Stellar and Interstellar Fall Films




JOHN WICK
ACTION/THRILLER

PLOT: Ex-hitman comes out of retirement to take out people who wronged him.

                John Wick (played by Keanu Reeves) lives an ordinary life, has a cute puppy and an antique car.   Iosef Tarasov, a spoiled son of a Russian gangster wants to buy his car but the car is not for sale.  Iosef and his buddies give Wick a beat down and kill his dog.  Big mistake.  His father Viggo Tarasov tells his son that Wick is the best hitman in the business and has do deal with him.  You have seen this story a thousand times but action hounds will love it!! Other stars in the movie , action babe Adrianne Palicki (G.I. Joe Retaliation) and Avi (Dean Winters), second in command. He has done a lot of movies and TV shows but he is best remember as the All State  commercials guy named Mayhem and Lance Reddick (Fringe).  You like action and body count this is your film.

INTERSTELLAR
SCI-FI/DRAMA

PLOT:  In the future astronauts must find another planet than Earth to live.

                First of all Christopher Nolan is not a straight forward director!!  The Batman Trilogy is the only one I know he did do straight forward.  He throws curves and experimental things in his pictures so be warned.  The second thing the movie is long 2hours and 69 minutes about an astronaut Matthew McConaughey along with others to find another planet to live on other than Earth.  He has two children but he bonds with his daughter and he is determined to do it for her.  That is a plus for the film, their relationship.  The special effects are dazzling but if you don’t hear everything you’re not supposed to.  This IS a Christopher Nolan film remember.  If you like his movies go but if not wait until video for you want to see  it repeatedly to truly understand it.

BIG HERO SIX
ANIMATED/SCI-FI

PLOT: In the future a genius makes a cuddly assistant robot.

                This is a cute film about a group of smart kids who end up as superheroes.  You have seen it all before with stock character and all but it is done very well.  There is drama, comedy, action.  The computer animated films seem to have all these elements for than live action.  You will enjoy this if you a kid or a big kid!!!
