Bored as Hell Cast

Another big holiday movie weekend with Bad Santa 2, Rules Don’t Apply, and Moana. Bad Santa 2 is a pale imitation of the first, but at least we get more Thurman Merman. Rules Don’t Apply is overstuffed and too long, but it’s great seeing Warren Beatty play crazy Howard Hughes. The best of the week is Disney’s Moana. Adam has a problem choosing between it and Kubo. Lin-Manuel Miranda, David Bowie, and Jermaine Clement.

You’re welcome!

It’s boxing and magical beasts as we review real-life comeback boxing story Bleed for This and Harry Potter spinoff Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Did it have to be Miles Tellar? Aaron Eckhart is great, though. If you like Harry Potter and old silent films, you’ll really like this, otherwise. . .

What a week, and a movie to go with it. Arrival is one of those movies where the less you know, the better it is, so we keep spoilers and plot to a minimum. But aliens show up, we have to communicate with them, so we get Amy Adams to do it. We both loved it, with Adam at a 10, and Andy at a 9.5.

Marvel gives us its 14th movie, and it is spectacular. The visuals are like nothing you’ve seen before, and the performances are phenomenal. Go see this in IMAX 3D. The Asian whitewashing controversy.  We both like this a lot.

Happy Halloween! Eat your gross, nasty vegetables with boring Inferno and then stick around for the second half of Trolls because the first half is boring. If you need a last minute suggestion of what to watch on Halloween, try Blade II or Hellboy, both of which are directed by Guillermo Del Toro and star Ron Perlman and are perfectly spooky.  Also, why you should see Doctor Strange in IMAX.

We’re back with a couple of inexplicable sequels. Adam called “Ouija: Origin of Evil” the candy corn of movies. And we were both unimpressed with “Jack Reacher: Never Go Back” but did like Cobie Smulders. Also, what horror movie stuck with you? The Ring and Paranormal Activity.

This week we saw Ben Affleck as The Accountant, which is kinda like Rain Man meets Jason Bourne. The Greasy Strangler also finally hit theaters, so we remember back to seeing it at Sundance and why it doesn’t deserve to be compared to John Waters movies. Also, our good friend Brooks Bird tells us about all of the releases by Arrow, who is kind of like the Criterion Collection for genre films.

We only saw The Girl on the Train this week, but we’re also going into the confession booth to share Halloween-themed movies we’ve never seen that we should have,

Adam has a sad because he hasn’t seen The Magnificent Seven or Storks. Andy has a sad because he has. Nah, not really. Storks is mediocre and boring. Why would you see anything but Kubo? And Magnificent Seven seems to have nothing to say except “pew pew!”
