Heads of State

  • Title: Heads of State

Heads of State is a particularly dumb action-comedy starring John Cena and Idris Elba as the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Britain who must put their mutual animosity aside when a terrorist organization attempts to kill them as part of a larger conspiracy to destroy NATO. We also get Priyanka Chopra Jonas as a MI6 officer, and former flame to the British Prime Minister, who eventually teams up with the pair in an attempt to get both of them to Italy alive. The most interesting moment of the entire film comes in the form of a montage flashback sequence explaining how she caught up with them which, from the looks of it, would have made a far better film than the one we got.

Clueless

Throwback Thursday takes us back 30 years to writer/director Amy Heckerling adaption of Jane Austen’s Emma through a valley girl filter which is now available on a new 30th Anniversary Edition 4K. The results are quite entertaining. A touchstone for the 90s, especially for those who grew up with the film, Clueless stars Alicia Silverstone as Cher, a rich and popular high school student whose materialistic world view will be challenged over the course of the film in a failed romance with the obviously gay Christian (Justin Walker), a makeover of new student Tai (Brittany Murphy) that blows up in her face, and the discovery that she’s developed feelings for her older stepbrother (Paul Rudd).
