The Review: Hotel Artemis

Hotel Artemis 4/10

This movie was not terrible. It just seemed like whoever directed Hotel Artemis was out of their depth. There is a really good cast of people including Jodie Foster, Sterling K. Brown, Sofia Boutella, Jeff Goldblum, Charlie Day, Brian Tyree Henry, Jenny Slate, Dave Bautista, and Zachary Quinto. Foster runs this hotel for criminals where the rules are that no weapons are allowed, no non members, and no killing of guests. Picture that hotel from John Wick but not as good. I like those kinda rules like when criminals still have some sort of guidelines they have to go by. This movie however seemed to break all these rules in one night. It didn't seem. It did. During an insane night filled with riots and curfews the most feared man that owns the hotel shows up, Foster has to operate on him, and killers that know each other from the past just happen to all be there at the same time.

The Review: Bushwick

Bushwick 5/10

I wanted to like this movie Bushwick more than I did and I'll explain why I did not. This stars Dave Bautista as Stupe and Brittany Snow as Lucy. Lucy and her man arrive in Bushwick via subway and they notice how quiet and empty it is. Then a guy on fire runs into the station and her dude runs to see what is going on. He gets blown up and Lucy immediately races into the waiting arms of danger and gets shot at by a militia and almost sexually assaulted by some guys until Stupe beats one to death and helps her. The rest of the movie is them trying to find out why the city is on fire and people are rioting. They find out and I go “Maybe...but no. People are not that organized. Or secretive.”

Theater Whore: Guardians Of The Galaxy Volume 2

Guardians Of The Galaxy Volume 2 – 10/10

There will be spoilers! This movie is awesome! Miss Jackie and I headed to the Arclight over in Hollywood after some damn good food at Plan Check and checked out Guardians Of The Galaxy Volume 2. I have not laughed or tried not to cackle so much while watching a movie outside my house in a long ass time. This movie takes place a few months after the first one and it feels like it. The team isn't this well oiled machine that can do no wrong. It starts off with a massive battle with the team versus a creature that is arriving to devour a battery. During this time Baby Groot is making everyone laugh in the theater and Gamora and Quill are arguing. Drax is acting like a lunatic diving into the monsters mouth. They were hired by a race called the Sovereign who will give them Nebula in return. This all happens in the beginning of the movie along with a flashback showing Peter Quill's/Star Lord's dad with his mom before she passed away.
