GET OUT
Part satire,part commentary on modern day race relations and part comedy Get Out is one of the most interesting and involving horror films i have ever seen.
Director and writer Jordan Peele slickly directs this film about a young black man named Chris who along with his white girlfriend travel to meet her parents for the first time.The parents come off as liberal but with some condescending edges.
It's not long before Chris notices the odd behavior of the black servants and realizes something sinister is going on.
Peele takes jabs at racism,interracial relationships and if we truly have become more accepting of each other as a whole no matter what our racial background is.
I never really found the film scary but its absolutely engaging,funny,and mysterious.
The cast which includes Daniel Kaluuya,Allison Williams,Catherine Keener, Erika Alexander,Bradley Whitford
,Caleb Landry Jones,Lil Rel Howery,LaKeith Stanfield,Betty Gabriel ,Marcus Henderson and Stephen Root are all incredible
The films only flaws are some predictable turns and the ending is a bit lackluster
Get Out is highly entertaining.Great first time at bat by Peele
Scale of 1-10 a 9
COLLIDE
Another bland action film.Collide actually feels like one big car chase coupled with a story about a guy returning to drug dealing to pay for his girlfriends medical procedures.Then in a heist goes bad and he has to go on the run.
Ben Kingsley turns in an odd but funny performance,Anthony Hopkins sleepwalks through most of the movie.Some of the action is fun though,but most of the film is uninvolving and stiff.
This movie was made for a long plane ride or if you are waiting for a plane to arrive
Play a little game while watching it and try to figure out how much they paid for bullets and cars for this
flick
