#schoolforgoodandevil

In the village of Gavaldon, two misfits and best friends, Sophie (Sophia Anne Caruso) and Agatha (Sofia Wylie), share the unlikeliest of bonds. Sophie, a lover of fairy tales, dreams of escaping her ordinary village life, while Agatha, with her grim aesthetic, has the makings of a real witch. Then one night under a blood red moon, a powerful force sweeps them away to the School for Good and Evil — where the true story of every great fairy tale begins. Yet something is amiss from the start: Sophie is dropped into the School for Evil, run by the glamorous and acid-tongued Lady Lesso (Charlize Theron), and Agatha in the School for Good, overseen by the sunny and kind Professor Dovey (Kerry Washington). As if navigating classes with the offspring of Cinderella, Captain Hook, and the dashing son of King Arthur (Jamie Flatters) wasn’t hard enough, according to the Schoolmaster (Laurence Fishburne), only true love’s kiss can change the rules and send the girls to their rightful school. But when a dark and dangerous figure (Kit Young) with mysterious ties to Sophie reemerges and threatens to destroy the school and the rulebook entirely — the only way to a happy ending is to survive the fairytale first.

Based on the epic international best-selling series by Soman Chainani.

Movie Review: Gringo - #GringoMovie

GRINGO
Release Date: March 9, 2018
Director/Producer: Nash Edgerton
Writers: Story by Matthew Stone / Screenplay by Anthony Tambakis and Matthew Stone
Producers: Rebecca Yeldham, Charlize Theron, Beth Kono, A.J.DIX, Anthony Tambakis
Cast: David Oyelowo, Charlize Theron, Joel Edgerton, Amanda Seyfried, Thandie Newton and Sharlto Copley

An exhilarating mix of dark comedy, white-knuckle action and dramatic intrigue, Gringo joyrides into Mexico, where mild-mannered businessman Harold Soyinka (David Oyelowo) finds himself at the mercy of back-stabbing business colleagues back home, local drug lords and a morally conflicted black-ops mercenary. Crossing the line from law-abiding citizen to wanted criminal, Harold battles to survive his increasingly dangerous situation in ways that raise the question: Is he out of his depth — or two steps ahead?

All movies can’t be cinematic masterpieces which alter time and space as we know it. Some of the movies are enjoyable, exclusively, for the laughs. And that’s a good thing. This week’s Gringo is exactly that good thing.

Gringo has a “fish out of water” theme. A bunch of Americans, all with different intentions, find themselves in Mexico. While fish out of water has been done before, the all-star cast sets Gringo apart. David Oyelowo (as Harold) is great as the good-guy in the ensemble. Usually appearing in more dramatic roles, Oyelowo exhibits nice comedic chops and timing. Oyelowo was completely believable and relatable as the good guy who is fed-up with coming in last.

Pit Oyelowo’s good guy against Charlize Theron’s (as Elaine) “all bad, all the time” girl, and the audience will not help laughing. The shock value of Theron’s character was awesome. Elaine was one of those characters who says what other people think, but refuse to say, in public. Loved how unabashed Theron was in her portrayal. She went “there,” literally. (That’s a little joke you will understand when you watch Gringo.)

From the Beatles-loving cartel boss (played by Carlos Corona) to the “used to be fat” wife (played by Thandie Newton) all of the characters were outrageous and enjoyable. At one point, there are even two Lucha Libre mask-wearing kidnappers who enter the mix of characters. The plot was crazy. It really was. But, the audience won’t care. Everyone will be too busy laughing. The end of the movie was incredibly satisfying.

Now, a bit of a warning. Gringo makes fun of everyone and everything. It pushes the boundaries of what is acceptable behavior, and then it goes just past those. Gringo is not for people who are easily offended.

That’s not to say that Gringo is perfect. Joel Edgerton (as Richard) brings down the energy of the film and slows some of its momentum. That was an issue, because the film is a little draggy in bits. There is also a subplot with Amanda Seyfried (as Sunny) which is almost completely unnecessary.

Still, Gringo was a perfect distraction, a funny break with reality. There are few worthwhile films out in March. Gringo is worth the time and energy. Go see it. Take your friends. Try not to blow your movie beverage out of your nose from the laughter. Gringo is playing everywhere now.

Movie Review: The Huntsman: Winter's War + Houston Fan Event!

The Huntsman: Winter's War
Director: Cedric Nicolas-Troyan
Writers: Evan Spiliotopoulos, Craig Mazin
Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Jessica Chastain, Charlize Theron
MPAA Rating: Rated PG-13 for fantasy action violence and some sensuality
Official Socials: Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | IMDb
Hashtag: #TheHuntsman

As two evil sisters prepare to conquer the land; two renegades - Eric the Huntsman - who previously aided Snow White in defeating Ravenna, and his forbidden lover, Sara set out to stop them.

I attended a fan event for The Huntsman Winter's War over the weekend. It was quite the spectacle I thought it would be. I wouldn't have expected any less from the studio that also gave us Maleficent and Snow White and The Huntsman. After pictures in the lobby, I was handed an armload of promotional merchandise and I walked into the darkened theatre to the tunes of a mid-evil score. The stage was set.

After the movie, the audience was treated to a live question and answer session with the stars. Chris Hemsworth, Jessica Chastain and Charlize Theron all appeared via satellite feed from LA. Doesn't it sound amazing? The evening was a lot of fun, but the actual film was the low point. The Huntsman Winter's War was not amazing.

Let me detail the best parts of the film first. I really enjoyed Emily Blunt as Freya, the Snow Queen. I appreciated her willingness to throw herself into the role. Charlize Theron also did a great job reprising her role as Ravenna, the Evil Queen. I liked the dynamic between both of the queens. Their scenes together were, by far, the best in the film.

The hand-to-hand combat scenes were a ton of fun. They looked fluid and amazing. Kudos to the fight choreographers. There was a mixture of weapons and tools which added to the complexity. I looked forward to the fight scenes.

The costuming was flawless. The queens both wore fantastic dresses. I could have watched the light reflect off of Freya's gowns for hours. Genuinely mesmerizing.

Okay. That's it. That was what I liked about The Huntsman Winter's War. What wasn't I crazy about? The story was boring! The whole thing seemed contrived and pointless. And the contrived, pointless story moved at a snail's pace between the combat.

The timeline leaves much to be desired. I watched Snow White and the Huntsman before this film so I could be prepared. It's both a prequel and a sequel of sorts. Confused yet? I think it was a mistake to include Ravenna in this story. Her inclusion makes this story too complex. The movie starts at a time period before Snow White and the Huntsman. Then, there is a part which takes place during the same time of the first movie and, by the end, we are clearly at a time period after the Snow White and the Huntsman. And I don't think that any of that was necessary. It's the fantasy that makes this genre of film so appealing. Here, the filmmakers tried to explain too much, losing some of the audience.

I didn't like Jessica Chastain in the role of Sara. She said in the post-movie interview that she had never done a fantasy film before. I think that came across, to her detriment. She came off as too rigid and real for the role. Also, Chris Hemsworth seemed to be phoning-in his performance as Eric and his accent. He even seemed to be phoning-in his appearance in the post-movie interview. I know what everyone is thinking. We love Thor. I love Thor, too, but he has to it some effort.

All in all, The Huntsman Winter's War is a beautiful film with not much else to offer. Wait for it to come to video or video on demand. Of course, if you don't want to take my word for it, The Huntsman Winter's War opens everywhere on April 22.
