Movie Guru's Movie Briefs

• Movie Brief Reviews
  What we have here are mostly ruminations on movies coming out since I write many of these briefs the day before they are released. (Though in some cases I wait and post these mini-reviews after I have seen the movie.) I believe the less you know about a movie, the better chance you might enjoy it to the upside. Too many reviewers seem to go out of their ways to ruin for you the movie experience with way too much information.
  
  
• Aladdin
  After its purchase of 21st Century Fox Disney is now a distributor juggernaut unseen in our lifetimes. This new Aladdin is a live action with computer generated effects new version of the animated Robin Williams lovable hit. Will Smith is the Genie. No sense comparing him to Robin Williams. The movie is guaranteed to entertain its target audience which is families everywhere. Toy Story 4 is coming out in June. The live action computer generated Lion King remake is coming in July. Good for Disney, making movies that entrall the masses, something that pompous director Joel McCrea learned by the end of the great Preston Sturges' 1941 Sullivan's Travels film co-starring Veronica Lake.
  
  
• Longshot
  It's a comedy. Some people will think it is hysterical. Others will hate it. There is no accounting for comedy taste. Charlize Theron is running for national office. Fish out of water Seth Rogen somehow gets involved in the campaign. I assume at some point they both get stoned out of their minds. I have now seen it. I laughed a lot for 45 minutes. Not bad. Then it became a rom-com, playing it safe the rest of the way. People will enjoy it in both the theater and eventually at home. Charlize Theron is an under-rated actress.
  
  
• John Wick Chatper 3: Parabellum
  After watching the Thursday night pre-opening showing of Trial by Fire, I sat for a bit in John Wick 3. This movie is John Wick on steroids. The fights are beautifully choreographed, as good as any modern dance performed today. The catastrophic final blows delivered to assailants bring out the requisite squeals and squawks from the packed theater. The John Wick series has created an alternate universe equally intricate and exciting as those created for Avatar, Star Wars, or Avengers. Keanu Reeves is insanely electric in this role. This is a must see for B-movie action fans.
  
  
• The Hustle
  Rebel Wilson and Anne Hathaway gender swap the movie roles created by Steve Martin and Michael Caine from the comedy classic Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Please do not mess this up.
  
  
• Breakthrough
  A faith based film about a boy returning to life after an hour in Heaven. Based on a true story, I am always interested in these return from death experiences. I have pretty much ignored everything about this movie so I can watch it fresh and without preconceived notions. If the movie is good, and if there is a book, I will read that afterwards to see if there are any changes from the filmed story. Then on the internet I will read news stories to confirm what I have seen and read. In other words I want to know as much about this subject as possible, though recent reports of dead pigs' brains being brought back to life is a little much for me.
  
  
• Poms
  Diane Keaton leads a team of lady geriatrics into a cheerleading competition and here we go. These senior movies (The Bucket List, Grumpy Old Men, Cocoon, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel are made quite frequently with good success). We can only hope that this latest is good enough to join the list.
  
  
• The Intruder
  Dennis Quaid as the embodiment of evil. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but home invasion movies make me sick. Who needs to have their worst nightmares realized in depraved entertainment. Not me.
  
  
• Captain Marvel
  Could have fooled me that Captain Marvel is a woman. For whatever reasons, I know nothing about this new super hero that is introduced here so that she can save the Avengers in April. Brie Larson as a super hero seems so far fetched to me that I have to expect she will raise the intelligence level of this film. Otherwise why did she take the role. I hope Captain Marvel is a great success following in the Black Panther and Wonder Woman footsteps. The world is changing and hopefully America remains in the lead.
  
  
• Avenger: Endgame
  This is it. After Endgame the Avengers as a team are no more. (Though I doubt that future generations of fans will be deprived of reteamings.) This movie is an example of Made in America know how. Other countries try, but none have ever figured out how to duplicate the international appeal of our blockbusters. It is not spoiling the movie to say there is lots of talk that is only important to fervent fans; they want every last morsel of Avengers lore to be rehashed. But as in all great Hollywood three hour epics, the concluding battle and bittersweet endgames leave you more than satisfied. Like I remember Ben Hur and Godfather and Dances With Wolves, this generation will remember Titanic and Endgame and who knows what is next. I believe that December's Star Wars 9 finale needs to be a three hour epic or it will be less than it should be.
  
  
• A Dog's Journey
  This is a series that dog owners love as much as they love their dogs. Dogs are reincarnated and their human counterparts, in this case Dennis Quaid, get to love them over and over again. I never watched the first A Dog's Purpose, and I will not be watching this latest. I have a dog. What a pain. Real world dogs are another species from movie dogs. My days are spent worrying about Coco's correct food intake, her possible disappearance, her eventual death. The end of your dog's life is as horrible as the death of a family member. And there is no reincarnation. And then eventually you go out and get a replacement dog. By the way, I also have a bird and a fish. It's not the same thank goodness.
  
  
• Trial by Fire
  Laura Dern and Jack O'Connell give masterful performances; she a disoriented divorced mother of two, he a soon to be incarcerated father of three. The movie is a real true story based on a 1991 fire.. The New Yorker investigative journalism piece that brought this case into national view is very worth reading after viewing the film. Not entertainment per se, but an inside look at Texas justice. Take a chance and see this movie either now or later.
