Weekly Recap: Angel Has Fallen, Ready Or Not & More!


Another sleepy week for August, but there are still some worthwhile films out there. Not among them is Angel Has Fallen, which simply exists to do nothing impressive except pass time. Fortunately, Ready or Not is the opposite, providing plenty of entertainment as a darkly comedic thriller. A few other releases are still around as well. At home, the superhero horror flick Brightburn is now available. And lastly, be sure to enjoy a couple of new podcasts we put together for all to hear and have fun with. Enjoy and thanks for reading!

In Theaters Now:

  • Angel Has Fallen - Less racist than the previous entry, but now just bland
  • Ready or Not - A fine bit of late-summer fun
  • Brittany Runs a Marathon - No review, but a nice feature that gets plenty right.
  • Tigers Are Not Afraid - No review, but a terrific dark fairy tale

Real Steel = 3 out of 5 Charlie:   You know you’re bringing him home in pieces right? As if one giant freaking robots movie was not enough for one year, we now have a new one that involves the seedy underbelly that is robot boxing.  Well not quite, Real Steel is a fairly standard sports action/drama, which happens to be set a small amount of time in the future where robots have replaced humans in the world of boxing.  However, despite the Rock ’Em Sock ‘Em concept of this film, the central plot of this story revolves around a father and his estranged son learning to come to terms with each other, bonding over the accomplishments of a robot boxer they turn from an underdog into the people’s champ.  Despite its adherence to clichés and many other issues that I had with the film, there was enough heart, likability, and sweet robot fighting action to have kept me involved with what was going on.
