Yes.
There are one of a kind movie-going experiences and then there are one of a kind movie-going experiences… this is the latter.
Should I Go See It?
You Ask. I Answer.
Filed under R …
Warrior
Yes.
Not only are there plenty of thrills (as you’d expect from a movie centered around mixed martial arts) but also some damn good storytelling and performances.
The Debt
Yes.
Helen Mirren and Tom Wilkinson have top billing in this time period jumping thriller about a Nazi hunting mission gone awry, but it’s Jesper Christensen as the eerie villain who is the real star here and worth watching for.
Final Destination 5
No.
As with its predecessors, the truly horrific deaths are creative and fun but they are held together by laughable acting and a decade old storyline.
Fright Night
No.
Colin Farrell owns the screen when given the opportunity, but instead of playing to his strengths and focusing on suspense, the film spends too much time fixated on the zaniness that usually accompanies the last few minutes of a vampire flick.
The Change-Up
No.
The bulk of the laughs (read: all) come from Bateman acting out Reynolds’ over-the-top persona… while the rest of the film fluctuates between painfully generic and melodramatic.
Friends With Benefits
Yes.
While the script tries to do too much and falls into some of the same tropes as the rom-coms it decries, the chemistry of the stars is undeniable and the level of humor is a cut above most in the genre.
Horrible Bosses
Yes.
The chemistry of the leads is comic gold, making the performances and semi-improvised dialogue well worth a watch.
The Hangover Part II
No.
Because this movie uses not only the same characters in the same situation with the same plotting, but also uses many of the same jokes, it makes no compelling argument for its own existence.
