Did I watch this for Michael McElhatton? Yes. Did I regret my decision? No. Onwards!
Movies
Kelly Likes Logan Lucky (2017)!
... Wait, there's ANOTHER Gleeson!? Are they the Skarsgards of Ireland or something?
Kelly Doesn’t Like Troy (2004) as Much as She Did!
There are some hammy moments that work really well here. However, there is a limit to how much ham one should eat while making a movie- Troy not only made itself a huge ham sandwich but also added lots and lots of cheese.
John Really Liked but Had Issues with Ready Player One
I guess it’s also pretty realistic that gamers would be more up in arms about their favorite game than society at large.
Kelly Had a Great Time with Ready Player One (2018)!
I have lots of questions about OASIS' translation of IRL abilities. Am I supposed to believe everyone knows kung fu in 2045?
John Really Liked Logan Lucky
This film could have easily gone down as “Oceans 11 but with rednecks” but aims for something more grounded and mature.
Kelly Loves the Non-Robot Parts of Pacific Rim (2013)!
Get ready for this weekend's release, Pacific Rim: Uprising, with the Jaeger OGs: Luther and Jax Teller!
John Likes A Wrinkle in Time
All in all, A Wrinkle in Time is a flawed passion project by an ambitious filmmaker.
Kelly Absolutely Loves Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)! Yes, really!
In honor of Tomb Raider's release later this week, we've caught up with 2001's Lara Croft Tomb Raider! Dropkicks, a motorcycle-tailspin-knockout, drive-by pistol whips, bungee jump fights, screwdriver guns, and trachea chops. Where else but in a video game movie would any of this be acceptable!?!? LET US REVEL IN THE GLORY.
Kelly Dislikes 85% of Silent Hill (2006)!
In honor of the new Tomb Raider movie out this week, we are watching lots of video game movies! ... We might regret this decision. We think Sean Bean might also regret this decision. Silent Hill is generally received as “one of the better ones” when it comes to video game movies. Note to self: “One of the better ones” really lowers the bar for this genre.
