May Movies On Demand

Happy May Team! May. The true beginning of one’s personal self-loathing after winter. But don’t fret dear viewers you’re not Michael Phelps. The closest you’ll come to a swimming pool in May is watching re-runs of The O.C. And once you’re done catching up with Seth Cohen’s quick quips and Ryan Atwood’s simmering abs take a look at my top three May Movies on Demand.

 

 

The Top On Demand Move For The Babes:



Kate’s Top Three Movies On Demand:

CLOUD ATLAS- Premiers May 14
Two words: Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks in a heady mystery sci-fi drama playing six different characters. If you need more convincing look no further than Halle Berry who is also in this, playing six different characters. Basically everyone in this film plays six different characters unless they’re not very exciting and in that case they only play four. But this is the idea since the story is a poignant look at human connection and acts as a breathtaking exploration of the connection of the past, present, and future. Do you get it? They’re all connected. Legitimately it’s the tag line.
R, SciFi, Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Same day as DVD, Weeks before Netflix & Redbox

PARKER- Premiers May 21
I’m not sure if you’ve seen the previews, but this film is action city. The poster is blood red, and it subtly invites the audience in with the gentle phrase: To get away clean, you have to play dirty. I’m pretty sure that’s the Gambino’s house motto. Jason Statham stars. Obviously. And then out of nowhere a wild Jennifer Lopez appears. She almost makes up for Gigli by being in this fast paced shoot’em up pile of awesomeness. Almost.
R, Action, Jason Statham, Jennifer Lopez, Same day as DVD

SIDE EFFECTS- Premiers May 21
A look into the life of a young women as her world unravels when a drug prescribed by her psychiatrist has unexpected side effects. You see what we did there? Starring Rooney Mara this psychological thriller has been getting rave reviews, and also stars the gorgeous Channing Tatum. Now I’m not sure if he takes off his shirt, but I’d watch it just to see if he did. SIDE EFFECTS effortlessly appeals to the human condition by playing with what’s real and what’s created in the vastness of your own mind. Remember team one pill can change your life. Well, we all know how well that worked out for Neo.
R, Thriller, Rooney Mara, Channing Tatum, Same day as DVD, Weeks before Netflix & Redbox

Happy watching!

WHAT RICHARD DID

By Sky McCarthy

 


Teenagers make mistakes. That is usually accepted as an inevitable part of growing up. In many movies centered around teens, the protagonist makes a mistake and through subsequent action endures the consequences and ultimately finds a better moral character. WHAT RICHARD DID, the latest feature from director Lenny Abrahamson, focuses on the internal struggle faced by an individual in crisis asks the question when the entitled make mistakes, does anyone suffer the consequences? The result is far from a typical Hollywood teen drama but American audiences may still enjoy this well acted film.

Richard Karlsen (played by Jack Reynor soon to be seen in the latest installment of Michael Bay’s TRANSFORMERS franchise) is an Irish teen living the well-rounded, suburban life. A handsome athlete, Richard has a great relationship with his doting parents, and appears to be the leader of his privileged group of friends. The boys spend their summers drinking as the girls try to catch a new love’s eye. Richard soon enters into a relationship with the good-natured Lara (Roisin Murphy) and all seems well for a fun summer romance.

 


From the very beginning, however, WHAT RICHARD DID presents a somewhat ominous portrait through chilling music and beautifully cold cinematography that echoes the misty -green Irish backdrop. It is clear that Richard is plagued by something – perhaps the pressure of school or the need to adhere to his popular persona – all showcases a less than jovial teen. As the film progresses, it becomes clear that Richard is irritated by the lingering closeness Lara maintains with her ex named Connor (Sam Keeley). One night, toward the end of the group’s summer vacation, a fight breaks out after a seemingly tame house party. Richard finds himself entangled in the brawl and ends up taking out his personal aggression on someone who meant him no harm.
