Gringo



Gringo is an ok movie. I totally had the wrong expectations from the trailer that has been playing.

The trailer makes it appear that this is a dark comedy. The comedy is rather lacking for me. I think one scene got a laugh in the theater I was in…except for one person laughed the whole movie.

Harrold, aka the Gringo, is basically shit upon for the bulk of the movie. This movie happens to him until the final reel.

I do think I would rate this higher if I hadn’t gone in expecting more comedy.

Starring: Joel Edgerton, Charlize Theron, David Oyelowo, Amanda Seyfried

Pets of the Week March 12, 2018

Gavin is a most lovable dog. He’s extremely smart and playful, with enough energy to make sure your whole family gets plenty of exercise. He’s a handsome 2-year-old, medium-sized Australian Kelpie-Shepherd mix whose unique black coat is accented with white, all on his face, chest, and feet, and a light brindle on his muzzle, legs, and the tips of his ears. Gavin is a bit of a flirt, always willing to make new girlfriends, as long as they can keep up with his high-intensity play. His greatest love is squeaky toys, but don’t think you’re going to get him to play fetch; he’d much rather chase whatever you throw and keep it all for himself. Meet him to appreciate his full appeal.

Vera is an independent woman. Or feline, if you prefer. This is one kitty who knows her mind, and she isn’t afraid to speak it. A beautiful girl, she flaunts a crisp white coat, highlighted with coal black markings on her side, near her tail, and across her ears and the top of her head. She’s 3 years old, so she’s grown out of that high-energy kitten stage and has settled comfortably into her adult personality. If cats started a feminist movement, Vera would probably sign up right away, because she strongly believes in getting attention only when she wants it. She’s hoping to find a home with someone who understands cats and will love her for the strong, free lady that she is.

Game Night



Game Night was a fun watch. IT was a good watch once comedy. Not sure how it will hold up on any rewatches.

Max and Annie are obsessed with games. We get an intro montage of them playing party games even up to their wedding reception. They host a weekly Game Night with their friends. This week, Max’s brother, Brooks, is in town.

He hosts a special Game Night. One where an interactive company (think The Game) will stage a mystery game with actors. Brooks gets kidnapped (spoiler not by the actors) and the game is afoot.

The players find out that the game is real a little too early for me. But later twists eases my mind on that.

Starring: Jason Bateman, Rachel McAdams, Kyle Chandler, Sharon Horgan, Billy Magnussen, Lamorne Morris, Kylie Bunbury, Jesse Plemons

Red Sparrow

Red Sparrow is a slow burn spy thriller. I see this movie as an intrigue Unbreakable. We have the introduction to a protagonist I hope we get to see in future sequels.

This movie is not for children. There is graphic violence. There is sexual assault.

Do not be like the mother who brought her small child to the movie.

I would recommend seeing this movie in the theater. It is a slow burn – not an action fest.

Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Joel Edgerton, Matthias Schoenaerts, Charlotte Rampling, Jeremy Irons, Mary-Louise Parker, Ciarán Hinds, Joely Richardson, Bill Camp, Thekla Reuten, Douglas Hodge, Sakina Jaffrey

Pets of the Week March 5, 2018

Cocoa is one of those dogs who makes you smile the moment you see her. This milk chocolate-colored Retriever mix greets everyone with a big smile, an energetic wag of the tail, and if she can, a full-body snuggle. She isn’t quite 2 years old yet, but she’s a pretty big girl. You could even say she’s a bit tubby, but that’s just because she has a weakness for treats and will do anything for a tasty biscuit or two. Her sunny disposition shines through no matter what, including during the heartworm treatment she recently underwent. She’s quite adventurous and loves to chew up her toys, but when she’s done, she’ll head straight to her bed to relax. Cocoa will likely get along with other dogs and possibly even cats, so she’s an overall wonderful pooch.

Callie is elegant and supremely self-confident. So much so, in fact, that you could almost imagine her strolling down Hollywood Boulevard, showing off her fancy belled collar and looking like a true star. This gorgeous Calico is fully aware of how appealing she is, from her loving, affectionate personality to her snowy white coat accented with rich black and deep orange. She loves spending time with her humans, making her presence known by talking, rubbing against your legs, and telling you in no uncertain terms that she wants your attention. Callie is just over 18 months old and still quite playful. She takes particular joy in any toys that jingle. Come see this feline starlet today.
