‘Dewey Cox’: Your Best Holiday Movie Choice
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Columbia Pictures, Music, Satire, Comedy, New Releases
You could go to the theaters this holiday season and be inundated with biological fallout, CGI creatures that exist solely in fokelore, and lighthearted family comedies. Or, you could get real laughs without the holiday hooplah. You can walk hard with Dewey Cox.
A musical parody, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story is already getting excellent reviews, all of which applaud the script’s funniness. The film follows Dewey through the decades as he tries to build his recording career. Music-themed biopics Walk the Line and Ray are both parodied in the film, which features its own fun soundtrack. Walk Hard will make audiences laugh hard, just what’s called for in a year filled with movies about war, death, and a wild-looking Dustin Hoffman pretending to be magical.

Don’t Rush to Theaters for ‘August Rush’
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Warner Bros, Drama, Family, Music, New Releases
From the first time I saw the trailer, I had a bad feeling about the dramatic, music-themed August Rush, which doesn’t seem to have a strong cast or even a believable storyline. Early reviews are in, and so far the criticism isn’t good.
Freddie Highmore plays a young boy with innate musical talent, who embarks upon a quest to find his parents. That, in a nutshell, is the plot. There is one scene were the young boy stands in a field and hears music on the breeze, which inspires him to head to the big city of New York to find his mom and dad (because that’s a highly likely thing for a boy under fifteen to do). His parents are played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers (you know, Henry VIII), and Keri Russell (I know, who?), both musicians themselves, who meet and conceive a baby. The mother’s father has the resulting baby (Highmore) given up for adoption, telling his daughter the baby died. But don’t let this soap operatic plot be the thing that deters you – be deterred by over-the-top acting instead.
