Admission

I like the actors in previous things but this movie just sucks.  Sorry.  The backdrop of the film, Princeton, the number 2 in the school is looking to reject more students to retake the number one spot, which only heightens your desire to turn this movie off.  The only interesting thing about the film is knowing it is extremely hard to get into Princeton or any other Ivy League school.  But if you knew this fact than you won't need to see this movie.

Bullet to the Head

Have you seen "Get Carter" well this could be considered the sequel taking place in some City in Louisiana or some city with lots of crime boys with a buffer Stalone.  The only good thing about this movie is Stalone's desire and hope to kill everyone without any remorse.  If you've seen "Get Carter" you good not seeing this.

Two kids who live on the river in the backwoods of Louisiana find a boat in a tree washed up there from the last flood season.  The problem with this awesome new tree house is someone has found it ahead of them.  Enter Matthew McConaughey with some pretty fucked up teeth on the run from the law.  They make a deal to help him rebuild his boat and get the hottest girl in the town Reese Witherspoon to make a run for it.  Except his girlfriend really is a ho who uses McConaughey and abuses his love for her.  The beauty of this film is not the strength of the adults in the film, but rather the young boy Ellis played by Ty Sheriden who shows he is worthy of the role.  The movie's deeper layer is the concept of integrity how it is important to have it.  Plus Ellis's best friend has the best handle I've ever heard "NECK BONE".  The characters show inner morals and possibilities of being more than nature has given them.  A good film to see but owning it might be going to far.   

Olympus Has Fallen

So the White House is taken over by the North Koreans and they are here to stay.  The execution of the plan to take over the White House is awesome to watch and frightening at the same time as the amount of fire power to hijack the president is astounding if the movie has any stake in reality.  I knew the man was protected but god damn!  Now that the White House is taken it's King Leonidas to be Officer John McClane taking on the bad guys who by chance plan on pretending to blow themselves up as they make a run for it.  The only problem is the lack of memorable tag lines throughout the film.  A fun time but only as a rental.

So everyone knows Jackie Robinson was the first non-white man in baseball.  What this movie does is explain how Jackie Robinson dealt with the hatred of America and the people who not only rooted for him but gave him hope in his darkest moments.  It's interesting in how Brian Helgeland shows these moments not with big name stars or long moments, they are short and quick as everyday people who come out of the hatred to thank Chadwick Boseman.  These moments are the true inspiration for they show us are greatest heroes are able to fall, but because of the people they surround themselves with to support them they are able to achieve the place in history that forever change our world.  It's worth owning. 

Elysium

Yep, it's Matt Damon kicking ass and taking names.  As always Matt Damon did great and the rest of the film is a great montage on the disparity between the rich and the poor.  And how eventually the greatest fear of the rich will come true.  Someone will come in and take all their fancy stuff away.  Like all movies in this category watching it at home on your big screen and surround sound is the way to go.  With all the movies you need to see this is something you will enjoy at home.
