The Intern Archive Update #8
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.
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.
