2. A Quiet Place - 4.5/5 stars. Saw twice. Only 6 actors in cast. Star and Directed by John Krasinski, with wife Emily Blunt. Scary in parts - CGI creatures, only 3. But the most scary part for me was her walking down the stairs - nothing to do with monsters but I still cringe. People actually gasped in the theater. Interesting storyline, keeping interest on-the-edge-of-you-seat thruout.
3. Truth or Dare - 2/5 stars. College kids - I could only get 75% of the dialog in the movie. They talk fast and mumble, and I'm a senior. Storyline is OK, but like all films of this type, don't question reality. Like - REALLY?
If you pay to see a movie, skip this one.
Update 4/16:
Hmmm, reading USAToday online this AM, and see an article re weekend Box Office for movies, and the 3 above placed 1-2-3. >
Dwayne Johnson's 'Rampage' snatches No. 1 at the box office

Thanks for those reviews. I want to see the first two but may wait for the Blu-Ray for the third Truth or Dare because I really like to check the details very closely of late in movies.
