As you can see around here there is much love for Sly and it was awesome to see him turn out three movies last year. This was released during a very crowded Christmas time and it did not do well its opening weekend against The Hobbit 2 and critics wrote it off as a bomb. It’s disappointing that any movie can be declared a financial failure within two days of its theatrical release as I think that may deter the average moviegoer from seeing something. Anyway this was sold as a comedy (think Grumpy Old Boxers) but this is more of a drama with Alan Arkin and Kevin Hart providing some comic relief to it. Sly and De Niro play off each other great and most of the training sequences show case De Niro more than Stallone I guess because we have been watching that for almost 40 years now. Also stars the beautiful Kim Basinger and The Walking Dead’s Jon Bernthal. Give this movie a spin; I think you will like it.
I still have not watched the first Hobbit so now I have six
hours of Hobbit catching up to do sometime.
The first trilogy did not exactly blow my pants off so putting away
three hours to watch the first prequel is being laborious. I will get caught up some time.
A look at the lives of the strong-willed women of the Weston
family, whose paths have diverged until a family crisis brings them back to the
Oklahoma house they grew up in, and to the dysfunctional woman who raised them. Features some great actresses so may give
this a spin sometime.
Why not? Just for the
title alone. Is Danny Trejo the hardest
working man in Hollywood? This guy comes
out with a new DTV title every other week and I know he is in at least 2 TV
series right now as well.
The first one sucked so I did not make the mistake of seeing
the others, pass.
