I'm making this post to bring attention to original movies being released that people here might not have heard about. If it's recieved well, perhaps I'll make this a weekly series of posts about originals being released.
Okay, technically, A Working Man is based on a book, but for all intents and purposes, it's original.
At least "a working man" will be something i can just turn on and turn my brain off to. Sometimes you need that.
I go out of my way to watch as many original movies at the theater as i can so they make and release more. This is a great post to keep tabs on new ones to see. Thanks
Tomorrow I'm seeing The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie before it leaves theaters. I like to support 2D animation on the big screen, and I'm not really into horror movies or Statham action movies.
For those who might be interested, Paul Rudd stars in Death of a Unicorn, and David Harbour and Michael PeΓ±a are in A Working Man.
A24 and Blumhouse will always get the benefit of the doubt from me, at least for me checking them out. Paying for a theater experience has to be for a movie I'm super hyped for, however.
Planning on seeing A Working Man and Death of a Unicorn this weekend.
Statham... π«₯
The other two seem very interesting though!
I have heard about one and a half of these.
There are no longer gatekeepers, which means there are no longer promoters outside of narrowly defined online niches associated to specific brands or viral hits.
It... kinda sucks. I miss when we all heard about the same things. There were pros and cons to all the centralied control of dicourse, but man, do the pros sound increasingly better than the cons this century.
I guess this is why sequels and reboots are so popular.
A fresh horror movie to watch that I have never heard of before?
Yes please!
These are the types of movies I want to watch. Consider this post received well (by me).
It's a pity Statham has been typecast and can't seem to escape it or doesn't care to.
Perhaps it is an easy role for him and it makes a lot of money?
I don't really hate Jason playing only one kind of role, if the universe around him is interesting.

What you don't love his generic action movies like:
Beekeeper
Wrath of Man
Working Man
Wild Card
Hummingbird
Parker
Beekeeper 2
It's what I like about him, you know exactly what you're getting with a statham movie.
you know exactly what you're getting
That's my problem. Knowing is not fun. Being surprised is the fun part.
But some people only go to the movies to see something they know they will like, so there is a market for him.
