Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Movie Review

May 6, 2017 Published by JMcNaughton

The Master of the Marvel Mix Tape is back. Yes, Peter Quill and his gang of misfits have returned to the movies. “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” takes another step into the wilder side of Marvel’s never-ending stream of comic book heroes. Back in 2014, the first movie introduced the characters, and now you have more time to get to know your ‘Guardians’.

Quill (Chris Pratt), also known as Star Lord, is working with Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and Drax (Dave Bautista). With them are the two creatures; a genetically-modified raccoon named Rocket (Bradley Cooper) and humanoid tree-thing, now called Baby Groot (Vin Diesel). They are hired to fight off a monster for a group of gold-colored Sovereign people. They defeat the beast and win the release of Nebula (Karen Gillan), Gamora’s evil half-sister.

But soon the Sovereign leader is after the Guardians, and they hire a mercenary team of Ravagers led by Yondu (Michael Rooker). Yondu and Quill have a sorted history going way back to when Peter was kidnapped off Earth. Peter Quill is still looking for his father, when the Guardians meet up with Ego (Kurt Russell). Ego is an ancient being called a Celestial, and he has created an entire Living Planet based on his brain power.

Quill learns that Ego (his human-like avatar, not the Planet) is his actual father. But Quill is still upset that Ego loved his mother, but then left her. Quill wants to go along with Ego, so that he can be a semi-immortal creature, too. But Gamora is wary, and she has a right to be. Not everything is as rosy as it appears. Yondu has his crew mutiny against him, but with help from Rocky and Baby Groot, he’s back in command.

Nebula escapes and goes after her half-sister Gamora. They fight an attack each other, but they do eventually find common ground. Ego has plans, much larger than what Peter Quill can imagine. But his plans would cause death and destruction of thousands of planets. All of the Guardians, along with Nebula and Yondu, team up for a good old-fashioned fight to the finish. Ego is immortal and all-powerful, but he still has some weak spots. If the crew all work together, can they find the answers in time?

Marvel scored really big with the first ‘Guardians’ movie, and now they have a chance to double-down on the crazy fun of these characters. There is such a high-energy spark within this group that the easy dialog and funny situations just are a joy to watch. Each characters get a little time to develop more and become deeper and more intense. Some are real standouts, such as Yondu. His character was not much more than a cameo in the first movie. But here Michael Rooker really gets to make fantastic impression.

All the actors are great and well cast for the roles. The most fun is to see Kurt Russell coming back into movies big time, and this role for him is just icing on the cake. Baby Groot is such a little huggable sapling, that every time his image is on screen, you just want to say, “Awwwww”. Quill is still clever and snarky, Gamora is strong and stoic, and Drax is a huge mountain of power, with a big soft heart.

The movie is full of pop culture references. Lots of things are brought up, such as Pac-Man, Cheers (the TV show), Knight Rider (the TV show) and David Hasselhoff. There are again lots of Marvel cameos, like Howard the Duck, Cosmo the Space Dog and (of course) Stan Lee. There are a few celebrity cameos: Sylvester Stallone, Ving Rhames, and Michelle Yeoh.

Yes, the “Guardians of the Galaxy” have come back, and they are saving the Galaxy again. As Rocky says, “We can really raise our rates now”. It seems that they have raised the quality standards, too. Hey, and it can also be found in 3-D and in IMAX format, which actually makes for Greater Guardians!

Is That A Gun in Your Pocket?

April 18, 2017 (updated April 18, 2017) Published by Shari K. Green

The plot of Is That A Gun in Your Pocket? is loosely based on the ancient Greek play “Lysistrata.” It was written and first performed in 411 BC. It’s interesting to see how little has changed in that men and women still lock horns over what the other considers to be best for their family and also in the way we entertain one another.

In the play, Lysistrata persuades the women of Greece to withhold sex from their husbands until they negotiate peace and end the Peloponnesian War. Using the theme of a 2,000-year-old sex comedy works for what the women of this small Texas town want from their men. These are strong values to stand on and the film does a good job of giving the audience both point of views. The comedy chafe’s the brain a few times as some scenes are not only too contrived but sophomoric, however, in the long run, it’s worth a watch for the number of times you’ll chuckle at this battle the sexes.

In Rockford, Texas, guns are the order of the day. This is set up in several ways. Pay special attention to the titles playing at the theatre for the wittiest of them. This little borough of 6,969 people is calm and quiet almost idyllic, in fact, and everyone seems happy on the surface yet deep down brews a silent soldier in the form of resentment. The women speak of it and make fun of men in group chats; the men do the same behind the backs of their wives or girlfriends, mostly while hunting. What is this resentment based on? Their sex lives. Their sex lives couldn’t be staler if it were a cracker from 1991 found this morning behind the refrigerator. As if it were a sketch comedy show, writer/ director, Matt Cooper (Perfect Opposites, The Last Supper) gives us set up after set up and joke after joke of men and women pinned against one another, all charged up and in full battle mode. Some japes in this comedy do land better than others but if you don’t take the subject too seriously, the touchdown is a lot less bumpy.

Married couple, Glenn (Passmore) and Jenna (Anders), and seemingly the rest of the town, are having problems in the marital bed. After their son takes a loaded gun to school and accidentally discharges some bullets, Jenna decides to take some of her unspent energy out on a cause. That cause is to rid the town of guns altogether. Glenn is against this and before you know it, the frustrated couple decides on one thing… neither will give in. She talks her girlfriends into helping her take a stand for something she feels is important to her after she learns that guns contribute the most to the death of children… above everything else. She explains that gun violence can end by removing the reason it exists… guns. The women agree and the men aren’t going to have it. So, the fairer sex comes up with the one thing that’s sure to break the men… they’ll close their legs until the guns are gone.

When the men hold up surprisingly well and are still not giving in, the women decide to turn up the heat. This is also when Cooper turns up the funny. These gals play some dirty tricks on these unsuspecting lads. I’ll let you discover those when you watch the film. As the title alone might suggest, there are some really fun moments that will hook you into the lampoonery you’ll find in Is That a Gun in Your Pocket?; like the revelation of a vibrator thought to have been a candlestick, a man crying because his ak47 is painted pink and the men wishing the women would have had a talking strike instead of a sex strike.

It’s slow to get going at first but hang in there. Laughing at jokes aimed at your sex, whether you think they’re completely accurate or not, is healthy. If you can do that you’re going to be entertained. There’s some really funny dialogue delivered by Cloris Leachman’s character, as well, such as suggesting that, ‘There is nothing more powerful than p*ssy.’ But her dirty old lady was a bit overused. Had she said only a few filthy things, I believe the declaration of that particular line would have had a much bigger impact. That said, when Horatio Sanz says, ‘Hell hath no fury like a Latina scorned,’ I hope you don’t have a drink in your mouth. My suggestion is to see this crazy little movie and don’t worry so much about the politics mentioned within. Whether you agree with the stance within or not you’ll laugh if you let yourself. You’ll like the characters once you get to know them and you’ll want to see where the story is leading. You truly care for them and what they’re standing up for and it’s also hard not to like this wonderful cast; there’s hardly a name you won’t recognize.

Odd Brodsky Indie Film Movie Review

April 5, 2017 (updated April 7, 2017) Published by Shari K. Green

Everyone knows independent film is where it’s at these days. You can’t argue the facts. Their creators aren’t inhibited like filmmakers working on big budget films. They have all creative control over their art. If you want something unique, indie has the pickle for your palette.

Today, are you looking for an interesting indie film that can give you a good chuckle? If ‘yes’, then I have the perfect film for you to add to your list of must-sees. Odd Brodsky. It’s… odd… and that’s its charm.

It’s not impossible to believe that every single one of us has found ourselves in a situation where we feel a little out of place; a bit uncomfortable where we stand or who we are surrounded by at a given moment. Oftentimes we are facing a position that doesn’t give us the level of comfort we’d prefer to have and we’re troubled by that. Well, imagine this is the norm in your life; that this IS your life. Meet Audrey “Odd” Brodsky, the spirit for which filmmaker Cindy Baer introduces you to such an existence.

Odd Brodsky is a comedic story loosely inspired by some of Baer’s own journeys on this planet, and if you’re a filmmaker you’ll especially appreciate the whimsical musings of these familiar attempts at making it in the business.”

Aud… Odd is a woman who has made it her life’s work not to fit in and has accepted her fate… or has she? In what feels like a one hour and thirty-three minute SNL skit, Odd and her gang of friends are trying their best to make something of themselves.

Working in Hollywood and being an actress seems to not only be Odd’s passion but also the only thing with which she excels, ‘Acting makes me braver than I really am.’

Audrey’s friend Sammy is producing a play that gives writers Baer and Matthew Irving an opportunity to bring on the silly. For instance, when Sammy is looking for a particular actor to be on stage who is playing the part of God in her stage show Hell is Here, she shouts for him, and the way this whole scene plays out… I almost choked on my chips. It’s hysterical.

Now thinking maybe behind the scenes is best for her, Odd decides to produce a reality show. Again with the laughs… of using scenes to their fullest; labeling people such as Photolab guy and Camera One. It’s great! Odd moves from building to building and as she moves back and forth, painted on the wall, literally on the wall, are the paths she’s choosing. The symbolism is great fun. Very clever.

Tegan Ashton Cohan is so wonderful as Audrey, and with her, Camera One, is perfectly cast. Matthew Kevin Anderson shows the perfect emotion for what he’s going through and the feelings he’s starting to have for Odd. Grand kudos goes to Baer for handling the role of Sammy and keeping her fellow actors in mind at the same time. She handled this set well and it is abundantly clear that she has the product to prove she… made it.

Warning to you, however. You’ll want to find Cindy Baer and give her a big hug after watching this movie, because not only did she entertain you, but you can’t help but wonder how much of this is reality and how much pressure had she truly felt deep down growing up? Did her family support her? Well, if they didn’t, she proves them wrong with this winning film. Not only that, she makes fun of it so you know that if the pain was there… it certainly isn’t now.

Impressive job, Cindy Baer! Genuinely delightful film. I cannot wait to see what you, even Audrey, has in store for us next… until then, may I borrow Camera One?

Here are VOD links for you to watch Odd Brodsky!

The Boss Baby Movie Review

April 2, 2017 (updated June 13, 2017) Published by Shari K. Green

Boss Baby is a new spin on the old tale of sibling rivalry. DreamWorks starts this little story off by telling us of the life of one Tim Templeton. The grown up Tim and narrator for the film, Toby Maguire, recants for us his childhood. Tim spends his days in an incredibly vivid dream world where he may see a tent as a spaceship or a wagon as a police car, you know, that sort of thing. Being an only child, he has his parent’s (voiced by Jimmy Kimmel and Lisa Kudrow), undivided attention, particularly at bedtime when they tuck him in, read him some bedtime stories and sing him to sleep. His life is perfect. Perfect until the moment his baby brother (Baldwin) arrives, who proceeds to then ruin everything. The baby has started taking over Tim’s once happy life. His idyllic world begins to crumble as time with his parents slips away and even his precious bedtime stories and songs get cut down to a simple goodnight. Boss Baby, as babies need love and attention, is seen, by Tim, as ruling over his parents and about to take them from him completely.

Keeping in mind that he has the most colorful imagination ever, his parents’ new offspring is a baby who speaks with a boorish attitude, dresses from head to toe in black and carries a briefcase. He isn’t just a baby… he is up to something. Tim, who is immediately suspicious of the baby, sees right away that the child is up to no good when he overhears him speaking on his toy phone to Baby Corp. Tim may know this now, but how to prove it?
Play dates become meetings that Boss Baby hosts. He and his cohorts are from Baby Corp which is where babies come from. Babies run down a conveyor belt and are routed to families who eagerly await their newborn. Every now and again, a baby will be tagged to work in the head office, and Boss Baby is one of those special few. He has now infiltrated Tim’s family because of where his parents work, Puppy Co.
Baby Corp is losing the market on love to puppies and Puppy Co’s Francis Francis (Buscemi), who holds a long-time grudge against Baby Corp, is about to do something that will change the ‘puppy love versus love for a baby’ game forever. Boss Baby lets Tim know the whole truth and now they must work together to stop Francis Francis. Boss Baby promises that once the task is accomplished, he’ll move up to Baby Corp, get his own corner office and be out of Tim’s hair forever.

There’s a lot of cute here. It’s amusing the way we see things getting fast and furious for Tim with Boss Baby and his gang and then we cut to the point of view of the parents and everything is at a normal pace and fine. I always appreciate the type of humor in animated films that execute a good balancing act of G and PG to be smart in thinking of its entire audience.

Everyone in the family will like Boss Baby for what is aimed at them. Everything appears to be meant for kids but the true humor soars over their heads and strikes the intended target directly; the parents. That is always clever. There are a lot of resourceful, imaginative and fun ideas put to use here. It’s a good cast and the animation is delightful. Some moments are a bit over the top or weren’t ever necessary but in the end, it pretty well evens out. See it at the theatre if you can.

Going In Style Soundtrack Available Today!

March 31, 2017 (updated March 31, 2017) Published by Shari K. Green

GOING IN STYLE SOUNDTRACK AVAILABLE MARCH 31

SOUNDTRACK HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE

A NEW DUET SUNG BY ALAN ARKIN & ANN-MARGRET

PLUS A NEW JAMIE CULLUM SONG

FEATURES SCORE BY ROB SIMONSEN

(MARCH 31, 2017 – Los Angeles, CA) – WaterTower Music today announced the March 31 release date of the soundtrack to Going In Style, the new comedy that teams up Oscar winners Morgan Freeman (“Million Dollar Baby”), Michael Caine (“The Cider House Rules,” “Hannah and Her Sisters”) and Alan Arkin (“Little Miss Sunshine”), and is in theatres nationwide April 7th.

The soundtrack was produced by Going in Style director Zach Braff, who explained his philosophy about the music. “What I wanted to do with this soundtrack was have a mix of music that the characters might listen to; and I also wanted a mix of the sounds of the city, since it takes place in Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan.” The soundtrack features the film’s stars Alan Arkin and Ann-Margret singing on their newly recorded duet, “Hallelujah I Love Her So,” and Jamie Cullum’s new rendition of “Hey, Look Me Over,” along with a fun and eclectic mix of songs from the film. Dean Martin, Otis Redding, Dinah Washington, Sonny Rollins, and Sam Cooke classics are co-mingled seamlessly with music from A Tribe Called Quest and Mark Ronson featuring Mystikal.

LISTEN: “Hallelujiah I Love Her So” performed by Alan Arkin and Ann-Margret

LISTEN: “Hey Look Me Over” performed by Jamie Cullum

LISTEN: “FBI Closes In” composed by Rom Simonsen

Composer Rob Simonsen (“Age of Adeline,” “Foxcatcher”), “did this amazing score that was full of heart, melody, and action,” explains Braff. Simonsen, who previously worked with Braff on “Wish I Was Here,” has seven of his compositions from the film included on the soundtrack. “Zach is quite talented when it comes to using music and songs in films, always driving at the right emotion,” says the composer. “So it was exciting to get a chance to create a big, fun score for Going in Style. We worked hard to do something that was modern, with a slight nod to some of the great, jazzy heist scores of the ‘60s and ‘70s. We hope you enjoy listening and watching as much as we did creating it.”

The Going In Style soundtrack is now available, and the track list is as follows:

1.“Memories Are Made Of This” – Dean Martin
2. “St. Thomas” – Sonny Rollins

ABOUT ROB SIMONSEN – Composer Rob Simonsen has had a thread in the fabric of some of the most noteworthy and prestigious films of the past decade. He spanned an eternity of star-crossed romance with “The Age of Adaline,” starring Blake Lively and Harrison Ford, also co-writing the film’s end credits song. He collaborated with director Bennett Miller to underline the unsettling atmosphere of the Oscar-nominated drama “Foxcatcher”; scored the Steve Carell-starring dramedy “The Way Way Back” with sensitivity; sympathized with the coming-of-age “The Spectacular Now”; delved deep into the controversial 1969 Stonewall riots musically with Roland Emmerich’s political drama “Stonewall”; sweetened Zach Braff’s coming-of-middle-age film “Wish I Was Here”; and spiced things up with Bradley Cooper’s “Burnt,” directed by John Wells. His work in television includes the CBS comedy “Life In Pieces,” the Joss Whedon Fox drama “Dollhouse,” and the CBS ratings juggernaut “Blue Bloods,” led by Tom Selleck.

Simonsen recently completed the action thriller “Nerve,” starring Emma Roberts and Dave Franco; the comedy “The Master Cleanse”; and “Viral” from Blumhouse Productions. His upcoming projects include the comedy “Bastards,” directed by Lawrence Sher, and the drama “Gifted,” directed by Marc Webb.

Prior to flying solo, under the apprenticeship of composer Mychael Danna, Simonsen contributed additional music to the scores for Ang Lee’s “Life of Pi,” which won an Oscar for Best Score, and Bennett Miller’s “Moneyball,” Oscar-nominated for Best Picture – as well as Catherine Hardwick’s “The Nativity Story,” the animated film “Surf’s Up,” and Terry Gilliam’s“The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.” With Danna he co-composed the score for Marc Webb’s hugely popular indie romance “(500) Days of Summer.”

Simonsen’s compositional voice is the product of an education in both rock and traditional orchestral music. He co-founded The Echo Society, a collective that provides a platform for composers to experiment and create for live performances around Los Angeles.

Wilson Movie Review

March 29, 2017 (updated March 29, 2017) Published by JMcNaughton

“Wilson” is an oddball of a movie, with very wide variations in tone and style. But with the main title character being playing by Woody Harrelson, it is not all bad. The character of Wilson is a free-spirited and determined guy, who tells what he sees as the truth. He has no filter or very many social skills. That is why he comes off as a rude and uncouth person to most everyone he meets.

Wilson (Harrelson) lives alone except for his dog, Pepper. He was married years ago, but Wilson and wife Pippi (Laura Dern) are divorced. He thinks she is a drug fiend and has never gotten any better. Wilson goes to see his father, but he is dying, and Wilson gets more upset with the world. When he comes back home, he hears that Pippi is back in town.

Wilson picks up his dog Pepper from the lady who took care of his dog while he was gone. Shelly (Judy Greer) lets Wilson know that she is always willing to take Pepper. Wilson goes to the place where Pippi is working. But his abrupt rudeness gets Pippi fired, so now Pippi stays with Wilson. She lets him know that years ago, when she left, she kept the baby. Wilson is shocked to hear that he has a daughter that was given up for adoption and has never met.

Wilson and Pippi go stalking on the teenage girl named Claire (Isabella Amara). They get introduced and they all spend some time with each other. Pippi gets invited over visit her sister Polly (Cheryl Hines). Polly was always the perfect one in the family, and now Wilson and Pippi convince Claire that she would be welcome as their ‘daughter’. Claire lies to her adopted parents as to where she is going to be for the weekend.

The homecoming and visit with Polly does not turn out very well for any of them. Claire’s parents find out that she is with Wilson and Pippi, and they say she was kidnapped. Polly gets the police involved and they arrest Wilson and Pippi. Wilson winds up in prison for long stretch. He is able to make enemies of the white supremacists and the Christian faith group. What a guy…

He eventually gets out and finds that he has lost Pippi and his dog Pepper. Shelly considers Wilson a sad soul who needs a friend, so she takes him in. It is a couple of years later and now Claire is older and can do what she wants. She was important in the case against Wilson earlier, but she was forced by her adopted parents to go against him.

Claire is about to move away and she will have a baby. Wilson still thinks he can be a part in her life, but she says no to that idea. Shelly and Wilson work out any differences and try to make the best of things. The story allows you to speculate on the future of the two of them.

Woody Harrelson plays his heart out to make you like this unlikable character. Wilson can be a total dick, yet he never sees how much of pain that he is in people’s lives. Laura Dern is a great addition to any move, and her she makes the best of a thin role. Her character is never given much in the way of any development or any growth, but Dern plays her with an honest sincerity.

Judy Greer and Cheryl Hines also get no real character development, and not a whole lot to do. They both could use a little better and more thought-out dialog on the screen. Isabella Amara as Claire does a nice job doing a role of typical angst-ridden teenager. She takes her plus-size weight and throws it into the basis on her character, and why she does not ‘fit in’.

If you are a total fan of Woody Harrelson, then this movie is for you. If you also have a soft spot for Laura Dern, then movie would be a fine recommendation. However, if you want characters that are not dripping with quirky sarcasm, then a different movie might be better for you. It takes the saying “To have a friend, you need to be a friend”, and it throws that away. Wilson has no friends, so you might not be one either…

Johnny Depp returns to the big screen as the iconic, swashbuckling anti-hero Jack Sparrow in the all-new “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.” The rip-roaring adventure finds down-on-his-luck Captain Jack feeling the winds of ill-fortune blowing strongly his way when deadly ghost sailors, led by the terrifying Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem), escape from the Devil’s Triangle bent on killing every pirate at sea—notably Jack. Jack’s only hope of survival lies in the legendary Trident of Poseidon, but to find it he must forge an uneasy alliance with Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario), a brilliant and beautiful astronomer, and Henry (Brenton Thwaites), a headstrong young sailor in the Royal Navy. At the helm of the Dying Gull, his pitifully small and shabby ship, Captain Jack seeks not only to reverse his recent spate of ill fortune, but to save his very life from the most formidable and malicious foe he has ever faced.

Admittance into a screening or event is not guaranteed with your pass. Events and advance screenings are filled on a ” first come, first served ” basis. To ensure that you stand a good chance of being admitted, we recommend that you show up 30 minutes to one hour early.

The number of admissions that are permissible for each pass are printed clearly on the ticket that you print out. You are allowed to bring as many guests as is indicated on your pass. For example, if your pass is for ” Admit Two, ” you can bring yourself and one guest. If you have an ” Admit One ” pass, you can bring only yourself.

If you have any other questions or comments, please contact us.
