My reviews of the week’s new movies opening Weds
RYAN: We need a little Christmas right about now, don’t we? CAROLINE: Well, ’tis the season! How is this movie? RYAN: It has one major strength, some little ones and then a big weakness. It’s not bad though. CAROLINE: Doesn’t sounds very convincing. RYAN: Maybe I’m a bit jaded on the holidays right now because ..
RYAN: Ben Affleck’s latest is a crime drama/thriller and I found it interesting because it’s a thinly veiled superhero film. He is Batman, He’s been Daredevil. He’s now playing an accountant with special skills based on the fact he’s autistic. This film makes autism a superpower – in a way. Well that and the fact ..
RYAN: I’d like to welcome Luke Hammond to this review – Harry Potter brought us together as friends and he likes movies as much as I do. And you were graciously willing to join me at the press screening for this horror film, so welcome to my website. Let’s dissect this film. You recently rewatched the ..
RYAN: This film is “inspired by true events” and that’s where I have to begin this review because I was absolutely beside myself watching this film. CAROLINE: Yeah I have to imagine, considering the subject matter, it’s one of those movies that’s sad it’s based on, or inspired by reality. Daniel Radcliffe basically infiltrates a ..
RYAN: This is a remake of the 1959 Charlton Heston classic that immediately felt so redundant it begs the question, “Why?” But it’s has its pros and cons. CAROLINE: Do, please, explain. RYAN: Well it opens feeling a lot like a Soap Opera version of a Biblical epic. It’s melodramatic and riddled with amateur production ..
RYAN: It’s the latest R-rated female comedy and I’m loving that it’s a thing now. And I live for this cast. It might have been helped had it been directed by Pail Feig though. But this cast is a dream – Mila Kunis, Kathryn Hahn (total scene stealer), Kristen Bell, Christina Applegate as their nemesis ..
RYAN: This is a horror from Warner Bros., produced by James Wan and it’s just ok. The scares are mostly manipulative from well timed editing. There’s good use of light and dark. And there’s an evil character that basically looks like the grown up version of the girl from The Ring, you know, the black stringy hair, ..
RYAN: This movie is so long in the making – it has been rumored to be in the works for years and at last it’s here! Based on one of the most popular BBC sitcoms, it aired over here and garnered a cult following in the US. I’ve always enjoyed it – It’s Jennifer Saunders ..
RYAN: This is a new crime drama about an undercover cop infiltrating a drug cartel, money launderer, based on a true story from the mid-80s in Tampa, Florida. It’s shocking and horrifying the amount of drug money filtered through our country and the way that banks are involved too. The drug biz is so large ..
RYAN: This is a new comedy that’s really an experimental/absurdist type of film and among those I’ve seen, it’s gotta be my fave. It’s not unwatchable. It’s weird with a sci fi bent. It’s an alternate reality where single people are forced to couple up in 45 days or be transformed into the animal of ..
