THE MOST HATED MEN IN AMERICA

Wild review

Academy Award Winner Reese Witherspoon (Walk The Line) stars in this extraordinary true story from the director of Dallas Buyers Club and based on the best-selling novel.

This one sat on my ‘to watch’ pile for longer than I can justify, it was a good enough film, but I know that it was going to cover some subjects that weren’t going to help my emotional state of well being. I was right, but I’m happy to have watched the movie.

Ingrid Goes West review

Ingrid Thorburn (Aubrey Plaza) is an unstable young woman with a checkered past of obsessive behavior. She secretly moves to Los Angeles to befriend Taylor Sloane (Elizabeth Olsen) — an Instagram “influencer” with a fabulous artist boyfriend, a camera-ready terrier, and an array of new products and brands to promote to her followers. After Ingrid adopts a Taylor-made identity for herself, her attempts to prove she’s BFF material are underway — that is, until she meets Taylor’s obnoxious brother Nicky, who threatens to tear down her façade. Also starring O’Shea Jackson Jr., Ingrid Goes West is a savagely hilarious dark comedy that brilliantly satirizes the modern world of social media and proves that being #perfect isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

A perfect role for Aubrey Plaza, this is the second bit of media that i’ve seen her taking crazy pills in, the first being LEGION. She really does play crazy very well, though it would be great to see her get back to a role like she had in Parks & Rec, I really did love her there.

The Missouri Breaks review

Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson ignite the screen in this rousing story of a wealthy Montana rancher who hires a professional killer to track down a gang of horse thieves.

I honestly didn’t think I was going to watch this today, I was bored and needed something to occupy my mind and turned on broadcast tv and watched this on on the “Charge” Network*, which broadcasts in low rez SD widescreen, but not in HD and chose to show the film in pan & scan. I haven’t seen a movie that was in forever and it was weird. But then I noticed that Marlon Brando was playing a “regulator”, which is what a vigilante was called in ye olde’ west, who was going up against a gang of horse rustlers lead by Jack Nicholson. Ends up it was a good film and I didn’t even think about the weird movie ratio until well after the movie was over.

*Shame about that Sinclair bit, I think I’ve heard they’re the next right wing insanity that’s on the horizon.

Charge! is an American digital broadcast television network that is owned by the Sinclair Television Group subsidiary of the Sinclair Broadcast Group and operated by the MGM Television division of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The network features action- and adventure-based programming sourced primarily from the MGM television and film library.

Mayhem review

Derek Cho (Steven Yeun, “The Walking Dead”) is having a really bad day. After being unjustly fired from his job, he discovers that the law firm’s building is under quarantine for a mysterious and dangerous virus. Chaos erupts throughout the office as the victims of the disease begin acting out their wildest impulses. Joining forces with a former client (Samara Weaving, “Ash vs Evil Dead”) who has a grudge of her own, Derek savagely fights tooth and nail to get to the executives on the top floor and settle the score once and for all.

I picked this up after hearing about it on a Red Letter Media video, they had mentioned that it was better than The Belko Experiment, which I enjoyed. As much as I enjoyed Belko, Mayhem really is a great riff on the same concepts, though there’s obviously different starting points, they both end up with people stuck in a building killing each other, in Belko unwillinging and in Mayhem as zombies. Sorta zombies. Transitional zombies?

Regardless, I enjoyed it, have you seen it, any thoughts?

Collateral Beauty review

When a successful New York ad executive suffers a personal tragedy and retreats from life, his friends devise a drastic plan to reach him before he loses everything. Pushing him to the very edge, they force him to confront the truth in surprising and profoundly human ways. From Oscar-winning director David Frankel, this thought-provoking drama explores how even the deepest tragedy can reveal moments of beauty, and how the constants of love, time and loss interlock in a life fully lived.

Will Smith can act the shit out of anything and he really did a great job with Collateral Beauty. I was incredibly unhappy with the ending of the film though, I really felt like it cheapened the entire film to have connections where there should not have been any.

The Tick 2001 review

Based on Ben Edlund’s cult comic, a mysterious blue avenger teams up with an odd group of superheroes to fight crime.

Featuring Joe Swanson as The Tick. His real name is Patrick Warburton, but everyone know his voice from Family Guy at this point. It’s obvious that there was a budget on this series, it only ran for nine episodes and I don’t think I saw a major fight or special effect the entire time.

Imagine if Seinfeld was in a blue rubber suit and Elane was running around in a sexy captain america costume and that’s what this basically ends up being. Not a bad series but it definitely shows both it’s low budget and it’s age.

Clue The Movie review

Six guests are invited to a strange house and must cooperate with the staff to solve a murder mystery.

Absurdist humor from some absolutely amazing actors well into their prime, I’m sad I hadn’t watched this before now, I really enjoyed the movie and all of it’s assorted endings.

Saturn 3 review

Adam (Kirk Douglas) and Alex (Farrah Fawcett) are two scientists stationed deep beneath the barren surface of Saturn’s third moon, Titan. Their perfect world is interrupted when Benson (Harvey Keitel) arrives as Saturn goes into eclipse and cuts off communication with the rest of the solar system. Aided by his ‘helper robot’ Hector, Benson reduces life to one single purpose…survival.

Included in Amazon Prime, that robot is both cheap looking and terrifying. The story isn’t much to talk about and the actors were present while the cameras were running, but there was definitely something missing in the mix here.

The Dark Crystal review

When Jen, a member of the Gelfling tribe, sets out to find the crystal’s missing shard, his dangerous journey to restore peace to their planet brings him face to face with monsters at every turn. This masterpiece of animation recounts the timeless tale of good vs. evil and has become a cult favourite of children and grown-ups alike!

High fantasy as told by puppets. Great story, execution was an LSD trip that I wish I didn’t take.

Proud Mary review

Mary is a hit woman working for an organized crime family, whose life is turned around when she meets a boy during a professional hit.
Based on the trailer, I thought this was going to be John Wick but with a sexy lady. Taraji P. Henson is pretty good looking, but they didn’t use her looks here. They didn’t use her acting abilities either, I know I’ve seen her in some pretty good roles, but this one was not her best. The plot stuttered through the film along with some pretty terribly acting by actors that I KNOW are good, Danny Glover has a body of work that I’ve enjoyed but he didn’t seem to realize the camera was on for half his takes.

I really felt like they didn’t take enough takes and the editing wasn’t able to cover how poorly the film was filmed and directed. There was a distinct point where I was getting bored with the whole thing and Proud Mary pulls up in her car to park in front of a building and I shit you not there were tires squealing and brakes flaring as she gently took a corner at 15 mph and parked herself, so they obviously realized that there was a lack of action that needed to be pushed up. There’s several action scenes towards the end of the film that really broken me out of the film and shattered my suspension of disbelief: her arrival at a warehouse in which her car is shot at by 20 men with 50 round magazines and her attempt at sneaking into the warehouse after she survived the entry. Just off the top of my head, I’ll say there were about 500 shots that landed on her car as she arrived, all of them landing on her hood or in the passenger seat. None to the wheels, none to the driver seat, none to the engine block, just to the frame of the car. She sat there for half a minute while they shot round after round into her car, I swear she was being shot at by storm troopers. Then, as she’s sneaking in trying to be quiet as possible, an entirely inappropriately loud Motown cut of “Proud Mary” is playing at max volume. It was a great song, but completely wrong for the tone that they were trying to convey.

Skip it and go see something better.
