Cinema Cindy Reviews American Sniper
By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB“American Sniper” may not be a movie for everyone. It takes the audience into a bloody war we don’t want to witness. It highlights of the life of Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history. We watch as he lines up each target in the crosshairs and decides whether or not to pull the trigger.
The movie takes essential highlights from each of Kyle’s four tours of duty in Iraq, his life leading up to his decision to enlist, his training as a Seal and his relationship with his wife Taya.
Mostly, though, this is a war movie. The scenes on patrol, sniping from rooftops Read More

Cinema Cindy Reviews ‘Mortdecai’
By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB“Mortdecai” is the kind of film one attends when in the mood for some light, sophisticated silliness. It isn’t getting great reviews, but perhaps one’s expectations of the film are a bit off. This is an art-heist caper in the genre of The Pink Panther, complete with incompetent thugs, misguided detectives and aristocrats behaving badly.

Mortdecai, the movie, is based on “Don’t Point That Thing At Me,” the first in a trilogy of books written in the 1970s by British author Kyril Bonfiglioli. Read More
