Flix for Friday #7: Making fun of War, Animating Music, and Herzog Returns (War Dogs, Kubo and the Two Strings, Lo and Behold)

War Dogs - Todd Phillips directs this war-comedy about two guys who get involved in private arms dealing.  The concept sounds interesting, but the tone seems weird as a comedy based on a true story.  Jonah Hill and Miles Teller are also odd picks for their roles.  Although, Hill looks like he might be reprising a similar role to the one he acted in The Wolf of Wall Street.  If that is so, this film should be pretty funny since he has mastered that kind of character.

Kubo and the Two Strings - I really really want to see this film solely because the soundtrack sounds amazing.  That trailer with the cover version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is glorious and awe-striking.  The animation style also looks unique and intriguing, which the studio has become well-known for.  I'm assuming this one will be a great film with intellectual concepts that will be enjoyable to adults and children alike. 
Picture
Lo and Behold, Reveries of the Connected World - This one played at SIFF and unfortunately I did not have the time to see it.  Werner Herzog is probably the most well-known documentarian so this one should be a great follow-up to his preceding works.  Also, his voice is quite possibly the greatest to listen to for narrations (if not second to Morgan Freeman's).  He will probably be able to guide us through the confusion of the internet without losing us along the way.
