John Wick (2014) - M0.0/E3

Somewhere I heard this was almost as much fun as watching the Matrix.  As much as I loved the first Matrix, this was nothing like it.  This is going to be very short.

The movie started off rather slow and I really wondered how the whole Keanu Reeves holding a gun was going to be relevant about 10 minutes into it.  A terrible tragedy happens, revenge takes hold, and everyone dies.  The end.

Don't waste your time.  VidAngel didn't help much here.  Sometimes bad movies are bad even without the swearing/violence/sex.  There was no redemptive value to watching this at all; it was just pure depressing.

If you want a more thorough review, check out ericdsnider.com.  He gave it a B+, and a lot of times I agree with his rating, but when there is no moral message, or even a negative morality to a film, it's very hard to find a reason to enjoy it.

The Gold Rush (1925)

Entertainment Rating: 3 of 5

This silent film frequently pops up as one of Charlie Chaplin’s best films, and one that kids love because there is no dialogue to have to follow. However, it is rather long. Most old comedies have some good routines during the film, but they try too hard to tie in a story around those routines. It’s much more enjoyable to fast-forward to the next fun scene. The scene in the trailer is one of the good ones, you might recognize Johnny Depp's imitation of it in Benny and Joon, another good show.

Moral Rating: 3 of 5

Like Marx Brothers, nothing here other than good wholesome entertainment for the entire family.

R.E.D. (2010)

Entertainment Rating: 3 of 5

This was an easy-going movie, nowhere near as intense as the previews made it out to be. The humor was great and the music did a great job at setting the tone. We watched it unedited and were able to enjoy it quite well, though there was some language and violence throughout it.

Moral Rating: 2 of 5

No real moral lesson was intended for this type of show, it was purely for entertainment.

Knight and Day (2010)

Entertainment Rating: 4

This is one of the best action films I’ve seen in a while. Great action sequences that were kept on the light-side with the quick-witted humor provided by Tom Cruise. Easily one of my favorite Cruise movies. Check it out if you have a chance.

Moral Rating: 2

No real messages worth noting here. Pure entertainment.
