Theater Whore: Runner Runner

I wasn't dying to see this new movie Runner Runner but I like Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake appeals to my gay side so I decided to give it a try. I wasn't quite sure what it was about besides poker which I've played two times and discovered that I have absolutely no poker face whatsoever. But this isn't about real poker. Its online poker which I absolutely don't understand why people play. This is about Timberlake's character Richie Furst which is so not a real name getting in trouble in college for helping an online gambling company. He is told to stop so bets all his money college money on a site called Midnight Black and discovers that they are cheating.

This part confused me. This guy who is broke has the money, after losing it all, still is able to book a flight to Costa Rica, rent a room, and have enough pull to get a face to face with Affleck's Ivan Block. Yeah. That happened. So Block feels bad for Furst being ripped off and fires the team that ripped him off and hires him just like that.

Richie is doing well and getting in deep with all this nonsense when of course he meets a woman named Rebecca that seems to be the neighborhood doorknob. He gets with her, Block is all like “I see you met a new friend!” and she is all “Tee-hee!” and Furst is all “Derp! Latina Vagina!” which is totally a thing.

Theater Whore: In Time

Sometimes when I write these reviews I wanna sound like a little kid. I don’t always want to devote even a paragraph to some movies I watch. With this one I just want to shout “This is stupid!” and throw my toys on the ground and walk away. But I wont do that. You all deserve to be warned about this dumbass film. The director Andrew Niccol who wrote and/or directed The Truman Show, Gattaca, and Lord of War. So he has the ability to do good. But with this nonsense? Nope. Its like he didn’t even try.

The movie stars Justin Timberlake (Friends With Benefits, Yogi Bear, Social Network) is Will Salas. He’s a young man living his life on the clock. Literally. In this future or whatever the hell it is everyone is given 25 years to live until a glowing clock on your arm starts ticking down the amount of time you have left before you die. Why? Don’t know. How do the clocks work? Is it science, magic, or a digital Jesus? Cant tell you. Don’t know. His mama played by Olivia Wilde (House MD, Cowboys & Aliens, The Change Up) is celebrating her birthday. Yeah, she is 25 as well. They stop aging as well. Fuck me. They don’t even say how this occurs. It just does.
