I went back and forth about adding this film to my list. In
the end, it really did look kind of amusing.
It’s reminiscent of Junior
(1994), a film where Arnold Schwarzenegger (Aftermath,
Sabotage, The Expendables) plays a pregnant man. It’s not quite the same
thing, since good old Arnie played an adult and this film takes place in the
high school years of the main characters.
This film seems like what would have happened if Junior had been released on the Disney
channel as a TV movie. That’s not a terrible thing, I’ve enjoyed a few Disney
TV movies in my time.
I know very little about the cast of this movie and this is
the first full length feature film that the director and writer have worked on
in those specific credits. That makes this film a wild card. Depending on how
it’s handled, it could be hilarious; it could also be an eye-rolling
cringe-fest. We’ll see.

Lady Bloodfight looks
like an all (or mostly) female version of Mortal
Kombat (1995). It’s the same basic idea at the core.
The film seems to be based on a tournament of martial arts
fighters, though it’s not a fight for the world. In fact, it seems to be a
fight for something much more basic: money.
Despite the corny and somewhat badly acted reality of the Mortal Kombat movie, I rather enjoyed
it. At the very least I remember it fondly. That means seeing a trailer like
this one is incredibly nostalgic for me.
It does seem to take some paths that are unique to this kind
of storyline, however, and that makes it more interesting than it would seem
otherwise. I’m not sure I expect A-list kind of acting, but as B-movies go I
have relatively high hopes.

If you made Bring It
On (2000) a horror film, this is what it would have been. That alone kind
of intrigues me.
I really enjoy films like this that take a trope from
another genre and twist it to add a different spin.
Here we see the basic ‘cheerleaders rule the school’ trope
that’s in almost every teen drama or high school comedy ever created and it’s
used to really open the door to another perspective on it. That means that even
though the trope is well-known, it actually feels newer.
I’ll admit that Tara Reid (Sharknado, Last Call, Silent Partner) is a little hit-or-miss as an
actress. She’s her best when she’s in B-movies where she can just cut loose and
not worry about perfection. Worthless
seems to be more of a serious film, however, which means she might not do as
well as she could.
I’m still ready to keep an open mind.
17 – Lowriders

Genre: Drama
Rated: PG-13
Dramas aren’t usually my go-to films, unless they’re this
kind of gritty family-type drama.
When I tell people I grew up in Brooklyn, this tends to be
what they think about but they’re quite wrong. I grew up in a Hassidic
neighborhood and I spent my time with friends in Bensonhurst, which was
primarily Italian. If that sounds segregated that’s only because it is. Every
neighborhood in Brooklyn is known to belong to a specific group. If things
start to shift, it’s highly noticeable and talked about.
I can think of places in Brooklyn that resemble what is seen
in Lowriders, but that’s not the part
that fascinates me.
This film is a peek into a culture I know very little about
and involves a present father which, sadly, I also know very little about. I
feel like it could really expand my perspective on things by sitting down and
watching Lowriders. On top of that, I
hardly feel like I’d be bored watching it.
Also, I’m still a huge fan of Theo Rossi (Luke Cage, Sons of Anarchy, Bad Hurt).

Curtis Nichouls
Genre: Action
Rated: Unrated
This looks kind of like a powerless version of the Suicide Squad (2016). The premise is relatively
the same from what I can tell. We don’t really need another version of the Suicide Squad (unless they decide to release
a version that hasn’t been cut to all hell), but I do think that this kind of
part will be good for Cam Gigandet (Reckless,
4 Minute Mile, Easy A).
This is another film that can go either way. Either it can
be handled right and the creators can give it its own identity away from Suicide Squad or it could wind up being
basically a remake with less comic book characters. I’m hoping for the former,
obviously.

This film has no association with the Marvel hero. If that
film is coming, it’s not this month.
On the Netflix US YouTube page, they describe this film as
part reality, part savage parody… and I can’t help but notice that Brad Pitt’s
(Allied, The Big Short, 12 Years a Slave)
character looks a lot like General Mattis. I don’t know what parts of the story
are real and which are fake, but I’m amused at the prospect that some of it
might actually be a look into reality.
This film has a really good cast and a decent premise. I
don’t care if it’s true – fully or partially. I think with something like this
you need to take every fact you ‘learn’ in it with a grain of salt. There’s
bound to be a left or right leaning bias woven in by the writer. If you ignore
the politics, though, it should be an awesome watch.

Who hasn’t gotten to such a stressful point that they’ve
thought about just picking up and leaving?
I don’t mean thinking of leaving friends and family behind,
more like taking a vacation. This film examines the extreme version of that
where leaving the people one loves behind becomes an option. I expect it to be
an incredible tearjerker of a film. I also expect that it will be acted
flawlessly, which is something Bryan Cranston (SuperMansion, Power Rangers, Why Him?) is known for.
The writer/director, Robin Swicord (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Practical Magic, Matilda), is
responsible for some real masterpieces, as well. I think there’s very little
chance that this film will be less than amazing.

Genre: Thriller
Rated: R
Black Butterfly
looks like an awesome, original, straight-up thriller. It’s based off a French
film called Papillon Noir (2008). The
two films sound like something I would be looking forward to if it came up on
Netflix. I might search for the French film to add to our Foreign Film Friday
queue.
Sure, there are some base tropes that are utilized. The evil
hitchhiker, the woman who checks on the victim after a few days, the blocked
writer… and a few others. Really though, it’s kind of difficult to make a film
these days where you don’t hit on some kind of trope, regardless of how
original the story is.
The cast is experienced and has a lot of praise under their
belt, but the writers/director are relatively new to their specific positions.
I think the collective experience of the cast will help raise the bar for this
film.

Genre: Action,

Rated: R
Snatched looks
funny. Its got a raunchy feel to it that’s kind of cool. I have to admit,
though, I’d be a LOT more interested if Amy Schumer (Trainwreck, Inside Amy Schumer, Seeking a Friend for the End of the
World) wasn’t in it. I don’t hate her or anything, I’m just a smidge sick
of her. She’s a little boring to me at this point, not really sure why. Still,
I can’t deny that the movie looks pretty good and it has a cool premise to it.
As sick of Schumer as I am, though… I’m happy that I’m going
to get to see more from the director, Jonathan Levine (Warm Bodies, All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, The Night Before). I’ve
seen some of his stuff in the past and I think he’s good at what he does. I’d
like to see more in the future.

I experienced sleep paralysis – or something close to it –
exactly once in my life. I was laying on a couch, opposite my boyfriend at the
time. We were studying and I fell asleep because, to this day, I find Ernest
Hemmingway boring. In the dream, I kept waking up into the exact same dream
until I ‘woke up’ to see him on the other side of the couch, finally. I was
screaming for him to help me, and to wake me up (because I was aware I was sleeping
at that point) but he didn’t move because I wasn’t actually saying anything.
That stayed with me for a long time. Still sends a chill
down my spine when I think of it.
This film touches on that kind of phenomenon and I expect it
to be blood-curdling.

Actors: Aaron
Taylor-Johnson, John Cena, Spencer Thomas, Laith Nakli
Genre: Drama,
Thriller
Rated: R
I love war films like this. There are few, if any, fancy
explosions. There are very little in the way of computer effects. It’s just a
couple of soldiers, a sniper, and the bare face of mortality. In my opinion,
films like this are hundreds of times more frightening than any other movie.
Watching movies like The
Wall, I get a knot in my stomach. I’ve had a lot of friends that have been
over-seas and the idea of any of them being in such a hopeless situation sends
chills up my spine. Even those that have just been acquaintances.
I don’t always like the idea of wrestlers making the
transition into films. I mean, there are some that make it, like Dwayne Johnson
(Moana, Ballers, Furious 7), but
there are some that try and wind up being complete and total failures, like
Paul Levesque (Warrior: The Ultimate
Legend, The Chaperone, Blade: Trinity). Watching Triple H in anything not
WWE-related is just… painful. However, I feel like this kind of film could be a
great vehicle for John Cena (Sisters,
Trainwreck, The Reunion). He’s got the right look and is familiar with that
kind of soldier-esque personality. I’d definitely believe it.
I hope he lives up to expectations.

A LOT of the movies that are coming out this month are
stories that remind me of other films. In this case, I’m reminded of the Forbidden Kingdom (2008). Now, although
a lot of critics kind of shat on that film, I really enjoyed it. It’s a guilty
pleasure of mine and I can watch it over and over again. I can’t really explain
why, but it doesn’t matter. Point is, I love it.
Enter the Warrior’s
Gate looks like a version of the Forbidden
Kingdom where the main character isn’t obsessed with films, but video
games.
I’m not all too familiar with the cast in this one, which
would normally make it a wild card for me… except I’m very familiar with the
creators. Director Matthias Hoene (Trigger
Point, Beyond the Rave, Tower Block) is still a little green, but his work
includes Cockneys vs. Zombies (2012),
which is a film both Cat and I adored when we watched it for Trust the Dice. I
have stated that I have high hopes for him in the future. I stick by that
statement.
The writers make up for Hoene’s inexperience with a list of
credits that anyone could be proud of. Luc Besson (Taxi, Taken, The Big Blue) is known for writing amazing stories and
characters, like those used for The Fifth
Element (1997) and Nikita
(2010-2013). Robert Mark Kamen (Gladiator,
Kiss of the Dragon, The Transporter) is known for writing some of the same
stories as Besson, but he’s also credited for writing the original Karate Kid (1984).
I highly doubt any of the creators could take this storyline
and do something unacceptable with it. I have significantly high hopes for this
film.

Admittedly, I’m less familiar with the Alien (1979) series than I should be. I’m interested, but I’ve seen
less than one would expect of me. I do want to see more of them, and I will
eventually.
In the meantime, it looks like Alien: Covenant could be fine if viewed as a stand-alone, which is
nice. Although sequels could elevate a previous film if made right, sometimes
it’s nice to have one that is made in the same universe but could be seen on
its own. As people grow and get older, new fan-bases are created and older ones
can fall behind if they don’t keep up with the times. This film could allow a
whole new generation of people to see and appreciate the Alien franchise films.

I thought the plot of this film was really interesting. I
want to know what disease the main character is afflicted with.
I’m not familiar with any of the actors, so I don’t know how
they would be able to handle the script for this kind of story. For all I know,
they might not have the acting chops to pull it off… but I am still so
intrigued by the trailer, and the idea of the film, that it feels worth the
risk.

Genre: Thriller
Rated: Unrated
This film is a fascinating idea. It goes into the lack of
humanity behind the use of drones in war and the revenge one person takes after
his family is killed by one.
I understand the use of drones on one hand, but on the
other… I know the internet. In agreement with drones, I can acknowledge that it
could save many lives of many soldiers that won’t have to go into dangerous
territory. However, without that face to face contact, without the judgment of
a human soldier, it’s hard to understand the humanity in the victims. Killing
isn’t easy because it shouldn’t be easy. It should only be done when necessary,
and well trained soldiers with eyes on a target could do it better than the cold
touch of a machine.
I like films that peek into this new kind of war technology.
Of course, I expect Sean Bean (Broken,
Legends, The Martian) to die, but who doesn’t?

Genre: Thriller
Rated: R
I almost didn’t recognize Teresa Palmer (Warm Bodies, Point Break, Kill Me Three
Times) in this trailer. She looks different than I’m used to, and she
certainly acts differently than in the previous films I’ve seen her in. I am
dying to see how she does in Berlin
Syndrome. It seems like an edge-of-the-seat kind of thriller with tons of
suspense. If she does well in it, that could mean spectacular things for her
career.
I’m really looking forward to it.

It’s absolutely impossible to not want to see a film with

I really didn’t watch Baywatch
(1989-2001) back in the day. To be honest, I didn’t even have any real interest
in this remake/reboot/sequel (whatever it is) film at first. My interest piqued
a little when Dwayne Johnson was tied to the project… but it was the trailer
that sealed the deal for me.
The trailer looks fucking hilarious. It looks so much better
than the booby-bouncing original series. If the series looked like THIS, I’d
have actually watched it!
If it didn’t look so good, it’d have likely made the list at
a higher number because I’ll follow Johnson to any film (phrasing)… but it’s as
high on my list as it is because the trailer really highlights just how his
specific brand of comedic acting is utilized.
