Just Before I Go (2014)
We loved this movie.......
Ok, so it had some off-color humor, but otherwise the comedic timing was spot on. We thought the movie was poignant, full of life's truths, and thoughtful. We laughed and cried throughout the film. Fun movie, and we plan to watch it again. I've already recommended it to friend and family. A must watch in our opinion.
Jupiter Ascending (2015)
Just no
I very rarely write movie reviews, but I felt compelled to spare other earth creatures from wasting 2 hours of their life. Like a lot of people have said, I wanted to like this movie. Very much so.
Let me put it to you this way, we rented it on DVD and settled in for a movie night at home on our big screen and surround sound. Within 15 minutes my wife was asleep and within 30 minutes I was wandering around doing something else. I sat back down to now "immerse" myself (thinking maybe I'd developed instantaneous ADD), but no, within 10 minutes I was doing something else.
This movie just doesn't "grab" you in any way. It's not a matter of "bad" I guess, it's just boring. Dumb, distracting plot, non-intriguing characters, and frankly you just want to throw something at your screen to get it to end. In the end, I paused it, then forgot I was watching it and changed the channel. Thinking about it, pretty bad when your mind "moved past" the fact you were watching it in the first place. Guess I need to be more appreciative of my subconscious mind.
Spare yourself earthlings......you'll thank me.
A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)
Turned it off after 30 minutes
Yes, it is/was that bad. I tried to give this movie a chance given the star studded cast, but this movie is only an "R" rated Simpsons cartoon in live action at best. Simply some of the most childish humor I've ever heard. I suppose if you're 14-16 years old (same target demographics as the Simpsons)this movie is absolutely hilarious. To a grown adult, it's just moronic and stupid. Can't believe this was written by a 40 year old grown man. Keep in mind I'm no boyscout. I like "off color" humor and pratfalls as much as anyone, but I'm still an adult. If you think potty humor gets old after 30 minutes as I do, I;d suggest staying away from the latest Seth flick.
Behind Enemy Lines II: Axis of Evil (2006)
Just...........bad bad bad
I wouldn't even know where to begin. Yes, it's that bad. The original "Behind Enemy Lines" was well written, acted and believable. Great movie, I've seen many times. This movie is anything but that. Told my wife it's like it was made for 15 year old gamers by a 17 year old writer/director. Cheap, cheesy and total nonsense. We were/are supposed to believe these guys are really Navy Seals? They use AK47's? (the hook was intended for the 15 year olds. AK47= cool!!), get caught after being on the ground for what?, 15 minutes? Have firefights that require absolutely no clip (ammo) changes, ever? Dumb movie, bad acting, ridiculous writing. If this is the only thing on, read a book........or grab an AK with unlimited ammo and put yourself out of you misery.
