Stretch – Reasonably watchable.

NSFW trailer
Joe Carnahan still doesn't get his due break. His career pretty much defined by cancelled and unrealized projects. His personal films like Narc and The Grey are pretty great while his studio friendly movies a bit stale but still above the usual formulaic cash grab. “Stretch” was completed for some time but never got released any earlier because they thought they had a chance to bank on Chris Pine popularity. Nevertheless Mr. Pine did not make it into A-list when his reboot of Jack Ryan tanked. The studio puts this movie up for sale to cut losses, yet no one willing to pick up the distribution tab.
A self-discovery cum redemption tale of a failed actor/limo driver (Patrick Wilson) who thought he caught a break when eccentric billionaire (Chris Pine) offers him a big tip to do some biddings for the night. So we are led to a night of debauchery excess with sex and violence. There are some pretty recognizable face popping in and out of the movie to advance the story. Overall, it’s not a bad movie per se, just felt a little behind to current pop culture taste. It’s an alternative to Hangover Part 1, if raunchy r-rated comedy without going too dumb is your thing. Worth giving this flick a watch.

No review zootopia planning 2 watch imax soon

Long long review for whaaaaaaaaaaat?!

Got people read one meh??!!??

Okay lah okay lah!!

Most of you will know, John Carpenter directed Halloween (1978) and Halloween II (1981) which were well received.

Well, it spurred on the "slasher" films (Friday the 13th Anyone?)

And then Rob Zombie (Yes, THAT Rob Zombie) rebooted the franchise Halloween (2007) & Halloween II (2009) and for the life of me, I am vague on whether I actually watched those....

I was not motivated to watch this latest iteration, frankly, because

1). I am slasher film fatigue

2). I was disappointed that Sony did not treat us to THE short 3D remastered version of Michael Jackson's Thriller in front of this (Sony, WHAT THE HEY!!! When are we going to get to SEE that!!!)

Okay, so what happened. The critics.... like this movie. And then VERY cynically friends who are cynical to movies, watched and praised this movie!!

Paint me intrigued.

I went.

I saw.

I like!!!

From the first frame to the last.

Do note that this only acknowledges the original John Carpenter's movies and nothing else, so don't get confused.

Michael is TRULY deranged.

And it is.... infectious??

I will stop there.

Plunk down your money and go see this.

You know you want to.
