Chappie Lacks the Two Things It Pretends to Be About

Film School Rejects - 3 hours 43 min ago

Chappie Lacks the Two Things It Pretends to Be About Columbia Pictures Writer/director Neill Blomkamp is only three features into what promises to be a long career, but he’s already developed some very clear patterns and themes. Basically, he pairs incredible CGI visuals with subtlety-free narratives centered on a main character who’s altered/enhanced in some life-altering way. District 9 tackled apartheid, Elysium blew the lid off wealth disparity and now his latest film explores yet another social injustice — the promise and danger of artificial intelligence.

The Playlist - Mon, 2015-03-02 09:41

While whoever decided to put Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart in a movie together probably got a promotion, but it's not rocket science: the latter is one of the biggest, hottest comedy names at the moment, while Ferrell just has to show up and a movie becomes 17% funnier (this is scientifically proven, so don't argue).

ScreenRant - Sat, 2015-02-28 10:29

Will Forte Says ‘MacGruber 2′ Is His Next Movie To say that films based on Saturday Night Live sketches have a spotty history would be a bit of an understatement.
