Saw 3 movies since Sunday. A bad one, an ok one and an almost good one.
BAD - Action Point
I was hoping since I loved Super Troopers 2 that I could find another low rated comedy I'd enjoy. I was wrong. Some of Johnny's stunts were fun but the movie was awful. 2/5
OK - Adrift
Shailene Woodley and some British guy act out the real life story of a sailboat that got caught in a hurricane in the 80's and then was adrift at sea with them on it for like 2 months. It was ok. There was a twist that was nice but kinda obvious. Some heartstrings emotional stuff that was sweet too. Really the highlight of the movie was Shailene's nipples. They were on display more or less every time she was on screen. Even when she was dying on the boat it was still kinda hot. And she did a topless scene too which was nice. I wasn't expecting that from a PG-13 movie. 3/5
See what I mean:
Almost Good - Upgrade
Man I was hoping to love this one. I went into it thinking it would be the 4th movie I add to my 2018 top 5. But it was a disappointment. I remembered Meme saying it wasn't good and was hoping to disagree with him. My favorite movie reviewer loved it and I usually agree with that guy (Anderson Cowan) but not this time. Meme was right. It took too long to get going, a lot of the plot was kinda dumb, and once again the twist was silly and predictable. There was some parts I really liked though. A lot of the fights were cool and there was one awesomely brutal killing. The way they shot the fights was neat. And the very end second semi-twist was ok. 3.5/5
So my top 5 of 2018 list still only has 3 spots filled so far:
1. Annihilation
2. Super Troopers 2
3. A Quiet Place
Now that the summer is ending it's time for a slow month or two and then a ramp up towards Oscar season. I wonder what will come along next to fill the last 2 spots or even bump some of the 3 off the list? I doubt A Quiet Place will make it through to the end of the year.
