Good Boys ... Raunchy comedy from tiny people

Good Boys is the story of three 12-year old kids who are on a mission to accomplish the single most important thing of their lives, to get to a kissing party. Good Boys star Keith Williams, Brady Noon, and Jacob Tremblay as the three young protagonists, and believe it or not they all have a decent amount of chemistry with one another. The plot is structured much like how a kid thinks, they all have hyped up this one party to be the single most important thing that they will ever do in their lives. The film brings out surprisingly healthy chunk of nostalgia, not only because of the incredible amount of cursing that is produced by three 12-year olds but because of how a kid's world is so different when they're young. The movie even has a decent conclusion and message on what it means to grow up. Aside from that the real reason anyone would watch this film is because of the comedy and I have to say it delivers as advertised. The trailers serve perfectly as they demonstrate the offered comedy and if you laughed at the trailers you will laugh in the movies. However, the directing is incredibly choppy and jumpy. The movie feels disjointed and instead of getting a smooth proper journey, it feels like a series of comedy skits one after the other. In the end Good Boys doesn’t do anything exceptionally well unless you enjoy raunchy comedy in which case you will have a few laughs, but that’s it. I would recommend seeing this movie if you feel like you laugh easily at raunchy films or if you you have a couple of alcoholic beverages in you.

47 Meters Down: Uncaged ... Also 47 points below average

47 Meters Down: Uncaged is another movie in the line of tradition that celebrates the venerated big predator of the sea, the shark. The movie is also an unnecessary sequel to 2017’s 47 Meters Down, but that’s not important or relevant to anything in this film. The movie stars Sophie Nelisse and three other young actresses as they all get into shark infested waters on an underwater expedition gone wrong. Unfortunately, the movie doesn’t want you to see any of that as the visuals are for the most part dark and confusing. On the other hand the jumps scares are well timed, don’t feel cheap, and consistent through out the film. This does not justify the film because a few timely jumps don’t make a movie. The films plot is lazy and although it does have some nice Mayan ruins flavor, the rest of it is completely uninteresting. The film lacks great hefts of dialogue and while I think it’s normal to for characters in a shark film to scream, I was hoping more than a script that I imagine was ha...

Knives Out ... An outstanding murder mystery

I had the luxury of getting to see the prescreening of Knives Out, and I'm incredibly glad I did. I'd like to start by saying that I believe Knives Out is a movie for the sake of being a good movie. To me this is so incredibly important because I truly do believe that there is an art to making a movie. Now to break down Knives Out, there is the setup and the investigation. While the movie starts with several investigators already there, the most important one being Daniel Kreg, that does not mean it's where the investigation truly starts. The murder occurs in a mansion with the victim's all being possible suspects. The setup brings forth all the possible murder suspects and introduces each of them with the brilliant comedic levity of familial disagreement. As this unfolds the film begins to close on it's light hearted setup, and it begins to turn towards it's true mystery. This second part is less comedic and more intriguing. It engages the viewer not because t...

21 Bridges ... A grand chase in a single night

21 Bridges star Chadwick Bosman in a lead role as a detective known for being a killer of cop killers. A pair of robbers steal drugs in an unsuspecting job leading to a chase filled with mystery and action. I will say that what this movie really does is put Chadwick upfront as the star and mostly keeps it that way. The movie is straightforward as it begins to slowly unveil and unravel the circumstances of the chase through Manhattan island. The movie's linear nature is only broken up by the cuts of showing the perspectives of the cops and robbers. Overall there isn't anything too novel about the film, but that isn't to say that it's bad. Chadwick Bosman and a decent plot are the real saving graces of the film. It is also well directed and keeps the audience engaged, but it still lacks something to make the movie stand out on it's own. I would only recommend it if you just enjoy chase movies or if you can't think of anything better to watch.
