43 reasons to NOT bother seeing ‘Movie 43’
In case it matters, the following contains spoilers. Lots of spoilers. If you want to avoid the spoilers, don’t read any further. Did I mention there are spoilers?
-
‘Bullet to the Head’ will leave you scratching yours
This film felt familiar… oh, right, because the flick’s basic plot device was used in ‘Broken City’.
-
‘Warm Bodies’ hits just the right temperature
‘Warm Bodies’ is a zombie film. ‘Warm Bodies’ is a romantic comedy. Can you make a zom-rom-com? Jonathan Levine sure can and he did it very, very well.
-

It’s wonderful seeing these truly excellent actors together and thriving – but therein lays one of the main problems.
-
‘Parker’ is as advertised: Action-packed
There is something very familiar about the title character of Parker as portrayed by Jason Statham. That is because we’ve seen this character before. In the past however, he didn’t have the name “Parker”.
-
Thrills in ‘Mama’ are all relative
An accessible piece of meat-and-potatoes entertainment.
-
‘The Last Stand’ is worth sitting down for
Some movies should have a sign hung over the doorway that read, in big bold letters, “suspend disbelief before entry”. This is one such movie.
-
‘Gangster Squad’ looks great, but lacks substance
Visually, this flick captures the look of 1949 Los Angeles. Too bad the script doesn’t quite have the same quality.
-

An excellent cast that is given very little to do in a very formulaic bit of fluff.
