Awards 2017 Fantasy Movie League – Week 9

Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. SHIT!!!!

Apparently, the Resident Evil audience has eroded and I guess people didn’t care if A Dog’s Purpose is to be a slave to man’s irresponsible filmmaking practices. This has caused a major shakeup in our leagues’ standings. Radley Cinemas, who was leading by $60m two weeks ago, now finds himself in third place overall, coming in dead last in Week 9 and now $60 behind the new #1! Despite placing 2nd this week, ColoRadJoe is the new league leader by $40m dollars ahead of the new #2, Tyler Perry’s A Medea Cineplex. Brad is currently boarding up his home refusing to hand over the Nerdy is ColoRadJoe wins out. “He’ll have to take it from my cold, dead hands!” he screamed from a third floor balcony.

Four other teams did well responding to La La Land’s awards surge. The Oscar nominations clearly convinced people still on the fence to come out for it. Including it in their lineup keeps them chasing our leaders.

Next week we find out how well the Ring franchise is still doing or not doing.

Awards 2017 Fantasy Movie League – Week 8

Wow. People were really into Split. Did not see that coming. Sadly, no one doubled up on this week’s BP but ColoRadJoe had faith in the surprisingly strong Monster Trucks and claimed another victory on the season. Oddly, while Movies After Ass returned to setting lineups, Doctor Acula’s Movie Funhouse looks like he forgot to.

Next week, Resident Evil 6 looks to do some Underworld business versus a dog movie. What could go wrong?

Awards 2017 Fantasy Movie League – Week 7

Hidden Figures continues a fantastic run while La La Land gets an awards boost. This week, PeterParker and Radley Cinemas split the #1 spot but the win goes to Peter who locked his lineup earliest.  Not far behind were ColoRadJoe, Dr. Acula, and Tyler Perry who each went mostly in on Hidden Figures and Silence.

Next weekend it’s Split vs. XXX 3… will Shamalyan get his mojo back or will we discover audiences have been missing out on the adventures of Xander Cage?

BESTSELLING AUTHOR  RELEASES   LATEST   INSTALLMENT   IN  HER   URBAN   FANTASY  SERIES

Stack   a   Deck   explores   the   tough   questions   of   a   world   gone   wrong

DENVER, CO — What if the Earth’s ozone layer decayed? What if asteroids weren’t destroyed  by outer atmosphere and impacted us on a regular basis? And what if the Earth’s core slowed its rotation, leaving our planet completely out of sync with the gravitational pull of the moon?

Bestselling author Sue Duff explores these terrifying questions in her latest installment of  her   urban   fantasy   series,  Stack a Deck  ( Book  Four in The Weir Chronicles.)

As the epic story continues, Duff’s main protagonist Ian Black learns how dangerous tyrannical  ruler Aeros has become, and sees for himself the narcissist’s impact on an entire planet. Ian is forced to turn his back on the Pur Weir and align himself with the rebels to rescue Rayne. But    when he travels to Earth’s alternate universe, he finds himself powerless and struggles to  survive. Though, it is here that he, along with eager readers of the series, finally discover the true   history   of   the   Weir   and   his   connection   to   Earth’s   imminent   destruction.  “ Stack A Deck  was  so challenging  because I had to consider he worst  future for Earth  and  ask  the tough  ‘what if’ questions , ”  said   Duff.     Stack a Deck is the fourth of five books in the Weir Chronicles, so fans of Duff’s novels can anticipate   an   exciting   close   in   the   final   chapter   in   2018.

Out of hundreds of submissions, Duff’s novel Fade to Black placed as a finalist in the Colorado Gold Writing Contest in 2011 and in 2015, her writing earned her the PEN Award from Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers . Masks and Mirrors nabbed Duff a nomination for the 2015-2016  Independent Writer of the Year from Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers , and Sleight of Hand  landed   on   the    Denver   Post    Bestseller   list   in   2016.      Additionally, Duff has completed a short story entitled D u o’v r for the anthology T I C K T O C K : Seven Tales of Time , which received the gold medal for Best Book Cover and silver medal for Best Anthology for the 2016 Colorado Independent Publishers Association EVVY Awards . The anthology also was nominated for Best Anthology at the 2016 UTOPIA Con . A second  anthology is on its way in 2017 and, in addition to the seven Wicked Ink authors short stories, it will feature two short-stories hand-selected from over 45 submissions received from writers all over the world.

Q&A   with   Sue   Duff 
We’re   now   on   book   four   in   the   Weir   Chronicles.   Can   you   tell   us   where   readers   will   find  Ian   Black   in    S t a c k   a   D e c k ?

Ian   has   been   forced   to   turn   his   back   on   the   Pur   Weir   and   align   himself   with   the   rebels   to  rescue   Rayne.      When   he   travels   to   Earth’s   alternate   universe,   he   finds   himself   powerless   and  struggles   to   survive   the   dangerous   planet   while   staying   one   step   ahead   of   Aeros.

Since   there   may   be   some   readers   that   haven’t   yet   read    Fade to Black , Masks   and Mirrors and Sleight of Hand, can   you   catch   them   up   on   what   they’ve   missed? 

In    F a d e   t o   B l a c k ,   the   main   protagonist   and   “superhero”   is   Ian   Black.   Born   the   last   of   the   Weir,  all   hope   rests   on   him   to   save   the   planet,   but   he   doesn’t   inherit   the   powers   as   predicted.  Tortured   in   a   last   ditch   effort   to   bring   his   supposed   powers   to   the   surface,   he   escapes   and  hides   among   the   humans   as   an   illusionist   –   until   a   nosy   college   reporter   uncovers   his   secret.  Together,   they   discover   a   malevolent   Weir   who   is   sucking   Earth’s   energy   and   depleting   its  resources   at   an   alarming   rate.    The   Weir   are   a   race   of   magical   beings   who   have   served   as   caretakers   of   Earth   for   thousands   of  years   and   it   is   their   connection   to   the   planet   that   keeps   what   roams   above   in   harmony   with  the   energies   that   churn   below.   Unfortunately,   they   are   becoming   extinct   and   as   a   result,   there  is   an   intense   rise   of   natural   disasters   across   the   globe.   Desperate   to   save   the   earth   and  prevent   the   end   of   their   race,   the   Weir   turn   to   modern   science   to   perpetuate   themselves.   But  this   philosophy   separates   their   kind   into   two   warring   factions   –   the   Pur   and   the   Duach.   To   keep  them   from   killing   each   other,   and   all   but   guaranteeing   their   extinction,   a   Curse   is   created   by  the   Ancient   counsel   as   a   means   of   keeping   them   apart.   Of   course,   as   you   could   predict,   the  Weir   soon   discover   it’s   not   wise   to   mess   with   Mother   Nature!

A   band   of   rebels,   committed   to   stopping   their   mutual   enemy,   come   on   the   scene   in    M a s k s   a n d   M i rro rs ,     and   give   Ian   reason   to   be   suspicious   as   he   struggles   to   uncover   what   ulterior   motive  they   have   for   saving   Earth.    In   the   third   book,    S l e i g h t   o f   H a n d ,   Ian   pursues   answers   in   order   to   stop   Earth’s   natural  disasters   and   eminent   self-destruction,   but   the   rebels   have   their   own   agenda   and   poison   him.  Patrick   and   Rayne   search   for   a   cure   and   in   so   doing,   Rayne   ends   up   on   Thrae,   Earth’s   alternate  universe,   while   Patrick   confronts   the   rebel   leaders   and   learns   the   truth   about   the   Weir.

What   are   your   initial   thoughts   when   thinking   about   your   book(s)?  

I   write   the   way   I   like   to   read   –   short   chapters   that   end   with   a   cliffhanger   so   you   can’t   help   but  turn   the   page   and   read   just   ‘one   more   chapter.’   I’ve   received   feedback   from   individuals,   who  don’t   typically   read   my   genre,   but   end   up   loving   my   books.   Others   that   aren’t   big   readers   have  finished   my   novels   in   one,   two   or   three   sittings!

What   kind   of   research   did   you   have   to   do   for   your   book /series ?

The   fourth   book   was   the   most   challenging   of   all,   because   I   had   to   consider   the   worst   future   for  Earth   and   ask   the   “what   if”   questions.      What   if   the   ozone   layer   decayed?   What   if   asteroids  weren’t   destroyed   by   the   outer   atmosphere   and   impacted   the   early   regularly?   What   if   the  Earth’s   core   slowed   its   rotation   and   what   affect   that   would   have   on   the   planet   and   to   the  gravitational   pull   on   the   moon?   These   facts   are   the   basis   for   how   Aeros   affected   Thrae,   and  since   it   ‘used   to   be’   the   mirror   image   of   Earth,   I   had   to   apply   those   results   in   this   novel.

Do   any   pieces   of   the   book   come   from   personal   experience? 

When   I   was   a   teenager,   we   took   a   road   trip   up   the   California   Coast   and   spent   time   in   the  redwood   forests.   I   thought   it   was   the   most   breathtaking   place   on   Earth,   which   is   why   I   have  Ian   living   there   in   my   stories.

What   do   you   hope   readers   most   get   out   of   your   book   (or   the   series   as   a   whole)? 

Regardless   of   the   naysayers,      believe   in   yourself   and   follow   your   own   strengths   and   path   in   the  world.   Ian   didn’t   develop   his   powers   as   the   prophecy   predicted,   and   Rayne   wasn’t   the   firstborn  male   Sar   that   her   father   desired.   The   fact   that   Ian   turned   to   illusions   in   order   to   do   what   he  couldn’t   naturally   (lack   of   powers   in   a   magical   world)   is   key   to   his   character.      Tortured   for   what  he   had   no   control   over,   he   discovered   and   nurtured   something   that   he   could   control.     I   also   hope   that   my   readers   can   accept   that   science   can’t   explain   everything   and   embrace   the  wonders   and   mysteries   in   the   universe.   My   favorite   line   from   the   first   book   is,    “There will always be magic in the world , as long as we believe in what we don’t  understand . ”

You   also   released    T I C K   T O C K ,   an   anthology   with   six   other   Colorado   authors   this   past  year.   How   did   that   come   together,   and   do   you   have   anything   planned   for   2017?

Our   first   anthology,    T I C K   T O C K :   S e v e n   Ta l e s   o f   T i m e ,    was   nominated   as   Best   Anthology   of   2016  by   UTOPIA   Con   in   June,   and   we   also   won   the   silver   medal   for   Best   Anthology   of   2016   and   the  gold   medal   for   Best   Book   Cover   through   Colorado   Independent   Publishers   Association   EVVY  Awards   in   August!   Our   next   anthology   is   based   on   short   stories   inspired   by   our   favorite   song.  In   addition,   we   opened   the   second   book   up   to   submissions   and   received   more   than   45   from all   over   the   world!   After   the   marathon   readings   and   critiques,   we   chose   two   that   stood   out  above   the   rest   and   we’re   excited   to   include   them   in   the   second   anthology,   releasing   this  spring.

So   after   working   both   solo   and   in   tandem   with   other   authors   on   a   project,   do   you   have   a  favorite   method   of   writing?

There   are   pros   to   doing   both!      I   love   my   Wicked   Ink   team   and   we   do   so   much   to   support   each  other.      It   can   be   daunting   to   self-publish   a   novel,   but   with   having   a   team,   the   burden   can   be  shared   by   all   –   which   makes   it   easier.      But…I   also   love   writing   on   my   own,   because   the   final  decisions   and   content   are   solely   mine   and   I   don’t   feel   so   stressed   by   deadlines   –   albeit   the  ones   I   put   on   myself.      But   truly,   I   have   the   best   of   both   worlds!

Ep. 285: Biohazardous

Ryan and Brad try to defeat the Umbrella Corporation when they review Resident Evil: The Final Chapter.

Art House Asshole : Trash Humpers

You know how when you’re wanting to go to the movie theater and you look up all the films that are showing and there are alway at least three that you’ve never heard of, let alone have any interest in seeing? Well, good news! I’ve seen those movies. I spend most of my theater experiences in art house theaters watching those movies that you’ve never heard of and then never watch. Yeah, I’m that hipster asshole. My goal with this is to spread information out about these films, that way you can decide one of the following. “That actually sounds pretty cool! I want to see that now!” or “Man, I’m glad I decided to go see the new superhero movie!”. So without further ado, here is my article and review of Trash Humpers.

Look. I get it. I mean I don’t get it. But I get it. Some people really like Harmony Korine. There are quite a few people in my film class that genuinely love his filmography. To the point where we started watching Julien Donkey-Boy in my film history class. So I understand that some people see something in Korine’s filmography. So when I talk about this film, understand that I’m not saying my opinion is correct. Your opinion isn’t correct either. But don’t be insulted by this.

This film certainly isn’t for everyone. Trash Humpers follows these four people who go around and shout and attempt to have sex with trash and other inanimate objects. This film also follows the Dogme 95 “Vows of Chastity”. I have my own opinions on Dogme 95, that aren’t particularly positive, but it needs to be said before someone watches this film. And I will fully admit that I have not seen all of the “licensed” Dogme 95 films. I’m sure there are a few that I would enjoy. But between this and Julien Donkey-Boy, I can’t help but strongly dislike a majority Korine’s filmography.

I did some investigation into what I was supposed to take away from this film. It took me a while to find one solid answer, but I did find it. The film is about parenthood, according to the source that I found. It has a similarly understated plot line similar to Lynch’s Eraserhead. I will say that I kind of see that. Or at least I can go along with it. The problem is that, like Lynch, Korine refuses to say what the film actually is. Unlike Lynch, Korine refuses to confirm if anything is true. The one article I read said the fatherhood angle, which in all honesty seems like is the actual smart interpretation of the film. But when the journalist asked Korine about it, he said that he wouldn’t ever say. Which whenever I hear that I assume the director actually doesn’t know what his or her film means. Maybe that isn’t the case here, maybe it is. Either way, it’s bullshit.

Dogme 95’s philosophy that if they take realism to the extreme, they will achieve some kind of connection with the audience for a higher form of story and character. If they sacrifice the general necessary ingredients for a film, they will achieve this connection with the audience. Unfortunately for Trash Humpers, they sacrifice all of this for a film with a minimalistic story and undeveloped characters. Where Dogme 95 can be great if you have a fantastic story or wonderful characters. Something that, where I am not a fan of it, Julien Donkey-Boy has something close to this. But in this film, the stripping of the fantastical elements of a film just exposes how weak and lazy the storytelling and character development is. You have four characters that are almost identical and only one of them actually changes in the film, and you could argue that she doesn’t change at all.

The film is very reminiscent of Jackass, which I accidentally watched as well this week. Throughout the film, you see the four trash humpers do these stupid things, and the camera work around these activities is very Jackass-like. The difference here is that the four trash humpers have zero likability nor do they have anything interesting to keep viewers entertained. The Jackasses at least are likable to the point where you can have fun, almost like you are friends with them. And maybe that’s the point of this film in a weird roundabout way. But it doesn’t matter as Korine would never confirm this.

This film is the worst I’ve seen from Korine. I’m not a big fan of his work, but I don’t hate his work. Clearly, he has an audience that enjoys his work, even if they follow him blindly. And I do very much enjoy Spring Breakers. But there is so little to this work that it doesn’t warrant you sitting through it, even at its brisk 77 minutes. I’m going to continue to watch Korine’s work, and every time I will attempt to figure out what I’m missing. But at this point, I’m getting close to wondering if there is anything there worth looking for.

Ep. 284: I’m Founding It!

The Reel Nerds share the special sauce when they review The Founder.

Art House Asshole : Live by Night

You know how when you’re wanting to go to the movie theater and you look up all the films that are showing and there are alway at least three that you’ve never heard of, let alone have any interest in seeing? Well, good news! I’ve seen those movies. I spend most of my theater experiences in art house theaters watching those movies that you’ve never heard of and then never watch. Yeah, I’m that hipster asshole. My goal with this is to spread information out about these films, that way you can decide one of the following. “That actually sounds pretty cool! I want to see that now!” or “Man, I’m glad I decided to go see the new superhero movie!”. So without further ado, here is my article and review of Live by Night!

By the way, I know that I announced that I would be reviewing Dogtooth today. But between getting sick and getting slammed with school, I just couldn’t fit it into my schedule. So I’m reviewing this film this week. Sorry. I’ll review Dogtooth some other time.

I did the math and I’ve spent 4,260 hours of my life watching movies. That is half of a year. Total, I have spent two percent of my life watching movies. I am currently twenty years old as of writing this review. But when I left the theater from watching this film, I was shocked that I hadn’t aged three years while watching this film. It is that poorly paced. My god.

Live by Night is a two-hour long film, and Ben Affleck’s fourth directorial film. I will say that I am a pretty big Affleck fan. I have loved to adored his three previous films, as a matter of fact, I rewatched The Town earlier this week and absolutely adored it. After Argo, I thought I would be on board for anything Affleck directed next. And when I found out that he was directing a gangster film (one of my favorite sub-genres) I was immediately excited. Then the trailer came out. And I didn’t know what it was about. All I knew was that Ben Affleck played a gangster of some kind and it took place in the Prohibition era (an era of gangster films I’m kind of against). But I didn’t care that I couldn’t figure out what it was about, it was Ben Affleck and Gangsters! What could go wrong! After seeing the film, I still couldn’t tell you what this film is about. So yeah. That went wrong.

Live by Night, the four and a half-hour-long film follows the Irish son of Police Captain in Boston as he descends into the life of a gangster. There really isn’t much else beyond that. It seems silly to call it this, but Live by Night, the six hours and ten-minute long film, might be best described as a slice of life gangster film. At first, you think that it will be a revenge film, which I was super on board for! Ben Affleck going against the Irish mob for leaving him to die in prison! Yeah! Badass! Let’s do it! But then Ben Affleck goes to jail, gets sad, then moves to Florida. And he doesn’t really give a crap about the guys that tried to kill him. But whatever. Live by Night, the twelve-hour long film feels a lot like the Mafia video game series. You follow this one Mafia/Mob member as he goes from mission to mission and does the daily work of a mob member. But without one big overall story.

The two things that continuously bugged me about Live by Night, the 25-hour long film, were the sound mixing and Ben Affleck’s accent. Both are all over the place or nonexistent. There is a narration throughout the film that I hated because although it was all exposition, I still had trouble following what was happening. And because in the beginning I just couldn’t hear it. Some scenes I could hear the narration, some scenes I had to listen real close to figure out what he was saying. By the end of Live by Night, the 36-hour long film, I stopped paying attention to the narration because I honestly just didn’t care anymore. Ben Affleck, who plays the son of an Irish man, and it appears that his whole family is Irish and that everyone around him is Irish, and all of these people have Irish accents, yet Ben Affleck doesn’t have an Irish accent. Except he does in some scene and/or words. I honestly couldn’t tell if Ben Affleck was Irish or not. But again, I really don’t care.

With this being based on a novel, one that I have no read, I imagine things were cut from the film. And with that, there are part of Live by Night, the 47-hour long film, that I see no purpose for, but I imagine played a much larger role in the novel. For example, Elle Fanning and Chris Cooper’s characters. I know why they were in the film, and they are a plot point. But that’s all they ever felt like. They just served as a way to get from Point A to Point B. They didn’t feel like characters. They didn’t feel like people. They felt like plot points.

You could argue that you might ignore all of these problems in Live by Night, the 68-hour long film. Maybe you just want some mindless action and gangster violence on screen. There is typically one gangster film a year and you need your fix. I get it. But don’t get it here. The thing with action films that you don’t get with this film is the sense of why it is happening. None of the characters are developed enough for you to really care when a shoot out is happening. Theoretically, you should care where there is a shoot out because you want Person A to be killed and Person B to survive. But in Live by Night, the 139-hour long film, not only did I not care who was shooting at who, but I also didn’t know who they were. In the final shootout of the film, some of the choreography was nice, but I only knew the Ben Affleck character. I knew of the other characters, but I couldn’t tell which character was which and there were points where I didn’t know who died when I’m pretty sure I was supposed to.

I’m willing to give Ben Affleck the benefit of the doubt on this one. I’ve read there were significant cuts to the film. To the point where entire characters were cut, such as Ben Affleck’s character’s brother, who was played by Scott Eastwood. So maybe there was some studio meddling. If 2016 will go down as anything, it will be the year we learned that Warner Brothers likes to mess around with a directors vision, so I won’t completely eliminate the possibility.

But Live by Night, the seven-year long film, is still pretty bad. And I have actively told people that they shouldn’t waste their time with it. Go watch The Town. Go watch Gone Baby Gone. Go watch Argo. Those films are some of the best stories and films made in the 2000s. This will not join the ranks, but that doesn’t discredit Ben Affleck’s accomplishments as a director. He’s still good, but he had to release something to keep him in check.

Ep. 283: That Figures

The Reel Nerds are on the moon when they review Hidden Figures and Live by Night.

Art House Asshole : Aaaaaaaah!

You know how when you’re wanting to go to the movie theater and you look up all the films that are showing and there are alway at least three that you’ve never heard of, let alone have any interest in seeing? Well, good news! I’ve seen those movies. I spend most of my theater experiences in art house theaters watching those movies that you’ve never heard of and then never watch. Yeah, I’m that hipster asshole. My goal with this is to spread information out about these films, that way you can decide one of the following. “That actually sounds pretty cool! I want to see that now!” or “Man, I’m glad I decided to go see the new superhero movie!”. So without further ado, here is my article and review of Aaaaaaaah!

I’m pretty sure I haven’t reviewed an experimental film on here yet. But that record is out the window! Sorry, films with a narrative plot structure and character development! Y’all are going to have to take a back seat to this stupid ass film! Eat your heart out David Fincher! Take a breather Charlie Kaufman! There is a new director in town! And his name is Steve Oram! Now lets mercilessly tear this film apart.

There have been a lot of films in the past couple years that take an interesting concept and run with it. Most of the time, they run too far. A couple examples of this are The Love Witch, Shangri-la Suite, and Victoria. Every time I read the description of the film or watch the trailer for the film and think “Wow! That sounds interesting!” And then I see the film and realize that those films are exactly that. They are great concepts. That doesn’t mean they succeed at pulling these concepts into completion.

Aaaaaaaah! is about the fact that we are all animals deep down. Asking the question of are we truly more evolved than the rest of the animal species. The answer is yes. Obviously. Evidence that we are the only species that have created a movie about if we are truly more evolved than other species.

The film is just under 80 minutes, which is the perfect time length for something like this. It is still feature length while also not being too long. Whereas something like The Love Witch over stays its welcome at almost two hours long, this doesn’t get too long, except in at minute seven. That doesn’t make sense. Well here is the thing, this film is a slice of life for a world where we never evolved to talk. We only talk in grunts. There is no dialogue in the film, just a bunch of people talking like animals and going about their daily lives.

In the first five minutes of the film I was thinking “Oh, I get it”. Then at the sixth minute, I was like “Yeah. I get it, let’s move on”. Then I completely lost my mind. I don’t know if it was the film or if it was the fact that I watched this film at three in the morning. But once I got used to what this movie was doing, I immediately couldn’t stop laughing. In a good way. Not in a bad White Girl way. This film is a comedy and my god is it hilarious. I lost my mind along with the film and it was one of the biggest laughs I’ve had with a film in a while. Should I have laughed that hard? Probably not. Any sane person would have turned the film off.

But I didn’t.

I’m insanely not smart. Which is why I sat through the entire thing and had an amazing time. Will you have a good time? No. You probably won’t. Unless you are extremely tired, on drugs, or are just into weird things.

I don’t have much else to say about this film. It clearly didn’t have a lot of funding for it. It shouldn’t have much more than it got. And you can see that. I have explained what this film is exactly. Normally this is something that would normally be called “pretentious”, but in execution, this is far too stupid to be called pretentious.
