Movie Review: Baywatch

Image
Paramount Pictures Director: Seth Gordon Cast: Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron, Alexandra Daddario, Kelly Rohrbach, Jon Bass,  Ilfenesh Hadera, Priyanka Chopra, Hannibal Buress, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II Date Seen: Tuesday, May 23, 2017 Theater : Cinemark Polaris Overall Rating: C Adapting a television show into a movie is difficult, and it doesn't always work out for a number of reasons. For one thing, which characters do you use if there was a large cast? Will they adapt a particular storyline or create something new? What is the tone? Who do you cast and how will they stack up to the original? What references are you going to drop for fans of the show? Unfortunately, most of the time these gambles don't pay off and the movie just doesn't work. To name a few attempts at this, there have been Starsky and Hutch, The A-Team, Get Smart, Charlie's Angels, Power Rangers, 21 Jump Street , and The Addams Family . From that list alone there is a wide spectrum of qual...

For some time now, I've been thinking about other content I can share or different ways in which I can present content here for you all. I decided that there will be times I will want to review older films leading up to new installments or iterations, like the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie, but I didn't want to just do a typical review.

I'll be doing them once a day leading up to my review of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales . Here is my first review on Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl .

Movies I love to watch over and over

Disclaimer: this is an old blog post from an older blog that I've decided to re-post here and added two new movies since the original post that I love. Please enjoy. I read an article on  Buzzfeed  recently wherein they asked readers to submit movies they consider to be rewatchable. Movies that you can watch anytime or repeatedly and they're entertaining and fun no matter what you're doing or feeling. They hold onto their quality and you don't get sick of them. I have my favorite movies, but I never really considered what movies I find rewatchable. So that's why I made this list. There are several here that were on the Buzzfeed list, but I love them and find them heavily rewatchable anyway personally...so I threw them on this list. In no particular order, these are movies I feel are heavily rewatchable. 1.  Deadpool I listed this one on my list of June obessions and went into about what I love about it. But no matter how many times I watch this movie, I find it hi...
