Becky and I went to see the new movie The Witch at the Alamo theaters in Littleton, CO on Friday with our friends Mark and Maria. The Fandango website at The Witch describes the movie as follows…

“A devoutly Puritan family in 1630s New England is exiled from their village and struggle to survive in their new home situated on the edge of a mysterious wilderness. The sinister, witching forces in the wilderness emerge silently to terrorize the family, first by stealing the youngest of their five children. As their life-sustaining crops fail, the family falls victim to paranoia and fear as they begin to turn on one another, suspecting young teen Thomasin (Anya Taylor-Joy) of witchcraft. With the vast majority of the dialogue culled from primary sources of the time period, Robert Eggers’ shocking debut horror feature is a terrifying glimpse into a family descending into madness…”

The Review:  The Witch is a really bizarre horror movie about a family in the 1600’s that is banished from their village to go find a place of their own with their family.  As the description explains, they situate their family next to a dark forest and strange things start happening to the family.  Initially, a baby is stolen and and the oldest daughter is thought to be the prime suspect.  It goes down hill from there though as the family is torn about by supernatural events.

This movie has been getting great reviews from a number of people, but others felt the same way that we did.  This movie was terrible.  It was not only boring, but it was disturbing with people being murdered, animals abused and characters that were total misfits in a world they didn’t understand.

It was good verses evil, but there wasn’t anything good in this movie or about this film.  Becky said it was quite possibly the worst movie she has ever seen and our friends Mark and Maria felt the same way.  It was a complete waste of time.

We all rated the movie The Witch as a Don’t Bother.

Becky and I went to see the new movie Jane Got a Gun at the AMC Theater in Castle Rock, CO on opening day. The Fandango website at Jane Got a Gun describes the movie as follows…

“In the Old West, Jane Hammond (Natalie Portman) must recruit the help of gunslinger and former lover Dan Front (Joel Edgerton) to protect her current husband Bill (Noah Emmerich) from an outlaw gang led by the relentless Colin McCann (Ewan McGregor). Directed by Gavin O’Connor…”

The Review:  Jane Got a Gun is a classic Western starring Natalie Portman as a woman who is living in a society where women are clearly second class citizens.  Her character has lived a life of hardship after her true love has gone off to war and left her alone to fend for herself.  She has a daughter and before you know it she is in a world where a beautiful woman can be used and abused by men.  Her character is continually in a desperate situation throughout the film as an outlaw gan is trying to hunt her and her husband down.

It’s a strange flick and it’s hard to watch at times because this woman’s life is pretty miserable as she settles time and again striving for that early American dream.  The movie will definitely make you appreciate living in America today with our modern conveniences, but it didn’t really do much for Becky or me beyond that since it moved pretty slow.

The movie has her character in very challenging situations and at times it is disturbing since you could see where it could be true to life in the Old West.  It made me think that life really sucked back in those days.  It is getting good reviews, but it was just a little too boring for too much of the film.  I guess we had higher expectations than what it delivered, so we are rating this one a rental.

Becky and I went to see the new movie Finest Hours at the AMC Theater in Highlands Ranch, CO last week. The Fandango website at Finest Hours describes the movie as follows…

“This docudrama depicts the incredible true story of a daring Coast Guard rescue operation off of Cape Cod during a ferocious storm in the winter of 1952. When an oil tanker splits in half, trapping its crew aboard the sinking vessel, four brave Guardsmen set out to save them. Craig Gillespie directed this adventure drama, which stars Chris Pine, Ben Foster, and Eric Bana..”

The Review:  The Finest Hours is the story of the most daring Coast Guard rescue operation in history during a monster winter storm of 1952 in a small boat in giant waves.  Becky and I had the opportunity to watch a 9News report here in Denver featuring the remaining survivor who was involved in this rescue and this story is really incredible.

The movie is great because the story is great and it shows the true grit of some of our older generations, who would put their lives on the line to save others.  There is a line in the film where Chris Pine’s character basically says that the Coast Guard tells their people that they have to go out, but it doesn’t say that they have to come back in.  That was a pretty amazing statement about the character of the men and women who serve in the United States Coast Guard and our Military because it’s true.

What these men did was exactly that and went into an impossible situation when others would have figured out a way to save their own skin and all the men on that oil tanker would have died.  The survivor interviewed on the 9News story pointed out that many of the men who were saved got married and went on to have families.  Those people wouldn’t have been born and lived had these men not been willing to put their lives on the line.  When you see this movie it will make you wonder how these people could have possibly survived.  It’s a fantastic story of American heroism.

Becky and I both really liked this movie and though it was a Don’t Miss It and Worth The Trip.

John – *** Worth The Trip

Becky and I went to see Hail, Caesar last week with our friends Hope and Chris at the AMC Theater in Castle Rock, CO last week.  The Fandango website at Hail, Caesar describes the movie as follows…

“Slick Hollywood fixer Eddie Mannix (Josh Brolin) is pressed into action when superstar actor Baird Whitlock (George Clooney) is kidnapped and held for ransom by a mysterious group. Mannix races to quietly collect the ransom money without gossip columnists Thessaly and Thora Thacker (Tilda Swinton in a dual role) catching wind of the scandal. Alden Ehrenreich, Ralph Fiennes, Scarlett Johansson, Jonah Hill, Frances McDormand, and Channing Tatum co-star in this comedy set in Hollywood’s golden age. Directed by Joel and Ethan Coen.”

The Review:  Hail, Caesar has an all star cast, including Josh Brolin,, George Clooney and a host of others, but that is the problem with this film.  There are so many movie stars that each character only gets about five minutes of time on the screen, so the movie jumps around to fit everyone into a small skit within this quirky movie.

The acting is good in this movie and there are some really good scenes, like a wild dance scene with Channing Tatum that is entertaining, but the overall story of the movie is pretty weak and it’s just way to whacky.  The film is a movie behind the movies with the main character played by Josh Brolin trying to deal with all the craziness of managing Hollywood movie stars and their personal nonsense.  This made the film pretty funny, but it jumped from one character to the next to the next to the next and before you knew it you were watching a boring movie.

I probably liked it the most of the four of us and that isn’t saying much because I am rating this one a rental, so you should just wait until it comes out on video or Netflix.

Becky and I went to see the movie Dirty Grandpa at the AMC Theater in Castle Rock, CO last week. The Fandango website at Dirty Grandpa is describes the movie as follows…

“Straight-laced lawyer Jason (Zac Efron) goes on a road trip to Daytona Beach with his horndog grandfather Dick (Robert De Niro), who was recently widowed and is eager to party hard on spring break now that he’s a single man. Along the way, Dick prods Jason to let loose and have fun, and tries to convince him that he shouldn’t get married to his controlling fiancée (Julianne Hough)…”

The Review:  Dirty Grandpa has to be one of the worst movies we have seen in quite sometime..  It opens up with Robert De Niro watching porn naked and having his own party and then went down from there.  If you can imagine?  We were kind of shocked that he would be willing to play in this role.  Is he really that desperate of an actor now?

The jokes are stupid the movie has a few times that it is funny, but most of the time it was just ridiculous and even disturbing.  It was a boring movie that wasn’t worth the price of admission and several people in our theater got up and left.  There isn’t much more to say other than that you have Zac Efron and Robert De Niro who both are popular actors in a terrible movie that could have been funny.  Instead this movie was really just crude and really stupid.

This is definitely a movie that you don’t want to waste your time seeing.
