The Roundup with Jeff Stockton (Season 35 Round 3)

 
 
Moving on through Round 3 now. Here's The Roundup.... 


3. Man of God
I enjoyed the slow-burn storytelling in Man of God. Josh Brolin, Michael Shannon, and Robert Aramayo were all especially great in their roles.

2. The Tick
What a fantastic adaptation for the whole family - it covers all its bases. Plenty of callbacks and references for longtime Tick fans, fast pace humor and action for the young crowd, and some pretty clever satire for the grown-ups.

1. Josh Brolin
Brolin is on an impressive run for the studio managing to give fantastic performances while also drawing in enough people for his last two starring roles to turn a profit even if the subject matter's a hard sell.



3. Big Budget Films
While I'm sure there are some bigger productions on the way, but this season has had an alarming lack of big budget films - which is where the studio makes a lot of its profits.

2. Dust Saint
Dust Saint was by no means a bad film, but I did have a hard time getting into it. I struggled to feel for any of the characters. I also feel like it was marketed under the wrong genre - never once did Dust Saint give me a thriller vibe.

1. Box Office
Still only slightly in the green, which is not a great sign 30% into the season.
