Disney's Christopher Robin
You know how the premise of Hook is that Peter Pan chose to grow up, and the movie takes place with a grown Peter? It's like that, but with Christopher Robin.
I see no reason for this movie to be bad. Who doesn't love Ewan McGregor, honestly? And Marc Forster is a good director.
Just like Peter Pan in Hook, adult Christopher Robin has his priorities a little bit out of order. He has been putting work above family. Pooh discovers this, and invites his friends to go with him into the real world to help Christopher.
Disney's Christopher Robin is rated PG for some action. It's probably good action too, Marc Forster once directed a James Bond film, don't you know.
The Darkest Minds
Leftovers from the YA adaptation genre.
I'm impressed. I thought the third Maze Runner movie was the last of them, but one more seems to have come through. You know the drill. You're a youth, you're special, you're the only hope for the future, etc.
In this one all the kids in the world either died or got superpowers. And the bad adults wrangled 'em all up and put them in internment camps, because they're big bad adults that you can't trust. Look for this one to flop epically. The good news is it supposedly only cost $34 million for Fox, and they pretty much didn't pay for any advertising, so it should make its money back.
The Darkest Minds is rated PG-13 for violence including disturbing images, and thematic elements.
Death of a Nation
I'm not crazy about Dinesh D'Souza. I'm not sure any of Trump's base(d) supporters are. He's more of a favorite among old school hardline republicans.
Dinesh D'Souza is the man behind "2016: Obama's America" and "Hillary's America". His style is too dramatic to appeal to people like me. We don't like narratives from the right or the left. That's why we like Donald Trump.
The idea behind Death of a Nation is drawing comparisons between Donald Trump and Abraham Lincoln. They both served during divisive times. Again, this is a little too dramatic of an angle, even for a hardcore Trump supporter like myself.
Death of a Nation is rated PG-13 for strong thematic material including violence/disturbing images, some language and brief drug use.
The Spy Who Dumped Me
The Spy Who Dumped Me is about a girl who was recently in a relationship with a CIA agent, and this compromises her so that bad people are now after her and her friend. As you may have guessed from the poster, it's an action comedy.
The Spy Who Dumped Me is rated R for violence, language throughout, some crude sexual material and graphic nudity.
You know, I am getting really sick of these hard R comedies.
