Ready Player One (2018)
This movie is rated PG-13 with a runtime of 140 minutes and it was released March 29, 2018 in US theaters.
Storyline:
In the year 2045, the real world is a harsh place. The only time Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) truly feels alive is when he escapes to the OASIS, an immersive virtual universe where most of humanity spends their days. In the OASIS, you can go anywhere, do anything, be anyone-the only limits are your own imagination. The OASIS was created by the brilliant and eccentric James Halliday (Mark Rylance), who left his immense fortune and total control of the Oasis to the winner of a three-part contest he designed to find a worthy heir. When Wade conquers the first challenge of the reality-bending treasure hunt, he and his friends-aka the High Five-are hurled into a fantastical universe of discovery and danger to save the OASIS.

March 16, 2018 Leprechaun 2 & Final Mission (1994) VHS Movie Review
Leprechaun 2 & Final Mission (1994) VHS Movie Review
This week Matt and Steve breakdown a double promo tape of both Leprechaun 2 and Final Mission from Trimark Pictures. Trimark Pictures no longer exist after they merged with Lionsgate in 2000.
Leprechaun 2 Film Details
-Leprechaun 2 has a runtime of 85 minutes and was released on April 8, 1994. The tagline for this movie was “This time…luck has nothing to do with it”.
-Directed by Rodman Flender and he has directed Idle Hands (1999), Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop (2011) and Roger Corman’s The Unborn (1991).
-Based on characters by Mark Jones and written by Turi Meyer and Al Septien which both went on to be writers and producers on Smallville by the WB and The CW.
-Starring Warwick Davis as the Leprechaun. Warwick Davis has played characters such as the Ewok Wicket from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Willow and Professor Filius Flitwick and Griphook in the Harry Potter films.
-Leprechaun 2 had a budget of around 2 million dollars, grossed $2.3 million in the US Box office and grossed over $5 million worldwide.
Leprechaun 2 Box Art Breakdown
-Matt breaks down the VHS box and tells us about the Leprechaun’s hand flap that wraps around the VHS box art.
-He then describes the VHS box art and reads all the promo tapes advertising details.
-Next Matt reads the synopsis of the film on the back of the VHS box.
Leprechaun 2’s Trailers and Promos
-We start with a film called Trading Mom from 1994 starring Sissy Spacek and why we would never watch it.
-Next we mock the energy of the executive talking about Leprechaun and listen to more of the promo.
Leprechaun 2 Notes
-Movie starts in 1894, is this a prequel? Is this the same Leprechaun?
-What’s the story behind the 3 sneezes? Why does he choose 1000 years?
-Ripping the bums tooth out was gross and narly
-Uncle Morty is a blast, one of our favorite drunken con artist
-Wow, Clint Howard is in this?!?
-Uncle Morty tries to sell everyone his franchise
-Ian gets sliced and diced by a lawn mower when he tries to motor boat Bridget’s boobs which is clearly someone else’s boobs
-Morty and Cody go to a bar, that is filled with little people dressed as leprechaun’s for St. Patrick’s Day. Cody is given a piece of chocolate in a gold wrapper by a weird little person played by the famous Tony Cox of Bad Santa. Morty challenges the Leprechaun to a drinking contest and Morty cheats to win by drinking water. The Leprechaun bashes Morty in the head and gets away.
-The Leprechaun has to sober up at a coffee shop and takes time to kill a waiter by melting his face off after he ask him to pay. The waiter is played by Michael McDonald of Mad TV.
-Morty and Cody find a giant Iron safe and trap the Leprechaun in it. Morty ask for his wishes, then wishes for the Leprechaun’s gold and the Leprechaun tricks him by putting the pot of gold in Morty’s stomach. The Leprechaun then slices him open to get it out and kills Morty.
-The Leprechaun kills the security guard by running him down in a really cool looking Leprechaun custom go-kart that is covered in spikes. We find out Cody can’t be hurt because he has the Leprechaun’s gold coin.
-We talk about the Leprechaun’s tree lair and it’s magical appeal. Cody tricks the Leprechaun with the chocolate coin and kills him with an iron bar. The Leprechaun explodes in a wonderful 90’s animation explosion. Cody and Bridget survive!

March 09, 2018 Death Wish (2018) Movie Review
Welcome to Analog Jones and the Temple of Film. We are breaking down the 2018 remake of Death Wish with special guest Alex Vazquez.

Directed by Eli Roth, Roth has directed such movies as Cabin Fever and Hostile.
Produced by Roger Birnhaum and he has produced many remakes as The Magnificent Seven, RoboCop and Footloose.
The Characters from this film were based on the original novel by Brian Garfield and the original film in 1974 by screenwriter Wendall Mayes.
The original screenplay was done by Joe Carnahan but he left the project in Feburary of 2013 because of creative differences.
Starring
Bruce Willis as Dr. Paul Kersey, he's a surgeon in this film, not an architect like the previous five films.
Vincent D'Onofrio as Frank Kersey, Paul's brother with a criminal record.
Dean Norris as Detective Kevin Raines, the main detective in his wife's murder case.
Kimberly Elise as Detective Leonore Jackson, Detective Kevin Raines partner throughout the film.
Mike Epps as Dr. Chris Salgado, a close friend to Dr. Paul Kersey and barely in the film.
Elisabeth Shue as Lucy Rose Kersey, the wife of Dr. Paul Kersey and the sacrificial lamb for this film.
Camila Morrone as Jordan Kersey, the daughter of Paul and Lucy Kersey, most of the film she's in a coma.
Movie Notes
-Bruce Willis is sleepwalking through this film
-The crown at the movie theater is white trash
-Mike Epps is his black friend, what a surprise
-Does anyone care that Lucy is dead?
-The conservative's wet dream begins
-Why isn't Vincent D'Onofrio is this film more?
-This movie does not choose a side

Behind the Scenes
-Sylvester Stallone wanted to originally do this remake in 2006 but it ended in 2009
-Joe Carnahan wrote the first script and had planned on directing it but left in 2013 because of creative differences. He had planned on having Liam Neeson and Frank Grillo star in his version.
-Gerarado Naranjo had been rumored to direct and wanted to cast Benicio Del Toro but this version never came to fruition
-Eli Roth came in March 2016 and got this movie rewritten and directed quickly
-Filming for this movie took place in Chicago, Illinois, Montreal and Quebec, Canada
-The original release of this movie was supposed to come out in November 22, 2017 but was pushed back to March 2, 2018 because of the mass shooting in Las Vegas in October 1, 2017

Overall we all gave this movie a pass. Wait for it on DVD/Blu-Ray or streaming.
