“Game Night” - The premise of this dark comedy is the question, “What would happen if an actual crime occured during a “murder mystery “ party?
Unfortunately, the plot is so unbelievable that the characters in the film are calling out the problems as they come up. The heroes come across as self absorbed and inconsiderate. Unfortunately, without any sympathy for the protagonists, I found myself rooting for the bad guys. There is however, one interesting character in the movie, the divorced cop who lives next door to the heroes. He’s quirky enough to steal the show, but I recommend that folks wait a few more weeks when this movie is free on tv to see it.

I give it three bags of Tostitos scoops out of ten. If you do see it in the theatre, enjoy all the end credits, including a bonus gag at the close.

Most people are.

Movie goers often do.

Well, I have to do that anyway.

Oh, I like those. Last time I watched Lady in the Lake I forgot to watch the closing credits for who played the nonexistent character.

Lady in the Lake.
Chrystal Kingsley, the supposed Lady in the Lake, who never appears was played by Ellay Mort which is Elle est mort or "She is dead".

A Wrinkle in Time is a Disappointing Mess

But it has Opie, our next president,
who can't act. How could it fail.

Damn. I had very high hopes for this movie. Will still have to see it.

Disagree about Oprah not being able to act. I thought she was very good in both The Color Purple and The Butler.

I've never seen a movie she starred in
all the way through, she literally puts
me to sleep. The purple one, what did
she weigh, 400 pounds? Astoundingly
hard to watch.

Big Lebowski came out 20 yrs ago
One of my all time favorite movies
This is the reason I ignore EB posting bad reviews of movies he has not seen.
The Big Lebowski got terrible reviews and did not do good initial business
Yet its a masterpeice
Dont diss a movie till you see it
Yea, well, you know, thats, like. Your opinion man :-)

Movies. I remember one time shifting and point of view shifting movie about a friend doing drugs and being abandoned on a beach in some tropical isle. Between all the literary and film tricks being used and the film being in Portugese or something, I didn't understand a moment of it but I sure did learn that Brazilian women were beautiful. Great film for that, though I couldn't figure out whether it was a pro drug film or an anti drug film.
