Introductions

Movies drive America. They bring in crowds every weekend and make millions of dollars by entertaining people for a few hours. More than ever, people are often coming away from movies with their wallets considerably lighter. That's not why I'm here.

I'm here to go through that sludge we call the film industry.

My name is Grant. I'm almost 18 and I want to do this full time. I mention this more so that should I be picked up by a newspaper, they will have a general idea of what I'm getting at. I'm addicted to movies. I go see movies almost every weekend, so I sort of know what I'm talking about.

Another thing. Simply because the title of the blog is "Your Film Sucks!" doesn't mean every film I review will be crap. Quite the contrary actually. I review films based on how I see them, not based on every one else's opinion. I will review films on a five-star scale. Five stars makes the perfect movie. Three means your movie is solid. One star means it's crap. No star means that I literally could not sit through your movie because it was so intolerable. I have only given no stars to three movies.

No Star Movies:

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Dude, Where's My Car?
The Tree of Life

Let's begin.

Suicide Squad

First midnight showing since 2012's Prometheus. Bought tickets two weeks in advance. So pumped and excited. Couldn't wait. Oh, how utterly disappointing it was. Now, this may imply that I did not enjoy the film. I enjoyed it in the way one would enjoy laughing gas, pleasurable when used (in this case viewed), but after it's over you're in a lot of pain. Suicide Squad is DC's attempt at an anti-hero team. The comics were very enjoyable, so most expected to enjoy the movie. I will say it is not as bad as the mainstream critics say it was, but that said, it wasn't much better. The film follows Deadshot (Played by Will Smith), Harley Quinn (Played by Margot Robbie), Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman), Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney), El Diablo (Jay Hernandez), and Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) as they go through Midway City, attempting to stop Enchantress (Cara Delevingne). Everyone is the city has evacuated, so the government sends the most disposable sup

Rogue One: a Star Wars story

Oh, Star Wars . You never fail to disappoint. The most recent title in the famed Star Wars series is not canon. This film, entitled Rogue One: a Star Wars Story , is by no means a tale of an angry boy who is taken away from his mother and how the dark side takes him in. This is a war movie, which yes you can classify all the Star Wars movies as “war movies”, but this one has a darker, richer theme. It feels like what would happen if you made Saving Private Ryan in space. Rogue One takes you on a journey and proves that there is more to the galaxy than the Skywalker family. We follow Jyn Erso, a rebel in the fight after being taken in by Saw Gerrera, Clones Wars veteran, after her father is taken by the Imperials. Fast forward an undescribed amount of time and we see Jyn Erso, now a war criminal, being rescued by the Rebel Alliance. The film follows Erso as she finds a hologram from her father, who designed the Death Star that says there is a flaw in the design that allows th

War Dogs

Yo. It's been a while. Needed to do stuff but for now I'm back. So, anyway, let's get to the review. Walking in, I was under the impression that Todd Phillips' most recent film, War Dogs , would be like previous films he made: a raunchy comedy that pushes the limits on drugs, language, and nudity. This has come to be expected from the guy who directed The Hangover trilogy and Due Date , and who produced Project X . Nope. Whoever decided this film should be marketed as a comedy needs to be fired. This film at most has one or two funny moments. They're quite brief and they serve as a reminder to us all the Todd Phillips has become very much unfunny and his golden days are behind him. It should have marketed as a "based on a true story" political drama. It probably would have done better at the box office then. The film follows two guys with weird, unpronounceable names despite the fact that they are American. David Packouz (played by Miles Teller, w
