This film is closer to the original “A Christmas Story” than any other of the renditions like the Daniel Stern (Home Alone, City Slickers) “A Christmas Story 2” a very sad return to the franchise. Then most recently, the Maya Rudolph (Saturday Night Live, Bridesmaids) helmed, A Christmas Story Live is strong proof of this holiday classic.
Have people ever invaded your space to the point you feel their breath against the nape of your neck, a stranger’s breath, in such a violating manner and you become immediately irritated?… Only for them to get right back in your zone of privacy.
The Spy/ Heist~ Thriller, that is not actually a Heist or Spy, story is a domain known all too well by Director Guy Ritchie. Ritchie’s sense of humor may be his greatest gift to his films and Operation Fortune: Russe De Guerre may be his most accomplished to date.
A true tale from the 80s era of excess, just say no and finds its way to the silver screen. Not hard to find the humor in a bear on cocaine, unless you’re on the receiving end of teeth and claws. Smartly, seeing the lore surrounding the 1985 newscasts that covered the incident of a bear overdosing on cocaine, Elizabeth Banks (Pitch Perfect, Hunger Games) has taken this story to new heights.
Ok!!!…. Before I tell you what’s up with Ant-Man and why you MUST see this film! If, you are really a Marvel fan!.. No seriously… A Gawd’ Damned MARVEL FAN!!!
It is PHASE 5’s first film,.. do you NOT remember how crazy the last two segments have been with world/universe-swapping stuff. Well to tell this layer of a story you have to introduce the story in steps that can’t be too steep, and may not pay off till later (for your mind) but is that not truly more satisfying.
