Under The Scope | Movie Review: The Visit

August 31, 2015  |  Posted by: The Scope

M. Night Shyamalan + found footage = The Visit. The writer and director of many twistful films visits the horror genre by sending two kids to visit their grandparents. However, things are a little strange with Nana and Pop-pop. Good thing Becca and T. Diamond Styles are documenting the whole trip for their mother. It’s too bad they forgot to stop rolling when the freestyle rapping stated.

The Scope The Visit review has the good sense to drop the camera when lives are at stake.

Under The Scope | Movie Review: The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

August 12, 2015  |  Posted by: The Scope

Hey, look! It’s the second summer movie based on a hit spy-themed T.V. show from the 1960s! This time around, there’s no Cruise to be found…because we’re talking about the film adaptation of The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

Starring Superman (Henry Cavill) and The Lone Ranger (Armie Hammer), this loose translation of the original source material tells the story of a U.S. spy and a Russian spy, forced to work together during The Cold War. Can they crack case of the missing nuclear bomb (and do it in mod style?) Well, director Guy Ritchie certainly hopes you find out.

But the real question is whether your favorite Scope hosts, Jared and Shane, bought into the concept. Feel free to listen and watch the guys break this film down in a very Scope way.

The Scope The Man From U.N.C.L.E. review isn’t too buff to be a 60s super spy.
