer Jr., George Robert Klek, Christopher Murphy, Adam Nelson, Dick Warlock, Jimmie Ray Weeks, J. Kenneth Campbell, Ken Jenkins, Chris Elliott and Peter Ratray.
