November is done. Boy was it underwhelming as far as movies are concerned. Let's see what we have this week.
1) Sleeping Beauty: A college student finds a new job and it's one that will forever change her.
The Good: There is nothing good about this.
The Bad: From what I read, this is a movie about sex workers and this woman getting repeatedly raped. Why don't you tell me what is good about this?
Final Thoughts: Don't. Stay away from this. Anyone with a human soul can't possibly be interested in sexual torture.
2) Shame: A man with sex addiction has his little sister move in. And this awakens all the pain of his childhood.
The Good: I normally like psychological thrillers.
The Bad: There's nothing here that grips me. Just another movie trying to exploit sex to hide a bad script.
Final Thoughts: If I want porn, I can watch porn. I don't need to sit through your movie for spank material.
3) Outrage: The life of a Yakusa gangster.
The Good: Gangland violence in a take-no-prisoners winner-takes-all type of lifestyle.
The Bad: I don't think this will be released in the US.
Final Thoughts: It's less of a story and more of a period piece. It's more about the Yakusa in general and how they are in different aspects of life. It's about immorality in a society that praises pride. I'd see it.
4) A Warrior's Heart: After his father dies, a youth becomes self-destructive but finds purpose in Lacross and his girlfriend.
The Good: blah blah blah
The Bad: How is this in any way original?
Final Thoughts: I'd be interested if I hadn't already watched The Mighty Ducks, Spiderman, The Sandlot, etc. All of them are great movies. Check them out instead.
5) Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy: It's spy vs spy with the backdrop of the cold war when a disgraced secret agent is hired to find a double agent in MI-6.
The Good: Gary Oldman and Colin Firth. These guys in an action movie is bound to be good.
The Bad: Might fall into the same trap as The Debt and have too much story and not enough time.
Final Thoughts: This might be the must see movie this week. Check it out.
See you at the movies!
