Free Guy

 

A video game character deviates from his programing and sends the gaming world into a tailspin. 

Definitely a fun tongue in cheek commentary on not only the world of video games but also those that actually live vicariously online. 

Entertaining, quickly paced and lots of unexpected cameos.

*** Must See

Rated PG-13 (for language, crude & suggestive references and violence)

The Green Knight

 

King Arthurs' nephew sets off on a quest to confront the Green Knight in an effort to prove himself worthy of the King's court. 

Based on Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, a late 14th century Middle English chivalric romance story, the author is unknown. It is apparently one of the best know Arthurian stories... still unknow to me, I had to look it up and read the story after I saw the movie. That being said the story is entertaining enough and made sense... the movie however did not. It was not only totally confusing, it took a great deal of liberty in its adaptation. 

Like watching someone hallucinate - perhaps more enjoyable if you are on something. 

* 1/2 - Totally bizarre, not a chance.

Rated R(for violence, sexual content and graphic nudity)

The Suicide Squad

 

The government makes a deal with the worlds most dangerous villains. A suicide mission that if successful will reduce their sentence by fifteen years. 

This revamp/sequel is mediocre at best. The characters are undoubtedly unique and quirky, the storyline however is weak and predictable. 

Obnoxiously gruesome violence and language leave this film with an R rating - which can only hurt DC as their target demographic is twelve to sixteen year old children who can't get into an R movie unaccompanied by an adult. 

** Rentable

Rated R(for gratuitous violence, gore, harsh language, and war)

Jungle Cruise

 

A biologist and her brother head to the Amazon in search of a legendary mystical tree that holds the power to heal all and any ailment. Convinced this will help the war effort of 1916 Great Britain they enlist the help of a corny joke telling tour guide and soon find themselves at odds with German soldiers along with 15th century Spanish conquistadores also in pursuit of the tree. 

Raiders of the Lost Ark meets Pirates of the Caribbean. Lots of homage paid to the ride with the corny jokes and hippo sightings, this was a fun adaptation of the famous Disneyland ride.

*** Must See (for Disneyland fans)

Rated PG-13(for action, violence and thematic elements)
