The Brothers Grimsby / The Young Messiah / 10 Cloverfield Lane / The Perfect Match

The Brothers Grimsby:

Another typical Sacha Baron Cohen film.

Super immature and at times gross. Funny in spots but all around completely sophomoric. I like the guy but I cannot understand for the life of me, how he gets these big actors in these ridiculous films.

The Young Messiah:

I'm really liking these films. Regardless of your personal beliefs, these movies are pretty entertaining.

Sean Bean can't seem to find a role in which his character isn't going through some sort of personal conflict. Give the man a break!

Although this is a well known story throughout the world, the writer's have given us a snapshot into a time period not often discussed in Jesus' life. He and his family are essentially running for their lives but this film, at it's core, is full of heart. I can't say the writing was spectacular and the delivery of some lines were a little over the top but all in all, you won't hate it.

10 Cloverfield Lane:

I'm still having a tough time with this one. It was really bizarre.

You spend the entire film wondering if there's really a threat to the characters' lives and finally when the truth is revealed, shit gets cray.

I've never seen John Goodman in such an insane role! Yes, he's played a bad guy before and we all know he got nuts in The Big Lebowski, but this role was definitely some next level shit. He had you worried for the wellbeing of the other characters the entire film.

By the end of the film, you're left wondering if there is going to be a sequel and if so, what JJ and his team could possibly have in store for us. And, spoiler alert, you're going to leave still not knowing whether or not this has anything to do with Cloverfield so if there is a sequel, I hope that gets explained at the very least.

JJ sure does love his aliens....

The Perfect Match:

Pretty lame. The acting was nothing to write home about and the plot itself was super weak.

It featured a number of big-ish stars but sadly, even they couldn't deliver anything good with the lines they were given. Such cheese. Such forced drama. It is simply forgettable.
