This is your form on line on the big screen and that's an important -- box or online dot com movie reviewer adjusting Greg.
There's a huge movie out this week as in the giants.
Yes eat.
Re imagined version of it from Intel is -- -- -- in 23.
I just and not tell us about that.
Jack is played by Nicklaus -- from warm bodies he's farm boy who's in love with the princess the princess is very unhappy with her home life.
The -- her father is making her Mary -- right hand man.
Who's played by eight Stanley Tucci and he is.
Up to no good he's a pretty sinister guy and she's just not happening within so.
She runs away and she needs Jack and Jack has the beans which got -- in me being stuck and they get sucked up into the giant land and she gets kidnapped by the giants and then Jack.
And the king's men one of them played by Ewan McGregor have to go get her back.
What do you think works and what doesn't work taking on familiar tell that are -- people.
Well I think this Jack and being -- works when I think also works is when they take.
The familiar story that we -- know and twisted a little bit -- you need a little bit darker like last year's Snow White and the Huntsman.
I thought that was very good just poorly cast or visually you know stimulating like Alice -- wonderland.
Like when it's just like -- blowing to to look at that -- -- -- -- -- -- -- OK I don't know solace sometimes yes -- -- -- and it depends you know we'll see -- the box office -- Big stars and another thing coming out what's on the flip side of the moviegoing Specter on the find -- Indies stoker this week and intense psychological thriller starring Nicole Kidman and Kia classic house.
Johnston but it I -- and -- I'm not -- that trailer alone gives me chills what's it about.
OK this is a somewhat creepy.
Psychological thriller it's about a young woman named India her father dies in a car accident and during his funeral -- Uncle shows she has no idea that she had an uncle and Nicole Kidman her mother immediately falls for him and India.
Is also attracted to him but she's more.
Compelled by him -- attractive she's.
She's like he's a little off he's a little creepy but there's something about him that I absolutely like and she starts to follow him and -- him.
And see that he's actually up to something.
Sinister and vice Versa he starts to follow her and they formed this very.
Uncomfortable bond and it's it's pretty fascinating to watch and it's such a beautifully photographed film and the way.
If the movie unravels.
Is the best part about watching and you're not quite sure what's going on until more a little more than halfway through.
But you know for all its beauty the script is a little weak.
And by the end the film they feel a little bit let down.
Know what I will say about the script -- -- -- has me.
Is that it is an original idea right -- -- when I heard the kinds -- and her on this and I was thinking -- -- -- this idea come from because these days you used to saying.
Was it a -- Resident Jerry Kelly -- talked about was it something is -- a remake or whatever this was an original.
Right written by Wentworth Miller who was a star prison break on fox and.
We're kind of -- or shout out this time let's ask Jack vs the giant -- covering more screens this week.
A few reasons audiences.
They get a ticket for a while giants an IMAX it doesn't get much bigger than I saw this an -- and it was incredible to watch.
And ran out here a fairy tale remake collection because as -- -- tightening.
A lot of these out there -- out if it Jack and -- -- -- stock was one of your favorites growing up.
Perhaps -- they had a couple more coming -- he got eyes next week and that rape molest isn't coming soon with Angelina Jolie if you didn't like the hot.
This might be the movie for you if you thought the -- it was too long and it is long stretch out over three movies Jack the giant slayer is a compact.
Adventure film that behind it should have spent so this is your alternative to the -- One ticket -- one big epic adventure.
