Age Of Adaline
Wait a minute she slept with your dad!!!
Wait a minute she slept with your son!!!
And that is okay??????!!!!!!!
THE THIS IS HOW YOU DO A TRAILER SHADOW AWARD
A Tie:
Star Wars The Force Awakens
Creed
Note both having familiar music. Not saying much and what they do say is enough: "I am his son"
"Chewy we are home". Images of young faces of the new leads and a quick glance of faces we are familiar with. And we are excited and we really do not get too much of the plot which is nice.
THE SHADOW AWARD FOR BIGGEST FALSE TRAILER
While we're Young
Please watch the above trailer because what you are seeing are the only funny parts. It is a drama!!!
Why not just bill it as a drama???!! If you go in expecting a drama it works...however if you go in with expectations of a comedy you kind of feel let down.
THE SHADOW AWARD FOR " WAIT A MINUTE IS THAT.....NO...WAIT A MINUTE..OH CRAP!!"
Nicholas Hoult
In Mad Max Fury Road
Here he is in real life...known for About A Boy and Warm Bodies (both wonderful performances). Also known as Jennifer Lawrence's ex.
Well Here he is in Mad Max Fury Road....it took me half the film to figure out who he is.
BIGGEST DISAPOINTMENT SHADOW AWARD
Tomorrowland
Just a mess. The trailer shows you Tomorrowland and in the film you see it for like 10 minutes in all it's glory. I have to admit the first 40 minutes or so while watching Clooney and Robertson trying to get to Tomorrrowland was fun, however that was washed out by depression. Then throw in a half an hour lecture of how "kids all your parents and grandparents have ruined the world because they are lazy so it is up to you" lecture. UGH and you paid 10 bucks for that lecture!!
BIGGEST SURPRISE SHADOW AWARD
Danny Collins
Do not get me wrong...it is not the best film you will see all year..however there is a surprising sweetness to it. A story about a guy trying to make up for lost time. Marketing for this was questionable, the trailer shows Pacino being...well Pacino...in reality it is much more.
A sweet film that left me surprised. It is available now for home viewing.
THE SHADOW AWARD MOST DANGEROUS JOB ACCORDING TO SCREENWRITERS AND NO ONE CARES!!
Working In Offices In The City
I am watching Avengers and San Andreas and buildings are falling like Leggos and nobody is trying to save them!! In fact in San Andreas (which is a pretty good film) Dwayne Johnson flies/cruises right by the crushed buildings while looking for his daughter. There are people in there!!!!! And in Avengers.....there are a lot of you...use one of the Avengers to secure building or save the office workers!!!
WHAT WERE THE CRITICS THINKING SHADOW AWARD
It Follows
A young woman is followed by an unknown supernatural force after getting involved in a sexual encounter.
Rotten Tomatoes 96% approval?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought it was not scary. And slightly boring.....with a lot of sitting and discussing what to do. Maybe the idea of having sex to scare away the ...I don't know ..zombies...had critics thinking it was exciting. Not me. In fact I do not think it had an ending.
THE I NEED A SHOWER SHADOW AWARD
Mad Max Fury Road
I felt like all that sand was coming off the screen.
If I was living there...find me a mountain to jump off..it looked so miserable.
THE WE HAVE NEW MOVIE STARS SHADOW AWARD
We have a tie between:
Scott Eastwood and Britt Robertson (Longest Ride)
Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina)
Thomas Mann; RJ Cyler and Olivia Cooke (Me And Earl)
Raffey Cassidy (Tomorrowland)
Shameik Moore (Dope)
THE HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE SHADOW AWARD
Get Hard
Two of the funniest people in the world...how did this end up being not funny???!!
Well there are my first half of the year film awards
As always thanks for your time from the shadows.
