"The biggest movies that might be worth your time blazing to see this weekend"



This week we have a few different types of movies that are opening up for us to enjoy. We have an original feeling action movie, a romantic survival story, and a Jackass type comedy that will give us many options to blaze and go see this weekend. Here are the highlight movie opening that you should know about.

Upgrade


Directed by: Leigh Whannell Starring: Logan Marshall-Green, Betty Gabriell Rotten Tomato Score: 85%

My highlight opening of this weekend goes to Upgrade. It follows Gery Trace after a near-death experience takes away his ability to move, and kills his family. He decides to undergo an experimental computer chip program that grants him the ability to walk again along with a bunch of new abilities that will allow him to take vengeance on the people who hurt him and took the life of his wife. This movie looks like a fun action movie that doesn't try to copy the superhero genre that everyone else is trying to do now. Heres hoping this movie is as good as it looks. (PS no that isn't Tom Hardy in the movie)

Adrift 


Directed by: Baltasar Kormakur Starring: Shailene Woodly and Sam Claflin Rotten Tomato Score: 57%

Adrift is based on the true story of survival of Tami Oldham time lost stranded at sea after being hit by a massive storm along with her lover Richard Sharp. The story is all inspiring and was bound to get the big screen treatment.  If you like movies such as Castaway and Life of Pie this might be something that interests you. Is it as good as those movies though well that's a whole nother story.

Action Point


Directed by: Tim Kirkby Starring: Johnny Knoxville, Derek Freda, John Altschuler  Rotten Tomato Score: N/a

Action Point is the latest movie for Johnny Knoxville to try to kill himself in. The story will follow Knoxville as an owner of an amusement park that has hit hard times. So in order to increase attendance, he decides to get rid of rules and make all his rides as fast, fun and dangerous as possible to get people excited. This movie is pretty much just going to be a bunch of real stunts, so if you like seeing people hurt themselves for laughs, this might be the movie for you.

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...
