INTERCEPTOR MOVIE REVIEW

Today we have a “Try Hard” film starring Elsa Pataky as Cpt. J. J. Collins (J. McClane) and Luke Bracey as Alexander Kessel (H. Gruber). Kessel has taken over “Interceptor,” a missile defense system that protects ‘Merica, while terrorists have seized a group of intercontinental missiles, aimed at all of the most popular, US, cities. With limited resources available, J. J. must survive to make sure the United States doesn’t become dust. Jena, T.C., Lewayne, and Chad discuss the good/bad/ugly that takes place in Interceptor. Side note: the Chris Hemsworth cameo makes it worth the watch.

Chad Halvorsen (Screener Squad)

Chad Halvorsen currently resides in Milwaukee, WI, where he produces and edits commercials, films, and everything in between. He was always a fan of film/television growing up, spending days in the Summer, making (terrible) home movies with his brothers. Little did he know that passion would carry on into adulthood. Since 2006, Chad has worked for several agencies in various departments. Shooting, producing, editing, production management, directing, and when forced to, writing copy. In 2015, Chad decided to take the big leap and become a freelancer. Since then, he’s produced content for Lyft, AT&T, Target, and Discovery Network. His passion lies in entertaining people, making them feel better, even for a moment. All the pain and suffering of this business is worth it, if even just one person views his work. Chad is a frequent podcaster, most notably posing as a co-host for the podcast “The Film Illogical Society.”

 

 

Jena Perry (Screener Squad)

Jena Perry. Aka Luna. Aka Dion. Aka Memori. Aka Dog whisperer. Aka whiskey connoisseur. As you can see, depending on when you met this Oakland, California native, you have experienced a completely different person, each time. After finally deciding on a 13+year career choice as a Videographer and Radio Personality, Jena balances her time between pursuing her Doctorate in Philosophy, providing insightful and funny critiques on films and Television, raising her daughter and dog in Ohio, and constantly fighting off the existential dread that is being a dope black woman in America in the 20th century.
