Review: THE LUCKY ONES


"No, thank you."

What a perfect way to spin to the other side of an idea, and what a perfect line to sum up Neil Burger's, The Lucky Ones. It's a simple movie, filled to the brim with heart, humor, and, if you can spot it, poetry.

The Lucky Ones tells the story of three soldiers on medical leave from the war: Colee Dunn (Rachel McAdams), Fred Cheaver (Tim Robbins), and T.K. Poole (Michael Peña). When JFK Airport is shut down due to blackouts, Cheaver offers to drive Colee and T.K. back to his hometown of Louisville, so they can catch a flight out of there. When the drive ends up continuing to Las Vegas, the rest is a fantastically acted story of three "lucky" strangers.

Kratos' Next Victim Will Not Be A God


Breaking News!

With yesterdays excellent news of Kenneth Branaghs possible involvement in Thor, I felt that there would be some sort of nerd backlash and sure enough there is. A series of films based on the God of War games has been in hell for quite some time. Today there has been a new piece of news. Brett Ratner has signed on to direct this video game juggernaut. Please join me video game fans in a collective sob.
