Welcome to the Weekend Watch. Where we try to point you towards the best ways to spend your viewing time (or, at least, steer you clear of the garbage).

Wide Release

John Wick 3: Parabellum

Loren: Baring the inciting incident I love the first one. I might need to revisit the second because I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would. That said I’m super down for this.

RDT: 

Rick: The John Wick movies bring me untold amounts of glee, and part 2 has one of my favorite bits of gunplay ever. I’m all about this and the continued Keanu-ssance.

AJ: I never got to John Wick 2 but I will because I also want to see this. Yes. (From RDT: AJ, next time we’re at the dog park, ask me about my John Wick 2 story. No spoilers.)

Josh: I’m so excited for this movie. This franchise has been so surprisingly entertaining.

A Dog’s Journey

Loren: I never saw A Dog’s Purpose so I’m sure to be lost. Also no thanks.

RDT: 

Rick: That’s a whole lot of nope.

AJ: Sigh. It has puppies but I am in no mood to cry. I mean, I cried during Endgame (all three times I saw it) so I’m all done with the movie cries.

Josh: Nope. I don’t care if it’s just a dog dying happily in it’s sleep of extreme old age, I just don’t do well with animals dying. You know what you’re getting with this trailer. If that’s your bag, enjoy. No surprises here.

Limited Release

Zilla and Zoe

Loren: I think this looks cute but feel like it needs a studio remake to make the story classic. As of now it looks like a mildly expensive indie your friends put together.

RDT:   

Rick: Well, that trailer is terribly put together, but the movie doesn’t look bad. And while the world absolutely does not need me to procreate, if I had a child, it would definitely be like the younger sister in this movie. Though I’d be encouraging her to make her horror movie, not trying to squash her creativity.

AJ: I’m not sure I totally follow a clear plotline in this trailer but it just looks quirky and fun. Dark comedy is always up my alley. I would totally see this. Why am I just now hearing about it?! Who did their PR?! Also, is this just a slight glimpse into Rick’s future children? Thoughts?

Josh: I want to be excited for this, but the trailer feels like it’s trying too hard. I really, really, really hope I’m wrong because at it’s best, this could be a funny, weird, gross, heartwarming movie. Continue reading →

Movies

Wide Release

Pokemon Detective Pikachu

Loren: Will we finally get a movie that breaks the Video Game Adaptation Curse? We just might!

Jen: I wanted to hate this, but it looks kind of OK? Ryan Reynolds doing a PG Deadpool could be fun or really annoying. I’m not running out to see it, but I would check it on streaming if word-of-mouth, or word-of-podcast, is good.

The Hustle

Loren: I’m definitely not seeing this in the theater, but I’ll catch it some day down the line. I know people don’t like Anne Hathaway but I find her delightful and when I’m in the right mood I can bare Rebel Wilson, so this looks like a couch viewing for me.

Jen: Female Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, you say? This trailer is not as funny as I want it to be, but maybe they’re saving the best parts for the movie? Maybe?

All Is True

Loren: So like Shakespeare in Love but old? Who wants this story?

Jen: Oooooh that’s Kenneth Branagh! Now I see it. No further comment. Continue reading →

Wide Release

Ugly Dolls

Loren: I liked the dolls when they were kind of an alternative to your standard kids toy but I don’t need to see this as a movie.

RDT: I’m never going to see this movie. Even if I have kids, it’s still not gonna happen. With Disney+ coming, those (currently fictional) kids will never have to watch shitty animated movies again! Hazzah!!!

Jen: The couldn’t even get Justin Timberlake for this? They had to settle for Nick Jonas? Pass.

AJ: Oh come on! They’re adorable! KELLY CLARKSON! Pop music! I’m totally in. You get-off-my-lawn people can suck it.

Josh: Alright, I’m back! And just in time for…ooh boy. Ok, this movie isn’t for me, but I suspect it will be a fun movie that kids will enjoy.

Long Shot

Loren: I like a lot about this movie but I’m not sold on it being any good. I’ll give it a watch down the road.

RDT: This looks cute enough. It’s unlikely I’ll see it in the theater, but I can see myself giving it a watch when it hits streaming.

Jen: I’ve heard surprisingly good things about this and I do love me some June Diane Rapheal, I’ll give this a go on streaming for sure.

AJ: I am so sold on this. As long as he’s not doing that intolerable laugh, I find Seth Rogen comedy enjoyable. This is the movie politics deserves.

Josh: I don’t know why, but Seth Rogen really annoys me. I’m probably in the minority here, but I usually don’t find him or his films funny. That being said, this trailer shows potential and if someone I trust tells me to check it out, I would.

Limited Release

Shadow

Loren: I love the way these Chinese Fantasy Epics look but I never get around to watching them. Some day.

RDT: If this is worth my time, Rick will screen it. Only then will I watch.

Jen: RDT hit the nail on the head here, and, as of me writing this, I have not yet heard Rick’s take, but something tells me we may be seeing this down the road.

AJ: So……. just no. Sorry. I feel like I’m supposed to be into this but I am not.

Josh: These movies, even when I’m not as into the story, are always gorgeous to watch. I’m really digging the muted colors and I think I would very much enjoy this. That being said, unless someone tells me I need to see it in the theater, I’ll probably wait for home release. Continue reading →

The White Crow

Loren: Interesting mixing a political thriller with a ballet movie. Add a dash of Based on a True Story and we got a stew going.

RDT: I thought Eddie Furlong played the white Crow?

Rick: Just take my money, Ralph Fiennes.

Jen: Gimme, gimme, gimme.

Keep Going/ Continuer

Loren: Liz Lemon in French: “Non merci, s’il vous plait.”

The Curse of La Llorona

Loren: Well doesn’t that look all sorts of clichéd. Pass.

RDT: I’ve seen this trailer twice in theaters already. No need to revisit here as well. It looks creepy “af” as the kids say. I’m gonna pass.

Rick: I yawned/rolled my eyes through nearly every second of that trailer. Hard pass.

AJ: Me: I love Linda Cardellini

Also me:

Breakthrough

Loren: I think maybe Topher Grace should just go back to re-cutting Star Wars movies and maybe Luke Cage should just do whatever out of work Luke Cage’s do.

RDT: It’s got a good cast, but it’s a Jesus movie. And, I mean, I like Jesus. Without him there is no Easter and without Easter there is no Easter candy. So, thanks for the candy, Jesus!

Rick: Looks like everyone is gonna make their boat payments this month.

AJ: Not so into the faith & family genre typically but this cast is strong and I just adore Chrissy Metz. She recorded a song for the soundtrack which she performed at the ACMs that I was fairly impressed with, too. I mean, good for her, right? It’s not like women of her size are usually given a lot of opportunity in this business – and it’s usually a plucky sidekick role — so I just admire her. **steps down off soapbox**

Family

Loren:  

RDT: WTF was with the background music in that trailer. Holy shit. Also, this looks like a million different “I hate kids but now I’m stuck with kids” movies I’ve seen before. Pass.

Rick: Yeah, it’s trope central, but I laughed at a lot of things in that trailer. Call it a maybe when it hits streaming.

AJ: How many times must we visit this trope? This time with a quirky juggalo twist! Continue reading →
