  • Starlight Drive-In Theater

    Starlight Drive-In Theatre

    Atlanta GA

    By: Cece Hymes

    Got a chance to do another thing off my bucket list in the Atlanta area. This was great. It shows multiple screen drive-ins located in Atlanta GA. You can see current and upcoming movies. I went to see John Wick, it was a little dark, but you can see everything that’s going on. The movie was great.

    One thing I like about this place is that it’s not expensive, you can watch 2 movies for the price of one. Another thing I like is that you can hear it well in your car and bring your own snacks and can talk with other people in the car. The down part is that you have to keep your car running, you don’t want to run your battery dead.  They do sell popcorn and things.

    It is definitely something to try out and different. I am glad I was able to try it out and knock something else off my bucket list. Make sure to check it out and let me know what you think. Also, follow me @Cece.atlbucketlist and @Cece.Atl.

  • We Have a Ghost (Film)

    Movie: We Have a Ghost

    Watch: On Netflix

    By: Cece Hymes

    This movie was pretty good. It was about a ghost in a house that ran people off. This other family moves into the house and when the teenage boy finds a ghost in the attic he is not scared. He records to make sure it is real and wants to help the ghost. When his brother sees the video on his brother’s phone he shows his dad and his dad wants to upload it on YouTube. He thinks this will help him become famous and make money.

    Ernest, who is the ghost, can’t remember what happened to him. He is unable to speak and is really friendly. Kevin, the teenager, becomes friends with the ghost. Kevin and his neighbor start finding clues to figure out who Ernest is. A washed up scientist who once headed a CIA program to investigate paranormal activity sees the YouTube that Kevin Dad Frank put up. She sees this as an opportunity to get back into her Career. She is determined to get Ernest and put him up under observation.

    Kevin and the neighbor find a picture with Ernest and a guy. They find out who the guy is and where he lives. They have to drive miles to go find him. So, Kevin takes his brother’s car and he and the neighbor leave. On their journey they run into cops, and they get away. They go through some things to get to their destination. Little by little Ernest sees little parts of his life when he was alive of a little girl who is his daughter.

    They get to the guy’s house and then the cops bust in and capture Ernest. Kevin is sad because Ernest is his best friend and it’s like he can’t help him get away. He really wanted to help Ernest, that’s his friend. I don’t want to give up all the details of the movie. You have to go watch it.

  • The Big 4 Movie

    Movie: The Big 4

    By: Cece Hymes

    The big 4 was about four retired assassins that have to go back in action when the guy that raised them gets killed and his biological daughter Dina takes a vacation to see if she can find out more information on her dad and there are people trying to kill her and the big 4. You have the Sniper, the Leader, the Bad a**, and the Bait. They are family and they look up to their Mentor they call pops.

    Dina doesn’t know what her father really does but she is going to be a cop. The day he was going to give everything up for her he got killed. She thinks she sees the killer and shoots at him. She finds a picture of her dad with other kids and follows the signs to see if she can find more information.

    As she goes on vacation she has to fight to survive. She learns more about the big 4 and what her father really was. It does have some funny parts in this movie you be like really lol. It is a lot of action in it.

    Can you really live 2 lives? It seems like we see a lot of people do it, but I know it has got to be hard. The movie also shows how family sticks together rather you blood or not. It’s not about who had you, it’s about who raised you and showed you love.

    The Big 4 went on retirement for 3 years and now are forced to reconnect to figure out who murdered their Pops and to keep each other alive. This movie shows that they kill people but at the same time they are saving groups of children from human organ trafficking rings. So, it’s like the bad guys being heroes. The big 4 have been trained all their lives to fight.

    Can you just imagine all these kids being trafficked around the world? This is a movie but this is happening in today’s world. I enjoyed this movie, a great action movie that is sad, funny and loving.

    Check it out and let me know what you think. It is definitely going to be part 2 of this movie. Check it out on Netflix.

  • The Best of Me Movie

    Movie: The Best of Me

    By: Cece Hymes

    I love a good book or movie about love. Everyone wants love but to have your best friend and be in love with them is a different kind of love. My motto is that your best friend is your soulmate. This movie was a good movie, it was emotional but good.

    It was about Amanda and Dawson. They went to high school together. Dawson lived with his dad, which the dad didn’t care much about him. He would beat Dawson and didn’t want him going to school. Amanda saw a lot in Dawson and did things to get his attention because she liked him. Dawson runs away and ends up sleeping in a garage where Turk stayed. Turk is an older man that lives alone. His wife passed away and Dawson ended up becoming the son he never had.

    Dawson and Amanda fall in love and become the best of friends. She pushed him onto so many levels. No amount of money or anything can keep them apart until something bad happens. Dawson had to go away for 8 years in prison. He didn’t want Amanda to put her life on hold for him. He wanted her to live her life and not wait on him. He cuts off all visitation with her that breaks both of their hearts.

    21 years have passed, and Turk passed away. He leaves everything to Amanda and Dawson. They hadn’t seen each other for 21 years. Amanda has had 2 kids and gotten married. When Amanda and Dawson have to pack up Turk house, old sparks come back. They never stop loving each other. They were each other’s soulmates and best friends. The type of love they had is hard to find. When they rekindle it’s like it may be too late. She hasn’t been this happy in a long time. When you find someone like that it’s hard to find again. We as people end up settling in a relationship for years with a person we love but not a person we are in love with. You never forget your first love.

    I hate that kids must go through a lot of pain with their parents. Some parents do not deserve to be parents. I don’t want to give the whole movie away, but it is emotional and good. If you like love movies like me. Make sure to watch this on Netflix. Tell me what you think of the movie.
