The Revenant, The Danish Girl, and Carol 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 Revenant
  • “This movie blew my mind.”
  • “Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy… both giving it all in these roles.”
  • “Shots never-before-seen on film.”
  • “The special effects are wonderful but that scene (with the bear) is all Leo acting. He’s almost like a dancer in that scene to make it so real.”
  • See it!
• The Danish Girl
  • “The true story of one of the world’s first sex-reassignment surgeries.”
  • “Eddie Redmayne’s performance is outstanding.”
  • “Brilliant film.”
  • See it!
• Carol
  • “This is the drama that’s getting an incredible amount of awards buzz… Cate Blanchett… Rooney Mara…”
  • “…it’s extremely slow moving. There are great breaks throughout the film without any dialogue and the score is slow and soothing. There’s a bit of harp. There’s some cello and piano in there.”
  • “It’s sad and the tone is a downer.”
  • “It’s worth it for the Oscar buzz.”
  • Skip It!
