Bad News Bears (2005)
Is this a movie for kids or about kids???
My question is...is this a movie for kids or a movie about kids?? It seems that with so many children in it that it would be a movie for children. But the language and content seem to be more for adults but just about kids.. I don't understand why we create a movie for kids where they have to be 13 before they can watch it.
Christmas, Again (2014)
This will not put you in a festive mood but it will cause you to think
This film definitely wasn't festive but instead a pointed slice of reality. It was a bit boring and very depressing, and definitely low budget. It isn't a bad film, just be prepared for not a lot to happen.
It was really just a snapshot of a guy who is for the most part by himself selling Christmas trees on the streets of New York City for the last few weeks leading up to Christmas morning.
We learn that he was lamenting a very hard breakup of a past serious relationship. He meets a girl, who also seems to have a ton of problems of her own. His life is boring, mundane, and seeming at the moment, painful.
As I pondered the movie, it became clear that the writer and producer wanted us to realize that Christmas is not wonderful and magical for many. It is a time that seems to highlight and magnify how lonely and miserable some people can be. Christmas can really stink for some...if Christmas comes or not, you are still broke, you are still lonely, the sting of that breakup or a struggling marriage is still real, your cancer is still there, your emotional struggles did not leave...
The point is...people are broken regardless if we have a December 25th this year or not.
Failure to Launch (2006)
This movie was only ok...
I thought this movie was only ok. The two main characters had zero chemistry together and their feelings for each other simply wasn't believable.
