Becky and I went to see the film Fury at the AMC Theater in Highlands Ranch, CO.  The MSN Movie website at Fury describes the movie as follows…

“In this thundering war thriller set during the Allies’ final push into Europe in April 1945, a battle-weary Army sergeant leads a Sherman tank and its crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines…”

The Review: Fury is just incredible movie making.  The acting is fantastic, the story is as real as you can get and it is a reminder of the price that men and women paid fighting the Germans in World War II to defeat the Nazi regime.  It is brutal and does not candy coat death, destruction and war like so many films tend to do.  There are parts of this movie that are very disturbing and that will make you think, including an execution of a man pleading for his life.  The movie illustrates how war makes people hard and able to commit murder given the circumstances, even if they don’t think that they will.

Fury reminded me of Saving Private Ryan in that it is one of those movies that you have to see, but I don’t have any interest in seeing it again.  It was very well done, even if you’re not a fan or war movies you should like this film and we definitely rated it a Don’t Miss It.

Becky and I went to see a sneak preview of the film John Wick at the AMC theaters in Highlands Ranch, CO.  The Fandango website at John Wick describes the movie as follows…

“Retired hit-man John Wick (Keanu Reeves) hits the streets of NYC in search of the gangsters who robbed him of his reason for living in this Lionsgate thriller featuring Michael Nyqvist, Alfie Allen, Adrianne Palicki, Ian McShane, John Leguizamo, and Willem Dafoe….”

The Review:  If you go see this movie, just think of the Matrix because that’s how much killing takes place in this film with Keanu Reeves as John Wick.  It is extremely far fetched with John Wick having almost super hero skills, but it’s a pretty fun action flick overall.  I liked this movie much more than Becky did, since it’s a “guy flick”, but the character is so much like Neo in the Matrix that it’s a bit too much at times.  The story isn’t nearly as good as The Matrix either.  It’s one of those movies that you think you’ve seen before with movies like Jack Reacher and others, which is one of the problems with the film.

It’s not a terrible movie, but it’s definitely a “me too” movie that has been done so many times before with the “hit man” or the special operative movie like Taken and Take 2 and soon to be Taken 3.  I think that’s the biggest flaw of the film is that it’s not unique enough compared to other films that we’ve all seen before.  I did like some of the cinematography and the way the takes people out is pretty cool since he doesn’t really think about it and always takes a kill shot.  That was different from other films like this where the character is almost being “nice”.  The fight scene at the end was lame considering how many people he takes out earlier on in the film.

I would have to say that this is a good rental to wait until it shows up on Netflix or at the rental box.  I’m sure it will become a cult classic like The Matrix once it goes into the video world.

Becky and I went to see the film Dracula Untold last night at the AMC theaters in Castle Rock, CO.  The Fandango website at Dracula Untold describes the movie as follows…

“Director Gary Shore revamps the mythos surrounding Vlad the Impaler in Dracula Year Zero, a Universal Pictures release from a script by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless. The horror tale is set to take place in Romania during the Turkish invasion as Vlad (Luke Evans) goes to the greatest of lengths to fight for his homeland — even if it means selling his soul and becoming forever doomed as a creature of the night…”

The Review:  I was looking forward to seeing this movie since I have always enjoyed Bran Stoker’s Dracula and thought it would be cool to see another movie about Dracula.  The special effects were done well, but the story was kind of lame.  It started out very good and was a pretty exciting film, but by the end of the film it got pretty goofy with vampires all over the place.

I don’t think this movie will be for everyone.  It starts out good, but it’s more of a war movie than a vampire horror film.  It has some elements that are more like the movie Van Helsing with it’s “campy” approach to the vampires.  It wasn’t terrible, but it was fairly entertaining.  Once again, there is a final battle scene where Dracula goes from being a super hero that is embodied by evil to suddenly experiencing his kryptonite and struggles to beat a mere mortal.  That was a bit lame.  Becky didn’t like this movie much at all and thought it was a don’t bother.  I think she fell asleep during it.

I think it will make a pretty good rental.

Becky and I went to see the film The Judge on Friday at the AMC theaters in Castle Rock, CO.  The Fandango website at The Judge describes the movie as follows…

“Robert Downey Jr. plays an urban lawyer who heads back to his rural home when his father, a judge, is implicated as a murder suspect in this comedy-drama from Warner Bros. Vera Farmiga, Robert Duvall, Vincent D’Onofrio, and Billy Bob Thornton head up the rest of the starring cast…”

The Review: The Judge is a drama about a powerful big city lawyer and his Dad who is a local Judge in a small town.  They have had relationship challenges most of their lives and the son finds himself in a position having to defend his father from going to jail.  It creates some interesting conflicts between the family and the characters.

The movie is very well done and Robert Duvall was amazing, along with the other actors.  Many people who see this film will be able to relate to the characters in this film and how one or two conflicts in the past and un-forgiveness can have lasting impacts on family dynamics.  There are also some health issues that come into play for the main character that is pretty sad and rather graphic.

We both liked this movie and thought it was worth seeing on the big screen.  Becky thought it was a film that you don’t want to miss.

Becky and I went to see the film Gone Girl on Friday at the AMC theaters in Castle Rock, CO.  The Fandango website at Gone Girl describes the movie as follows…

“David Fincher returns to the director’s chair for this 20th Century Fox thriller based on Gillian Flynn‘s bestseller (and adapted for the screen by the author) about a husband who becomes the prime suspect in his wife’s disappearance after she vanishes on their fifth wedding anniversary…”

The Review:  Our friend Devon that we run with read this book and she refused to tell us anything about it, but we definitely wanted to go and see it.  I’m not a big Ben Affleck fan at all, so when I found out he was in it, I wasn’t to thrilled about seeing it and I had low expectations.  It turned out that I was completely wrong about this movie.

This movie is done extremely well and is very disturbing.  There is a part in the film that is just over the top graphic and shocking that we did not expect and it was really terrible.  Probably the worst part of the film for us, but the rest of the film and the acting was superb.  Especially Rosamund Pike who plays “Amazing Amy” so well in this film and should win an Oscar for her performance in this movie.  It’s really that good.  If you’re wondering what this movie is about, just think Basic Instinct with Sharon Stone and that’s what this film is like.  It’s that crazy!

We had to go and watch Basic Instinct again after seeing this movie just to see how much it was like that movie.  It is a very original movie and extremely well done, but disturbing for sure.  I still don’t like Ben Affleck, but does a good job in this movie.
