Trying to reverse a family curse, brothers Jimmy (Channing Tatum) and Clyde Logan (Adam Driver) set out to execute an elaborate robbery during the legendary Coca-Cola 600 race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
This was a very quirky movie and a great cast. I really didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did but the laughs were plenty even if they were mostly the shaking your head at the stupidity of the actors. You could tell that it was a Soderbergh movie though because it very much had an Ocean's 11 kind of feel to it where what you were really seeing would be cleared up later.
I would recommend people checking this movie out. It's a fun watch with a great cast. The quirkiness throughout really made it enjoyable.
The world’s top protection agent (Ryan Reynolds) is called upon to guard the life of his mortal enemy, one of the world’s most notorious hitmen (Samuel L. Jackson). The relentless bodyguard and manipulative assassin have been on the opposite end of the bullet for years and are thrown together for a wildly outrageous 24 hours. During their raucous and hilarious adventure from England to the Hague, they encounter high-speed car chases, outlandish boat escapades and a merciless Eastern European dictator (Gary Oldman) who is out for blood. Salma Hayek joins the mayhem as Jackson’s equally notorious wife.
This was a throwback summer action movie. Turn off your brain and don't question the logic/validity of the things happening on screen and enjoy the show. Lots of crazy banter. Lots of sarcasm between the leads. Lots of silliness and some love stuff mixed in. I have always been able to enjoy movies like this especially when there is great chemistry between the actors like in this one.
I would recommend people checking this out. It is by no means a good or great movie but it can be very enjoyable if you can turn your brain off.
In the 28th century, Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline (Cara Delevingne) are a team of special operatives charged with maintaining order throughout the human territories. Under assignment from the Minister of Defense, the two embark on a mission to the astonishing city of Alpha—an ever-expanding metropolis where species from all over the universe have converged over centuries to share knowledge, intelligence and cultures with each other. There is a mystery at the center of Alpha, a dark force which threatens the peaceful existence of the City of a Thousand Planets, and Valerian and Laureline must race to identify the marauding menace and safeguard not just Alpha, but the future of the universe.
Yikes. I had given this movie the benefit of the doubt hoping that it would be somewhat like The Fifth Element - a totally off the wall movie from years ago that I will still watch all the time as one of the ultimate guilty pleasure movies. It was ridiculously bad though. I pulled the plug halfway through because of how not enjoyable this movie was in every way. Characters - poop. Story - poop. Pacing - poop. Even the visual spectacle of it which should have been enough to carry the movie by itself? Poop.
I would not recommend anyone bother wasting their time or money on this one. This will end up being one of the worst movies of the year I'm pretty sure.
11-year-old orphan, Félicie (Elle Fanning) has one dream - to go to Paris and become a dancer. Her best friend Victor (Nat Wolff), an imaginative but exhausting boy with a passion for creating, has a dream of his own - to become a famous inventor. In a leap of faith, Victor and Félicie leave their orphanage in pursuit of their passions. But - there's a catch, Félicie must pretend to be the child of a wealthy family in order to gain admittance to the prestigious and competitive Opera Ballet School in Paris. And with no professional dance training, she quickly learns that talent alone is not enough to overcome the ruthless, conniving attitudes of her fellow classmates, led by the devious Camille Le Haut (Maddie Ziegler). Determined to succeed, Félicie finds her mentor in the tough and mysterious school custodian, Odette (Carly Rae Jepsen) who, along with Victor's encouraging friendship, help her reach for the stars.
What a snoozefest. I honestly can't remember an animated movie that was this boring for both kids and adults. The material is not cutesy enough for kids honestly and it's too boring for adults. There is a reason why this movie was in release limbo for what felt like years. It should have completely been removed.
I would not recommend anyone bothering with this turd. It's a total waste of time.
The crown jewel of Her Majesty’s Secret Intelligence Service, Agent Lorraine Broughton (Theron) is equal parts spycraft, sensuality and savagery, willing to deploy any of her skills to stay alive on her impossible mission. Sent alone into Berlin to deliver a priceless dossier out of the destabilized city, she partners with embedded station chief David Percival (James McAvoy) to navigate her way through the deadliest game of spies.
Charlize Theron was one bad ass mofo in this movie. She was perfectly cast as a female Jason Bourne type. The action was great. The spy stuff was great. The pacing was great. This movie was a very fun ride and the 80s soundtrack was awesomely worked in to the different moods on screen at that time.
I would definitely recommend peeps checking this out. It was a very enjoyable watch and a hell of a ride of action.
The film follows a rookie female FBI agent (Olsen) who teams up with a veteran, local game tracker with a haunted past (Renner) to investigates a murder on a remote Native American Reservation in the hopes of avenging the girl’s death.
This is one of those movies that is a decent watch if you have the time but is ultimately just there. It's not a must see but it's not necessarily bad either. It's a decent story with decent characters but is really just kind of there.
I wouldn't really recommend anyone feeling the need to get to your local theater and pay for this. Catch it in passing if you have the time once it shows up on cable or Netflix.
Surly Squirrel (Will Arnett) and the gang are back. We are once again in Oakton where the evil mayor has decided to bulldoze Liberty Park and build a dangerous amusement park in its place. Surly and his ragtag group of animal friends band together to save their home, defeat the mayor, and take back the park.
This was poop and I stopped trying to watch it 30 minutes in. I don't remember much about the first one which pretty much screams why was a sequel made. Add to that how the portion of this movie I watched was a really lame rip off of Over The Hedge and I couldn't fight off pulling the plug on it.
I would not recommend anyone wasting their time or money with this. It's poop and not even worth taking kids to see it.
Blindsided by a new generation of blazing-fast racers, the legendary Lightning McQueen is suddenly pushed out of the sport he loves. To get back in the game, he will need the help of an eager young race technician, Cruz Ramirez, with her own plan to win, plus inspiration from the late Fabulous Hudson Hornet and a few unexpected turns. Proving that #95 isn’t through yet will test the heart of a champion on Piston Cup Racing’s biggest stage!
This was an excellent rebound for this franchise. Cars 2 is pretty much recognized as the one big turd that Pixar has ever made. They pretty much made that movie as a blatant attempt to sell a bunch of merchandise. Everything about it was very much mailed in. This movie is absolutely the worthy sequel to Cars. This had all the same writing and emotional hooks that the original did and was a very pleasant surprise since I had gone in to it expecting another turd in an animation franchise that I have never really been hooked by even though I liked the original.
I would definitely recommend people checking this out. It was a very enjoyable family film with great messages for kids and adults alike.
Chronicling the adventures of an eccentric, resilient and tight-knit family, The Glass Castle is a remarkable story of unconditional love. Oscar winner Brie Larson brings Jeannette Walls's best-selling memoir to life as a young woman who, influenced by the joyfully wild nature of her deeply dysfunctional father (Woody Harrelson), found the fiery determination to carve out a successful life on her own terms.
This was a very well acted family drama. Everything felt beyond genuine and real. Brie Larson and especially Woody Harrelson really put in Oscar worthy performances and both really hook the audience into caring big time. The back and forth between childhood and adulthood dealing with the family by Brie Larson made for excellent story telling.
I would absolutely recommend people checking this movie out. Excellent acting across the board and a dysfunctional family story that completely hooks you.
In a coming-of-age story straight out of Jersey, an unlikely rapper finds her voice as a one-of-a-kind hip-hop legend in the making in "Patti Cake$," the first feature film from acclaimed commercial and music-video director Geremy Jasper. Set in gritty strip-mall suburbia, "Patti Cake$" chronicles an underdog’s quest for fame and glory with humor, raw energy and some unforgettable beats.
This was a pretty enjoyable watch. If you were to take 8 Mile and make Eminem a white girl with a very random posse - you have Patti Cake$. That being said, the movie was well done and enjoyable regardless of the feeling that you have kind of seen it before. The characters and the freedom they are given acting wise really carried it.
I would sort of recommend people checking this movie out. It's not a must see by any means and honestly it barely opened so I'm not sure about how much it's possible for anyone to see it if they wanted to, but it's a pretty good watch.
