TRON ARES
This visually impressive entry in the Tron series is also the weakest in the narrative department. Telling the story of forces competeing to find the code that will allow computer generated objects and people to remain in out world permanently. The narrative is simplistic and utterly confused. It does everything we expect with no surprises while complicating everything in weird layers put there just to make the film look much more intelliget then it is. Yes, the set pieces kick ass, but the truth of the matter thats all this film is. Yea, part of me wished I saw this in 3D but the other part knows I would have chaffed at paying almost 30 bucks to do so. Worth a look if you want to see some amazing visuals, but you can skip it if you want a meaningful story.
SPRINGSTEEN:DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE
I've heard that this film didn't do all that well at the box office and I know why, you need to be a Springsteen fan to have any connection. Where other recent musical bios like those of Dylan and Robbie Williams brought non-fans into the mix, this film forgets to connect us to the superstar main character. This is feels like a feature length moody music video that is striving for something artistic. I forever felt like I was on the outside, with no idea who many of the people were. It doesn't help that the usually good Jeremy Allen White seems to be doing a send up Bruce. I was giggling instead of buying it.
For Springsteen fans only.
