Quick Movie Review: Goodbye Christoper Robin

I love the Ernest Shepard art of the Winnie the Pooh books, so I was curious to see the story behind their creation. Goodbye Christoper Robin is not at all what I expected it to be. I was surprised by all the drama and domestic problems behind the creation of the beloved classic. The story was interesting, it just wasn't well told. The movie chose to jump around in time chaotically instead of presenting the story linearly, which made it a bit confusing. The actors weren't likable and the pacing was very slow. I give this film 3.5 out of 5 boxes of popcorn.

    

Quick Movie Review: Gentlemen Broncos

I thought the overall story was really good. I wasn't a fan of the way it was told. The B-movie approach works well for things that are really clever or really fun (and can work better than the big budget approach), but I didn't feel this was fun enough or clever enough, but it could have been if they had pushed it a little further. The underlying story had the potential, but the pacing was very slow. I think young sci-fi and fantasy writers will probably really enjoy it, because they could see themselves and their creation so clearly in it. There were definitely moments I felt the main characters pain and angst. It was mostly entertaining. I give this film a 2.5 out of 5 boxes of popcorn.
