Time to Vote: The Bro’s Code Year Old Movie Review
Okay everyone, now that I’ve gotten out this past weekend’s review, it’s that time again. Time to decide which film that came out one year ago you can punish me with by making me watch and review it. It’s kind of like MST3K, only without the sidekick robots.
Here are the movies that came out this coming weekend, one year ago. As always, please leave your votes for which movie you would most like to see me tortured by watching reviewed in the comments section.
Goya’s Ghosts(2006) R
Initially favored by royalty, Spanish painter Francisco Goya (Stellan Skarsgård) is targeted by the Spanish Inquisition when he paints young Inés (Natalie Portman), whom the church views as a heretic. Twenty years later, Inés is released from the dungeon and requests Goya’s help in finding the daughter she bore while imprisoned. Javier Bardem and Randy Quaid also star in Academy Award-winning director Milos Forman’s epic true story.
Set in 1962, this colorful adaptation of the Tony-winning musical (spawned by director John Waters’ cult classic of the same name) follows ambitious teen Tracy Turnblad (Nikki Blonsky), who tries to integrate a racially divided Baltimore one watusi at a time. The film’s star-studded cast includes John Travolta, Queen Latifah, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, Allison Janney, James Marsden and Amanda Bynes.
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry(2007) PG-13
Firefighters Chuck Ford (Adam Sandler) and Larry Allensworth (Kevin James) are guy’s guys, loyal to the core — which is why when widower Larry asks Chuck to pose as his gay lover so that he can get domestic partner benefits for his kids, his buddy agrees. Things get dicey, however, when a bureaucrat comes calling, and the boys are forced to present a picture of domestic bliss in this comedy co-starring Dan Aykroyd and Steve Buscemi.
With Earth’s life source — the sun — dying out 50 years in the future, it seems the planet’s days may be numbered in this sci-fi thriller starring Cillian Murphy and Michelle Yeoh. Humanity’s only hope lies with a crew of astronauts transporting a device that will revitalize the sun. But an accident, a deadly error and a distress signal from a vessel that vanished years ago leave the cosmonauts fighting for survival … and for their sanity.
