Critics Consensus; Here Comes The Boom

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new comedy starring Kevin James. Uh Oh I know what direction this is going in.
When a movie is produced by Happy Madison Productions you know it is not going to be very good. Here Comes The Boom falls right into that category. Minneapolis Star Tribune complained about the weak humor,Detroit News was not a fan of the cliches,St.Louis Dispatch called it loud,incoherent and unfunny and lastly Slant Magazine gave it a 0 out of 10.
Overall please do not see this movie unless you are some 9-12 year old kid who think that anything that is touched by Adam Sandler is gold.
Here Comes The Boom is rated PG.

Critics Consensus: Seven Psychopaths

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new comedy directed by the director of In Bruges.
Remember In Bruges? Well a sort of spiritual successor came out to that called Seven Psychopaths. It stars Colin Farell, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson, and Tom Waits among others. Chicago Times called it delightfully goofy,Village Voice praised the writing by and Irish writer, Martin McDonagh. Also The Hollywood Reporter said that it was terrifically entertaining among many other positive remarks. The only problem about Seven Psychopaths is that it is a little bit on the very gory side but the humor will make up for it.
Seven Psychopaths is rated R.

Critics Consensus:Argo

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Argo a new suspenseful drama directed by Ben Affleck.
When I first saw Argo';s metascore I said "Holy "(Insert Swear Here"). It was the highest wide release movie of the year with an 86. The number avatar had a footnote next to it that stated "Universal Acclaim". You might ask why so high well it is because it has a amazingly fantastic screenplay as stated by the San Fransisco Chronicle,New York Post loved the movies elegant humor,USA Today praised the performances,Box Office Magazine said that this was Ben Affleck's best directing, and last but not least Aisle Seat cherished how the story was explained in great detail.
Overall stop reading this post and go see Argo. Better yet bring a friend.

Argo is rated R.

Critics Consensus:Sinister

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Sinister a new original horror movie.
When the reviews for Sinister first came out they were at a 100% approval rating. Now it is more of a low 60% approval rating. As more critics chimed in such as Box Office Magazine who complained of it's cliches that are derived from other horror movies or Washington Post with an F grade, saying that the lead character in Sinister is of low intelligence and so is the movie. Not to say that Sinister is a bad movie, those are just the worst things in it. For example Village Voice praised newcomer Ethan Hawke's performance as Ellison and HollywoodChicago called it the best horror movie of 2012.
Overall only see this movie if you want to. If you are light hearted to scares please bring a diaper or something. Even if you hate the movie it will scare you.

Sinister is rated R.
