Murrow Son

Absolutely hilarious with the exception of the bathroom scenes (loses 1 star)...unless you like really gross stuff! Alan Tudyk is quickly becoming one of my favorite comedy actors, and he's in great form here after he is mistakenly given some illegal drugs that his GF thought was Xanax. All of the actors did well, but he seriously steals the show outright. You know a film is great when it's redone just a couple of years later as a near-exact copy, even down to the same actor playing the guy who upends what everyone thought of the deceased old man!

Fun game, though you run around a lot.

The original, In Order of Disappearance, is much better as is usually the case. Stellan Skaarsgard is superior to over-used, unbelievable Neeson as well. Check it out!

An interesting premise, but completely unsustainable and implausible. Even the simplest of things, the rabbits, are totally off-the-mark...where are the droppings, which rabbits do so often and without boundaries? Where are the bones that would be left from (allegedly) so many millions of dopplegangers eating them? They would hardly be as healthy and clean as they appeared after decades underground, anymore than the other "Us's" would be, and all of them would be quite effectively blind in the sunlight. Where did the red outfits and similar shears come from? How could moves be matched-up underground where there's clearly not even close to enough room to mimic the above ground environments and open spaces? And, one of the biggest questions of all, if they mimicked every move that their doubles did above ground, then why did they stop and start acting independently? They'd all be like the little boy's DG and easily not only be avoided, but so simply destroyed as walking one back into a fire? Far too many elements like these are wholly impossible, much like the "power" of hypnotism used in Get Out, where it conflicted with the brain surgeries (they are not synonymous, nor could they ever be. Peele has some interesting ideas, but his development of them is just too much to overcome. I hope his next movie is more probable, as he does have some imagination, but that's about it. It'd be nice to see a black film that's not got some racist overtones or undertones someday, but this isn't it.

Creepy and disturbing, this look into the business of video footage sold to stations for news is over-played, but still worth it's salt thanks to an uber sicko performance by Gyllenhal. Not the guy you'd ever want to turn your back on.

My first question with aliens who seem to thrive on using/eating/scaring earth humans, is "What did they do before finding us for victims? How'd they survive before?" This film doesn't answer that question, as most don't, so forego any logic beyond violence, fast cars and loud rock and roll. It's an alien on a super-party bender on earth, and William Boyett too. Loud, brash action, music and mayhem with a serious bent for the nicer toys in life! Nouri's a C-teamer at best, playing the usual cop who thinks his gun can shoot away any problem, but what's new? If cops had real brains in these shows, they'd be over in minutes.

Hilarious movie, though the 'surprise' ending was overdoing it. Most of the scares and mistakes are fairly obvious to see coming, but still rewarding with a good laugh. Very funny and another sign of how communication and perspectives can go awry.

Though full of plot holes, the concept is unique and effective. Wigham is a great actor, I liked him in Kong: Skull Island as well, and the other two leads do an adequate job, though they're not given as much to work with. Well, until a certain tragic and horrific part of the film anyway, though that is also one of the biggest holes in the plot. The ending was a cliche, but expected, so look for a Splinter 2 at some point. But, ultimately, most of the action is close-up and in the dark, with an edit that makes it impossible to really see everything that's happening, a common flaw with lower-budget scifi films and an annoying one, the camera is too close.
