Highs

A Quiet Place

Well, I guess people just could stay quiet about A Quiet Place as it showed this weekend it has some legs. In its second weekend making 32.6M, it managed to almost take the number one spot again against some pretty good competition. I don't blame people I personally sparked up again and went to see this in theaters one more time and had just as much fun with it the second time around. If you have not seen this movie I highly suggest you do, just remember, shhhhhh.

Truth or Dare

Although the movie was a downer to watch, Truth or Dare manages to do pretty well for itself in the box office. It isn't too hard for Jason Blum to break even on his movies and Truth or Dare was no different. The movie made 19M in its opening weekend, and with a budget of around 3 Mil its wasn't hard to earn its money back. The Friday 13th weekend helped this movie a lot, but I'm sure come next week the truth that this movie is no good will come out, and it might be on this list for another reason.



Downers 

Rampage 

It's sad to think that a movie starring Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson would be a downer in the box office, but when you look at Rampage you have to put it down here. With The Rock being fresh off of a box office monster in Jumanji, WB was hoping for some of that to rub off on their giant monster movie, but Rampage barely managed to come in at number one making 34.5 mil. A big blockbuster with a huge star barely beating a second-weekend movie is not a good sign, and with very strong competion coming in the next weeks this movie is gonna have to rampage the foreign markets if it wants to make its budget back.

Cargo (2018) - Netflix Movie Review

-

"Netflix decided they might as well try their luck in the zombie movie franchise, and it might have worked" Cargo is the newest Netflix original movie directed by Ben Howling and Yolanda Ramke and stars Martin Freeman as a man who is trying to survive a zombie apocalypse, until one day he is bitten and now has 48 hours to find a safe place for his young daughter before he turns into a zombie himself. The film takes an interesting and personal approach to the zombie apocalypse not really focusing on the zombies, but on martin freeman's character and his quest to find a safe place for his daughter. The premise sounds interesting enough, but could these directors make a fresh post-apocalyptic movie, or is this just another generic zombie movie that we will forget about? Well, let's see as I will give you all the highs and all the downers and overall tell you whether or not this movie is worth blazing and turning on Netflix for. Highs  Enter...

Overboard - Movie Review

-

"A remake of a movie that no one wanted, this should be good." Overboard directed by Gary Marshall stars Kurt Russell and..oh wait, sorry that's the wrong one. Overboard directed by Rob Greenberg stars Anna Faris and Eugenio Derbez and is a remake of the 1987 film that starred Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. The original movie focuses on a rich spoiled asshole heiress who goes overboard and gets amnesia and is tricked by Russell's character into believing she is his wife as repayment for her being an asshole to him. The remake follows a pretty similar story, almost beat for beat, but this time decided to switch the roles of course, or else it wouldn't be original. No one was really calling for this remake, hell not a lot of people even liked the original. So I was not looking forward to this movie. But could this movie surprise me and maybe even be better than the original or should this remake be thrown overboard? Highs Cas...

Adrift (2018)- Movie Review

"An inspiring true story of a woman lost at sea being brought to the big screen, well the sea could have kept this story" Adrift is directed by Baltasar Kormakur and loosely follows the real-life survival story of Tami Oldham, played by Shailene Woodley, and her lover Richard Sharp, played by Sam Claflin,  as they try to survive while stranded at sea after being hit by a massive storm. It was inevitable that Hollywood would turn this interesting story of survival into a movie, but just cause her true story was interesting doesn't mean they could make a movie that would be the same.  Did Kormakur manage to turn Tami's story of survival at sea into a worth wild film, or should Hollywood have just left this idea adrift at sea? Well, that's what you got me for to tell you all the highs and all the downers that I got from this film and let you know whether this film is worth a hit or a pass that might just blow your movie-goi...
