Synopsis: In the year 2045, people can escape their harsh reality in the OASIS, an immersive virtual world where you can go anywhere, do anything, be anyone-the only limits are your own imagination. OASIS creator James Halliday left his immense fortune and control of the Oasis to the winner of a contest designed to find a worthy heir. When unlikely hero Wade Watts conquers the first challenge of the reality-bending treasure hunt, he and his friends-known as the High Five-are hurled into a fantastical universe of discovery and danger to save the OASIS and their world.
My thoughts: Not too often, and especially not in CGI-heavy movies, do I want to tell my movie buddy how amazing a scene looks but during Ready Player One that happened on more than one occasion. It's beautiful, it's well directed, it's entertaining, the writing is top notch. There's not much more you can ask for out of a movie.
Final verdict: 5 Iron Giants out of 5.
Synopsis: A harmless game of Truth or Dare among friends turns deadly when someone -- or something -- begins to punish those who tell a lie or refuse the dare.
My thoughts: I'm not sure I need to go into too much detail here, this is your typical "teen horror" fare but after last year's Happy Death Day I was willing to give it a fair shot, and well it was an airball. Currently sporting a putrid 19% RT Audience Rating (For comparison sake the first Ouija with a 6% RT rating at least managed a 24% audience rating). Not a whole lot to say here, the storytelling is predictable, the production value is good, I guess but honestly that's about all I could say, and I generally like Lucy Hale and Tyler Posey but they just don't get much to work with and do even less with it.
Final verdict: 2 sacrifices out of 5.
Synopsis: During a star-studded Los Angeles party, three zeroes become heroes (sort of) when the hotel they work at is taken hostage by bad guys. From the creators of Workaholics, this action comedy comes locked and super loaded on March 23.
My thoughts: Nothing ground breaking here, it's standard raunchy comedy fare. You have lots of moments where you think "what the hell am I watching" but there are other parts where you're generally laughing. It wasn't the best comedy ever made, but it's not the worst and the ridiculous story line helped lead to some of those laughs and keep it as a pass.
Final verdict: 3 detached penises out of 5.
