Beast Movie Review Scroll down to listen to the podcast instead. The Beast was beaten in its opening box office weekend by Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, and I was surprised. Then again, I didn’t even realize the Dragon Ball Super was even released and because it is not my type of programming, I did not give it much thought. Nevertheless, Beast is a pretty good watch. It stars Idris Elba as Dr. Nate Samuels, a newly widowed father who takes his two daughters to his wife’s homeland in order to reconnect with them. Little does he know, he is walking into what appears to be the perfect storm of disasters. He just placed his girls in the middle of nowhere with a really angry lion on the loose, bent on revenge after losing his entire pride.  This movie was enjoyable in that it was a heart-pumping thrill. The beast, aka rouge lion, was out for blood and did not care who he got. If you were human, you were going down. The acting was solid. Let's talk about the beautiful melanated represen...

Pacific Rim Starring:  Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba and Rinko Kikuchi I did not want to see this movie, but my two lovely children really wanted to watch it. There must be something about giant mechanical fighting robots that appeals to kids. I remember when Real Steel came out, and I did not want to see that either but again the kids really wanted to. Turns out that I really enjoyed Real Steel (there's talks about a Real Steel 2, yay) and I really enjoyed Pacific Rim as well. Okay, for the record, I will never get tired of a good alien invasion story. With that said, aliens are invading Earth yet again. This time they come from the sea and are bad ass giant creatures that are relentless and have a plan of total annihilation. That's what I'm talking about! Of course, the ingenius Earthlings that we are, we find a way to fight them by building huge fighting machines powered by human pilots. The action sequences in this movie was interesting considering the computer grap...

Idris Elba will reprise his role as Heimdall in Thor 2. I am all for Thor 2 and all for Idris! Full MTV story

Derek Charles (Idris Elba), a successful asset manager who has just received a huge promotion, is blissfully happy in his career and in his marriage to the beautiful Sharon (Beyoncé). But when Lisa (Ali Larter), a temp worker, starts stalking Derek, everything he's worked so hard for, is placed in jeopardy. Okay, so that was the technical yada yada on this already told story. If you have seen The Temp, Play Misty for Me, and the most notable and very successful Fatal Attraction-all great movies- then you have seen this movie. I guess they figured we have never seen it done the “ethnic” way. And trust me folks, we still haven’t. Idris, who I am obsessed with myself, plays the stereotypical deer-in-the headlight male who has no clue, so for one whole hour we watch his stupidity escalate. But he is so good-looking you cannot up and just leave the theatre. Beyoncé is … a singer… and probably should stick to it. Sorry … I digress. I really should give Ms. B a little more credit. She act...
