WORRIED OR EXCITED

Directed by Colin Trevorrow starring Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Irrfan Khan and Vincent D'Onofrio

Intern Review: The Park is OPEN! The park is open! Finally after 2 sequels the park is open. Why wasn't this story the second one? Jurassic Park 2 and 3 where unneeded and not very good. This being compared is still not close to being as good as the first one. How ever this was done well and fun to watch. I'd give it a go for ya'll.

Directed byJean-Baptiste Léonetti starring Michael Douglas, Jeremy Irvine and Hanna Mangan Lawrence

Intern Review: Beyond the Reach should have been a movie that was fast paced and intense. But instead was repetitive and there was no connection to either of the characters. This movie failed on many levels. The fourth act of Michael Douglas coming back was a complete waste. Douglas' character should have just killed the kid but they failed to even make the end interesting. If there ever was a zero this is it. Sorry not sorry. Just go watch Hard Target (1993) with Van Damme instead as it was a much more competent version of this movie.

Intern Review: So The Vatican Tapes..... It sucked then was good then sucked then was terrible the end. Have you ever watched a trailer and was given a promise of something that you wanted only to not get that at all? Well that's my experience with The Vatican Tapes. There was an abundance of opportunity to make not only a great movie but a series and this probably should have been turned into a tv show with multiple tapes and cases. Alas it was not and turned into the coming of the antichrist whoop-de-do. Was really looking forward to this and it turned into a blasphemy of cinema.

YOU HAVE TO BE

WORRIED OR EXCITED

Directed by Brad Peyton starring Dwayne Johnson, Carla Gugino and Alexandra Daddario

Intern Review: There are some facts that they tell you will happen in the movie then neglect to have happen in the movie. No double Tsunami WTF. Other than that it was a really average survival movie. If you like survival/catastrophe movies you will probably like this one as well. But lets just say I didn't feel the shock of this movie from my seat let alone feeling it on the other side of the world.

Intern Review: A young man finds an outlaw to go in search of his lost true love. On the way they encounter bandits and all sorts of fun in the west. I think that the end of story is a fitting one to reflect on real life with guns and what happens when lovers have them. This movie won the week as it is by far the best of the week. Slow West is The Intern Approved.

Intern Review: I wish they would stop making horror movies that suck which is like 96% of horror movies. Just go watch the original it's better than this one I guess. Anyway just stay away from horror and you might have yourself a good night with a movie instead of trying to write something about a piece of crap. Horror should know not to cast known actors and actresses as it is a failing formula.

It's like a female Austin Powers that is American. Anyway I laughed so Spy passed in the job it was trying to do. If your looking for comedy this one provides some.

Directed by Cameron Crowe starring Bradley Cooper, Rachel McAdams and Emma Stone

Intern Review: A romantic comedy about a defense worker and an army pilot there is a story in the background here but Emma Stone really carries this movie. I'd say just watch it for here silly over-the-top personality. It's not special and there is a lot to be upset about but if you are looking for a silly comedy this is probably it.

WORRIED OR EXCITED

Directed by Brad Bird starring George Clooney, Hugh Laurie, Britt Robertson and Raffey Cassidy

Intern Review: A family movie deep in sci-fi about a boy genius that is no longer a boy, and a girl exploring what could be a multi-verse. From the director who brought us Iron Giant and my favorite Animated movie The Incredibles just doesn't seem to knock this one outta the park like he normally does. Great concept with some poor delivery.

WORRIED OR EXCITED

Directed by George Miller starring Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron

Intern Review: This movie was so bad I went to use the washroom after paying to watch it and was happy to look at a poster at the urinal for a portion of the movie. It is a 2 hour movie and 1:45 is an over the top car chase with a bungie guitarist. It is so unbelievable that it is unbelievable.

Nathan: Excited
Daniel: Excited

Rotten Tomatoes 97% IMDb 8.1 Intern -1

Mad Max: Fury Road was voted one of the best trailers of 2014 at joblo.com the winner of the most academy awards of 2015. And I still don't give a shit. Because of all the hoopla and nonsense of this garbage movie. Everyone starts with a -1 today and I will not talk about this movie again.

Directed by David Cross starring Meredith Hagner, Matt Walsh and James Adomian

Intern Review: The idea was there and by the time the movie ends I don't really know why I watched it all. A girl wants to become famous and gets to watch her father become famous with no talent and is a reflection of the Kardashians of present time with a small town family girl trying to make a Hit with herself.

Intern Review: Have you ever seen a car drive from one building to another or parachute out of an airplane? You can see both if you watch this but it will take effort to get to the crazy over the top action scenes. The rest is what you would expect so if your up for this kind of thing you aren't reading this because you have already seen all the movies in this franchise.

Directed by Marjane Satrapi starring Ryan Reynolds, Gemma Arterton and Anna Kendrick

Intern Review: The Voices is an unexpected pleasure. It hits all the right comedy notes and is one of the best horror movies to make an appearance on TPP. Jerry hears voices (his pets) that tell him what he should do a cat and a dog. One is the good conscience and one is not find out which is which and laugh along with this wonderful horror movie.

Intern Review: Cut Bank tries to follow in the footsteps of Fargo and A Simple Plan however it falls very, very short. The beginning executes and then the movie just falls off as does the story telling. It's okay maybe check it out for free on TV.

Winner: Not on the same page. No points. Daniel still leads... one ... to nothing.

Directed by Ethan Cohen starring Will Ferrell, Kevin Hart and Alison Brie

Intern Review: You get what you expect in this generic comedy there are a couple laughs and a couple groans that come with this movie. If you like the thoughtless comedies check this out. Kevin Hart does have some great lines in this but it is still just a regular comedy.

Directed by The Wachowski's Starring Channing Tatum, Mila Kunis, and Eddie Redmayne

Intern Review: The imaginary vision of the Wachowski's is in full form here. The issue is that everything seems painted on. The acting is off from everyone, the anti-gravity boots are laughable, and the story is also lacking execution. Eddie Redmayne did walk away with a Razzie for his performance though. This is a 0, just re-watch The Matrix trilogy a couple of times and it will be much better time spent.

Intern Review: The most attractive and muscular hacker to live gets to leave prison to solve international hacker problems. This was entertaining for reasons unknown but not a very good movie for Michael Mann standards. If you are going to watch an action/drama with little substance but just want to escape reality give this movie a go.

Winner: Both the boy will get a point here

Directed by J.C. Chambers Starring Oscar Isaac, Jessica Chastain and David Oyelowo

Intern Review: It is the most violent year in New York Cities history. A business man tries to run his oil business while his trucks full of gas keep getting stolen. He tries to stay legit and not turn into a gangster while trying to not respond with violence himself. Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain really drive this movie forward and they slowly transform to the end of this movie. It is a little slower paced and if you can handle that you will enjoy this one. I would consider this the highest +1 you could give.

Intern Review: Ward has a wife and all his friends want to kill her. When they do they then have to try and cover it up. This should be really funny and the opportunities seem endless but it just doesn't deliver. The end actually make the whole movie useless. So just don't bother watching this let's kill this movie.

WORRIED OR EXCITED

Directed by Angelina Jolie Starring Jack O'Connell, Miyavi, and Domhnall Gleeson

Intern Review: This is a WWII survival story and there is a lot of surviving to get through. It was film with what looks like really nice shots that come across as green screen shots with the background and take you out of the film. This is a low +1 and I wouldn't recommend it. Angelina Jolie appears to be a better actress then director at this point in time.

Directed by Tim Burton Starring Amy Adams, and Christoph Waltz

Intern Review: Finally a movie without Johnny Depp. Christoph Waltz also tones down is eccentric acting which really helps with the story.... Which is that Margaret Keane (Adams) paints pictures of kids with big eyes that become a success however Walter Keane (Waltz) takes credit there is some drama behind this based off a true story comedy. Go out and enjoy the dramedy that ensues. This was the best movie of the lineup.

Directed by Clint Eastwood Starring Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller, Kyle Gallner and Cole Konis

Intern Review: This is a war movie that tries to tackle PTSD and apparently you just have to be a man to deal with it or I guess you don't have to deal with it if you are a man. You are also apparently a coward if you are dealing with PTSD and you kill someone who is a man about it. If this doesn't sound sarcastic, it is. This story has a lot of controversy surrounding it and it appears that we only get a very slim one sided version of it. I would suggest watching almost any other war movie. Don't buy this instead go buy some guns and join the army to kill some family's that are caught up in wars that have been started by other people. Also hate my guts and call me ignorant but that still doesn't make this movie any good.

The physical acting of Redmayne is breath taking and Jones commands the screen like few others. Watch this for the acting alone and you will have a good night.

The millionaire is boring the wrestlers are boring this story is boring and if you can stay awake for the great prosthetic and Steve Carell doing a good job acting that is great for you.

Intern Review: Interstellar is about a mission to save the human race by looking for planets that are habitable to humans. A group of astronauts go to different planets by way of wormhole to attempt to bring the human race from earth or start over via artificial insemination. Space shots are great and the planets they get to are awesome as well. If you like science fiction and Christopher Nolan you should like this one. However having some background in science may be helpful as there is much more you can take away with the real science that goes on in the background of this movie.

Intern Review: Men, Women, & Children is a movie that is all about relationships and how everyone is messed up in their own way. It explores sex, anorexia, video games, suicide and child pornography. I found myself connecting with or being aggressively against all of the characters in this movie. Critics and viewers appear to have lost their way and taken this as an attack on social media which it is not. It may have hit a little too close to home for some people. This movie is great and I suggest watching it to everyone.

Intern Review: A new recruit joins an experience troupe on a tank team to fight the Nazi's in WWII. This covers love and war and what the experience will do to a regular joe. Its like 300 but in WWII with only 5 people instead of 300 and fighting about 500-1000 baddies. I like it but will eventually be slotting it into a group of good but forgettable movies.

This movie is about estranged relationships has a little bit of incest and crappy pants and a lot of heavy drama. I like the relationships that everyone has and D'Onofrio shows us why he is a great actor by playing any role really.

Trailer #3: The Town That Dreaded Sundown

Directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon starring Addison Rimlin, Veronica Cartwright and Anthony Anderson

Intern Review: The Town That Dreaded Sundown starts out strong and has potential. However most things with strong potential let you down as did this town. This is a story of a serial killer who comes back years later to commit the same crimes over again years later. All the moments that are supposed to be intense seem to fall short and the twist ending is not so twisty and makes for a poor ending. This filming was quality but this should have been a much darker movie. Maybe if there is an uncensored version that comes out watch that one.

When one of the smuggled gang members disagrees with what is going on he helps the FBI shut down the whole operation.

Intern Review: This Is Where I Leave You is a story of a dysfunctional family dealing with the death of their father. They are forced to spend a week together as their fathers dying wish. I believe that this movie was marketed as a comedy but should have been a dramady. I enjoy the serious scenes and the humour that lightened things up with all the adultery and death that is present throughout the movie. I found it easy to connect with Bateman's character and disagree with all of the critics apparently, because I found this movie enjoyable.

Intern Review: There is a lot of suicide talk and attempts with one success in this movie. After a botched attempt that Milo (Hader) has to take his own life his sister Maggie (Wiig) gets the call while in the middle of her own attempt to kill herself. They get together and try to build a relationship after not having seen each other in a decade. It has little humour which might be a blow for the Hader/Wiig fans but they pull off the strange estranged family reunion life journey. Watch out because this movie may make you want to kill yourself. But it was good.

YOU HAVE TO BE

WORRIED OR EXCITED

Leader Pie Chart

It is all knotted up at 25 a piece from TPP#9

Directed by Scott Frank starring Liam Nesson, Dan Stevens, David Harbour and Astro

Intern's Review: It starts out with the promise of a great action movie then delivers no action until the end of the movie. A PI (Nesson) is hired to track down the killers of a drug dealers wife and deliver them to the drug dealer alive. This is nowhere near the set of skills I wanted to see from Liam. All in all it was pretty underwhelming.

Nathan is excited it could have been called Taken Gifts
Daniel was excited too for this Taken 3 even though it isn't related.

Rotten Tomatoes 65% IMDb 6.5 Intern 0

Winner: No points on this one for the losers.

Directed by Matthew Saville starring Joel Egerton, Jai Courtney and Tom Wilkinson

Intern's Review: A police officer makes a mistake and his morels are compromised. He has to make a decision to either turn himself in for a crime he committed unintentionally or keep the secret while being pressured from the other two detectives to not say anything and to turn himself in. It walks the line making you decide if you want him to do the wrong thing or the right thing. The sound editing is great at drawing you into scenes in this movie.

Nathan got excited as he likes what Joel Edgerton is doing with his career.
Daniel followed suit with excitement wanting to be worried but stayed excited

Rotten Tomatoes 74% IMDb 6.1 Intern +2

Winner: They Tie this movie was good for making you question what the right thing to do is.

Directed by Eli Roth starring Lorenza Izzo, Ariel Levy, Aaron Burns and Kirby Bliss Blanton

Intern's Review: Cannibals are coming the cannibals are coming! This movie has a lot of wasted space followed up with some great horror moments in the middle. The first cannibal scene actually made me squirm. However the first third of this movie doesn't need to exist, as well as the ending. A group of activists get into a plain crash and get stuck with a tribe of cannibals who take them out one at a time and eat the activists one at a time. Until the final girl lives.

Nathan is worried and this will be a flaming piece of shit.
Daniel was very cautiously excited and has concerns with Eli Roth.

Rotten Tomatoes IMDb Intern +1

Winner: Nathan the bad out weighs the good in this horror flick.

Directed by Daniel Schechter starring Jennifer Aniston, Yasiin Bey, John Hawkes, Isla Fisher, and Tim Robbins

Intern's Review: A couple of first time kidnappers take a rich mans wife and attempt to get a $100,000,000 ransom. Things take a turn as they should with inexperience. Unfortunately it is a turn for the not caring as this movie has many characters that I enjoy watching but the movie just doesn't seem to keep you connected.

Nathan is worried because Elmore Lenard is great but hates Be Cool and loves Get Shorty. He thinks it'll be like Be Cool worried.
Daniel guesses he is excited through clenched teeth

Rotten Tomatoes 64% IMDb 5.8 Intern +1

Winner: Nathan it's not as good as Be Cool or Get Shorty.

Directed by Wes Ball starring Dylan O'Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Will Poulter, and Thomas Brodie-Sangster

Intern's Review: Based on the best selling book by James Dashner. When adults test kids by putting them in situations where the kids start to die with mecha spiders and mazes. The kids start Tom Cruise running throughout this movie and we find out that Wicked is Good and She is the last one, ever. 1/3 Hunger Games, 1/3 Battle Royale, 1/3 Lord of the Flies.

Nathan got worried.
Daniel got worried as well it's like Hunger Games/Running Man/Game of Thrones

Rotten Tomatoes 63% IMDb 6.8 Intern +1

Winner Nathan and Daniel both get a point for this one.

Directed by Nick Powell starring Nicolas Cage and Hayden Christensen

Intern's Review: Another movie about a kingdom needing assistance from some out of place white people to help save it. Don't bother watching this one not even for how bad it is as it can't even deliver on being crappy enough to be good bad.

Nathan was excited by how bad this could be.
Daniel thought it was too much worried and screamed horribleness and greatness combined.

YOU HAVE TO BE

WORRIED OR EXCITED

Trailer #1: Sin City: A Dame To Kill For

Directed by Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez starring Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba, Josh Brolin, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Rosario Dawson, Bruce Willis, and Eva Green.

Synopsis: It's like an extension of the first movie with the plot that Eva Green is a Dame To Kill For. If you think she is you might like this movie. I enjoyed it but had no expectations, if you liked the first one I would give this a chance as it is enjoyable in a not as good as the original kinda way.

Nathan worried about people walking away from the project and couldn't live up to the first one.

Daniel was worried as well for the same reasons.

Rotten Tomatoes 43% IMDb 6.6 Intern +1 or +2

Winner: They lose and need to take the sticks out of their butts and just enjoy this for what it is. Still based off of the comics it wasn't as good as number one but still enjoyable.

Directed by Ben Falcone starring Melissa McCarthy and Susan Sarandon.

Synopsis: Tammy is a comedy just like any other if you like comedy you'll like this one I guess. A grandma and granddaughter go on a trip together and grow from hating each other to loving one another. I laughed a few times which is more than usual, which means this movie was okay.

“Oh Jesus she’s cryin up a storm, somebody go hug her.”

Daniel is worried even though he likes Melissa McCarthy.

Rotten Tomatoes 23% IMDb 4.8 Intern +1

Winner: They win after both losing

Directed by Justin Steeley starring Christopher Copeland and Hannah Wallace

Synopsis: A new winner on the worst movie ever made. It is like the Blair Witch Project in that it was filmed the same way but with HD cameras and that it was really bad. It is so bad that no critics have rated it with Rotten Tomatoes. This is actually the worst movie I have ever seen, so bad that I am not even giving it a synopsis.

Nathan was happy that he could join Daniel in their worried feelings.

Daniel was worried about bad acting

Rotten Tomatoes No critic reviews IMDb 3.5 Intern 0

Synopsis: The Rattling Arc is the train that goes on forever. When the lower class occupants that are supposed to stay in the rear of the train start a revolt, bloodshed ensues on the Arc. Its all about class, upper class, lower class, and everyone staying in their rightful spots. This might be the worst idea in ages and just had to be made.

Nathan is worried about the super train and how ridiculous this looks and sounds.

Daniel was excited agreeing with the guest that it seems like the adult Hunger Games.

Rotten Tomatoes 95% IMDb 7.0 Intern -2

Winner: Daniel because this was a wild piece of shit that was exciting with the first good negative score on the scale.

Directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu starring Michael Keaton, Zach Galifanakis, Edward Norton and Emma Stone.

Synopsis: A washed up actor tries to make himself relevant again but producing directing and starring in his own play. With the help of a know it all actor who joins the play at the last minute. This movie is a satire on the whole play community with a blend of fantasy/schizophrenia and beautiful long single shots. If you like art movies with strong acting directing and cinematography you'll like this. Finally an Oscar for Best Picture and Director that we can all agree on.... There was the occurrence of Edward Norton getting snubbed again for supporting actor which I will not let pass.

Nathan was excited by what was lining up with this trailer. Director is amazing and Michael Keaton playing himself.

Daniel was holy shit excited for a Michael Keaton comeback.

Rotten Tomatoes 92% IMDb Intern +3

Winner: Tie this is the third time since 2000 that the Academy choose the film I agreed with for Best Picture.

THE WINNER OR TPP#9 IS DANIEL

The Intern Archive Update #8

October 31, 2015 / The Intern

YOU HAVE TO BE

WORRIED OR EXCITED

Directed by Luc Besson starring Scarlett Johansson and Morgan Freeman.

Synopsis: Lucy has the misfortune of having been brought into a drug smuggling ring and had some drugs inserted into her belly for transportation. Then the fortune of having the bag break giving her percentage points of unlocking up to 100% of her brains potential. The drug smuggling group tries to kill her for the rest of the movie while Lucy is on a time line to share her knowledge before she dies. To much reference to real science with the story being full of science falseness to make a connection with me. If you can get past the science issues I have you may enjoy this movie a lot.

Nathan excited about the suspension of disbelief and like the superhero side of this and also likes Luc Besson and his female heroins.

Daniel worried about this trying to be to many things like Matrix/Limitless and the science crap.

Rotten Tomatoes 66% IMDb 6.4 Intern +1

Winner: Daniel because the bad science was too much for me to take.

Directed Dave Green by starring Teo Halm, Astro, Reese Hartwig and Ella Wahlestedt.

Synopsis: Kids decide to spend their last night together in search of something they don't know. When they find out what they were looking for was an alien they decide to try and "E.T." it and help send it home. It appears this movie was made with GoPro cameras and the whole time its like a home video. A very well done home video but it is still like a home video.

Nathan was excited because this could be this generations E.T.

Daniel was worried with inflection in his voice and doesn't connect as he is older now and not interested.

Rotten Tomatoes 48% IMDb 5.8 Intern +1

Winner: Daniel because it would have been better if the gopros were used for portions of the movie instead of the whole thing.

Directed by Zach Lipovsky starring Dylan Postl and Stephanie Bennett.

Synopsis: Leprechaun Origins is a failure on every level. It doesn't even have anything to do with Leprechauns. Everything that made the actual original Leprechaun movies good was missing. Don't bother with this WWE disaster.

Nathan was don't even need to ask worried

Daniel worried starting with WWE studios and moving on to how ridiculous the originals were and this one looks to serious.

Rotten Tomatoes No critics have reviewed IMDb 3.3 Intern 0

Winner: Daniel and Nathan both win on this one.

Directed by John Michael McDonagh starring Brendan Gleeson, Chris O'Dowd and Kelly Reilly.

Synopsis: A good priest who has done nothing wrong gets threatened with death for the sins that other priests have committed. This story leads up to that action taking place. It has strong relationships and believable actors and actresses. I would recommend this for a one time viewing.

Nathan was worried it might be boring.

Daniel got excited because it looks like it wouldn't be boring.

Rotten Tomatoes 89% IMDb 7.4 Intern +2

Winner: Daniel because he just seems to be nailing this episode.

Directed by Michael Cuesta starring Jeremy Renner, Robert Patrick, Jena Sims

Synopsis: A reporter tries to uncover a CIA drug smuggling scam that took place a decade earlier. Its like a conspiracy theory without the theory.

Nathan rushed the bell excited and can't get over Jeremy Renner's hair in movies.

Daniel was excited too

Rotten Tomatoes 77% IMDb 7.0 Intern +2

Winner: Daniel and Nathan both tie on the win again.

Trailer Table Scraps: What We Do In The Shadows

Directed by Jemaine Clement starring Jemaine Clement, Talka Waititi and Cori Gonzalez-Macuer

Synopsis: What We Do In The Shadows is a mocumentary on the lives of vampires. There are a lot of great moments through-out this whole movie. I recommend it if you like documentaries or mocumentaries. It is just a lot of dumb fun.

Nathan and Daniel didn't get worried or excited as this was an extra trailer that was already showing in the theatre. So no points and we may as well pretend this never happened.

Rotten Tomatoes 96% IMDb 7.6 Intern -2

WINNER OF TRAILER PARK PODCAST #8: DANIEL 5-2
Who got every movie right with my reviews that would be a first for either cousin.
