An Ode to Idris Elba Movies


SOMETIMES IN APRIL, my GIRLFRIENDS and I get together for our annual CALL OF DUTY--to kick back with some SOUL FOOD and a couple of martinis and tell CRUCIAL TALES about all the TAKERS and LOSERS in our lives. We have an ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS time eating, drinking and discussing our ONE LOVE: FAMILY AFFAIRS.  


The last time we were together, we reminisced about PROM NIGHT and how OBSESSED our classmate LUTHER was with a girl named BELLE MAMAN (who later became his wife).  Holy THOR! If a guy even thought about going anywhere near Belle, Luther went AMERICAN GANGSTER on him and the REAPING was a WORLD OF TROUBLE!  Diane BRAMWELL told us that Luther has a HUMAN CONTRACT out on a guy named JONNY ZERO.  Apparently, Jonny, a badass ROCKNROLLA, had been picking up Belle at THE OFFICE every Thursday night for the past year to go on a secret rendezvous. When Luther found out, he was livid! He turned into a raging, homicidal madman and vowed to HACK off Jonny’s "SILENT WITNESS!" Jonny’s been hiding BEHIND THE MASK ever since, but Luther is relentless. INSIDERS say that Luther has THE BIG C now and only has six months to live. They say if he doesn’t get revenge on Jonny before he dies, his LEGACY to his UNBORN child will be to kill Jonny’s kids. What is the city of  PACIFIC RIM  coming to??? Do we have to call up the NUMBER 1 LADIES' DETECTIVE AGENCY to get some LAW and ORDER around here? Hopefully those wannabe-CSI:MIAMI cops will get everything SORTED out soon and lock Luther up at the SPACE PRECINCT before Jonny enters the DANGERFIELD.


Well, the VERDICT is in…time flies when you’re having fun!  My girlfriends and I went down to THE WIRE during our last gathering and didn’t get a chance to talk about LONDON’S BURNING topic: the GHOST RIDER spotted by the bridge last week.  So now we’ve made plans to get away more often.  We know our spouses won’t like it, but hey, IT’S ALL IN THE GAME, and these DADDY’S LITTLE GIRLS know how to handle their men! Our next get-together will be THIS CHRISTMAS, and then again 28 WEEKS LATER.  And to top it all off, Jackie, who's married to THE GOVERNOR and runs the 2POINT4CHILDREN foundation, insists on footing THE BILL!



Question: How many of these movies/TV shows starring Idris Elba have you seen?
