Deepwater Horizon and Queen of Katwe 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.

Deepwater Horizon

• “I couldn’t believe how painful it was to watch, but like a train wreck, you cannot look away.”
• “…unlike Titanic, where it seemed they had a couple hours to know it would sink – in this film, it’s all very fast and there’s barely any time to think or try to survive. It’s all instinct.”
• “It’s so scary. This, to me, is scarier than a horror film because it actually happened and it’s real.”
• “Mark Wahlberg is great. The script is good and has some nice comedic moments with the characters at the top. Kate Hudson grounds it a bit too.”
• See it!

Queen of Katwe

• “This is a true story based on the life of the recent chess champion from Uganda…”
• “It’s not the typical sports movie. It’s a story of the human spirit and how gaming can parallel and uplift you.”
• “I really liked the color in this movie. It’s very bright in color… Music is also effectively used; incorporated in a way that helps bring out emotion.”
• “It’s truly inspiring.”
• See it!
