The Martian, The Walk, Sicario 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.

• The Martian:
  • Severe survival.  It’s steeped in science but I didn’t expect it to be as light and funny as it was.  There’s a lot of comedy to it.
  • The whole ending was fantastic.  It suspenseful and exciting and really good.
  • You walk away with a real metaphor in this film that you can really apply to your life.  It has a great message in the end.
  • See it!
• The Walk:
  • …all of my high expectations were met.
  • There’s a great musicality to it, without being a musical; but the camera movement, the use of color…
  • There’s a romanticism and almost fairy tale quality to it.
  • I love Joseph Gordon- Levitt and Charlotte Le Bon are both so great.
  • I could see this again right away.
  • See it!
• Sicario:
  • You’re always on edge and that is to do with his shots and the sound design.
  • It’s not really what I expected it to be because the trailer makes it look more action-y.  But it’s a lot slower.  It’s very well paced.
  • It’s a crime, mystery thriller and it’s a slow burn
  • See it!
