Cargo (2017)
I.M.D.B. After an epidemic spread all over Australia, a father searches for someone willing to protect his daughter. Good. Strong performance by Freeman carries a decent zombie movie. Enjoyable. 8/10 https://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/M...82,268_AL_.jpg |
Solo: A Star Wars Story
7/10 https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...ory_poster.jpg IMDB: "During an adventure into the criminal underworld, Han Solo meets his future copilot Chewbacca and encounters Lando Calrissian years before joining the Rebellion." It's fairly bland and unimaginative in general. The story picks up some momentum in the last 40 mins. It feels like the film must dutifully fill in the Star Wars Han Solo cannon (what the previous Star Wars story said happened). The story makes a horrible blunder in taking on emancipation of robots... a ridiculous story and unwelcome diversion... which actually stumbles into being insulting to actual emancipation and civil rights movements of humankind. When the film made light of the droid wanting droid emancipation, because the droid was eccentric and delusional, it was funny, when the film turned to pickup the torch, it dropped everything. |

Thoroughbreds (2017)
I.M.D.B. Two upper-class teenage girls in suburban Connecticut rekindle their unlikely friendship after years of growing apart. Together, they hatch a plan to solve both of their problems-no matter what the cost. Good movie. Enjoyable performances and interesting characters. Worth watching. Anton Yelchin's last movie :( 8/10 https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/...82,268_AL_.jpg |
Downrange (2017)
I.M.D.B. Stranded at the side of the road after a tire blowout, a group of friends become targets for an enigmatic sniper. I like director Ryûhei Kitamura. Versus is my favourite zombie movie ever made. Unfortunately, other than some good camera work and some fun gore, this movie wasn't particularly interesting. 6/10 https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/...82,268_AL_.jpg |
Deadpool 2
8/10 https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...l_2_poster.jpg Deadpool assembles a team to save a boy with supernatural abilities from a time traveling cyborg named Cable. Deadpool continues to be a fairly creative and humorous superhero film, full of parody, breaking the 4th wall, and a cord of genuine heart and goodness. The heart and goodness still comes through, though not as convincing as needed, nor quite as heartfelt as the prior film. Deadpool's concern for the boy is underdeveloped. I noticed Deadpool 2 makes a continuing joke where the Deadpool character mentions Cable as being "dark", and then peppers the film with Deadpool teasing Cable for being racist. The theatre audience was silent for almost every re-appearance of this bit, where otherwise there was plenty of laughter. |
Jailbreak (2017)
I.M.D.B. What started as a simple escort mission will soon turn to chaos as the prisoners of Koh Kla take over the prison grounds. A special task force [Jean-Paul Ly, Dara Our, Tharoth Sam] gets trapped in the prison will have to fight their way out for survival, to protect a key witness Weak story peppered with out-of-place humor, but this is a martial arts movie and not much more. The fight scenes are great, and this one is definitely recommended for choreographed fisticuffs enthusiasts. 7.5/10 https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/...82,268_AL_.jpg |
