Theater Scum: Mother's Assassin

Creepy husbands or John Wick Jr.? Who will will this round?

Mother


Darren Aronofsky has plenty of acclaimed films on his resume including the Oscar-nominated Black Swan and the oh-my-god-so-depressing Requiem for a Dream. His movies generally aren’t the standard Hollywood type which makes it all the better that he continues to get the big projects and attract the big stars that normally would be relegated to the single screen Indie theater.

I can’t tell you much about Mother! other than Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem have the seemingly perfect life until he goes a little whacky (shocker). Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer round out the top-notch cast in what looks to be a potential mind-fuck of a movie. I, for one, can’t wait.



American Assassin


Based on a novel by Vince Flynn, American Assassin looks to be a greatest hits of the past fifteen years’ worth of action and espionage. Dylan O’Brien, who is definitely an actor I haven’t heard of, is going after a terrorist group after his puppy, err... I mean girlfriend, is killed.

Along the way, he meets up with grizzled old Michael Keaton for some training and presumably some life lessons along the way. It looks pretty entertaining but nothing that I couldn’t get watching any of the Bourne or Taken movies on my shelf.
