Hardcore Henry Review (The Fathom fan Experience)

Hey O&G fans, Thursday April 7th we were invited to Fathom Hardcore Henry Fan experience to see a early showing of the movie. The Fan experience featured a Q&A with the writer/Director and star of the film. Fans were also given a prequel comicabout the main villain of the movie. As always here is a synopsis of the film:

Hardcore Henry is a first-person action film from the eyes of Henry, who's resurrected from death with no memory. He must discover his identity and save his wife from a warlord with a plan to bio-engineer soldiers.

REVIEW

First I want to say in my opinion this film, that is a little over an hour and thirty mins was pretty awesome. I'm a fan of FPS games so this was something I would enjoy. Hardcore Henry was shot almost entirely with Gopro camera's (Which the director explained during the Q&A that the camera's are mounted just under the nose and not the forehead for an accurate view). Anyone who saw director Ilya Naishuller youtube short Bad Mother F%$ker will recognize a few of the scenes and characters in the movie.

The Russian-made action flick, mimics the experience of watching someone else play afirst-person shooter with sub-Duke Nukem humor. The title character, played by a team of stuntmen, is an amnesiac super-soldier who wakes up in an airship above Moscow and plummets into the city below in an escape pod so he can rescue his scientist wife, Estelle (Haley Bennett), from the clutches of telekinetic albino Akan (Danila Kozlovsky).

The action was good and pretty brutal (especially the last fight scene). Henry dispatches with his enemies with a number of weapons from Knives, Guns, Bricks, Sticks, etc... so the killings get very creative. The story didn't lag (C.O.D Joke) and had a cute song/Dance number whileone of the characters explains his Avatars. One of my two problem with the movie is the shaky camera at times, which can make you a bit dizzy if you're not used to it. You also start to lose the point of the story a few times, but it will all make sense when you get to the end.

Overall Hardcore Henry is a good movie that might not be everyone. The action is great and will appeal to anyone into FPS. My final review of Hardcore Henry is 3 stars.

Dirty Grandpa Review

Hey O&G fans, Last week we got a chance to see a screening DIRTY GRANDPA starring Robert De Niro and Zac Efron. Now before I get into the review of the movie, here is a quick synopsis of this feature:

Dirty Grandpa

Right before his wedding, an uptight guy is tricked into driving his grandfather, a perverted former Army general, to Florida for spring break. Feat. Robert De Niro (Dick Kelly), Zac Efron (Jason Kelly), Zoey Deutch (Shadia), and Aubrey Plaza (Lenore) film directed by Dan Mazer and written by John Philips.

REVIEW

Ok first let me say I enjoyed this move!! Most people who will watch this, may not like the raunchy behavior or over exaggerated dick and fart jokes, but that's what makes this movie good. Funny one-liners like (“This entire state is licensed as a gun range!” Mantzoukas’ character says of Florida during a memorable introduction). This movie reminds me of the first American Pie (before it got sequel ed to death) You really had no Idea what it was about, but once it started it was fun till the end.

ACTING

The acting was ok. Everyone played their roles well so if you're expecting so Oscar worthy performance from De Niro, this is not the movie for you. That is not to say he didn't play his role well. This movie says it all in the title and that's what Robert De Niro was. Zac Efron was pretty funny in this role, even when he was trying to be serious (but he still can't top the character he played in Neighbors).

Over all the movie is entertaining with decent jokes. This is a good matinee or a night with friends and you just wanna watch a mind-less comedy. If you are easily offended this won't be the movie for you. I give Dirty Grandpa 2 1/2 stars.
