Incredibles 2

-



    The day has finally come, after a nearly fourteen year wait, we now get to see if it can hold up to one of the most highly respected Pixar movies ever?
   The movie picks up right where the last one left off, with the family going head to head with the Underminer.  This fight catches the attention of Winston and Evelyn Deavor (Bob Odenkirk and Catherine Keener). Their goal is to bring all of the supers out of hiding and back to saving people. They believe the best way to do that is to get Elastigirl (Holly Hunter) out saving people, building good rapport with the community.
     On the flip side, Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson)  is left at home, with the kids. He finds out, raising the kids is just as draining as crimefighting.
   This movie has something strange, One of my points is a negative and positive at the same time. The littlest Parr, jack-jack, carries this film. Personally, this character has  every single laugh in this movie. Without Jack, this movie, could not stay afloat.
    My biggest disappointment out of the film, was the fact that this movie took as long as it did to make how strikingly similar to the original story this film was similar to the original. With that being the case, why did  it take so long to get a new one? Even saying that, as bad as it is to recycle plot from an original film, it did not feel as old as it could have.
   There was something , I will admit, that was pointed out to me by a friend, after we had finished the film. If you watch Elastigirl when she is not in her super suit, is animated beautifully. When she is in the suit, she is more twisted, especially in the way of her back and legs.
 When it comes to movies that have long waited sequels, they don't always come out the best. This is one of those exceptions.

Unfriended: Dark Web

    I would be the first to admit, when the original "Unfriended" dropped in 2014, I was not expecting to enjoy it. I was pleasantly surprised with what I saw. I always thought though, there is no need to make a sequel. Alas.. we fast forward to 2018, and there is a sequel.     The story revolves around Matias, who finds a great laptop, in his local internet cafe's lost and found. Since it has been there for weeks, he takes it. Later that night, while playing a game night over Skype, he begins to discover some terrible things.    One of the problems that plagued both of the films was the acting. In most of these cases, the actors from these films, do not have a lot of experience. It unfortunately, caries over to this film. When the story got to the climax, the line delivery got a little rough.    What really worked for the first one, was essentially, everyone was a terrible person. As the story progresses, you find out the terrible things t...

Triple 9

     When it comes to cop films, for the most part, I tend to be a huge fan. When this came out, I was not very sure what to expect from it because there was such little press for it.     A professional group of thieves lead by Michael Atwood (Chiwetel Ejiofor) does the biding of Irina Vlaslov ( Kate Winslet). The guys want out of her buiding, but her being a big player in the Russian mafia, she gets what she wants. She drags the crew into a final heist with a huge payoff, what could possibly go wrong?        The biggest thing that hurt this film was the scope was so huge for this film with how many characters it has. It is hard to care or, for that matter get to know any Of the characters when the time spent with them is so short. On top of that, this film does not go in any new directions for the crime thrillers. I feel like if they may have added twenty to thirty minutes to get to know all the characters it may have added an edge it do...

The Ridiculous Six

   The Ridiculous Six is the start of the long contract that Adam Sandler signed with Netflix. It comes in the form of the spoof of the classic Magnificent 7.      In the story it surrounds White Knife (Adam Sandler) and his seemingly perfect life with the apache tribe. Things get a little messy when his long absent father (Nick Nolte) shows up and is subsequently kidnapped. Fifty thousand dollars is needed to set him free, so White Knife takes it upon himself to rob the terrible people of the West to get his father back. Along the way he finds out that he has many other brothers in the shape of Taylor Lautner, Terry Crews, Rob Schneider, Jorge Garcia, and Luke Wilson.      Through most of the later of Sandler's Carter you could at least count on his movies being entertaining. This film seemed choppy in places when it came to the story. None of the jokes seemed to really work. It's hard to say but Sandler has done so much better even in recent...
