Tacky Fangs, Oscar Noms, and Brave New Them Days


 

THE WOLFMAN

HORROR 

PLOT:  A different version of the classic creature.  A family man’s father dies and he goes to visit the home but is scratched by a werewolf.

WHAT IS RIGHT:  The transformation is Great!  He slowly turns losing humanity in the process.  The acting is good and very creepy in some spots.  I do believe in years to come this will be a classic.

WHAT IS WRONG:  The design of the final werewolf is not so good.  Very disappointing but slightly better than the original design

SHOULD YOU WATCH:  If you are werewolf fan-NO.  It is different than most werewolf movies.  If you like blood and guts-this is NOT the movie for you either.


ONE OF THEM DAYS

COMEDY 

PLOT:   Dreux and Alyssa live together and the rent is due.  The two black women go through misadventures to pay the rent before time is up!

WHAT IS RIGHT:  Keke Palmer and singer Sza are great as good friends finding zany ways to get money. The rest of the cast is very amusing.

WHAT IS WRONG:  There are A LOT of black stereotypes!

SHOULD YOU WATCH:  YES.  It is very funny but it is very urban comedy.


CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD

SUPERHERO/ACTION/ADVENTURE 

PLOT:   Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) is now the new Captain America and he has deal with President Thaddeus Ross to create another Avengers Team.

WHAT IS GOOD:  The cast!  Anthony Mackie is great as Sam Wilson who has doubts he can’t be like Steve Rogers.  Joaquin Torres (Danny Ramirez) is good as Falcon.  He is funny but very smart.  Carl Lumby is fantastic as Isaiah Bradley who was a super solider who was imprisoned for 30 years and finally gets out.  Harrison Ford is very good as President Thaddeus Ross who is hiding something.  The action is also outstanding.

WHAT IS BAD:   The villain is okay not great.  Minor spoiler:  The Red Hulk is in the movie he and makes it count but very brief!   All the money for the reshoots and delays it should be slightly better but it is not terrible.

SHOULD YOU WATCH: YES!  It is stage one for Avengers 2.0 and I am hoping it will be fantastic!  The acting, the action is worth it.


PADDINGTON IN PERU

COMEDY/ADVENTURE 

PLOT:  Paddington must find Aunt Lucy who is missing and his human family The Browns help him find her.

WHAT IS GOOD:  The cast is fun to watch. The villains of Paddington series are amazing.  This time around is Olivia Colman as Reverend Mother who is bubbly but very bad.  Antonio Banderas is charming but devious as Hunter Cabot.

WHAT IS BAD:  Not as good as the last movie.

SHOULD YOU WATCH:  OH YES!  Paddington is just an adorable, playful bear you want his to succeed no matter what.
