Keanu Review

Keanu

Rell: "Keanu!"

Clarence: "Here kitty, kitty!"

       Keanu is directed by Peter Atencio (various Key and Peele sketches) and stars Jordan Peele as Rell Williams, Keegan-Michael Key as Clarence Goobril, Tiffany Haddish as Hi-C, Method Man as Cheddar, Jason Mitchell as Bud, Darrel Brit-Gibson as Trunk, Jamar Malachi Neighbors as Stitches, Will Forte as Hulka, and Luis Guzmán as Bacon.

This is damn near the cutest movie cat I've ever seen!

      The story of Keanu starts with Rell (Jordan Peele) at the beginning stages of depression since his girlfriend left him. Clarence (Keegan-Michael Key) is the best friend/cousin of Rell who comes over to Rell's house to cheer him up, only to find out that Rell's emotions are already being lifted by a cute kitten who came to his doorstep named Keanu. Being so attached to cute Keanu, Rell freaks out when Keanu has been kitten-napped by a gang. The mission to retrieve Keanu turns to more complicated grounds when Rell and Clarence, normal suburban men, are mistaken for dangerous criminal thugs. Strange and violent situations after strange and violent situations follow in order for Rell to hold his little kitten again.

Hey, if you need to kill someone to see Keanu again, go for it.

      Keanu is absurd and you'd know that going in. However, it's a hilariously absurd movie that rides that thin line of being parody-like and a standard comedy/action film, even though it's neither. Right off the bat, I was definitely mesmerized by little Keanu's cuteness and cared for his safety. It's a weird thing to say that if I were in Rel's shoes, I would do the same, because if a pet got me through a deep depression, I would go out of my way to rescue said animal. Still, I don't think I would risk almost getting murdered like 5 times just to keep an animal who is going to be cared for no matter what. That's besides the point though. For this reason of being absolutely absurd, I laughed my ass off during most of the movie. I really have to stress the chemistry that both Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele that made the movie. These guys are one of those comedic duos that work perfectly together in just about everything they do, which is a really hard thing to find nowadays. Yeah, there are the comedic duos that work well together in their performances or directing, but Key and Peele are a special kind of something. It's apparent, even in their interviews, that they feed off of each others energy. Jordan Peele is usually one of those people who aren't as noticeable in other films because he's not as "loud" (personality-wise) as Keegan-Michael Key. In Keanu, he proves that observation wrong. They both carry this movie well enough so that both actors are, in a way, almost like one character.

A beautiful thing to be so close to a friend that you can make a cat rescue movie so great.

      There are a lot of gut busting jokes that land when I wasn't expecting much out of it (i.e. there is a recurring joke about a certain vocalist that felt as though it would be an overused joke after the second time it was used. It wasn't. It was used in a smart and effective way that didn't feel old). I can't help but point out that sometimes other jokes fell a little flat, but even then, the film was still intriguing as all hell because it carried on without relaying on a certain type of humor. As I mentioned, Keanu rides the line between parody and funny action movie. That's definitely true as shown by how versatile Key and Peel can work with slapstick humor, raunchy humor, and dialogue-based humor. To add onto that humor variation, all of the secondary characters (especially the thugs working with Rel and Clarence) were utilized well considering that the film was focusing on the comedic duo. Pretty much what I'm saying is that there were no bad performances, overall.

Keanu's calendar filled with other movie references were one of those jokes that hit the mark with me!

      While Keanu is an overall fun comedy, there were very minor flaws that included the sometimes "eh" jokes and even some of the action heavy third act of the movie. This third act felt a bit detached from the rest of the film mainly because there were sometimes cartoonish moments with people not dying after getting shot a bunch of times, exaggerated bloodshed, and certain events that leads to no serious consequences. This being said, I can see that Keanu is trying to go for that. I'm repeating it yet again: Key and Peele ride that thin line between parody and standard action comedy well (despite those minor, minor flaws).

Things got crazy during that third act!

      As you might realize, Keanu is, yes, technically a parody of Keanu Reeve's film John Wick, even though I said it really isn't. However, it stands as a film all its own with clever humor, (thanks to the chemistry of Key and Peele) and the cuteness of a kitten (although I'm sure they used multiple kittens. Oh, that cinema magic). I enjoyed Keanu for what it was aiming to do and achieved: a fun comedy that you can see with your friends (stoned or not).

4.4/5

PRO

• Comedic chemistry of Key and Peele
• Incorporated different types of humor (raunchy, slapstick, etc.)
• Well-balanced use of cast
• Definitely Keanu the adorable kitten!

CON

• Some jokes feel a little sluggish
• Action oriented third act strays away from the rest of the movie

Keanu is rated R for violence, language throughout, drug use and sexuality/nudity

The Huntsman: Winter's War Review

The Huntsman: Winter's War

Ravenna: "Are you ready, huntsman?"

The Huntsman: "Aye."

Me: "No!!!"

       The Huntsman: Winter's War is directed by visual effects artist Cedric Nicolas-Troyan (first time director) and stars Chris Hemsworth as Eric/The Huntsman, Jessica Chastain as Sara, Emily Blunt as Queen Freya, Charlize Theron as Revenna, Nick Frost as Nion, Rob Brydon as Gryff, and Sope Dirisu as Tull.

Right there! Emily Blunt's Freya is imitating exactly how I felt during the movie: sleepy.

      The Huntsman: Winter's War is the (technically) sequel of Snow White and The Huntsman that takes place in the fantastical world of Snow White. The Huntsman (whose name is Eric and I'm just going to refer to him as Eric from now on) is shown raised as a part of Queen Freya's unstoppable army. He and Sara grew up as the best fighters in her army and as love interests for each other. Freya, rejecting any idea that has to do with love, separates the two indefinitely. Years pass, with the story of Snow White and The Huntsman passing too, and Eric is given orders by Queen Snow White to retrieve the mirror that made Revenna the Evil Queen to then exterminate it. Sara and Eric reunite to find the mirror, along with a handful of dwarves who butt heads, so that Queen Freya doesn't find the mirror, that her sister Revenna used, and unleash the evil it holds. Forbidden love and absolute power can either help The Huntsman Eric come out on top or fall to his knees.

Charlize Theron whispers: "Are you wondering why you're doing this movie too?"

      This is visual effects artist's Cedric Nicolas-Troyan's directorial debut, beside a short film he did a while ago. It's clear that The Huntsman: Winter's War is a visually driven film because the world looks pretty enticing. Though that's the only thing it has going for it. Everything else was messy as all hell. Yeah, there's some poor acting by great actors and the dialogue is cheesy as can be, but The Huntsman: Winter's War's worst sin is that it's boring. I hate to say it, and I really do, but there was a point in the movie where I had to resist not falling asleep. It was a battle between the nature of humans and the human consciousness saying, "don't do it! I believe in you!". I would have rather seen that movie: a movie about a person fighting the urge to fall asleep. There is a lot of walking and talking, which I don't have a problem with in a movie. The Lord of the Rings trilogy has a bunch of that, but at the same time, the characters there were interesting and able to grab a hold of the audience with their tough journey. The characters in The Huntsman: Winter's War were bland. I'm sorry Emily Blunt. You're amazing and exceptional in almost everything you do, but you were not the actress that should have been chosen for this role. Queen Freya seemed to be written as a character whose mere presence is what drives their personality and characteristics. Emily Blunt, if you've seen any of her films, is more of an action star and prides herself with dialogue as well. No fighting or fast movement and terribly written script is what's provided for this character. Like I said, not the right part for Emily Blunt. I love you regardless of this trash, Emily!

Don't cry, Emily. It's OK to be bored. You'll choose a better role next time though. Smile :)

      I walked out of the movie a bit confused. I honestly thought that The Huntsman: Winter's War would be an intense animosity between two sisters (Freya and Revenna) that leads to an all out war, as the trailers show. This isn't the case at all. Forbidden love is the bulk of what this movie is about, with a little bit of going places, beating up people/fantasy type creatures, and retrieving the mirror. There is just too much going on when it's not called for. For example, Charlize Theron's Revenna is revived from the mirror and says that she wasn't dead or alive. There is no explanation as to what this means or how she even appears out of the mirror. There's no question about it: Charlize Theron was a wasted talent in The Huntsman: Winter's War. Stuff like this makes roll my eyes because it wasn't necessary to have her be there, or if the director and the writers did want her to be there, they could have incorporated her into the story a lot better.

Whoa! Well I can confidently say that Charlize always gives it her all.

      The Huntsman: Winter's War isn't unwatchable, however. It sounds like a bad thing to say that it isn't so bad it's unwatchable, but I can see people who really are into the dark part of Disney franchises would be into this. I did enjoy some of the fighting sequences, one especially with the goblin which I enjoyed. It isn't perfect, but it's a positive something to leave the theater with. Also, Chris Hemsworth is just as charming as he is in most of his movies. Unfortunately, those two factors of The Huntsman: Winter's War was not enough to save the disastrous work that the director gave to everyone. I understand that it's his first big movie too, and for that, I commend him for trying. I just think that Nicolas-Troyan should stick to his visual effects work since that's where he shines. I was interested in the world that this movie took place in. Fairies, goblins, dwarves, queens, and wars are all part of a great fantasy world. I'm certain that The Huntsman: Winter's War had the potential to be something incredibly interesting.

Just look at these stills! There is potential for a good fantasy movie here, but so much was wasted.

      The more I think about The Huntsman: Winter's War, the more I don't want to think about it. I honestly want to see more of this world, knowing it's a Disney driven and dark fantasy world. It sucks that I had to fight myself from not going to sleep during the movie, though. Dull characters with insipid dialogue made it difficult for me to deal with this movie overall. I also feel bad for all of the actors and actresses in this movie because you (possibly) and I know they all have solid repertoires in their filmography. Unfortunate choices led them to this definite throw-away of a movie that was unnecessary to begin with.

2.0/5

PRO

• Makes you want to know more about the fantasy world surrounding the story
• Chris Hemsworth and some fight scenes, I guess

CON

• So boring
• Stiff acting all around
• Sorry, Emily. Not your best (probably your worst, actually)
• Unnecessary subplots were thrown around

The Huntsman: Winter's War is rated PG-13 for fantasy action violence and some sensuality

The Jungle Book Review

The Jungle Book

Baloo:  (Singing) "Forget about your worries and your strife..."

Mowgli:  "What's that?"

Baloo:  "That's a song about the good life."

       The Jungle Book is directed by Jon Favreau (Iron Man, Elf, Chef) and stars Neel Sethi as Mowgli, Bill Murray as Baloo, Ben Kingsley as Bagheera, Idris Elba as Shere Khan, Lupita Nyong'o as Raksha, Christopher Walken as King Louie, Scarlett Johansson as Kaa, and Giancarlo Esposito as Akela.

Wow! Take notes, everybody! This is how you do a modern take on an animated Disney classic!

       The Jungle Book takes place in, well, the jungle. I believe it's a jungle in India though. Mowgli, a young man-cub raised by wolves and a black panther Bagheera, lives among the wild animals in the jungle and treats them as friends. When the deadly tiger Shere Khan arrives onto the scene and meets Mowgli, he fears that Mowgli is a very plausible threat based on Shere Khan's past with man and the red flower (also known as fire). His mission is now to kill Mowgli. Bagheera must lead Mowgli to the man-village where he can be safe with his own people. On the way, Mowgli encounters various outrageous, dangerous, and lovable animals that either hinder him or help him on his journey to find out what his true home really is: The man-village filled with humans who have had no contact with Mowgli or the jungle where Shere Khan is killing Mowgli's family and friends until Mowgli comes back.

 
In writing, this doesn't sound so family friendly...

      Right out of the gate, The Jungle Book has its visuals established. It looks fantastic. Many of you may already know that this movie was not actually shot in the jungle. Actually, it was made far from it: A studio in Los Angeles. So because of this, computer generated imagery (and I believe some motion capture) was used to create almost everything, besides Neil Sethi, who plays Mowgli, and some set pieces that Neil interacted with. When I heard about this way of filming a movie, I was extremely skeptical and nervous. 1967's The Jungle Book is one of my favorite classic animated Disney movies of all time and I really didn't want this new one to have a negative imprint on it because of the special effects. Holy moly, was I wrong to be skeptical and nervous! It seriously looks like director Jon Favreau ripped a part of a jungle in India and placed it in a studio in LA. The animals especially look real as can be. To stop myself from repeating it and to save some time for you all, The Jungle Book's use of CGI is , quite frankly, a visual masterpiece. There's just no other way to say it. 

 It's absolutely beautiful and incredible what talented people can do with computers nowadays, isn't it? 

      Adding to the absence of an actual environment, Neil Sethi, being the only physically present actor in The Jungle Book, had to act with no other physical human to interact with. I think Jon Favreau did get to work with the Jim Henson company to get some puppets or something to help young Neil interact with at least something. Even then, this kid's talent is blossoming onto the screen here. I see actors working with the same kind of situations on screen and they have a hard time performing. Neil, being as young as he is, has a more fun and easier time doing it here. It's just remarkable to see a young mind imagine in front of your eyes. There were other actors, of course, but they were all voice acting. The Jungle Book really has one hell of a cast though. Everybody from Christopher Walken's King Louie to Ben Kingsley's Bagheera was excellent and perfectly casted. I have to mention that Bill Murray's Baloo is absolutely one of the best examples of perfect voice casting in a movie. His quick jokey and lovable nature that he's usually portrayed as in his movies shines in The Jungle Book (especially during "The Bare Necessities" song).

Ah! The feels! I'm a 4 year old again watching this as if it's for the first time ever!

      If you've read my reviews before, I tend to stress the importance of both the visuals (if it calls for it) and the story. The Jungle Book blends as well as it can considering it's an adaptation of an animated Disney movie that was adapted from a really dark book (that I don't think children should really read. Look it up if you really want to). The story is simple, yet enjoyable for adults and kids, but really doesn't elaborate too much from the 1967 film. I'm extremely glad with how it turned out though. I thought the story wouldn't have any songs in it at all, but lucky me, I was wrong yet again. Yes, The Jungle Book has some songs sung by a couple of characters. The only downside is that it has 2 songs. I won't say which song the other one is, besides Baloo's ditty, because it's possibly in my top 3 Disney songs ever. I'll leave it as a surprise when you see it. Since there are only two songs, they, unfortunately, feel a little out of place. Then again, I'm nitpicking. It is an overall immense pleasure seeing a brilliant film like this come to life.

Here's a hint as to what the other song is...

       You can probably figure out that I strongly recommend seeing The Jungle Book in theaters. I saw it in 3D. If you can, do the same. I rarely go see movies in 3D because it does cost a bit more and usually it's not really worth it because the movie can use cheap ways to clearly shove it in your face, but The Jungle Book, showing its value in the beautiful CGI people put in it, is definitely worth it. A bold statement, but I truly believe it is a visual masterpiece. The Jungle Book is a huge jump in visuals used for cinema, the story is almost like a brother to the 1967 version (in that this one is a very similar adaptation), and people of all ages will love it, although kids might be terrified of tigers after watching it.

 4.8/5

PRO

• CGI has uncanny and amazing resemblance to a real jungle
• Neil Sethi's acting chops
• Perfect voice casting
• Songs!

CON

• Unfortunately, there aren't enough songs, making it seem a little bit out of place

 

The Jungle Book is rated PG for some sequences of scary action and peril

Hardcore Henry ***EXPLICIT*** Review

Hardcore Henry

 "Henry, Fight Back! You are capable of more than you think!" -Estelle

     Hardcore Henry is directed by Ilya Naishuller (first time director) and stars Sharlto Copley as Jimmy, Haley Bennett as Estelle, Danila Kozlovsky as Akan, Andrei Dementiev as Slick Dmitry, and Tim Roth as Henry's Father.

Holy fucking shit! What a wild ride!

      Hardcore Henry is a first person movie, literally just in a first person point of view throughout the entire movie (except maybe for 15 seconds of it's entirety). It centers around a cyberneticlly modified human named Henry with no memory of his past. His wife, Estelle, subsequently after he is transformed into a super soldier, gets kidnapped  by the telekinetic Akan, the head of an evil corporation that wants to create super soldiers and take over the world. He must fight his way, with the accompaniment of crazed weirdo Jimmy, through Akan's henchmen and his super soldiers to rip the shit out of Akan himself.

Get some, motherfucker!

      I have to get the EXPLICIT review out of the way: I'm doing another unplanned one because this film was intense enough that I pretty much have to curse. Hardcore Henry was fucking adrenaline fueled from start to finish. Props to the stunt department for doing stuff that looks crazy intense. As a first person film from the beginning, Hardcore Henry will be a lot to take in if you get woozy easily. It actually would be best to skip a movie like this just because you will get annoyed by the camera movement, for sure. Though if you're a gamer, especially a fan of first person shooters, I strongly suggest that you see this movie just for the experience of being put into the shoes of a character who commits lots of bloody and violent acts with guns, his fists, knives, and other weapons. Yes, an experience that is really non-stop. Plus, it's immersive as fuck! You should really watch it as though your playing a video game and pretend like it's actually you performing these atrocities for revenge. If you don't, the experience really won't be worthwhile. I watched it as a film in some scenes and I just couldn't get into it because there was too much going on. Basically pandemonium that was there for no reason. However, when I watched it as playing a video game, I had a really fucking good time. The thing is, Hardcore Henry is a movie...

Which gun should I use to blow off Akan's head with...shotgun it is!

      Hardcore Henry is a cinematic experience, but since it is a movie and not a video game, I feel like it tried too hard to work on it's visuals rather than the story. This is, unfortunately, a very common mistake for many films nowadays. With every story, the protagonist should be the character with the most character development. There's practically no information on Henry in Hardcore Henry besides knowing that he is a super strong cyborg and that his wife was kidnapped by Akan. This is due to, what I believe is, Henry not being able to talk at all during the whole movie. Like I said, as a video game looking movie, this is really cool because of the experience factor, but as a movie, that just doesn't fly. There needs to be some sort of characterization to make me feel empathy for any of the characters.

God damn, it would be helpful to say something in a situation like this.

      The character with the most characterization in Hardcore Henry is without a doubt Sharlto Copley's Jimmy. Holy shit was this guy's performance versatile and amazing. I've loved his work since District 9, even though that one is a completely different role than this one. I'm not going to spoil anything on his part in the movie, but please, if you're on the fence of either seeing Hardcore Henry or not seeing it, let Sharlto Copley's performance make the decision. Go see it for him! Everybody else was fine as their own characters, even though there isn't much meat to them. I blame the writing for that. I'll say it again: Hardcore Henry chose aesthetics over content. I hate it when movies or books or video games do that shit! Still, there's plenty here in Hardcore Henry to make you have a good time.

Sharlto. What the actual fuck is up with you?...It's weird. Nevertheless, it's awesome as hell!

       Hardcore Henry is definitely amazing in its action sequences and it's stunt work, but the story fell flat on its face as soon as the bullets started storming in. In retrospect, I have to say I had a really good time watching it. I also understand that this movie is very niche. A lot of people won't like it and for good reason. However, if you don't easily get sick with fast paced movement and you just want to have a kick ass time with tons of violence, then please do yourself a favor and go see Hardcore Henry. I'm rating it as a movie, though, because it was a movie, albeit a video game movie. I could see through the bloody cracks of Hardcore Henry and see that there were flaws amidst the crazy fucking fun brutality.

3.8/5

PRO

• Crazy violent fun first person experience!
• Stunt work is commendable
• Sharlto Copley's performance

CON

• No characterization or character arch totally worth caring about
• Forgets that it's a movie rather than an actual video game
• Very niche

 

Hardcore Henry is rated R for non-stop brutal violence and mayhem, language throughout, sexual content/nudity, and drug use

Everybody Wants Some!! ***EXPLICIT*** Review

Everybody Wants Some!! 

"I'm starting to have an identity crisis here. We danced to disco, danced to Cotton Eyed Joe in kicker attire, and here we are, punks for a night!" -Jake

 

       Everybody Wants Some!! is directed and written by Richard Linklater (Dazed and Confused, Boyhood, the Before trilogy) and stars Blake Jenner as Jake, Glen Powell as Finnegan, Zoey Deutch as Beverly, J. Quinton Johnson as Dale, Temple Baker as Plummer, Tyler Hoechlin as McReynolds, Wyatt Russell as Willoughby, Ryan Guzman as Roper, Juston Street as Jay, Will Brittain as Beuter, Austin Amelio as Nesbit, Forrest Vickery as Coma, and Tanner Kalina as Brumley.

Shit...a bunch of dudes on a baseball team living it up in college? This totally makes for a good Linklater movie!

      Everybody Wants Some!!, like some of Linklater's other films, doesn't have a story per se of the protagonist defeating the antagonist. It's a story about figuring out who you are. Everybody Wants Some!! takes place 3 days before classes start at a college in Texas. Jake, the new freshman on the baseball team, moves into the baseball house with his teammates. Then life in college during the 1980's goes on for the next 116 minutes: college parties with naked girls and guys, drinking tons of beer, smoking pot while having weird conversations, awesome fucking music, and finding yourself.

Good times required, bitches!

      Everybody Wants Some!! had been written shortly after Linklater's other coming-of-age movie Dazed and Confused, but never saw the light of day for some reason. Now that Linklater has credibility in the eyes of the academy, his movie is now a reality. Linklater knows how to create good characters even when there isn't much of a story to go by. Everybody Wants Some!! is basically a baseball team wanting to fuck and have fun, but there is also a quality about them that makes you want to follow their journey to getting laid. When a conversation about telepathy comes up (and mind you, it's the picture above and they're high as shit), it could turn some people off, but the writing shows its authenticity by showing what people are like (when they're high). Now obviously, conversations when high can vary, but that's besides the point. I have to praise the work that Linklater did because it seems to me that the hardest part of making this movie was to incorporate a likability to an otherwise plot-less movie. That's his thing though and he brings it hard to Everybody Wants Some!! for sure.

Linklater, you've done it again you fucking genius.

      Like Dazed and Confused, the comedy is spot-on in Everybody Wants Some!!. This is particularly due to the chemistry of the cast. Their scenes together feel so genuine and I can laugh at their competitiveness towards each other. This may sound really weird, but their frustration with losing is fucking hilarious. I shit you not, there is a game where you hold your hands out and flick your finger to your opponents knuckle until it starts to get really red or bleeding and the person who wants to stop because it hurts, loses. It's fucking weird, but it's also comedic genius to put it into a movie with testosterone filled college baseball players. This also goes without saying in a college movie consisting of guys trying to get laid and drink until they pass out, but the parties are also great. With every camera turn, there's always something going on that makes you laugh so hard that you piss your pants. One particular scene, which I won't spoil, involves a cat and a fridge. I was literally gasping for fucking air when I saw saw this!

Fucking Finnegan (right) will say anything to get into bed with a girl. We all know someone like that. Yeah, I'm talking about you, man. You know who you are haha!

      Strange to say that Everybody Wants Some!! isn't only about hooking up, drinking, drugs, and partying. It also has a lot of heart. The root of the film is life and figuring out what you want to do, who you want to be around and be with, and finding out who you are. Jake is the main character we follow throughout the running time of this movie and he brings a lot of the sweet moments of love and happiness. Him and Beverly are the lovebirds in Everybody Wants Some!! even though we don't see them together for the most part. Beverly, by the end, really grounds the party jock with a heartfelt conversation. Fuck it. Everybody Wants Some!! is basically the good times during a life in a nutshell.

Aw, how sweet! A beautiful moment between two individuals that gives the audience that heartwarming feeling...

...until Plummer says something really fucking stupid and entertaining about his dick being a joke.

      Everybody Wants Some!! is an immersive experience that allows you to follow realistically charming characters who have a fun time, whether that's fucking around with each other by calling them names and playing pranks or seeing them grow as a human. I can honestly say that this movie is probably going to end up being one of my favorite movies of the year. I have to mention quickly that the music is just phenomenal. I'm currently listening to a playlist with all of the songs in the soundtrack. Everybody Wants Some!! will be one of those movies that you watch in college and can watch over and over again still having as much fun as the first time you saw it. M-m-m-my Sharona!

 5/5

PRO

• Linklater's direction for realism
• The casts' chemistry with comedy and likableness
• Heart behind the madness
• Fucking kick-ass 80's music!

CON

• None

 

Everybody Wants Some!! is rated R for language throughout, sexual content, drug use, and some nudity
