Hi Friends. Martin here. Today I'll be reviewing the movies TOMORROWLAND & POLTERGEIST.
TOMORROWLAND
The George Clooney/ Britt Robertson action adventure film
opens in a flashback sequnce at the 1964 Worlds Fair when
he's ten years old. There he meets a girl named Athena
(Awesome newcomer Raffey Cassidy. We've seen her
movies such as SNOW WHITE & THE HUNTSMAN &
DARK SHADOWS). She invites him to a wonderous
called TOMORROWLAND. Something happens that he's
banish from it. Cut to fifty years later Athna(I'm not saying how)
invites 17 year old Caey Newton to the same place of wonder.
But when she gets there at first it's all happy and sunshine bu when
she goes back with George's Frank Walker it's not the same when she
went there by herself. All in all it's not bad film. It leaves room for a
sequel. Since it opens at the 1964 Worlds Fair we get the SHERMAN
BROTHER'S classic's THERE'S A GREAT BIG NEAUTIFUL
TOMORROWLAND & IT'S A SMALL WORLD. I must've been
the only one in the audience who knew the song GREAT BIG
BEAUTIFUL TOMORROW, The film has a great score by Micheal
Giacchino. I've read online that DISNEY is devoloping a film based
on MAIN STREET USA with Jon Favorue directing. So go take the
trip to TOMORROWLAND. You'll be glad you did & keep an eye on
Raffey Cassidy. She has a long carrer ahead of her.
POLTERGEIST
The new POLTERGEIST is so so. Like I said last time
there will never be another Heather O' Rourke, Dominique
Dunne, or Zelda Rubenstien. Screen & play write
DAVID LINDSEY ABAIRE( SHREK THE MUSICAL &
INKHEART) does a pretty good job with the scares
but not enough laughs. The original although scary had a
couple of fun moments. It also doesn't have the music by
the late great JERRY GOLDSMITH. The music in the original
was a really good at making you jump at all the right places.
The only thing I did like in the new version is that the eldest
daughter has a lot more to do in the new one. So if yoi want to
scream & laugh at the same time see the original. Like I said before
the music is an added bonus.
So that's my review of TOMORROWLAND & POLTERGEIST.
Next movie I'll be reviewing is SAN ANDREAS & SPY.
Until next time enjoy the movies.
Tomorrowlands premise sound very wibbly wobbly timey wimey I am intrigued. I may wait to view the DVD but who knows.
