Summer 2017 Wrap Up

My posts haven't been nearly as frequent as I intended them to be. Honestly ever since I graduated things have felt in free fall and I guess my hobby (being thins blog) has suffered because of it. Baby steps to get everything in order but that hasn't stopped me from seeing movies so here is an update:

Alien Covenant (3/5)
Not as ambitious or provocative as Prometheus but still a ideal way to sate a thirst for heady Sci-Fi horror.

Spider-Man: Homecoming (3/5)
John Hughes inspired reboot delivers fresh take even though its best ideas are consolidated to its opening and closing acts.

War For the Planet of the Apes (5/5)
Personally driven war epic cuts out the war to create one of the leanest and most brutal Science Fiction films in years.

Dunkirk (3/5)
A technically masterful motion picture...just don't expect to remember names.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (1/5)
Character and dialogue, Mr. Besson, those are more important then what we see on screen.

The Emoji Movie (1/5)
Soulless what did you expect...better then Despicable Me 3 though.

Logan Lucky (3/5)
Dry at times but who can turn down a heist with great characters?

Leap (1/5)
Wow, so Emoji movie isn't even the second worst animated film of the year.

Home Again (1/5)
I haven't like any of miss Myers works so far, unfortunately the streak continues with her daughter.

American Assassin (2/5)
The first 30 minutes are great! The next 90...not so much.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle (1/5)
Biggest Disappointment of the Year

The Lego Ninjago Movie (2/5)
Easily the worst Lego movie so far but, much like Power Rangers, better then it had any right to be.
