The Last Showgirl, Back in Action, Den of Thieves 2: Pantera

Movie 1: The Last Showgirl

This is a very entertaining, emotional drama about an aging showgirl in a Las Vegas revue that is about to close. The acting is superb. Pamela Anderson and Jamie Lee Curtis dazzle on screen and deserve all the accolades they are receiving. The costumes are perfect old Las Vegas. Gia Coppola, the granddaughter of Francis Ford Coppola, does a very good job of directing. Currently only in theatres.

Movie 2: Back in Action

It is really good to see Cameron Diaz back in a movie after a decade of not acting. This comedy/drama is about a couple of aging former CIA agents forced back into action to protect their family. It’s a very familiar and well-worn premise, lots of car chases and fight scenes. We’ve seen it all before, but somehow this is a lot of fun. On Netflix.

Movie 3: Den of Thieves 2: Pantera

Seven years after the original Den of Thieves, Gerard Butler and O’Shea Jackson Jr. reprise their roles of thief and police officer. Very good visuals and action scenes, but overall just an OK heist movie. It would be helpful to revisit the first movie before seeing this one.
