totes4totes Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Mary Poppins Returns I should say now that in my addition to my completely meaningless vendetta against Benedict Cumberbatch, Ryan Reynolds, and Bradley Cooper, I also irrationally do not like Lin-Manuel Miranda either. No reason. Except he's annoying. Anyway, Mary Poppins Returns is a completely unnecessary movie that felt like Disney going "well the original Mary Poppins is already live action so we can't remake it, so let's just make a sequel." And it was not great! While the original Mary Poppins is a combination of charismatic performances, impressive technology, and incredible songs, the new Mary Poppins feels like it was just trying to recreate all the same beats in a new movie. Like "Oh we got a clean up song, we got an animation song, we got a new Bert, we got new children, we got a new eccentric person." It just didn't feel very inspired and none of the songs are very good. I will say that Emily Blunt did the best she could filling Julie Andrews's very large shoes, but again Julie Andrews made this role iconic and was given much better material to work with. And while the original Mary Poppins was a bit of a behemoth at 139 minutes it feels like it earns all of those being well-paced and entertaining throughout. Mary Poppins at 131 minutes is a bore and feels like 30 minutes could have easily been cut from this movie. But also, the message of the original movie was kind of "f*ck the bank, feed the birds, donate to charity, your dad is wrong and needs to lighten up." And in this movie it's like "actually it turns out by saving your tuppence in the bank you get money which is good and giving to charity is bad because if you had given those tuppence to the bird woman you wouldn't be able to keep your house and your shares at the bank!"

aliasocfan Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Noah Petty!Anne would have cut The Young Adults just to see the bigger meltdown than cancelling the rankdown. Sane Anne feels a bit bad about actually taking out someone's top favorite this early. I guess I'll keep helping people out with save requests. This movie seems to be based off the story of Noah's arc. Except from the trailer it looks more like some kind of action movie? How odd. That already sounds boring and I have absolutely no interest in it. This comes from the Director of Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler and Black Swan. Come on man! I guess he is very hit or miss. Back to the actual movie, this movie has an impressive cast. It has Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connolly, Anthony Hopkins and Emma Watson. Still 100% have no interest in watching. Please try again later.

Deeee Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Central Intelligence (2016 dir. by Rawson Marshall Thurber)\ I saw this movie in theaters because my dad really wanted to watch it for some reason. The movie is not funny. I also dislike Kevin Hart with a passion. There are so many personal reasons for me to cut this film! Everybody else in the theatre laughed though, so I guess most people found the movie funny. I am all for stupid humor, but my hatred for Kevin Hart prevents me from laughing at his obnoxious voice. The film currently has a 71% on Rotten Tomatoes and 52 on Metacritic. The film received mixed reviews overall, with critics citing the script + plot as being pretty horrible, but praise The Rock and Kevin Hart for their comedic chops and on-screen chemistry. The film grossed $217 million on a $50 million budget, which is a pretty good indicator that enough people buy into The Rock and Kevin Hart to have seen this movie. The film also stars Amy Ryan, Aaron Paul, Danielle Nicolet, Timothy John Smith, Megan Park, Thomas Kretschmann, Jason Bateman, and Kumail Nanjiani. None of whom are important really because the film is all about the two stars. I sound really bitter, so I will stop my write-up here. Oh, the movie is about The Rock portraying a CIA agent that was previously bullied in high school for being fat, but of course he becomes the gorgeous hunk that he is today over twenty years. He reaches out to Calvin Joyner, portrayed by Hart, who was the popular athlete back in high school, under the false identity of Bob Stone. Joyner is now a forensic accountant in a struggling marriage, and Stone asks Joyner for help looking into some accounts. Little does he know that he is helping Stone look into some pretty big illegal auction rings and that Stone is on the run from the CIA after being framed for his former partners murder. Stone and Joyner get into a bunch of chaos while on-the-run and trying to solve this case. The end. SAVING: The Good Dinosaur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Rei Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 The Best Man Holiday I'm choosing to cut The Best Holiday Man cause is the only film out of the remaining nominees that I do not know by name and it doesn't seem to be a cut that anybody would miss. The Best Holiday Man is a 2013 comedy drama film and a sequel to the 1999 film The Best Man. The movie stars Morris Chesnut, Taye Diggs, Reginal Hall, Terrence Howard, Sanaa Lathan, Sia Long, Harold Perrineau, Monica Calhoun and Melissa De Sousa all reprising the roles from the original film. The plot revolve around the college friends who reunite again after 15 years over the Christmas holidays, as they discover just how easy it is for long-forgotten rivalries and romances to be reignited. After watching the trailer, the film looks fun and something I might enjoy, it also has an stellar cast and I could always watch me some shirtless Taye Diggs. The movie made $72M against a budget of $17M, so it was a success in the box office. The film also has a Tomatoscore of 71% and a Metascore of 59/100 which are fine too. Hopefully this is not a favorite of anyone. Saving Wonder cause I thought BGF was a different movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NGM Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Spectre Bond movies are hit or miss for me, and that rings especially true for the Daniel Craig era (I liked Casino Royale and Skyfall, didn't like Quantum of Solace and this one, let's see how No Time To Die ends up for me). The movie was also directed by Sam Mendes (who also directed Skyfall for the franchise) and has a few returnees from the MI6 team that supported Bond in Skyfall (Q, Eve Moneypenny, the new M) as well as a new set of villains represented by SPECTRE and Ernst Stavro Blofeld (played by Christoph Waltz). The film currently holds the distinction of the most expensive Bond movie. It also won an Academy Award for Writing's On The Wall, which was a meh song but that year had nothing to contend with it, so I don't really mind. The Radiohead song for the movie was way better, they could have used that and put Sam to sing it tbh. Anyway this is enough for the movie.
