The Longshot Movie | REVIEW

My review on my YouTube channel is up.



I took my fiance out to a lovely Mexican dinner after we watched this film. The first thing she said to me was that she loved every minute of it. The only thing that took her out of the film were the couple next to us who decided to take their shoes completely off. One of the only set backs to having new reclining seats. The first thing that stayed in the back of my mind when the movie began was the run time. I kept asking myself about the parts that will drag. Now I can admit that the movie could have been shorter and there were definitely some areas where the fat could be trimmed but the chemistry between Rogan and Theron is so enjoyable that I could not feel the length of the film anymore, I could only feel the warmth of the story. The parts that hit hardest to me was the feeling that everyone felt like they were enjoying the work they were putting in to the development of this film. When you have a Jonathan Levine directing one of my favorite surprise hits Warm Bodies, I'm not too surprised. He really knows how to capture the heart of a romantic comedy and keep it fresh and extremely funny.

Rogan has been great at casting himself and being cast as the unlikely love interest, as reluctant as the person he is attempting to make us believe he will live happily ever after with. Its happened so many times that now its not so unbelievable. This was not an opposites attract situation, Theron's character as Secretary of State, driven and professional, political giant is living a lifestyle that is not really her true self. You would think that the extremely self destructive an outspoken do-gooder to a fault, Rogan, would be a polar opposite that would never have a chance but the history they share makes the situation of them falling for each other make sense and you keep rooting for them through every scene.

What I loved about this movie was that the cliche moments that in any other romantic comedy from yesteryear would have put the lead characters ad odds by the third act, kept happening throughout the whole movie, but instead of doing the campy thing and letting the lies, truth and haters get in their way. Theron and Rogan fight hard for their happiness and successfully get out of their own ways and allow the logical thing to them set in despite how crazy it looked to everyone else. I applaud this film and the steps the writers took. Longshot is funny as hell and a great addition to the video home library. While its in the theater, if you have not seen it with someone you love, do yourselves a favor.

Rumors and Speculations: The Stories Before The Story

Rumors and Specs!!! 

I wanted to start this new program with Sean on our YouTube channel because I know that it can be a lot of fun for us movie fans to guess what is to come in the next installment of our Beloved the universes. We go to the movies to escape reality and to become a part of something amazing. Even if we lead amazing lives ourselves or just punch a clock with a metal lunch kit and eat the same grilled cheese everyday,  there's something about the world of movies that we all have a connection to.


With the rise of the internet speculating and spreading rumors went hand-in-hand with the
click of a mouse. People love to tell their friends what they assume will happen with a sequel or an upcoming film that we know nothing about because we're not in the production team. Why do we do it? It's because of the characters, the story, the history? You name it, whether it's Spiderman or a regular movie like the eighties classic Clue. Fans love to be a part of the story before the story. We tell ourselves it would be amazing if this happened or it would be awesome if that bad guy did this. Sometimes were right sometimes we are way off. I personally do not like it when people pass off things they know nothing about as the truth. Nine times out of ten it's based on good hunches but if you have nothing to back it up from the actual creators of a film and you pass it off as fact then it's just clickbait and that's what's making things get weird.

Fanboys of all types of genre from westerns to comic book movies take things so personally and we become so ingrained in the development we feel like the purchase of a ticket entitle us to our demands to sway the director to bend to our will. Sometimes producers we'll listen to the fans and you'll see improvements or a switching of gears based on pure fear. We trick ourselves into thinking they're doing it for the fans. No they're doing it because they don't want to lose money. If movie Producers knew that they could put out anything and make a billion dollars even though it will enraged hardcore fans of that source material they would live in a world of pissed off fans happily.

If it doesn't make dollars it doesn't make sense, if that makes sense. Really you'll get writers and directors who listened to the fans and want to make calls and decisions based on the love of the history of a certain piece of material such as a comic book movie. Usually that is because the writer themselves or director are fans as well. Whether or not a movie producer listens to the fans or goes their own way something amazing still can happen when the movie begins. You can watch a movie that goes in a direction you never would have dreamed of and it can become the greatest thing you've ever seen. Sometimes our speculations and are rumors that we here and spread might not match at all what we get. And that's okay. Sometimes we get something better and sometimes we get something worse. Most of the time we get something somewhere in the middle.

This YouTube show called Rumors & Specs will be about speculating ourselves and discussing the rumors that surround. Because whether or not something could be spot-on or complete bull, it's still fun to say "what if". I hope you guys enjoy the show.

P.S. Did you hear that Spiderman might have his own cut scene at the end of civil war that would lead into his stand alone movie with Sony? I could be wrong but wouldn't that be cool? LOL

Talk Me Into It: Love Stinks (1999) French Steward & Bridgette Wilson

Love Stinks (1999)

This is one of my favorite romantic comedies. You'll get a kick out of how this movie starts out to be one of the same A typical, paint by the numbers romances but then the thing that tears them apart are the things they do and the things they fail to do for each other. The hell and torture that comes from both of these people and the bad love advice from friends does not give this movie justice. If you want to see crazy this is it.


Staring French Stewart and Bridgette Wilson. It also includes great names like Bill Bellamy and Jason Bateman.

I hope I can talk you into seeing this film . . . let me know if you hate it or love it and keep the comments coming.
