Hustlers makes you care about the ladies before you ever get sucked into the crime-thriller aspect of the movie. It’s a movie about strippers that doesn’t overly sexualize the women. You can tell there were no men involved in the writing or direction as the male gaze was absent and it made all the difference.
Round 1 of our tournament has ended and it was quite the adventure. There were issues with twitter, some debate over the format, barely any people knowing I have a page on Facebook. Regardless, we made it through and we’re on to the second round.
A few weeks ago I got the idea to make a tournament among my followers to see what they think are the greatest shows and movies of all-time. I got a lot of answers and a ton of shows/movies that I expected to see weren’t mentioned at all.
It Chapter Two put together a dream cast with a combined 2 Oscar nominations, 6 Emmy nominations and 1 Emmy win (2, 3, and the win respectively from Jessica Chastain alone). Now the question was how they would go about telling this part of the story and could they truly capture the magic that the kids did with a group of 40 year olds?
Ready or not serves as solid horror comedy that doesn’t necessarily have laugh out loud funny moments but has fun with its premise. Samara Weaving is great and you can definitely enjoy this as a movie night movie.
A Vigilante gets a very strong performance from Olivia Wilde and tackles an important issue that doesn’t get covered well in most media. However, it is definitely a festival darling type of movie. This isn’t one you should watch if you’re slightly tired late at night.
Peanut Butter Falcon wastes no time getting to its story. Shia Labeouf plays Tyler. He’s a crappy fisherman who is on his way nowhere and keeps making trouble for himself down at the docks. At the same time we have Zak. He’s a young man with downs syndrome who is stuck at an old folks home in this same small, coastal North Carolina town. Along with his roommate he plans a late night escape and winds up having to hide at the docks.
Just this year “Screwball” was released for the mass audience to watch. It is not hidden nor difficult to figure out what the movie is about, nor is it something sports fans can avoid. Screwball is about the steroid era in baseball, and how it became such an epidemic to a historically clean sport that is considered “America’s past time”
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark was more creepy than scary though it did have its moments. Throughout the movie I couldn’t help but feel like I was watching a ghostly version of Final Destination.
Yesterday was just as fun as the trailer makes it out to be. There is a romance story line that I don’t really care for but besides that it’s a fun ride with great acting and great humor throughout.
