Chad Reviews

Before I start with this review I will give you a fair warning about this film.  If you are uncomfortable with coarse language do not see this film. Do not take this suggestion lightly.  Yet again, director Guy Ritchie has made another fantastic British crime movie. The story of The Gentlemen follows Fletcher, a private investigator hired by a local tabloid. Fletcher is tasked with getting dirt on Matthew McConaughey 's character Mickey Pearson, a marijuana drug lord. Pearson begins the creation of his cannabis labs under the estates of aristocratic homes. He soon realizes he wants out of the business, with how risky it is.  One of these lab locations gets compromised by an unknown enemy and the rest of this film circulates around finding this mysterious foe with the help of Fletcher. With an ever-evolving story, you never expect which character will betray another or who will die next. Though the movie at most times is serious, there is a group of amateur boxers nam...

Okay, okay I know this is not a big-screen review but it is still a worthwhile watch. The Citadel Theatre in Edmonton had its opening night of Cost of Living , a Pulitzer prize-winning script about human connections through the eyes of four individuals.  These characters are made up of a former trucker and his recently paralyzed wife, as well as a college student with cerebral palsy and his new caregiver. Two of the four actors in this production actually live with a disability! The two pairs each go through the struggles of having a disability and/or taking care of someone with a disability. The new caregiver Jess is not only new to taking care of John but is completely new to providing assistance to a person with a disability. The former trucker, Eddie is trying to rekindle his relationship with his wife Ani after numerous personal struggles. The show may invoke many feelings in you such as happiness, sadness and absolute surprise, but at the end of the day, you will have a tho...

With a well-known cast such as Dwayne The Rock Johnson , Kevin Hart , Jack Black , Danny DeVito and Nick Jonas you expect a long adventure with a lot of excitement and danger along the way and that is exactly what you get with Jumanji: The Next Level. The movie starts off showing the four protagonists, high schoolers, who have previously been inside the Jumanji video game.  Each of these characters follows a stereotype; the nerdy kid with asthma, the jock, the blonde valley girl and the book smart girl.  As with the old Jumanji movie, the four main characters go back into the game to go through with the deadly adventure all over again. Unlike the first movie where the characters got to choose which Avatar they wanted, this time they had no choice and it was random as to which character they played. As well, the location of this game was entirely different.  Instead of being in the jungle, they were in a desert, a tundra and finally a mountainous terrain. The comic reli...
