Welcome to another installment of SIDE BY SIDE, where we dissect the differences and similarities between two films, be it a remake/reboot with its original, a sequel with its original, or two similar movies.

Movie Review: COLLATERAL BEAUTY

Collateral Beauty is the latest Will Smith vehicle, this time directed by The Devil Wears Prada director David Frankel. The film is about a guy who is a major player at an advertising agency dealing with the death of his daughter. For risk of spoilers, I cannot say more. The film stars Will Smith, of course, as well as Edward Norton, Keira Knightley, Michael Peña, Naomie Harris, Jacob Latimore, Kate Winslet, and Helen Mirren. Overall, I thought the film was ok. It surprised me from the outset but did a few things near the end that spoiled much of the enjoyment I did get from the film.

Movie Review: SUICIDE SQUAD (Review #2)

Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) is convinced that after the arrival on earth of Superman and the discovery of meta-humans, the only way to fight the potential menace of the next threat is to assemble a team of the worst and most powerful criminals in custody and use them as, fittingly, a 'Suicide Squad'. That is when elements like Deadshot (Will Smith), the best killer on earth, and the mad Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), amongst others, come in.

Movie Review: SUICIDE SQUAD

I had the opportunity to see an advanced screening of this highly anticipated movie about a group of iconic DC Comics villains played by an impressive array of big name talent. They are touted as the most dangerous supervillains in the world and all are being held in a super-maximum prison. That is until one, high up the food chain government official named Amanda Waller gets the bright idea to assemble them into a team to fight against supervillains even more dangerous than this ‘Suicide Squad’ is.  The team, is of course kept in check by explosive devices that have been implanted in their necks and can be remotely detonated. The team leader is a tough as nails military guy named Rick Flagg.
