Guardians of the Galaxy
Guarding the galaxy means having to protect all of the universe’s star constellations - even the lame ones like The Poop Deck.
However, the galactic protectors in this sci-fi movie are too busy fleeing foes to stargaze.
An orphaned earthling (Chris Pratt) spirited away by aliens grows up to lead a band of rogues (Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel) on a quest to prevent a zealot (Lee Pace) from destroying a populated planet.
Elsewhere, Thanos (Josh Brolin) continues to collect the omnipotent infinity gems for his nefarious endgame.
Expanding the Marvel Universe with oddball but endearing characters, eye-popping action and heartwarming antics, this adaptation of one of Marvels’ lesser-known books is an amazing cinematic achievement.
Funnier than any modern comedy, this space opera utilizes the laughs to cover up its darker themes of loss, betrayal and extremism.
However, if aliens existed they would’ve enslaved us by now.
Tammy
The problem with quirky girl names is they make for lousy song titles.
Fortunately, musicians’ can work wonders with the normal named nuisance in this comedy.
Fired from her low-income job, terminal troublemaker Tammy (Melissa McCarthy) decides to abscond from her mother and her Illinois home in her grandmother’s car.
However, Tammy’s alcoholic grandma Pearl (Susan Sarandon) wants to come along with her so she can see Niagara Falls.
On the road the pair land themselves in some hot water with the police and must seek refugee with Pearl’s unorthodox lesbian cousin (Kathy Bates).
On the lamb, both become smitten with a father and son duo (Gary Cole, Mark Duplass).
Devoid of anything resembling a joke or a plot, Tammy is a failed attempt at cramming an offensive female character into a poorly formed and highly improbable romantic comedy.
Besides, the US side of Niagara Falls is predominantly Canadian sewage.
He's Hard Times Square. He's the...
