Entourage (2015)
If you liked the show you'll enjoy the movie enough.
The film picks up where the TV show left off and feels like a bit of a hyper short season. Pretty much what you expect, they make a movie and it has problems. There's some sex, there's some feel good moments between favorite characters. It's pretty much what you'd expect from an Entourage movie.
Now whether or not anyone actually wanted this movie is irrelevant. This film is the kind of thing you put on in the background while you do something else - maybe something just boring enough to watch with a girl you want to hook-up with, which at the end of the day probably sits just fine with the people who made this movie.
That said my one negative comment about this film, isn't even really about the film, it's that this film got made in the first place, taking Adrian Greenier away from his recent Documentary projects which are way more interesting than Entourage, even when it was at it's prime. If you have a chance, check out his docs, you won't regret it.
(500) Days of Summer (2009)
A fresh RomCom that doesn't feel like a chore to watch with your girlfriend.
When I first heard about this film I avoided it for a number of years because it hit a little to close to home for my liking. After 3 or 4 years I felt like I needed a catharsis to that situation that had passed, so I decided to watch it.
While parts of it did hit close to home, I found a lot of solace in the film and it was one of the first things to cheer me up in a long time. It was instantly one of my favorite RomComs and even something I would consider in my top 100 films of all time. If you have yet to see it, you really should consider giving it a chance.
I would definitely consider this film a "Must Watch".
War Room (2015)
This might be the worst movie I have ever seen.
This film is just absolute garbage. While the technical side of the film is well done, the camera work, the lighting, etc. The story and the performances of the actors is just laughable.
The film centers around a family that has problems, which mostly come in the form of a dad character who is a little too into his work. The mom and the daughter seem to play victim to this. From there the mother meets a wise older lady that teaches her how to pray and the movie goes pretty much as you would predict from there with one minor exception that I think makes the story worse.
(SPOILER STARTS HERE) - The Father gets caught skimming from work and is fired. That sends him down a spiral and he learns to accept Jesus and prayer into his life and what not. That bothers me because the only reason his character is repentant is because he got caught. Had he not gotten caught but rather came to see the error of his ways on his own that would have made for a much better story. EVERYONE is sorry after they get caught.
Poor acting, worse pacing, and a predictable story make this a movie to miss for sure.
