Here's the Pop Culture Happy Hour review from late-September ... listened to it recently - they liked it!



 
Fair Play






Office Offences

PRAISE: Just watching the opening scenes of this movie that includes the couple Emily (Phoebe Dynevor) and Luke (Alden Ehrenreich) who can't keep their hands off of each other and where those scenes go I knew what I was in for.
As one ascends in corporate America and one slowly but surely spiral it was interesting to watch their relationship evolve into something they likely never would have dreamed of.
Anyone that has ever been a part of corporate America and watched their coworkers or even themselves rise and fall will relate to what happens in the offices in this movie. Even witnessing an in office relationship go sour in this film may make people think twice about having one. This speaks to how effective Chloe Domonts screen play,Direction and the performances are in this movie is. The actors hit their marks and then some. A great display of envy,jealousy and pushing oneself to the brink of near madness. The suspense is definitely in place and all I could think about was the last line in the movie Gone Girl : What will we do to each other?

PROBLEMS: I had issues with how a couple of things played out in the movie. I know people make mistakes in how they end a relationship. But the way things play out so brutally for the characters before the final act and what the characters do during it just didn't ring true.

Scale of 1 to 10 an 8
 

 
Wasn't great but wasn't too bad until the ending

A couple of quick revs


The Good Mother





Some good performances from the cast including Hilary Swank · Olivia Cooke and Jack Reynor in this movie about the murder of la journalists estranged son who forms an unlikely alliance with his pregnant girlfriend to track down those responsible
This movie was an odd mix of a murder mystery, a PSA about drugs and alcohol and then a suspenseful thriller,despite trying to do to much and some dull moments it surprisingly works for the most part.

Scale of 1 to 10 a 7½




Mortal Kombat Legends: Cage Match




Some great voice work from the cast including Joel McHale as Johnny Cage Jennifer Grey as Jennifer Grey ,the late great Gilbert Gottfried as David Doubldy and Kelly Hu as Ashrah
Everything is in place for the character Johnny Cage the arrogance and conceited nature and of course his fighting skills. The animation is sleek and the action sequences are fun. A lot of salty dialogue adds to the fun. Not as good as the last two legends animated film due to some underdeveloped characters and some minor problems but a nice quick action romp for the most part.

Scale of 1 to 10 a 7½
