Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close Part 1

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
The Grand Theater
Poor- Annoyingly so

Wow, I have never wanted to get up and leave before. It wasn't that the first half of this movie was bad, it was intolerable. It felt like the film makers were trying to be purposely annoying. I mean, we get it the kid has problems but did we have to make him annoying and unlikeable as well? After the first half an hour we got it that this kid was socially awkward. We didn't need to have the point driven home. It was like a nail to the head. The horse was beaten and the horse was dead. And the story didn't make any sense, nor was it believable that you let your very strange child wonder Central Park in NYC and talk to homeless people alone. I'm sorry, I don't buy it.

If I hadn't planned on seeing "The Grey" afterwards I would have left the movie half way through.....

Green Book AMC High Point 8 Superior This was a great movie. It made you laugh, it made you cry. It was a really interesting look at a topic that's been looked in to many times. Even though the theme was the same, this movie felt fresh and original. I can fully support this movie for Best Picture.

Alita

Alita AMC High Point 8 Superior Aka Totally B.A. I took the kiddos to see this movie, mostly because it's a girl power movie and Charlotte loves those kinds of movies. Holy crap! This movie was awesome. The story, the acting, the special effects. James Cameron proves again that if you get a cool idea for a movie and spend a s### ton of money on it. You get an epic film! One of the few movies that I was happy at the end that there's going to  be a sequel!

Isn't It Romantic

Isn't It Romantic AMC High Point 8 Excellent This movie started very poorly. Awkward scenes and questionable camera decisions. Then it got warmed up and it ended up being a cute funny movie. It needs a lot of work to get the top rating, but by the end I enjoyed myself. The soundtrack is awesome!
