Newest Review is LIVE!!!!!Another Double Review for you all.
Hello All,
I’ve had a very long day, so I’m going to keep this intro short and get sort of straight to the point. So let’s do that now shall we?
A Hologram for the King Review
Plot Summary - Salesman Alan Clay (Tom Hanks) travels to Saudi Arabia in order to sell a holographic meeting system to the king. While there, he travels around meeting various citizens and getting to know the culture, while reinvigorating his own life.
Pros - Truthfully, this is a classic Tom Hanks type of feel good movie. The cast is good, the story is good, and the film is also really well made.
Cons - It is a touch on the sentimental side, and the story does kind of wander from place to place a bit.
Final Score - 9/10
It’s not going to break too much ground in terms of filmmaking, but it is a well told and heartfelt film.
Green Room
Plot Summary - After a punk band finds themselves playing at a neo nazi bar in the woods, the accidentally get caught up in a murder scheme, and are forced to stay in the bar’s green room by it’s menacing owner Darcy Banker (Patrick Stewart).
Pros - It is really cool to see Patrick Stewart as a villain, as he and the rest of the cast do a really good job with the premise. The film is tight, suspenseful, well told, and it’s incredibly interesting to watch the situation and evolve and grow with the chaos. It’s a really good looking film too, as it takes place over the night and through the barely lit club. It also makes the smart choice to avoid jump scares altogether and forces you to watch and get involved with the situation at hand.
Cons - If you’re looking for a straight up scare fest, you’re barking up the wrong tree. The film also didn’t quite grip me with suspense as much as I would’ve hoped, but it never lost my interest.
Final Score - 8/10
It’s a definite watch, even if you just want to see Patrick Stewart be amazing.
Next - Money Monster if there’s a showing nearby. Other wise it’ll probably be a spontaneous review of a dvd or something.
Last Review is Here: It’s for the film that I can easily say at the time of writing this is the new front runner for my favorite of the year.
