VOYAGERS MOVIE REVIEW

TEENS….IN….SPAAAAAACCCCCE. Sigh. Look, you know “Lord of the Flies”, right? Director Neil Burger’s new take on this is, what if Earth was dying and humanity sent a (ONE?) ark into space filled with pre-teens and Colin Farrell, on an 86 year voyage to another hopefully habitable planet? And what if there was no space-sleep like in “Alien” or whatever, and they had to function day-to-day, and sire another generation, and then ANOTHER generation who would be the ones who ended up being the colonists? And what if the one adult died and the kids, now in their late teens, decided to go off their meds that keep them from fucking everything? Well, you get the aforementioned movie, but IN SPAAAAACCCE. But is it any good? Chris, Jordan, Ben, and Bradly have some strong words for this film. We’re looking for a rolled up newspaper to hit it on the nose with.

Christopher Lawrence Cox (Founder, Da Boss)

Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, in 1992 Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas, where ever since he’s dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal” turned into a full-time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this paradise you see before you. Follow Chris on Twitter and Facebook and check out his Amazon Wish List.

 

Jordan Cobb (Screener Squad)

Born with a comic book in one hand, a camera in the other, and in front of the television as WrestleMania played out, Jordan Worth Cobb was thus birthed into this crazy world. A Digital Filmmaking major from the University of Central Arkansas, Jordan has done it all in film from directing, writing, editing, and producing in addition to skills involved in film and TV criticism, journalism, and years of podcasting experience. On any given day, her ADHD riddled brain bounces focus from film to pro wrestling to TV to superheroes to noir to video games to espionage and yes, even to sports. She played little league you know. For more of this eccentric nerd, you can follow her on Twitter here and read her original writings on Deepest Corners of My Notebook.
