The Sisters Brothers


The Sisters Brothers went far below my expectations and bored my dad and I to death.

The Sisters Brothers open up to a gun fight between Eli Sisters (John C. Reilly) along with his brother, Charlie Sisters (Joaquin Phoenix), as they fight to kill their target. The Sisters Brothers act as hitmen for a guy called, The Commodore. They are instructed to go and kill a chemist named, Hermann Kermit Warm (Riz Ahmed).  
So I went into this film expecting to go and see a fun western movie, and what I go was a borefest. Granted the opening scene was good and the action was fine. However, the film just goes downhill after that. It takes to long to get the ball rolling and at one point it feels like they abandoned the plot altogether in the film. There is so much wasted potential in this movie I'm honestly shocked by how bad it really was. I saw this in an AMC Theater, and they are already overpriced, but this movie was not worth the ticket for admission it was printed on! Honestly it feels like they just pumped out this movie for a quick buck.
I like John C. Reilly, and there are other films that he's in that I enjoyed, but he doesn't bring much into this film. Yet his character Eli, is one of the better acted characters. Riz Ahmed seemed familiar to me and when I watched this film, I swear that I saw him in something else, and lo and behold, I have. Riz is not a bad actor, he just chose a bad film. Joaquin Phoenix is an alright actor in this movie, and he remains static throughout.
Towards the end of the film, the action gets kinda dull as it was like the filmmakers were running out of ideas just to keep the film going as long as they could. Honestly this movie should have been cut at least a half hour in length. For the most part the camera work was fine, and the music was slightly forgettable.
Would I recommend seeing this movie? It might be good to watch if you're having trouble sleeping and you need something to help you drift off to more pleasant dreams, because The Sisters Brothers is one movie I want to fade away.



final score: 2.3/5

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review This Was My Dad's Idea Well... I went and saw Dora and the Lost City of Gold today with my dad, and... the film was a lot funnier than it has any right to be. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a live action adaptation of the Dora tv show on Nickelodeon. Dora, now a teenager, is sent to the City to live with her cousin, Diego, while her parents go exploring for a lost City. When her parents go missing, Dora and her new friends go and search for her parents. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the movie wasn't half bad. There is a ton of tongue and cheek humor. There is some cringe to the Dora and the Lost City of Gold too, but remember, this is a movie made for kids. As a kids film, it does a fine job. The acting was fine, and for a kids film, everyone did alright. Isabela Moner, who played Dora, did a good job portraying the character from what I remember about the show when I was very young. What surprised...

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far The funniest show I've seen in years I've been watching a show on Netflix called Norsemen, and I swear this is the funniest show I've seen in years! I can't understate how funny this show can really be, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say about 90% of the jokes land. Norsemen starts off in 790 AD, and follows a few Vikings and their slaves. The show goes through their lives and their trials, but it's done with a comedic spin. If you haven't yet, watch the trailer above to get a better idea of the show. I will say this, this show reminds me of Monty Python ! Some of the jokes Norsemen  are gut busting, and will almost have you rolling on the floor laughing. In an age of bad comedies this show is gold.  I just started watching season 2 the other day, and I just want to keep watching. The episodes are about a half hour long each, and it's the perfect time frame to get the story across. I wouldn't c...
