Tomorrowland

Hang on to your butts… There’s so much action in this trailer and I love how so much about this movie is still a mystery.  I haven’t seen a movie by Brad Bird that I haven’t liked yet and this looks like a different role for George Clooney in a pure adventure movie.  Tomorrowland looks…

#4 – 3 Days To Kill

I was really surprised by how much I liked this movie.  A cheesy trailer and sketchy track record from Kevin Costner as late made me skeptical but it’s fun!  Costner delivers and Amber Heard is smoking hot and gives a solid performance.  Good action work and some well timed humor really round out a good…

#60 – The Trip #61 – The Trip To Italy

Two loosely plotted road trip movies with scenes that sometimes run too long and at times feature grating impression riffs but I found both of them to be charming and fun.  I think I liked The Trip To Italy a tad more but Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon are good in both and they’re both…

#91 – Morning Star

First thing to know about this movie is that there is no plot, absolutely none.  A medieval movie with castles and swords that is so completely boring that I was forced to start returning emails and clean things just to keep my sanity.  The poster is more exciting than anything that actually happens in this…

#94 – Fury

Fury falls victim to a problem that I’m finding with a lot of movies lately.  The first 2/3 are compelling and fascinating with action scenes like I’ve never seen on film.  Characters and motives that are clear and interesting, dialogue that conveys frustration and stakes, imagery that jumps from the screen…and then an ending that…

#104 – The Overnighters

There are documentaries about interesting subject matter that just on their face make you want to dive in and find out more about them and then there are documentaries that feature interesting people and no matter the subject you have to follow these people to some kind of resolution.  I found The Overnighters to be…

#51 – Earth To Echo

I lost interest pretty quickly with this movie.  The found footage conceit is completely unneeded, the plot is over complicated for a family movie and the lead characters are incredibly annoying.  What looked like a fun, family adventure turned out to be so much less and for me, unlikeable. Recommend? I guess maybe kids would…

#34 – John Wick

The world that John Wick inhabits is one of danger and violence…like, a lot of violence.  John Wick is a throw back to the 80’s and 90’s action movies that preferred style over substance, even starring a man, Keanu Reeves, who rose to prominence as an unlikely star during that time.  What makes this movie…

#24 – The Interview

Despite all of the buzz and the controversy the best part of this movie was when it was over.  I chuckled a few times but other than that I couldn’t stand James Franco’s overacting and Seth Rogen was just alright.  Ludicrous and silly but annoyingly so. Recommend? Go watch Pineapple Express, it’s a better movie…

#102 – Swearnet: The Movie

Man this movie is bad.  Basically The Trailer Park Boys play themselves and swear almost every other word.  There’s a plot that somehow involves a car race and some shady loan sharks but let’s not kid ourselves, none of that even matters when the guys are calling each other names, puking on things and shoving…
