It was a short three years ago when the remake to Evil Dead came onto our radars. We internet naysayers myself included were all ready to string up new director Fede Alvarez for daring to touch a beloved classic. However we were treated to a big surprise and were shown just how wrong we could be All of us loved the remake and the film would take its place among the others as the little step brother. of the Evil Dead series. After the film we all wondered what this new horror genius would bring us next. It would take 3 years but we would finally get our answer in the very tense very creepy and very well acted Don't Breathe.
The plot centers around three thieves (Jane Levy, Dylan Minnette, and Daniel Zovatto) who are going to break into a blind man's (Stephen Lang) house and rob him. The job seems very simple and should be an easy pay day for the three. That is until they find out that the old man is actually a jacked psycho who will do anything to protect what is his. Upon breaking into the house the three are quickly learning that the blind man is going to be more trouble than the job is worth and they must find a way out without letting him know they are there.
The movie is set up brilliantly and we never really get a sense of feeling comfortable once you as the audience step foot in the house. Alvarez does a great job keeping you on edge the entire film and making it really feel like you are with these people in this house. He is truly going to be one of the next great horror directors if he continues on this path.
The cast is also quite good especially Levy and Lang who are the two scene grabbers of the film. Levy has worked with Alvarez before in his Evil Dead remake. Lang on the other hand is an incredible character actor who has a resume as long as his arm and holds his own in this incredible performance.
All in all this movie should be watched with the light off and everyone should enjoy this great little thrill ride and the twist that comes out of nowhere.
Dean Ambrose, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Cesaro, Chris Jericho, Alberto Del Rio Money in the Bank Ladder Match:
If you have ever fallen off a ladder you probably know jut how painful that can be. However I don't think most people can say they have fallen off a ladder through another ladder in the pursuit to grab a briefcase that guarantees them a contract for a world heavyweight match at anytime of their choosing. If you just read all that and are still with me I know wrestling is complicated but stay with me I'll try to explain. Most gimmick matches in wrestling are for lack of a better word dumb. However the Money in the Bank ladder match is great for several reasons. It causes you to get excited and can set up story lines in the company for months. The other great aspect of it is you get an insight into a wrestler that the company are getting behind. by putting this contract in their hands. To hold money in the bank means you are going to be a focal point going forward. The reason you are such a big deal is because nine out of ten times you will most likely be pushed to become the champion by cashing in. So it not only has consequences it not only shows a story being built around a wrestler but is shows growth in the product overall.
Now as for the match itself it can be an absolute barn burner of a match not just in performance but the spots that these guys will get into.
This was another event I attended live and I have to say this might be one of the most athletic money in the bank groups I have ever seen. I remember walking into this and tell my friend that I didn't care who won this for the most part we were going to get some great showings out of all these guys. That is exactly what we got. I was blown away with just how incredible all of these guys performed. All in all it is a great match that sets up an interesting second half of the night.
Broad City:
Guys we can all agree that women are funny and smart and we need to get over it. Oh wait I'm sorry that is my opening review on South Park later in the month. However That being said the show Broad City is an amazingly funny and smart show created by the two stars Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson. If you haven't caught this gem from Comedy central for the past three years then you are missing out on what could be a modern day Lavern and Shirley.
The show follows the two 20 somethings throughout their daily lives in NYC, making hilarious situations out of typical events. Abbi and Ilana are so opposite and yet comlement each other so well throughout the show. They also are amazing comedians with exceptional timing. Both of these two can hold their halves of an episode and bring the two parts of the story together fantastically. The show also has a fantastic secondary cast including the hysterical comedian Hannibal Burress who plays Lincoln Rice, Ilana's on again off again boyfriend.
The strongest episode of the season has to go to episode two entitled Co-Op. The episode revolves around Abbi posing as Ilana to cover her shift at the food co-op while Ilana attends a doctors appointment across town. The brilliance of this episode is how great of a parody impression Abbi does of Ilana. It make me laugh from open to close and I'm so excited to see what the next season will bring to us especially with the election that took place this year.
