Hell or High Water Review ACTION

Hell or High Water Review

RYAN: This is a modern western movie. There are cops and robbers, cowboys and indians but in present day. It’s a bank heist action film without much action. It’s slow moving, boring… there’s a lot of space between good moments.  I felt impatient watching this. It’s a good case of mismanaging expectations because I went ..

Sausage Party Review COMEDY

Sausage Party Review

RYAN: This is an R-rated, animated film for adults, courtesy of one Seth Rogen and company. And I was hoping that, going in, it potentially could be as great as This is the End was but this time animated. And It’s basically The Secret Life of Groceries, only not as good as the Pets variety. It should be so wrong ..

The Angry Birds Movie Review FAMILY

The Angry Birds Movie Review

RYAN: The Angry Birds Movie… Really? CHUCK: (laughs) RYAN: I had zero interest in this film so went in with very low expectations going into this film. Of course I’ve played Angry Birds. Who hasn’t? But I never got into it as much as Candy Crush, Tetris, Unblock Me… Some app games are addictive and apparently they can ..

Elvis & Nixon Review BIOPIC

Elvis & Nixon Review

RYAN: This movie is pretty much summed up by the title and really isn’t much more than that. I think it wanted to come across as one of those “too wacky to be true/you can’t make this stuff up” stories but I wasn’t very entertained by it. It’s mostly boring. KEVIN: I agree. I wasn’t ..

Pee-wee’s Big Holiday Review COMEDY

Pee-wee’s Big Holiday Review

RYAN: I was so excited when I heard there would be a new Pee-wee movie. Unlike My Big Fat Greek Wedding, I actually wanted another Pee-wee movie. This Big Holiday comes 31 years after the classic Big Adventure and 28 years after Big Top. It’s exclusively available on Netflix where we just watched it. You don’t care how many years later it ..

I Saw the Light Review BIOPIC

I Saw the Light Review

RYAN: This is the new Hank Williams biopic starring Tom Hiddleston, most popularly known as Loki from Thor and The Avengers. Elizabeth Olsen costars and I was really looking forward to this because these biopics tend to be very good and are usually Oscar bait. And I love Tom. I was hoping this would be similarly entrapping like Walk the ..

The Brothers Grimsby Review ACTION

The Brothers Grimsby Review

RYAN: Sometimes you go into a movie with high expectations and the movie exceeds them – but what’s it called when you go with with low expectations and it’s even worse than you expected? CHUCK: (laughs) Submarining low expectations? RYAN: This movie is horrible. One of the worst I’ve seen in years. CHUCK: It’s one of ..

Fifty Shades of Black Review COMEDY

Fifty Shades of Black Review

RYAN: This is a spoof comedy by Marlon Wayans along the lines of Scary Movie but it’s not even a little bit palatable. This is one of those movies where you’d be more entertained having a root canal than sitting through it. CAROLINE: (laughs) That’s horrible, honey. I’m so sorry, though I’m not surprised. RYAN: I can ..

Carol Review DRAMA

Carol Review

RYAN: This is the drama that’s getting an incredible amount of awards buzz – already garnering wins and nominations for leading ladies Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara. We were both excited to see this; especially since it’s our first movie together in over a year! But it’s really not what we expected. CAROLINE: The Weinstein ..
