“The Unforgivable” Stars Bullock and Davis
Directed by Nora Fingscheidt, The Unforgivable follows Ruth Slater, played by Sandra Bullock, who just got out of prison for killing someone.
She re-enters society and tries to connect with your younger sister. Her only chance of redemption is the connection with her sister, who she was forced to leave behind.
Her sister’s adoptive mother, Viola Davis, wants nothing to do with Ruth. But, her husband, played by Vincent D’Onofrio, seems to feel she has redeeming qualities and goes against his wife’s wishes.
It’s based on the story of the Yorkshire award-winning drama Unforgiven, a mini-series about a young woman released from prison for murdering two police officers. Now, she wants to find her younger sister.
The Netflix movie also stars Jon Bernthal, Richard Thomas, Aisling Franciosi, and W. Earl Brown.

Based on a comic book co-written and directed by James Gunn, The Suicide Squad follows a secret government agency that recruits some of the most dangerous incarcerated supervillains. The purpose is to form a defensive task force. Their first mission is saving the world from the apocalypse.
These supervillains are impressive with Quinn, Bloodsport and Peacemaker. Then, there is a collection of cons at Belle Reve prison who join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X. Here, they are heavily armed and dropped off at the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese.
Gunn is best known for directing the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. John Ostrander co-wrote the script with Gunn, based on his modern comic book version.
The all-star cast makes the journey of this movie worthwhile. The movie stars: Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena, Viola Davis, Taika Waititi and Sylvester Stallone.
“Troop Zero” Posters and Trailer
Directed by Bert & Bertie, Troop Zero takes place in a tiny Georgia town in 1977. A motherless girl dreams of a life beyond the confines of her trailer-park home. When her quest for connection leads her to reach for the stars in a competition that lands on NASA’s landmark Golden Record, it becomes clear she will have to depend on some new friends to take her the last mile.
Every night, Christmas Flint, played by Mckenna Grace, sits under a starry sky with a flashlight, signaling to extraterrestrial visitors that never arrive. Sensitive, imaginative, and deeply lonely, Christmas and her equally eccentric best friend Joseph are the ultimate misfits in their rural hometown of Wiggly, Georgia. When Christmas learns that the winners of the annual Birdie Scout Jamboree talent contest will be included on a recording to be sent into space for posterity, her mission in life becomes to join the Scouts and win Jamboree.
A snobbish local Birdie Scout troop and their uptight leader Miss Massey, played by Allison Janney, blackball her. Christmas rallies a group of elementary-school outliers to start their own chapter. With grudging help from her dad’s angry office manager, Miss Rayleen, played by Viola Davis, Christmas and her crew have to bypass every roadblock Miss Massey can find in the fine print of the Birdie bylaws to reach the Jamboree and their chance at immortality.
The movie entertains on many levels with Christmas’ solitary late-night vigils and final show-stopping musical performance. Troop Zero is an endearing and magical tale set against a backdrop of beloved hits of the ’70s, as Christmas forges friendships that will change her life and help her find a real family.
Janney and Grace starred together in I, Tanya, which Janney won an Oscar for her supporting role.
Watch the trailer and have a good belly laugh.

Here are two more movie trailers. We get the gest of the movie, now. These women take charge of their lives and it’s payback time.
The movie also stars Liam Neeson, Colin Farrell, Robert Duvall, Daniel Kaluuya, Lukas Haas and Brian Tyree Henry.
The three movie clips so how fast the movie moves. I hope this is true throughout the movie. I viewed some interviews with the actors, screenwriter, and director. Each actor praised the director, McQueen. You can see these interviews on my YouTube Channel.
The movie clip tells us more about the story and why these ladies decided to turn themselves into tough chicks.
The official second trailer tells the story, and I am excited and can’t wait to see it.
The two trailers are similar but one is a red-band trailer, which means it is for mature audiences.
The Blu-ray, DVD, and streaming are available. Purchasing the Blu-ray package is nearly 60-minutes of bonus content, with three documentary featurettes filled with in-depth interviews and raw on-set footage detailing the compelling production story of the movie.
