Wicked
Misunderstood because of her green skin, a young woman named Elphaba forges an unlikely but profound friendship with Glinda, a student with an unflinching desire for popularity. Following an encounter with the Wizard of Oz, their relationship soon reaches a crossroad as their lives begin to take very different paths.
I loved this show and was pretty skeptical about seeing it turned into a movie. It was also massively and excessively marketed that I was afraid I would be disappointed by it just because. I was dead wrong on both accounts. This movie was AMAZING and could easily be one of if not the best musical turned into a movie . . . . well at least the first part of a musical at least. The casting was perfect, the singing amazing and it somehow did not bother me that part 1 of the movie was longer than the entire broadway show. That is very impressive.
I would definitely recommend people checking this out. It was an amazing watch and easily one of the best movies of the year even after all the hype/marketing.
Gladiator II
Years after witnessing the death of Maximus at the hands of his uncle, Lucius must enter the Colosseum after the powerful emperors of Rome conquer his home. With rage in his heart and the future of the empire at stake, he looks to the past to find the strength and honor needed to return the glory of Rome to its people.
When I first heard about this movie I thought that it was total desperation to go back to the well 25 years later but they actually pulled it off excellently. They did it in a way that actually made it make sense for the large time gap. Only two knocks I could make against the movie iis that maybe they should have made Connie NIelson age like a day or so since it's been 24 years. Also - maybe Denzel Washington could have attempted to try like a slight Roman accent? Just seemed kind of out of place. But outside of those two things the story was great, the acting was great (especially the one goofy twin emperor that stole every scene he was in) and the action was awesome.
I would definitely recommend that people check this movie out. It was a very enjoyable epic movie just like the original. Very pleasant surprise!
Red One
When a villain kidnaps Santa Claus from the North Pole, an E.L.F. (Extremely Large and Formidable) operative joins forces with the world's most accomplished tracker to find him and save Christmas.
Anora
Anora, a sex worker from Brooklyn, gets her chance at a Cinderella story when she meets and marries the son of an oligarch. Once the news reaches Russia, her fairytale is threatened as the parents set out for New York to get the marriage annulled.
Heretic
Two young missionaries become ensnared in a deadly game of cat and mouse when they knock on the door of the diabolical Mr. Reed. Trapped in his home, they must turn to their faith if they want to make it out alive.
This movie was boring as hell. The trailer actually made it look kind of cool and creepy but none of that stuff really happened until the last 20-30 minutes. Prior to that it was like 90 minutes of religious convos all theological and philosophical. I nodded off like 4 times trying very hard to stay interested and it just was not happening.
I would not recommend anyone bothering with this. Especially not if you were interested in watching based on the trailer. That was complete false advertising basically. LOL
Absolution
An ageing gangster tries to reconnect with his family and fix the mistakes from the past, but his criminal lifestyle soon threatens to destroy everything he holds dear.
Here
Multiple generations of couples and families inhabit the same home over the course of a century.
Um . . . . . this was a good premise . . . . . . for like a museum exhibit. Like the filming of the same room no matter what through all those years and different times/families was a cool idea and I enjoyed the filming style that it created. But like outside of that it was just a blatant series of heartstring pulls. Like this would have been a much better 15-20 minute exhibit at a museum but did not remotely have the legs to be a quality movie.
I would not really recommend anyone bothering with this. It's not bad but it's really not too much more than an interesting filmmaking premise. Very much lacking substance.
