Arrival and Almost Christmas in Theaters this Weekend
Friend of the Rocker Morning Show, man-about town, movie critic, and raconteur, Ryan Jay stopped by The Rocker Morning Show to talk movies opening this weekend.
- “This film is astonishing.”
- “I actually sat in awe of this movie – just enjoying it but then also impressed so much by how savvy the script is.”
- “I won’t give it away but I will say that at one point I felt very disappointed and then at another, I was, like, Holy Moly! It’s an awesome movie.”
- “The effects are wonderful. It’s electrifying at times, and you actual get a jolt of adrenaline, without any jumps.”
- See it!
- “It has one major strength, some little ones and then a big weakness.”
- “Oscar winner Mo’Nique… not only steals her scenes, she tears them down, chews them up, spits them out and rebuilds them.”
- “The pace is good, but it’s episodic… I appreciate how this family deals with themes universal to many families, it’s a bit heavy handed on the sad factor”
- “But it’s really not anything you have to run to see in the theater… This is one for the couch someday.”
- Rent it!
