Title: Poor Proud Mary
Post by: Lazarus on January 16, 2018, 01:41:17 PM
Quote
On paper, Proud Mary looked like any number of somewhat quietly released Screen Gems genre fare movies. Going at least back to 2006, Sony has a long reputation of not screening sure-to-be panned comedies and/or unapologetic grindhouse flicks. Fair or not, releasing Proud Mary sans press screenings and sans even Thursday night previews left Sony open to accusations of burying an action movie that happened to feature Taraji P. Henson in the title role. All due respect, I think the notion of a racial conspiracy was more comforting (especially to fans) than the mere notion that Proud Mary was just a lousy movie.

The film made a meh $9.9 million Fri-Sun/$12m Fri-Mon weekend gross from 2,125 theaters. Yes, the film got lousy reviews (and it?s not very good), but as expected, I would argue that the ?hide the movie? thing was as much about Rotten Tomatoes as critical pans. To wit, it?s a complete mediocrity (it feels heavily cut down and seems to be missing its entire character-building first act), but it has just enough of Henson equalizing to send fans home relatively happy. But it?s also the kind of movie that gets a lot of ?Eh, whatever? reviews that ends up with a painfully low Tomatometer score.

Sony also knew that the most valuable demographics aren?t necessarily the same folk who make up Rotten Tomatoes-certified critics, and they weren?t about to let some critical pans get in the way of seeing Proud Mary?s top-billed star get the chance to kill 50, maybe 60 people. So, sure, Sony could have made it a glitzier affair, but quite frankly the movie didn?t justify it. Henson is fine (and Jahi Di?Allo Winston is quite good as her young charge), but I?m not going to sit here and pretend that it?s the second coming of John Wick or Atomic Blonde.  But Ms. Henson is opening a poorly-reviewed, R-rated action movie with nothing to sell except her name, to a $12m Fri-Mon debut. If that?s not the definition of movie stardom, I?m not sure what is.

Like I said the movie will make a cute coin on the back end once they license it. It should?ve never been a theatre release.

I mean it?s far from a Columbiana or Salt.

And the name proud marry is very off putting

such a bad career move for Taraji
the hell was she even thinking :plzstop:

why do black actors/actresses do shit like that

learn to turn shit DOWN every once in awhile

we know there's not alot of roles, but shit, until you eating cornflakes for dinner everynight you'll be FINE

oh well ... at least she had empire, she can RIP
Title: Re: Poor Proud Mary
Post by: Lane Bryant Jumpsuit on January 16, 2018, 03:44:23 PM
The real issue is budgeting

Salt had 110 milliion
Atomic blonde had 30 million
Haywire had 23 miillion
Ultra violet had 30 mill
Shaft had 47 million (blaxploutatiom themed)


So with taraji serving as executive prodicer she rocked  that 14 million

It?s easy to imagine a version of the $14-million-dollar Proud Mary that has a budget to match last year?s Charlize Theron fighting thriller, Atomic Blonde, which cost $30 million dollars to make and earned $51.7 of it back

Critical receptionEdit

Smokin' Aces received mixed to negative reviews. Although it was praised for its cast, action sequences, and soundtrack, the film has an approval rating of 29% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 155 reviews, with an average score of 4.4/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "A violent mess of a movie, Smokin' Aces has some of Quentin Tarantino's style but not much of his wit or humor". On Metacritic, the film has a score of 45 out of 100, based on 32 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". A.O. Scott of the New York Times gave a negative review of the film, stating that it is "a movie that may not only be dumb in itself, but also the cause of dumbness in others.... 'Smokin? Aces,' breathless to be more ? meaner, bloodier, funnier, cooler ? manages to be quite a bit less." Peter Travers of Rolling Stone magazine, however, gave the film three out of four stars; although he noted that the film has "too many characters and too many plot strands" as well as an abrupt ending, he stated that "Joe Carnahan's Smokin' Aces is shamelessly and unapologetically a guy movie.... The result is hardly original, or groundbreaking, or even necessary, but it sure as hell gets the job done."

What are your views on paula patton?
ssffffgg all jokes aside because i love Angela (and she?s slaying on 9-1-1 right now) Paula is just ok to me.  I love her speaking voice :dead: but sometimes her delivery can sound as if she?s reading from the script

I think she?s just fine in a romantic comedy type of film though.

That's why I didn't support. Even as a 'raji fan, the trailer didn't give anything on what the plot of the movie was. Is she an officer, a hit-woman or just an angry gal with a gun? Like...

Clips of a black woman bussin shots at random ain't enough to get me to the theater  :uhh:

more of hint of the PLOT wouldn?t hurt, Lew  :dead: stop it. Running and shooting isn?t gonna do much

All these other movies putting out 2 minute trailers and ur giving 15 second Instagram teasers. That just won?t do

That works for the big budget superhero flicks because already familiar with those origin stories and comics

Ugh, and I know black actresses complain but Angela is the only one who can successfully carry any movie genre by herself.

Only one close to her would be Halle, in terms of versatility. Oprah trying to mess too now I guess

Taraji just took herself back to being type casted. I?m sure about 3 more cookie Lyon roles and sis will be on a Centric limited series

Very bad decision!

Yea the movie with Octavia Spencer was such a good look.  This is just ...  they should?ve spent more time on it or have her do something else, but still be a badass

Like I said the movie will make a cute coin on the back end once they license it. It should?ve never been a theatre release.

I mean it?s far from a Columbiana or Salt.

And the name proud marry is very off putting

Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gave Colombiana a 27% rating based on 94 reviews, with the site's consensus that "Zoe Saldana has the chops but she's taken out by erratic and sloppy filmmaking."[8]
: ?This is a showy flower of an action film. Saldana doesn?t get much of a chance to emote, but her action skills blossom.?[11] Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter, said that "There are guilty pleasures to be had in this frenzied B starring Zoe Saldana, who gives an acrobatic performance that makes the overcooked material watchable."[12]

Same reviews bigger budget

Ppul arent here for.female action mess

The movie wasn't that good and the script could've been better but Taraji is hit or miss as an actress anyway. So poor her.

Yeah it means after yvette they want her in more ghetto girl roles

But cookie lyon and yvette arent the same

Yvette and tarajis character from.hair show is the same

But from tbink like a man as a business professional  to benjamin button as  slave mother to proud mary as an assasin to no good deed as a middle class housewife
To hidden figures as a scientist to person of interest as a detective or her portrayal of tiffany rubin as a mother trying to find her.missing son

She actually HAS NOT been type casted
And all of her roles aint yvette or cookie

So stop trivializing her work as ghetto girl
