Becky and I went to see the new movie CHAPPiE today at the Regal Cinemas in Lone Tree, CO with Corban and Bianca. The Fandango website at CHAPPiE describes the movie as follows…

“Neill Blomkamp (District 9, Elysium) expands on his 2003 short film Tetra Val in this futuristic sci-fi saga written in collaboration with screenwriter Terri Tatchell (who previously worked with Blomkamp on the screenplay for District 9), centering on the story of a police robot named Chappie, who develops the ability to think and feel for himself. As people fight back against the mechanized police force, sinister forces seek to capture Chappie for their nefarious purposes. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi…”

The Review: We had seen the previews for this movie for quite a while, but we are not quite sure if it would be any good.  The movie looked a bit stupid, but it was much better than we expected.  It could be because we had low expectations, but it was really well done.  The robot character was really well done and the story was good with excellent acting.  The story asks the question on what would happen if a robot was granted consciousness like a human being and what the result would be.  Would mankind accept such a being or try to destroy it.

The movie is strange and is extremely violent.  It’s like a science fiction action movie and it was done by the people who did District 9 about the aliens, which Becky and I thought was really stupid.  This film is much better and is very interesting from a moral and spiritual sense based on what people believe to be true or not.  I think that Pastor’s should definitely see this film because it deals with what is consciousness and are we as human beings anything more than a computer program?  Personally, I do not believe so because I believe that man is a spirit, soul and body and not just a body and a soul.  However, there are many who disagree with my view and their views fall much more in line with what this movie presents.

Becky didn’t like it very much, but she is not a fan of science fiction and it was very violent and the language is harsh.  Corban and I both liked it and Bianca was with Becky on this one and we didn’t know it was Rated R when we went into it, so be forewarned.

Becky and I went to see the new movie Focus last weekend in Phoenix, AZ on Saturday night with our friends Mark and Maria. The Fandango website at Focus describes the movie as follows…

“Nicky has studied the science of human nature his whole life, and understands precisely how to earn anyone’s trust, or fool them into never noticing he’s stealing their watch, or wallet, or anything they might have that Nicky can sell. In the movie’s opening sequence, he’s eating at a New York restaurant when the gorgeous Jess approaches his table and asks him to pretend to be her boyfriend so that she can avoid a particularly determined guy at the bar who won’t stop hitting on her. The two of them hit it off, but he quickly figures out that she’s running a scam on him and soon turns the tables on her and her partner. Undaunted, Jess begs Nicky to teach her what he knows about the criminal life, and he brings her in on a plan to steal from as many people as possible during Super Bowl week in New Orleans. She turns out to be a natural, and quickly learns the ropes of this unscrupulous world…”

The Review: We haven’t seen Will Smith in a good movie in a while, but this one looked pretty interesting.  It was a bit of a different flick with Margot Robbie starring as a girl who wants to be a con-artist like Will Smith’s character.  He happens to be the best in the business and his job requires focus, hence the name of the movie.  There are quite a few plot twists in this movie and it has a good story as well.  However, it’s also pretty far fetched at times, especially when both character end up at the same location three years later for different reasons.

Even though there are some shortcomings in this movie it is entertaining.  The film is well done and we all liked it.  It’s not a great flick that is going to win any awards, but it was worth the trip.

Becky and I went to see the new movie Unfinished Business this weekend at the AMC Theater in Castle Rock, CO on Friday with our friends Hope and Chris. The Fandango website at Unfinished Business describes the movie as follows…

“Ken Scott’s comedy Unfinished Business stars Vince Vaughn as a struggling businessman trying to get his fledgling company off the ground. To do so he must travel with his partners (Dave Franco and Tom Wilkinson) on a foreign business trip in order to land a huge client. Unexpectedly, our hero discovers that he is competing against his former boss, and his attempts to show the prospective clients the best night of their lies leads to a number of unexpected complications. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi”

The Review: There are some really bad comedies that I’ve seen over the years and this is one of the worst.  The film tries to be funny with some totally over the top homosexual scenes and a few other scenes that were just incredibly stupid.  Wayne’s World was a stupid comedy, but it was actually funny.  This movie was not funny.  They mixed very serious elements of this film, such as the main character’s son being teased for being fat and bullied at school with slapstick type comedy.

I’m not going to waste a great deal of time on this review.  The movie sucked.  I laughed a few times because it was so ridiculous I couldn’t believe it.  Becky didn’t like it and Hope hated it.  There were a few laughs in this movie, but overall it was raunchy and a waste of time and money.  It’s definitely a don’t bother.
