Maggie Moore(s)

The plot of Maggie Moore(s) makes for an intriguing trailer but a deeply flawed movie. The plot involves the death of two different women named Maggie Moore in the same small town exactly one week apart. There are basically two-halves of the story stuck together with scotch tape and a prayer with a romance subplot thrown in as well creating a film with enjoyable moments here and there but more than a few issues it simply can’t overcome.

Obliterated - Born in the U.S.S.R.

So it’s like The Hangover, but spies. I would bet that was the pitch for Obliterated which takes the now drunk, high, and hungover special forces crew on the hunt for a missing nuclear weapon. Despite being obvious to everyone, except apparently their superiors (who appear oblivious their drunken behavior), that the group are not up for the challenge the misfits are back on the case with even more infighting, bickering, and getting in each other’s way while stumbling, mostly through dumb luck, on a lead. What I can say is that two episodes in, Obliterated knows what it is and doesn’t feel the need to be anything more than raunchy fun (with more obligatory nudity to try and save a lagging story) against the backdrop of a terrorist attack and humor that is nowhere near as funny as it thinks it is. With writing this lazy, it’s heard not to feel a little sorry for everyone involved.

Rick and Morty - Rise of the Numbericons: The Movie

Well, that was certainly… a half-hour of television. In a move that can only be compared to South Park’s “Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus” episode, Rick and Morty offer a full episode without Rick Sanchez instead focusing on war between Ice-T, now Water-T, and his Alphabetrians verus the Numbericons. To put it kindly, let’s just say “Rise of the Numbericons: The Movie” has all the tell-tale signs of something that looks like it was much more fun to make than to watch.

Loosely based on real events, David O.
