The Big Short Review

Preface

The Big Short is a movie starring Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell, Brad Pitt, and a whole bunch of other guys.
It’s directed by Adam McKay, the director of Anchorman and a ton of other Will Ferrell comedies.
And although this movie is funny, it’s definitely not a comedy. It’s this fresh and energetic look at the minds who predicted the 2007 Housing Crisis.
And this movie is really enjoyable, albeit not perfect.

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip Review

Preface

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip is the FOURTH movie in the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie series.
And in this one, Alvin, Simon, and Theodore go on a road trip with this teenager named Miles because the chipmunks’ dad is supposedly about to get engaged to Miles’s mom, and the four plan to stop it.
And well… It’s an Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. Not much else to say!

Preface

Sisters is a new movie starring Amy Poehler and Tina Fey where they play (you guessed it) sisters.
Their parents are selling their childhood home, but the sisters want to have one last memorable party at the house before it’s gone.
And I did not have high expectations going into this movie. The trailers looked terrible, I didn’t know much about the creative team, and it seemed like a joke that this thing was coming out the same weekend as Star Wars.
But the movie wasn’t as terrible as I thought it would be. That being said, it still wasn’t good…

Preface

Sleeping With Other People stars Jason Sudeikis and Alison Brie as Jake and Laney.
Jake and Laney are both awful at holding down solid relationships, but have a weird history together that just might make them perfect for each other…
And this movie is ultimately the 90-minute “will they? won’t they?” story of these two.
And though the movie is cliché for sure, it’s executed in a way that’s funny but keeps the story very sweet.
