Five Word Review!

It's been quite a while since I've done one of these and, since I've seen a few movies over the past few months, I figured I'd have some decent material to work with.

If you're not familiar with the format, it's simple. I tell you what I thought of a movie I've recently seen using only five words.

See, told you it was simple.

Now, onto the movies....

Kingsman:The Secret Service

Good story,way too violent.

Avengers: Age of Ultron

Another home run by Marvel.

Tomorrowland

Could've been fun.Clooney's terrible.

San Andreas

More cheese than dairy factory.

Jurassic World

Star Lord meets dinos....meh.

Inside Out

Cute story, better than expected.

Ant Man

Small package, but big fun.

While I'll readily admit that my wife drug me to a few of these, most of them were of my own choosing, so I have no one to blame but myself.....and, possibly, my brother in law. We'll just leave it at that, shall we?

I hope you all have an enjoyable weekend and take care.

Another Five Word Review Post!

Having a wife who enjoys going to the movies has me seeing quite a few of them. The good thing is, we share a lot of the same tastes in films, so I can't complain too much......and she doesn't mind going to matinees.

So, seeing as how we've made a few more trips to the movie house, I figured this was a good a time as any for another "Five Word Review" post.

So, here it is....the Five Word Review, comin' right at you! (With apologies to The New Zoo Review)

In no particular order....

1. X-Men: Days of Future Past: Lots of fun, worth seeing.

2. Muppets Most Wanted: This one was least wanted.

3. I, Frankenstein: Interesting concepts, but poorly executed.

4. Kick Ass 2: I'd replace "kick" with "suck".

5. Pacific Rim: Love giant robots....this...meh.

6. Transformers: Age of Extinction: Prime riding Grimlock....'nuff said!


As always, with any "review"....regardless of word count....your mileage may vary, so always check out a film for yourself before taking anyone else's word.

Who knows, you may just find a gem that you really enjoy.....or the reviewer could be right ;)

The Five Word Review!

My disdain for 'Modern Hollywood' isn't really a big secret. Ask anyone who has ever brought up the subjects of movies to me and they can tell you how I feel.

To be honest, I think Hollywood is a vast wasteland of empty ideas and unending retreads. The worst part being, the assembly line, cookie cutter, manner in which these things are made and the astronomical amounts of money, some the GDP of a small nation, spent to ensure we put our rears in the seats.

That said, I still continue to frequent the movie house.

Sometimes it's because a friend or loved one is interested in seeing something. Other times, it's because something actually grabs my attention and I want to go see if there's any substance there or just a small nation's GDP being put to devious use.

In the past nine or so months, I've been averaging about a movie a month. Again, some weren't my choice, but others were. Now, usually, I'll put a little 'review' of the most recent movie I've seen up on my other blog, but then got to thinking.....why do a whole post about one movie when just a few words will do?

With that in mind, I give you some Five Word Reviews.

1. Hansel and Gretel: Save money...watch Van Helsing.

2. G.I. Joe: Retaliation: Still liked the first better.

3. Olympus Has Fallen: Two hours down the drain.

4. Man of Steel:  Still good...even with Costner.

5. The Lone Ranger: Just need one word.....terrible.

6. Oz the Great and Powerful: Truly entertaining and no singing!

7. R.I.P.D: Fun flick, Reynolds still sucks.

8. The Wolverine: A big disappointment...'nuff said!










So, how many of these have you seen? Would your thoughts echo mine....even in this diminished format?

Hope you all have a great week!
