“HACKSAW RIDGE” (R) [INTENSE PROLONGED REALISTICALLY GRAPHIC SEQUENCES OF WAR VIOLENCE, INCLUDING GRISLY BLOODY IMAGES.] — An enthralling, riveting, actionpacked, well-acted, factually based, violent, 131-minute Mel Gibson film that follows heroic Virginia conscientious objector and WWII American Army medic Desmond T. Doss (Andrew Garfield) from his days at boot camp at Fort Jackson to courageously saving 75 soldiers (Vince Vaughn, Sam Worthington, Luke Bracey, Benedict Hardie, Richard Roxburgh, Milo Gibson, et al.) during the bloody Battle of Okinawa in 1945, for which he was awarded the Medal of Honor.

Spectacular! What a weekend. Record highs on Saturday with temperatures hitting 70°, that’s 24° warmer than normal. Please tell me you didn’t waste your day staying indoors on Sunday and watch the Vikings disaster to Detroit. Sunday’s high reached near 70°. I’m still picking and enjoying fresh raspberries from my garden while some folks are still harvesting cucumbers and tomatoes, as we’ve yet to have a killing frost. Enjoy it while it lasts. We’ve yet to have a rain this month.

“THE SIGNAL” (PG-13)
“BOO! A MADEA HALLOWEEN” (PG-13) [DRUG USE AND REFERENCES, SUGGESTIVE CONTENT, LANGUAGE, SOME HORROR IMAGES AND THEMATIC MATERIAL.] — When a rebellious 17-year-old daughter (Diamond White) ignores the wishes of her divorced dad (Tyler Perry) and sneaks off to a Halloween frat party with a bunch of rambunctious college students (Yousef Erakat, Andre Hall, Mike Tornabene, et al.) with her best friend (Liza Koshy), her furious aunts (Tyler Perry, Cassi Davis and Patrice Lovely) show up to drag her home in this lackluster, unfunny, disappointing, 103-minute Tyler Perry comedy, and the frat boys play their own silly pranks in retaliation after the police break up the party but become the victims of more pranks after the upset fathers (Tyler Perry and Javon Johnson) decide to have some fun of their own.

[SOME THEMATIC ELEMENTS, VIOLENCE AND LANGUAGE.] [DVD ONLY] — After an inquisitive, crutches-dependent MIT student (Brenton Thwaites) and his two equally smart, adventurous friends (Olivia Cooke and Beau Knapp) go on a road trip to find the origins of a mysterious signal in this creepy, original, low-budget, slow-paced, 95-minute 2014 sci-fi thriller with a shocking climax, they find themselves separated and being interrogated by a hazmat-suit-clad leader (Laurence Fishburne) in what looks like an underground facility and then join forces as they desperately try to escape.
