Saving Pirate Ryan

And now another addition of Rueuhy's Reviews.  Where entertainment meets it's match.

"How many old ideas have to be recycled before Hollywood figures it out?  Well, the money's good so it may take them awhile.  Hopefully they learn a little bit of a lesson with The Loan Ranger.   The idea of a high interest money loan service using a Texas state marshall to recoup lost payments from the borrowers is just cheezy.  And I don't really understand why an Indian gets involved.  It was just a strange concept for a movie. I was holding out a little hope for the newest production from Jerome Bruckheimer called Saving Pirate Ryan.  I'm glad they got Hanks and Matt Damon to reprise their roles but I didn't understand the premise of him returning home and then deciding to become a pirate and attacking US naval tug boats.  It was just a little bit too far fetched.  Or another Disney classic turned bad - Driving Miss Daisy.  The whole idea of Donald Duck becoming the chauffeur for Daisy Duck and then marrying her?  This has just gotten ridiculous.  Also in the animated column we see the return of Stu and the gang in Pixar's sequel to their real money maker - Mobster's University.  But how far does a monster have to fall?  Drugs, crime, money laundering?  I guess with names like Mikey the rat Wazowski and Jimmy the woolly Sullivan we should have expected it.  Sequels are the way to go.  This is really evident with the upcoming, soon to be classic, Cloudy with a Chance of Mothballs.  We find Flint at it again but this time he wants to save the local retirement home.  The monkey really does steal the show with his antics and poo throwing.  "Those aren't mothballs or meatballs!! Clear the dining hall!!"  It's just really good family entertainment.  And coming in October we have the third original remake of the classic Carrie. This time she gets blood dumped on her at her senior prom.  And then, just to make it a little different then the other two Carrie movies, she unleashes a telekinetic wrath on her small town but she hires a crew of illegal aliens to clean up afterwards and there is a probe conducted by Homeland Security into the hiring practices by a girl in high school.  Kudo's to the team from Sony who was not afraid to politicize a horror movie and basically spit in the face of Stephen King in the process.  Also in the horror genre we will see Paranormal Activity V also in October.  The brain child of Paramount Pictures to finally ask the hypothetical question - can four sequels really explain the interest in the first one?  If you were lucky enough to have found the first one interesting it is the hope of the studio to take that initial interest, contort it, mutilate it, bury it for several cycles of the moon, dig it up, tear out a small piece of your brain and fry it and give it back to you.  It's their way of keepin' it real.  Well, that's it for Rueuhy's Reviews and stay tuned because next week we're gonna take a look at Red 2 and let you know if it's possible to extract the embalming fluid and make Bruce Willis really come alive on screen again."

Thus ends another edition of Rueuhy's Reviews and my name is Rueuhy and I approve this blog.
