Movie Guru's Current Movie Briefs

• Am I Racist?
  

  A documentary or a fictionalized documentary? That is the question. I will let you be surprised by what seems to be a witty movie about what it means to be racist in America. The funny thing is that most of us know it when we see it.
• Killer’s Game
  

  David Bautista as a professional killer who weaves an intricate plot to pay back the killing company’s executives who have recently backstabbed him. Sounds good to me. And maybe Bautista’s previous wooden but passable performances will work like it does in Guardians of the Galaxy. Fingers crossed.
• Speak No Evil
  

  James McAvoy is so creepy in the trailer that I want to throw this movie into the dustbin already. Hopefully it does not come close to Blink Twice for revolting moments that will stick with you forever. However the closeup shot of the little boy unable to speak and points to his missing tongue with a slashing motion is enough to send me to the bathroom. We know how this will go down. Just like Blink Twice we will suffer for two hours until the impossible happy ending that means nothing.
• Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
  

  Thirty six years later the sequel comes to theaters, most importantly filmed by the original directorial genius Tim Burton. Sadly Burton has been in a fallow period for decades, no longer breaking new ground with the likes of Pee Wee Herman’s Big Adventure, Edward Scissorhands, Batman with Jack Nicholson.s Joker, and Nightmare Before Christmas. What do I expect from this possible return to greatness for Burton. Probably a box office success and a return to glory days. Or maybe fans will be sorry that he took this route with a sequel instead of something original. Either way it is a must see.
• 1992
  

  Tyrese Gibson and Ray Liotta (deceased) in what seems to be a robbery action family drama. It will be interesting to see if the movie successfully combines the two.
• Blink Twice
  

  No wonder people of faith the world over despise Hollywood. Zoe Kravitz, an excellent actress, wrote and directed this moral failure starring her significant other Channing Tatum. Hopefully this short and spoiler filled plot summary will protect you from considering this movie in theaters or via streaming. A rich guy brings a group of single young ladies to join his friends on his secluded luxury island. Each night they rape and sodomize and slice open the necks of various of the female guests after spraying them with a forget everything perfume that erases their memories of the previous night’s debaucheries. Then the remaining two heroines turn the tables and Django Chained- like violently massacre all the males except Channing Tatum who the bigger star of the two survivors marries.There was absolutely no excuse for a distributor financing this script and distributing the finished film worldwide. And the agents involved should take some of the blame as well.
• Reagan
  

  Dennis Quaid as President Ronald Reagan. Quaid is a good choice, and the previews look appropriately reverential. Enough said.
• Alien: Romulus
  

  If you are a sci fi horror fan, you have probably watched several Alien films. The first is the best. The second, still with Sigourney Weaver, is second best. After those two, Alien sequels have been disappointments. The good news is I noticed Ridley Scott’s name somewhere in the trailers for this one. And our XD theater is ready to pump out superior presentation which increases the pleasure of watching big budget action flicks.
• It Ends With Us
  

  Based on a best selling book whose fans have been turning out for all the early screenings, this film about domestic abuse seems to be a winner. Blake Lively is the woman in trouble. I wish it the greatest success..
• Harold and the Purple Crayon
  

  Written by summer intern Michael Harris. Harold and the Purple Crayon is a well known book almost seventy years old. It only makes sense that a movie was made about it given the creativity drought in today’s animation industry. The ironic part of the Harold and the Purple Crayon movie is that it is full of creativity. The problem is the film is all over the place and does not always add up. Mixed with its unrealistic dialogue, and its plot weighing too much into everything then magically working out, this is not a movie I would pay to see. It is ultimately your choice, but I would recommend giving it a pass.
• Trap
  

  The second Shyamalan family release this summer, the first by his daughter Ishana, The Watchers, which pretty much flopped, but I sort of enjoyed it. Very Shyamalan like. The second by M Night Shyamalan, this one called Trap, looks very interesting. A serial sadist killer playing the loving Daddy while holding a torture victim in a basement takes his daughter to a concert where he finds a trap set to catch him as he exits. And let the cat and mouse game begin.
• Deadpool and Wolverine
  

  Written by second summer intern Jake Gaughan. Deadpool and Wolverine was fan service and nostalgia bait at its finest but more than anything it was a lot of fun! Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are playing the roles they were born to in this movie and they are at their best here. It’s the first Marvel movie to release in a long time that I have wanted to watch again. I watched it in XD and it was well worth the extra few bucks!
• Deadpool and Wolverine
  

  Warning. If you are old and prone to fall asleep in front of screens, please be aware that the bottom two rows of seats nearest the screen in the XD theaters recline all the way. They are the only two rows that function that way. At the first showtime of Deadpool and Wolverine, the theater was filled. I was forced to sit in the second row. I reclined all the way. I made it through the many previews and commercials. I watched the creative opening and an exciting and bloody and fun 20 minutes. Next I knew I woke up having missed a bunch of what I assume was great stuff. Thank goodness a summer intern is watching the movie tonight. I look forward to reading his brief.
• Twisters
  

  Written by summer intern Michael Harris. I do not know what I feel about remakes. Sure, you know that the movie will be good, but it takes the creativity out of Hollywood. Well, at least that was what I thought before seeing this movie. Twisters was the first movie to pull me to the edge of my movie seat in a long time. It is a well done tribute to the original 1996 Twister with some notable references and a similar plot. The main difference is instead of collecting data about twisters, the storm chasers try to stop them. With constant danger and adventure lurking in every cloud, this is the storm you will not want to miss seeing on the Southpoint’s XD screens.
• Twisters
  

  This looks like a winner. As horrible as weather has become, and as many people are suffering from climate change, we still are hooked by live feeds from tornados, hurricanes, tsunamis, heat domes, flooding, and the like. I loved Twister and Twisters should be double the fun. XD presentation is worth the extra $3 bucks. And it can’t hurt to go home and watch the original Twister and play the which is better game.
• Fly Me To The Moon
  

  Written by summer intern Michael Harris. Based on a true story… maybe? Fly Me to the Moon confronts the greatest conspiracy of all of mankind; was the moon landing fake? Watch as a sly, advertiser and pathological liar with a past to hide meets an honest, by the book launch director who is haunted by his mistakes in this romance-drama. Kelly Jones, played by Scarlett Johansson, and Cole Davis, played by Channing Tatum fall in love as their morals clash during America’s most monumental feat: putting man on the moon. As always, make sure to see this out of this world film on the big screen.
• Longlegs
  

  I have not been following this latest Nick Cage theater release. What is amazing is that movie stars are making direct to video big buck releases, while Mr. Cage seeks out deserving independent productions and infuses them with terrific performances. In a recent interview he chose “Pig” as his best performance. The title turned me off, but I will be streaming it this weekend. If you have the time and want to watch a fun under the radar Nick Cage flick, check out Retirement Plan.
• Despicable Me 4
  

  Written by summer intern Michael Harris. Despicable Me 4 is an expected yet welcome addition to the Despicable Me/Minions franchise. After Despicable Me 3 changed the dynamic of the franchise from a more character development based movie to a more comedic and action based film, Illumination has been walking on a tightrope, careful not to lean too much on either theme. It is looking like this movie will take the best parts of both themes to breathe new life into this old franchise. From new characters to the unique humour the minions always carry, Despicable Me 4 is the one movie your children will want to see this summer on the big screen (not counting In and Out 2).
• Inside Out 2
  

  Written by summer intern Michael Harris. Finally, a movie to drag Disney out of the hole it dug through its recent yet under performing movies. Inside Out 2 adds depth to an animated movie like never before, but is still entertaining for your kids. From the complexity of puberty to an ironic allusion to Mickey Mouse, this is the one children’s movie both you and your children will enjoy. To truly feel the most emotion from this movie, make sure to watch it in our South Point XD theatres.
• Bad Boys: Ride or Die
  

  Written by summer intern Michael Harris. The bad boys are back so whatcha gonna do? This is the best bad boys movie yet, full of action and comedy and singing from Reba McEntire. Much of the movie is completely unexpected. There are many recurring themes like Martin Lawrence thinking he is invincible leading to great comedy moments, and Will Smith whose panic attacks give depth to the film. This is a must-see movie. And you must see it on our XD screens at the South Point.
