Comedy Corner: HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN TEN DAYS

Welcome to another installment of COMEDY CORNER, where we review the movies that make the world laugh, or those that just try to.  This week we'll be reviewing a hilariously disastrous romantic comedy, HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN TEN DAYS. 

Movie Review: SING

Theater producer Buster Moon (Matthew McConaughey) owns the most glorious theater in town, but his many failures have brought the theater gradually down, to the point of almost falling apart. When the bank gives an ultimatum to Moon, he has one last chance to reestablish the theater to its former glory and he decides to assemble the greatest singing competition ever put to stage.

Movie Review: KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS

Kubo (Art Parkinson), a young, one-eyed boy living in a small village in a fairy-tale-like Asian land, embarks on a journey with Monkey (Charlize Theron) and Beetle (Matthew McConaughey) to find an ancient sword, helmet and armor in order to defeat his aunts and grandfather who have become cold evil spirits, seeking Kubo's second eye and who Kubo's mother turned against in the past.

Having in the past not thoroughly enjoyed Laika's past efforts like ParaNorman and The Boxtrolls (for story reasons), Kubo and the Two Strings comes in as a definite improvement on them, with a far more touching narrative which adds a brilliant tribute to Asian cinema, even though some of the story problems I had in the past still emerge from this animated beauty.
