The Boogeyman

a 90 minute horror film based off of a 12 page Stephen King short story sure I mean work for Children of the Corn ER did I say work for Children of the Corn I meant sucked entirely though to be fair Children of the Corn was like 40 pages or so the boogeyman is the newest horror film that the studio either has all the faith in the world of because they re like look we re gonna come out this week with spider verse or they re like look we re gonna try to bury this under spider verse and it is so the trailer says an adaptation of the Stephen King s short and he does have a therapist and a boogeyman so there s that it still feels like someone on the production side was like we have the scripts Mr Stephen King you mind if we just say it s based off of your short story and then the conversation pretty much goes down like if you re good at something never do it for free how much you want so this film largely revolves around Sophie Thatcher and her family her sister played by Vivian Lyra Blair her father played by Chris Messina and the boogeyman is latched on to their family now at the beginning of this movie I was like this is creepy I m in creepy Ambience good camera work great sound design because good horror means great sound design then from that awesome opening to the end is a consistent 90 minutes of diminishing returns not that it s all bad because it s not all bad at all what I liked about this movie is for the first half maybe two thirds I felt that there was a solid attempt at being a psychological Thriller over horror I actually really like and appreciate that they could have gone for the Cheap Thrills but they didn t they re like psychological Horror family torment and pain it s a slow burn absolutely but a slow burn does not mean bad and then for the last act it s like they were like do we say Slow Burn we meant cliched horror movie nonsense that the audience has seen a million times before and that s a real bummer it s like the last Act to this movie diminishes the entire setup to it in terms of tone and Vibe at least how I was processing it because I said Slow Burn that s how it felt at the time but the difference between Slow Burn and slow comes down to the payoff in the end if you have great payoff that justifies that Slow Burn will slow burn it remains if you have cliche horror movie schlock in the end will that Slow Burn is now just slow and that s how this movie ended up feeling it was a real shame not that this movie didn t have positives within that last act I thought the creature design was interesting when you could see it but this thing is the Boogeyman it doesn t largely reside in the shadows it can only survive in light it s like you turn on the light it just kind of disappears which means in the last act when this thing is chasing them it s chasing them but it s all dark in this house and you can t see what s chasing them you couldn t use the situation to the advantage of the film it s dark it s Broody something s in the shadows stalking them sure and there are moments of that in here absolutely but having a Chase sequence with the lights out you just can t see what s chasing them so it feels like you re missing out on the chase sequence it s like they had the end the climax of this movie take place with the lights on it s almost like oh we established this thing can t survive in light you can t even see it in light all right we ll we ll have all the lights off doesn t really work but I m not rewriting this thing this writer strike is coming man we gotta get this done I thought the acting was great Sophie Thatcher largely carries this film I thought she did a great job now Vivian Lyra Blair she played Little Princess Leia in the Obi Wan series regardless of the flaws in the Obi Wan series it was very clear she s a really good actor and for the sake of this film when you need little kid looking scared out of her mind whatever Boogeyman lurks in the darkness she absolutely sells it and the camera work that s going on when she is there s Talent here there s something great in this film it s just it s not the film by The End by the end it just walked out going all right I ve seen that 100 times before didn t look like it was going that way could have been something special kind of feels like a kid who s sitting still in church because they ve been told it s what they have to do and so they do but by the end of them sitting still they do it for 90 minutes or so maybe an hour of 90 minutes they feel the tension so much they just have to run and scream and get it out now that s what this movie felt like maybe it ll be a better time if you re drunk yeah that s a part all right so the boogeyman have you seen it what did you think about it whatever you thought comment below let me know are you gonna you re gonna really watch this there s some spider verse and this is the one you re watching this week fair I won t tell you how to spend your money but if you haven t watched it what s a disappointing horror film that started out great and just ended up Matt whatever it is whatever you think comment below let me know and as always if you like what

Spider

they crushed it so Spider Man across the spider verse is the sequel to the very successful widely beloved and Visually dazzling Spider Man into the spider verse this time around there s a super secret society of super Spider Mans and Miles Morales is like I m not a part of that there s a new villain called spot he s causing problems more development with Miles Morales and all the visual bedazzlement the first movie had that you re hoping the second movie has and absolutely yes it has it and you know what I liked about this film actually what I really appreciated about this film is it s across the spider verse we ve all heard about these Spider Man s cameos spider men s or Spider Man or Spider Man s his name is Spider Man so I m gonna go ahead and say Spider Man s plural but lots of cameos right all the Spider Man cameos Scarlet Spider Cameo admittedly as a Ben Reilly fan totally cool with that or 90s Ben Reilly fan anyway and they could have rested on that they could have been like cameos Easter eggs those are fun that carries the film also we re gonna blow their synapses out of the water with the visuals so that s enough we don t need more and has fun with that absolutely it has fun with the Easter eggs the visuals just blows your hair back but it doesn t lean on it too much if it didn t have the Easter eggs it still would have been an amazing film that s what that s supposed to be it s supposed to be icing on the cake not the whole cake I was actually surprised in the first hour or so in this film you get some web slinging absolutely but for the most part the heart and soul of it it s some really personal family Dynamic going on here Miles Morales as well as Gwen Stacy a lot more Gwen Stacy and her world her life than I was expecting from this film I appreciate that because that s a real question in a superhero film is how engaging is the film when costumes are not at play when you re dealing with the humans behind the mask and the answer here is very it s very engaging this movie is a gripping character piece that s also a superhero movie which those are my favorite superhero movies you know when into the spider verse how Nicholas Cage as Noir Spider Man kinda stole the show and he was just he was amazing in that respect this time around is Daniel kaluya voicing Hobie the world just needs more Hobie in everything they actually do a very interesting thing with the villain in here spots which the concept of Ally and enemy is a very complex issue in here which I feel is Spider Man to the core it s very Spider Man theme and it s in here it s alive and well in here but spot is one of those enemies could have been so done just comes across as a freak of the weak villain in a TV series somewhere and then this villain just grows as a problem and that was a huge problem and is actually kind of amazing granted the animation absolutely AIDS in making spot work it s part of the magic of the spider verse animation and now we get to talk about that animation which is so unique it kind of reminds me of the first time I saw the Matrix where you walk out of the Matrix you re like visually that was just on another level and only the Matrix feels like the Matrix a very unique experience then other movies are like hey we ll incorporate some Matrix tactics into our movies and that s awesome because that s a film that changes the industry but still even after that only the Matrix feels like the Matrix same as spider verse you ve seen other animations incorporate spider verse style animation in their animations but only a spider verse film apparently feels like spider verse it s like you can take any frame from across the spider verse granted you can take any frame from into the spider verse as well but for the sake of this video in which this is a review for across the spider verse right you could blindly grab any frame from this movie and be like yep gonna blow that up that s a painting that s in my house and it ll look amazing also the visuals of the world were content with the character they re telling the story of like when you re with Gwen Stacy in her world it looks like the spider Gwen comic at least how I remember it looking then you re with Miles Morales and it looks different than that so it gives the visual style more character just outside the action the world itself has a visual aesthetic That s Unique it has its own flavor based on the character they re telling the story of at the time in the moment and I ll be honest with you I found out that this movie clocks in at 2 hours and 20 minutes essentially when I was at the theater about to watch the film I was like oh man is that gonna fail too long overall a product of our experience and lately when a movie clocks in at 2 hours 20 minutes two and a half hours it generally feels too long I always walk out of that movie being like they could have shaved time I did not feel like that here when this movie ends and it ends on that note of it s uh what that s where you end oh I can t wait for the third movie yeah I mean I can t see the future don t have a crystal ball or anything but I m just saying that was definitely the feeling at the time that s the feeling I m going to hold too until I m in the theater watching the third film that s gonna stick with me but the other feeling I got was I could have actually been in this chair after two and a half hours of watching this movie they could have just rolled me into the next film for another two and a half hours and I would have been cool with that guys in the end Spider Man across the spider verse is one word epic the voice acting is amazing Oscar Isaac as a Miguel Spider Man 2099 dude the action feels intense it feels fast it feels heavy it s a fun action film absolutely but one that doesn t rely on the Multiverse for the sake of multi first we ve seen that a lot it s like Multiverse because Multiverse why Multiverse versus that multi because it s awesome this uses the Multiverse in a way that has personal Stakes with the main character involved it s an animation that shows how animation hits differently than live action but also shows why in some cases animation is just the better way to go it s a comic book movie that entertains you when the Great comic book is going down but it s also a relatable character piece with Gwen Stacy and Miles Morales and that s what s important I m gonna remember this theatrical experience in Spider Man across the spider verse is awesome tacky I genuinely cannot wait for the third film all right so Spider Man across the spider verse have you seen it or which one do you prefer do you prefer across the spider verse into the spider verse whatever you think comment below let me know and as always if

attempts to translate to my eating habits I have a routine I eat pretty much the same thing daily look it works for me but it doesn t mean I don t enjoy some new flavors and new meals to flirt with the palette and the fact that for me grocery shopping is on the list of most unenjoyable things just in life delivered fresh right to my door that is just chef s kiss so go to factor75 com or click the link below and use code john s50 to get yourself 50 off your first Factor box also I do have fish for this review God ironically mention that one so the little mermaid is Disney s latest attempt at taking an animated classic and translating it to live action cherry on top let s take the lovable sidekick characters and make them look like what Metallica was singing about and Enter Sandman now funny post viewing experience this because when I got out of the movie I was like yeah that was cute it was surprisingly enjoyable but on my drive home when I was getting my thoughts together for my video the little nitpicks started they started to stack because there are a lot of them not gonna list them all in here but there are some worth mentioning but I m gonna go ahead and list out what I liked about this movie because I m gonna give you some sugar before this spice right what I liked Halle Bailey I thought she was great as Ariel she s sweet she s endearing has that Curiosity albeit that naive curiosity she s adorable and most importantly has an amazing voice but it s not just her Prince Eric Jonah Howard King I believe I m pronouncing his name correctly I thought he was great as well more so in here than the anime because the animated movie is like hey that s the pretty guy you got a kiss in three days get at it this movie actually did a good job at fleshing Prince Eric out we talk about his hopes and dreams we find out a little more about him so I was glad to see that just for him as a character but that also really worked in me feeling their connection and that s that s the heart and soul of the movie this it s the nucleus it s the core of the this entire experience is the love between these two characters the animated Little Mermaid is a complete and total classic but you got to admit by the end you kind of had that feeling of like oh yeah they re infatuated in that shotgun wedding at the end of a weekend in Vegas kind of way it s still three days in this movie so it still happens fast but you still I saw the Sparks there I got the chemistry so when I say I have nitpicks for this movie and they re there I absolutely totally mean it but what I liked being them in their chemistry that s a huge part of the film so it s what brings the movie Up does outweigh what brings the movie down but what brings the movie Down is there it s actually a perfect embodiment of the phrase Death By A Thousand Cuts I feel like anybody who doesn t like this movie they they got there by a Thousand Cuts a thousand little nitpicks that just stacked up by the end and it was too much I get it I ll start with the more glaring things and work my way down to what Jeremy s just bitching I again not going to be everything but the most glaring thing is the fact that animation just has a style and a punch to it it has a stylistic way about it that I think the Little Mermaid just lends itself to not that this movie never looked animated there are some moments Under the Sea looked about as live action as that Mary Poppins penguin segment but you do see that in the Under the Sea musical segment man original Under the Sea segment that was it was like a cup of coffee in the morning that got you going under the sea segment here kind of gave me that feeling of that was that was pretty good karaoke example in this segment with Sebastian s listing off the marine life that plays instruments in the animation you see the marine life playing the instruments because why would you not in this live action version when he s listing off the various marine life that plays instruments you see these big sea turtles walking it s just one long shot to see turtles walking because why would you not show sea turtles walking while listing off marine life that plays instruments makes sense it s like if the animated Under the Sea felt like a cup of coffee to get you going in the morning this live action Under the Sea kind of felt like taking a piss in the morning it s not waking me up it s just kind of it s routine we re just getting through it to get to the next thing and they seem like a little nitpick so maybe they are but to me they re details that change the world and the characters in the world like Ursula not hiding the fact that she says pathetic when she s singing about people who come to her for help pathetic and outwardly just saying pathetic magic changes both Ursula and Ariel Ursula because she s less crafty and Ariel s a bit more of an idiot because she wasn t like did you just call people pathetic wait are you calling me pathetic your weird little skeleton dungeon in the bottom of the sea was kind of a red flag but now I m leaving bye that s why I talk about a few of these Thousand Cuts also in a world of Disney playing it safe Ursula doesn t turn mer people into the little the little seaweed monsters anymore they just die which I imagine for the original animation it was Disney being like we can t kill people we ll just turn them into little seaweed slaves on Ursula s bathroom floor because that s less dark but no it s far worse I don t even care what anyone says that scared the piss out of me when I was a kid actually I haven t even talked about Melissa McCarthy as Ursula Melissa McCarthy as Ursula was the thing I was most concerned about in here because I heard that I was like I feel like I know what I m getting I m getting Melissa McCarthy but she looks like Ursula but she s still Melissa McCarthy being Melissa McCarthy to her credit it 99 of the time she was legit playing Ursula she did not annoy me there was one scene I can think of in particular where I was like that was a Melissa McCarthy moment it was a moment that just existed to remind you that you re watching a family comedy Now Ursula s I ve always found her funny but Sinister funny she does a pretty good job at that but this one scene I was like well that was just Melissa McCarthy funny funny it felt out of place it felt weird this wasn t in the original but we re gonna put it in here it s like but it feels shoehorned and feels weird it feels out of place like example the new musical segments in here that were not in the original they re made up for here but it feels like it was made up it feels like music that was made up over three decades later that doesn t really fit with the music in the movie there s a Synergy with the musical score The Little Mermaid musical segments it all works together it works in tandem to create some audible musical experience that feels consistent and okay we have these new songs that come in that don t feel consistent doesn t feel like the same world could have cut a couple of those out could have saved yourself you know 10 15 minutes of this 50 minute longer than the original run time it s 50 minutes longer did it need to be no to its credit it does use some of that time to flesh out Eric and you know like I said before you feel that Chemistry Between Eric and Ariel and that s part of that extra time was it 50 minutes of that not at all it didn t need to be 50 minutes longer it s about 50 minutes anyway if you take end credits out of the equation the fact that these end credits are longer than the old end credits probably 45 still fact remains this movie felt like it was at war with itself a few times just in terms of timing and pacing within a scene it s like they feel like they have to have the dialogue in this scene from The Animated original but it doesn t flow as well weird thing is at the very end I had heard this and I was like come on no yep there s no wedding at the end I know spoiler for the end but you re you know the story of Little Mermaid but you know at the end of Little Mermaid there s this wedding they have to stop the wedding it s not a wedding in here it s an engagement party and that just feels different granted the real clock you re up against is the sun you when the Sun goes down we lose but a wedding is such a stone wall that it works in tandem with that concept of the sun going down it really feels like zero hour it s like this when the day ends we lose we have to stop the wedding this this forever bond that Eric s going to enter that we just can t let him enter and that s the bummer for this video because I started the video off like oh yeah I liked Ariel and Eric and I really felt that chemistry I thought Halle Bailey was great and listen yeah also let me and nitpick about these things but my nitpicks went on for so much longer in the video some of them are bigger than others absolutely but I maintain the charm of what did work seems so small but it is the core of the film it s Ariel and Eric and if you can stick that Landing you can have a sweet enjoyable film for families that s just covered by a lot of annoyances but I ll say it s a good time no alcohol required at matinee price a huge bummer that the cook segment LEP was not in here what a great segment from the animated Little Mermaid and if you re really if you re looking at it in a world where Disney stories should have a lesson it s a great lesson a great example of perspective we see it as a kitchen we see it as Food Network Sebastian would see it as a House of Horrors they cut it out Disney Live Action you know they play it safer than the animations did maybe they felt like well we made all the marine life look real so now it looks like we re we re killing them we re killing their people but I mean it shows Scuttle in the movie eats a fish no one cares flounders like Scuttle you eat my people we re still friends I guess I don t care so you know it s weird a little inconsistent there all right so the Little Mermaid have you seen it what did you think about it whatever you thought comment below let me know and as always if you like what you ve seen here and you want to see more click right here to see more

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

I missed the pre embargo screening because I was out of town thank you for your patience but now I ve seen Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3 and now we have work to do let s do it so Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3 is the third Guardians of the Galaxy film James Gunn s back to bring us this before he exits and becomes solely the DC guy for this third Adventure the Guardians are back because one of their own he s in trouble so if they go do a thing to save his life which leads him to another thing which really we re kind of on a Space Rabbit Hole here and we have a few characters to talk about here first of all Gamora I want to talk about Gamora because Gamora isn t really Gamora as we ve known her this is a new Gamora from the Past who came to you know end game right now I was pleased with what they did with Gamora in here because you know how shows movies stories have the will they won t they Dynamic and then they do and now that Intrigue is lost and they know it so I thought their plan was all right kill off Gamora bringing a new Gamora from the pass and now we re back to will they won t they and that would have felt like they were taking steps back and they did not do that I like that I mean quill is trying to deal with it but this Gamora is she s a different Kimura she s actually she s kind of a dick and that was cool she fell felt like a daughter of Thanos you know she was more hardcore our beloved Gamora before she was you know she was a fighter she was nice probably why she went Splat and Rocket hands down the best part of the movie are you kidding me it s been said rocket is the heart of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 I don t feel that s actually accurately representing the situation it s more like rockets movie is a better movie wrapped in this Guardians 3 movie which is by and large fine I think it s heartfelt it s painful it s sad I like that in here I ll get to why in a second other than me being grumpy old man energy you know that about me by now but hold on in a second also the high evolutionary as the villain of the film I liked him also I liked him until he starts just screaming at everybody and then I was like okay you went from being cool to being another villain who just screams at everybody take your place among the villains long forgotten who just scream I get that s probably the point of someone with a God complex yeah I d probably get pissy and scream but I liked him when he was more collected and just kind of belittlingly dickish but largely the reason he works is because of rocket and the dynamic between the two I thought was fantastic and elements or character in this movie I felt was largely wasted was Adam Warlock maybe it was the six year wait I don t know maybe it was the fact we should have seen him before infinity War so we could have been in Infinity War you know it s possible I mean when I heard Will Poulter was Adam Warlock I was excited I was like he s a great actor let s see what he does but he could have been played by anybody and it s not even will poulter s fault the script just didn t give him enough to do I feel like this movie was like all right Guardians movie um you teased Adam Warlock in the in the post credits scene of Guardians too we still haven t seen him we should probably have him in here fine let s make him a bounty hunter what do you say like yeah yeah he ll try to get the package the package being a someone fine and that s largely what he does he pounces onto the scene because he s here to get somebody he s here to kidnap someone and that s that that s that s his quest I wish I kind of would have been fine with if he had that higher way of speaking so at least when he s in a room talking people can be like whoa it s like you re the guys like you were created to be more oh you just did an Alan Watts monologue that s at least okay but that wasn t the case he kind of felt like if Superman and his powers went Splat with Pinocchio where it s like oh you re kind of a really powerful naive idiot who s not quite a real boy he never even says anything like I am less than human and far more than mad like nothing like that however Guardians 3 is a packed film so I kind of get it where it s like oh we also have to include Adam Warlock in a movie with rockets backstory you have the Guardians all working together and then the band splits up because there are a lot of them then you have the sub Guardians you know the ones hanging out on nowhere you have a lot of irons in this fire and you have to include Adam Warlock that s tough probably why you should have done an atom warlock Standalone film Maybe just maybe and I heard they were going to do a rocket Groot Standalone film and include Rocket s backstory with that that would have worked then you could have had Adam Warlock come into this movie and concentrate on his story and the high evolutionary you have the high evolutionary and then you have Adam Warlock who s like the Pinnacle of humanity and it s like they kind of address that and they re like yeah no we re going separate ways addressing it isn t hammering at home there s two different things they could have hammered at home they did not just keep Adam Warlock being the Bounty Hunter type he has a couple funny moments because MCU which largely does work for Guardians and as the Guardians of the Galaxy Adventure I thought the adventure was fine you get exactly what you pay ticket price for for Guardians of the Galaxy a space adventure with a crew of Misfits who largely yell at each other more in this movie than they feel they have before that did kind of get annoying for me multiple locations big CGI and then at a point they re like oh for higher morality we have to help the helpless people because we re the Guardians right problem is I feel like I ve seen this before and not in that I ve seen this two other times because this is Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3 kind of way but more on that this is another space adventure comedy in the MCU I feel like I ve seen that a lot more and that s a bummer I do want to judge this movie based on it being Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3 and it does its part to be that whatever else is going on in the MCU not its problem we re the Guardians that s our thing the problem is in the MCU the Guardians used to be more unique they used to be the misfit band that was going on the comedic space adventure now comedic space adventure that that s just MCU not counting this movie two out of the previous three MCU films were comedic space adventure granted Ant Man and the WASP quantumanian not outer space adventure more like Inner Space Adventure Point is a group of people end up on another world for an adventure comedy so I m gonna go ahead and count it same energy as they say point is in a world where these space adventure comedies largely feel like what the MCU box is and we have the Marvels coming out so we got more coming this year I rather preferred it when the Guardians were the Misfits who were the space adventure comedy and the MCU was largely not bad the movie has its final Act CGI blast that I mean every MCU movie has that we know that s going to be the case that would it would almost be weird if Guardians of the Galaxy is a big space adventure was like all right and no big CGI third act it just kind of it s done now the emotional things are what ended it that said it does have some cool visuals including this one corridor our fight that s you know how it is one of those One Shot green screen fights among a bunch of people where the Guardians are fighting a bunch of monsters that look like they re from the Doom video game it s pretty great I love that scene that was badass did it need to be in there absolutely not is the movie too long absolutely but of the things that you could cut out of here that is one I d like to stay what is it about comic book movies is this they re like all right two and a half hours minimum not that a long run time is innately bad but I couldn t help but walk out of this movie and be like yeah you could have trimmed some Corners you could have cut that one down in the end Guardians of the Galaxy volume 3 it s a fine space adventure it s a nice end to the Guardians movies that I ve heard it s the last Guardians movie but ironically and even sadly Guardians 3 feels more like a familiar MCU formula film rather than the unique Vision that started Guardians of the Galaxy in the first place get some beers get some friends probably be a good time if you re drunk yeah now it s a party but what I liked most about it wasn t the fun Guardians of the guy Galaxy Adventure it was actually the Rocket Raccoon tragedy real question is this the first MCU film to drop the F bomb because there is an F bomb in here I can t think of any other one in any other MCU movie if so well history has been made in a way all right so Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3 have you seen it what did you think about it whatever you thought comment

Star Trek: Picard

all right so Star Trek Picard season three it s good to the Odyssey of Star Trek Picard has been a wild one I saw season one I I felt I was nice to season one in season two I started watching it after the whole thing had come out so I already heard the chatter that people didn t like it that chatter mixed with what I was seeing in season two I got to about episode two and I was like I m good gotta admit though I did laugh when Picard looks right at Q and he was like I m too old for your so I wasn t interested in season three and then people started saying it was good I m talking silver haired old school Star Trek fans were saying no it s really good so I binged it yeah it s really good also this is gonna be generally speaking a spoiler free video I know some people might want me to delve deeper into the goings on of season three of Picard but that s a balancing act right there but there are reveals moments plot lines unfolding in which I think it ll serve you best watching it unfold not knowing it s coming rather than me telling you it s coming and it s just the impact s not as great I am going to talk about Beverly crusher s son and that Maury Povich kind of way who is the father I am going to talk about the lineage because I feel like that s important to talk about when talking about this season pretty sure you find out in episode two so it s fine now the big question is do you need to watch seasons one and two to understand what s going on in season three no you don t they make some references to season one don t know if they may need to season two but I guess that speaks to the fact that you don t need to watch season two because I didn t feel like I was missing anything but yeah essentially Picard s season three could have been called Star Trek Picard no seriously we mean it this time the character Rafi is the only character in season three that I recognize from season one at I was like everyone else is just gone so if you haven t seen it you might be like who who is this person who s this character why do I care but pretty soon it s going to be this character is hanging out with Wharf so if you don t know who she is at least she s hanging out with Worf you know Wharf you know what really hit me after episode one when the end credit song was the musical score to Star Trek first Contact which is what one of the most beautiful Star Trek songs ever made that s when I was like okay in terms of song Choice it s a pretty good pull right there it s they seem to know what the fans want I ll keep going it s amazing what music can do and I just fell in love with that theme in the movie theaters when I saw first Contact it was incredible and I have to talk about Jack Crusher because family is a huge part of the theme of Picard s season three feels weird to even call it Picard season three I might actually call it Picard yes we mean it we re serious this time not just the theme of The Blood Ties of family but also the family that you adopt throughout life I mean the Enterprise the crew is a family they talk about that in hearing you absolutely feel it there s this one scene where seven of nines reminiscing about Voyager and again with the importance of musical cues you hear the voyager s theme start to swell in the background almost like this is yeah business hitting there s another thing I liked about this this isn t just a love letter to Next Generation I mean it is but it s a love letter to that chapter in the federation s Life in that time frame you had Next Generation Deep Space Nine and Voyager and you get ties to all of it at some point it actually felt very MKX like if I look back at Mortal Kombat X I feel Mortal Kombat X did a really good job at having the Legacy characters age and then they bring their offspring their sons and daughters and their friends into it it all mixed really well that s what this feels like you know Jordi laforge has a daughter she s at the helm Picard and Beverly Crusher have their son jack yeah oopsie Daisy I m editing this video and I realize I forgot to tell you jack is the love child of Beverly Crusher and Jean Louis Picard okay moving on I know this may finish me shut up Wesley and there s Intrigue there s mystery with Jack you re like why is he why does he seem to see the upside down from stranger things what s going on with him I mean yeah granted it still deals with the whole uh Luke you never really wanted a son he didn t think you d be good at it I m like so Inner Light still didn t happen and okay whatever but if you re going to ignore inner light at least give me a compelling character dynamic between these two and I felt they did now bringing the characters back I was worried about wharfs probably another reason I was like I don t need to watch this because in the trailer and also in the show warp says something about it you should know that I now prefer pacifism to a combat we re all gonna die I was like of course they took the proud warrior Klingon and they re making him a pacifist what there s nothing more 2023 than that but it s not really like that the first thing he does is kill a group of scumbags decapitates this one dude I was like oh okay so you re still proud Klingon Warrior Wharf you just you know you meditate and find your center before or after doing that I can get behind that that s awesome we do have some newcomers as well the villains played by Amanda Plummer she plays vatic Amanda Plummer is such an interesting choice because I m used to her playing quirky characters and she absolutely doesn t hear her on the edge of Madness is absolutely in line with the character and I dug what her character was tied into damn spoiler free I I like that that was a good pull and I got to give props to Brent Spiner my recent binge of Star Trek the Next Generation I d watch all the special features at the end of each of the seasons and they all just give so much love to Brent Spiner like Patrick Stewart s like he is so talented and you really do see it you look at that episode um Fistful of dadas is what it s called where he the the Holodeck starts going awry so data is playing like Brent Spiner anyway is playing all the characters you just see the range there prefacing that leading into the point here which is when he s data and he would snap to lore and he d snapped a b forward he has to play all these characters it reminded me of Willem Dafoe and Spider Man when he s Norman Osborne and the Green Goblin talking to himself in the mirror and that s so great to see because you know you grow up loving this crew of characters and when they re all coming back you hope they haven t lost it you just hope it feels as seamless as it feels in your head it all worked and they all still got it they feel like they re characters you know you were never like that doesn t feel like Jordy laforge because it totally feels like Jordy laforge Riker feels like Riker War feels like Wharf and data has now come closer than ever to his actual ultimate goal his goal isn t just to get emotion it s like he got emotion everyone was like that s good enough there s a respect to the characters shown here in a world where Life Is Life and sometimes friends drift apart you get the feeling yeah this crew hasn t seen each other in a very long time but they come back together well because time is relative it could be a million years but they are still that family I will say there were a couple moments where I was like that is Nostalgia bait you know like Moriarty saw him in the trailer and I was like oh Moriarty s coming back so we didn t that little simulation he was in didn t get destroyed when Enterprise D went down in Star Trek generations Betty s pretty pissed about that turns out it s not really that he s just in it for one scene and it s a simulation of him it s not the same program per se and so then the scene s over and it ends and he s gone I was kind of bummed out about that he was one of the memorable characters one of the ones that calling him a villain doesn t really do the complexity of the character Justice he s incredible and he s my favorite Moriarty just ever it was good to see him but that Nostalgia wasn t as organic as the rest of it in the show also the show is really dark at a point I was like does the Federation have a religious thing against lights what s with the lighting the bridge is super dank there s at the end of the show someone s getting their debriefing they re getting a talking toe really dark it s just like this one three watt bulb lighting both of them I was like why though I get it looks all cinematic and dramatic but at the end when the crew gets together and they re making their big like hey it s we do this or the universe dies is a bit hyperbolic Galaxy though like that bridge is lit up just fine so I mean you could say it s allegory like yeah it was all depressing when they weren t together and now light and life that couldn t help but be like yeah but while we re all wallowing in depression and and the crew s not back together yet can we have a little bit more light just a little I almost forgot to talk about grumpy dick Captain he was great I loved him I m gonna give him his proper deal and call him Todd stashwick that is the actor s name he is not just Dollar Store Negan but he definitely felt like if Negan joined Starfleet bring that energy not that he s bludgeoning people to death with bats or anything but you know when they turn Negan good were you still watching at that point no well I ll fill you in they turn Negan good right but he still had that sarcastic energy this dude is that as a captain he was just such a grumpy chromogenous dick I couldn t help but be entertained when he was on screen it s one of those characters you don t necessarily want to go out of your way to hang out with him but say you re hanging out with friends and this dude showed up you d be like oh man it s the grumpy deck and then by the end of the night you d be like but he did make me laugh he was fantastic a total standout there s a moment dealing with him in seven of nine where I was like I the move shut up I m not crying you re crying track will bring on the man tears and they re supposed to and you know when at a point when the ax drops and it s like okay these are the stakes and we really gotta it s up to us crew I thought that was actually really clever just in terms of the tech of the Universe I really dug that and in the last couple episodes I didn t know who was going to live or die I like that because it s like yeah you bring the crew back they re all you know aging we ll say this is the last season of Star Trek Picard I feel like this is probably the last time these actors are going to reprise these roles so anything can happen I like not knowing who s gonna live or who s gonna die and the stakes they were the stakes and in the end this is the final mission for the Next Generation crew that they deserve I mean they essentially had that at one point with all good things it s an incredible series finale one of the best ever though the next Generation movies were when it was great it was great with first Contact ended with a whimper in Star Trek Nemesis and that s what we were left with that was the last mission with this crew they just deserved better this is that better and I m glad I watched it and I m glad it looks like the creative team listened to fans and they re like okay they re not digging seasons one and two oh they want the crew to get back together and have that whole next gen all right I guess we ll give them that I mean in terms of the Next Generation crew coming back together the band is getting back together what do you want to see no you don t get that you don t get to see will Reicher smash on ryzer for 10 solid episodes but you get the next best thing your beloved crew of senior citizens coming together going against Starfleet protocol to save the Galaxy yeah you get that and it s awesome all right so Star Trek Picard season three have you seen it what did you think about it whatever you thought comment below let me know and as always if you

Evil Dead Rise

gonna be honest with you is probably going to be more of a gush session let me know that you know that don t piss off just yet stick around but let s take a feed in the machine that is that YouTube algorithm but I m just saying that s a bloody good time so evil dead Rises a new Evil Dead film it has Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi as producers but Lee Cronin directed this one there s his family in this really crickety creepy apartment which is a great setting for a movie like this one of them finds This creepy book like hey Book of the Dead sounds great then whoops the blood hits the fan now when I saw a trailer for this one people seemed really excited and I was like it seems like just another horror movie another demon possessing people has that really dank dark pick your Blum House picture it kind of looked like that but make no mistake they saved all the great raymie ish flavor for the film and that was amazing to see I m not saying in that Nostalgia bait kind of way though it is nostalgic to see that for this world absolutely it also does have some fun nods too evil dead but it doesn t rely on that what I m talking about is some of the camera work Parts in here I was like are you sure raymie didn t direct this the title segment for Evil Dead rise itself I was like are you sure Remy didn t direct this if not for continuity s sake just for the sake of enjoyment and fun while watching the movie completely worked for me and I thought everyone in the movie did a great job Lily Sullivan s essentially the hero of this film she s the cool ants who s forced into this situation to try to get her nieces in nephews out of this situation because well their mom has died and become big evil the kids were great in this movie to the point where I want to be like does the studio cover the therapy bills just just asking just seems important to ask that but Alyssa Sutherland as dead possessed demon mom was the film yeah being an effective demon like this is not just about contorting or floating or Screaming but being vile and mean enough to say the meanest things to the people in the room knowing it cuts that deep mom let me let the maggots down that s hurt I m gonna be honest with you there were moments in here I was laughing I I wasn t laughing at the movie I was laughing because the demon she was having such a good time I couldn t help but have a good time before you go out there being like Oh Jeremy said it was a comedy let s do it and you yourself find yourself in a therapy session blaming me for that I m not saying it s a comedy I m not even saying the movie s funny I m saying when there are characters and actors on screen having a good time I find it infectious and I m likely to have a good time I guess that also translates to Demons tormenting an entire family I don t know what to say or maybe I m not Jeremy anymore maybe Jeremy s with the man good smell she s a demon that checks all the boxes playful frightening Sinister scary not relying on jump scares or I can t think of a jump scare in this entire thing I m just saying she was such a in the movie couldn t help but enjoy myself there s a psychological warfare element when tormenting a family when it comes to a demon doing that I think a lot of horror movies just kind of skip past that part they re like all right let s get to the jump scares this movie doesn t it plays it smart it does it effective it does what it does well and yes this movie s a complete and total bloodbath absolutely if you got to the end of Dead Alive and you were like that was a good time I m sure you ll love it if you enjoy measuring your on screen blood volume not in gallons but elevators full found a movie for you now this movie s not going to be for everybody absolutely but if you re an evil dead fan or generally speaking a horror movie fan this one stands out right with the camera work the violence I thought this movie was incredibly imaginative the movie s not that long it s an hour 40 minutes but there is a point where I was like if it ends now that would be great it s still going it s starts going on ridiculous the movie was 10 minutes shorter I don t mind saying it would have been perfect I didn t know what I expected from this movie what I got was the most enjoyable horror film I personally have experienced in years this is a film that was crafted to be part of that annual Halloween horror movie bash that you have with your friends and it s worth watching and worth buying on Blu ray alright so evil dead rise have you seen it what did you think about it whatever you thought comment below let me know and as always if you like what you ve seen here and you want to see more click right here to see more foreign

Chevalier

love me a good historical biopic in this case a biopic about someone we all probably should have learned about in history class but we did not so now we get to see this person s life through a keyhole let s do it so Chevalier is a biopic about the life of Joseph Balon musical Maestro also expert sword fighter also Marksman you imagine something that the human body or imagination can do and he was just good at it a superpower he just had a superpower that was being great at things I was glad they touched on him being a swordsman it s not just like oh he s great at violin there was more to it but more to it in real life than the movie actually showed so there is that now this takes place Circa France 1700s right before the French Revolution out the gate giving credit to Kelvin Harrison Jr as Joseph Balon Chevalier himself I thought it was fantastic in the role and he generally carries the film yes he does have some great supporting actors working with him Samara weaving being one of them now this movie surprised me at being about an hour and 45 minute run time I m not used to that for historical musical biopics usually I m I m used to the Amadeus that s a quantifiable run time Amadeus it s usually like how long is this movie uh Amadeus all right let me piss first one second right so an hour 45 it works both for this film and against in that same way that your weaknesses are your strengths just in certain situations and vice versa case in point hour 45 minutes is generally speaking a pretty tight run time you re engaged for most of it that said this movie could have and should have been so much more I mean keeping it vague he has this friend in the movie and then he and his friends they seem pretty close and they have a falling out and he says something like I defended you when people were besmirching your name I wanted to be like anyone in this theater who saw that happen could you raise your hand all right so it s not just me that legitimately did not happen on screen it s a classic case for the movie telling you something happened without showing you that thing happened which means it doesn t really stick The Landing emotionally speaking I wouldn t doubt it it would not surprise me if I found out later there s some three hour cut of this film out there somewhere I feel like this film s gonna run into problems with audiences with one of two scenarios you re in one of two camps one you are skilled and versed you re a scholar into the life of Joseph Balon in which case you re gonna watch this film and be like well that was a Bare Bones could have should have been more version of that person s life or two and this is where I ran into it I walked out of the movie being like that was perfectly enjoyable it was a perfectly enjoyable biopic absolutely then I was interested enough to look into the life further which is really what a biopic should leave you with but man this is a rare case of the real life story being far more interesting than this movie was yeah aside from violin riding dancing swimming skating fencing the movie touches on two of those things including violin and some of it was traded out for the sake of entertainment but also not historically accurate for example the way this movie starts out is is him having a dueling violin Showdown with Mozart for the film s entertainment purposes it was absolutely entertaining and pretty awesome and I know why they did it because people have taken to calling Joseph balloon black Mozart which severely undercuts him and his skills and all that he did so it s like all right have him whip Mozart s ass there you go but historically not only do these two cross paths but they lived under the same roof at a point in fact historians have taken some of Mozart s music and lined it up with Joseph balloons and they re like I m pretty sure Mozart stole that that to me is more interesting but yeah you can have him just dueling violins at the beginning and sure also the dude fought in war that s a huge part of his life but we just kind of get that in the text at the end I hope this movie is successful in that gauging audience interest kind of way so we can hopefully get that HBO miniseries that this life absolutely lends itself to this was an interesting glimpse into a very fascinating life but it feels like that a glimpse if you can imagine viewing a beautiful landscape through a keyhole that s what this movie feels like but for a casual viewing experience it s perfectly enjoyable I m gonna say it s a good time no alcohol required caveat at matinee price all right so Chevalier have you seen it what did you think about it what s your favorite historical biopic whatever it is whatever you think comment below let me know and as always if you like what you ve seen here and you want to see more click right here to see more

Renfield

you see this is why failure is more important than success because if that mummy reboot had succeeded it launched the dark universe as it was intended to we probably never would have gotten to see what would happen if Nick Cage and all Nick cages went Splat with Count Dracula so renfield s directed by Chris McKay Stars Nicholas Holt as Renfield who is Dracula s familiar Nicholas Cage plays Count Dracula and this movie is a bloody dark comedy slash allegory about getting out of toxic relationships with narcissists okay obviously we re dealing with a little bit more than just narcissism here and half of this movie is exactly what the trailer pitches and promises you which is exactly what works Renfield and Dracula that whole dynamic it s pretty awesome when I heard Nicholas Cage was playing Dracula in this movie before I saw the trailer I was like that that s one of those calls either someone knows exactly what they re doing or they are so far off the mark happy to say it absolutely works it works for the tone of that I mean it wouldn t work for any movie if you plopped Nicholas Cage Dracula in Bram Stoker s Dracula no but for a hyper violent bloody dark comedy in which Nicholas Cage can just be unhinged and be that which we know to be Nick Cage also Dracula version of him it totally works as we all know there s only only one Nick Cage and so this is the only person who can ever play Dracula like this and actually have it work the big bummer is the unbearable weight of massive Talent came out last year if it had come out after this movie came out they d have a lot more to play with Nicholas Holtz also great in this movie I feel like in these past years we ve seen Nicholas Holtz either get better at his comedic timing or get roles in which he can better articulate it and show it on screen it also has a bit of a superhero angle in there he eats bugs that s how he gets the powers that Dracula s giving him in which case he can completely annihilate people by annihilate them I mean punch their heads off rip their arms off I was baffled every now and then when ass and blood just shoots everywhere and it s like a couple drops just hit the person that did it or the person that s two feet from the body that exploded and it was like the CGI blood has to become real blood on the people for the next shot you know like I knew he forgot something there is something amazing about blood and gore that goes together with comedy so well I won t say like peanut butter and jelly it s not that commonplace but definitely peanut butter and honey it s that delicious the action sequences they were great exciting bloody fun absolutely and I feel like the allegory the relationship between Renfield and Dracula and Renfield trying to break away but Dracula being a narcissist that s what s gonna hit people if they get hooked with this movie that s the hook it s actually really well done with characters that are perfect allegory for that that said that s half the movie there s another movie wrapped into this movie that makes you go like where did this come from no one no one cares and it has to deal with aquafina s character playing this cop in this Precinct they re corrupt cops and she s trying to take down this mob family I m telling you it feels like someone was like yeah I m working on a script right now for a movie I call Renfield we re trying to get Nick Cage to play Dracula don t worry it should work it ll be a violent dark comedy slash allegory about toxic relationships I ll have superhero elements you know Renfield will eat bugs he ll get powers and totally obliterate Baddies I only have 45 minutes of script written now so don t quite know what to do with it that sounds amazing to me let me know how that goes I m working on a script right now too we re trying to get Aquafina for the role she s this nice cop in a Precinct full of crooked cops she doesn t know who to trust her father was killed on duty by these Mobsters so she s trying to take down these Mobsters who deal Coke don t have a title yet but I call it Coke decks you know dick d i c s as in detectives in charge and it s a working title anyway but I only have 45 minutes of the script written so I don t know what to do with it either wait a minute I have 45 minutes I have 45 minutes by the power of math we combine these two into one 90 minute film boom it feels like that is exactly what happened this movie feels like two movies and one of these movies is really compelling the other one probably could have been as its own movie in a Renfield Dracula movie just feels out of place granted in any vampire or Dracula movie you re gonna have people that aren t Supernatural and they re just kind of peering into this situation as to what s going on I get Renfield getting a friend absolutely but to bring the precinct and these Mobsters into the story in that Renfield kind of feels like the Warcraft movie for me where I m like half of that movie was great the other half I did not care about only instead of the great half being the Orcs it s the Dracula Renfield element in the end when this movie was a bloody good time it was when it was funny the audience was laughing Nicolas Cage and Nicholas halt have an amazing Dynamic and if anyone buys a ticket just to see Nick Cage play Dracula the way he does I would not fault them the movie started out amazing but as it kept going felt the momentum just got compromised with this other movie within the movie that I just didn t care about I feel like this movie be a better time with a bit of the sacrament yes now it s a party all right so Renfield have you seen it what did you think about it whatever you thought comment below let me know and as always if you like what you ve seen here and you want to see more click right here to see more boom I gotta pick those up for the next shot

The Super Mario Bros. Movie

three decades after that classic early 90s trash fire monstrosity Nintendo was like okay we will give a mulligan another Mario Brothers movie We re allowing it here s hoping for a Legend of Zelda movie and Metroid also but here we go Mario so the Super Mario Brothers movie is an adaptation of the Super Mario Brothers game for the big screen I feel like that s all the setup you need right there it s an animated feature by illumination entertainment the plot is very much the plot of a Super Mario game Mario and Luigi go down a drain go to this magical world Bowser s causing problems he needs to be stopped want to touch on the voice acting here also because that s where the apprehension was like oh Chris Pratt it s Mario s hmm no one seemed Blown Away by Chris Pratt s Mario iteration in the trailer but he really works in this movie in fact most anyone in this movie is pretty well cast they do a good job in this movie in a very clever way addressing Mario sounds like this and that s totally cool but it s not just Mario Charlie day is Luigi is next level perfect Anya Taylor Joy is peach Keegan Michael key is Toad Seth Rogen is Donkey Kong going on and on here but the point is when you re watching the movie and you re watching the voices play out in front of you you can t help but think is there anyone else I would cast who would be better in these roles no not for my money I can t think of anyone Jack Black as Bowser also great there s actually some humorous moments with Bowser where he s just pining over Peach and you gotta think well yeah he probably does do that in his off time it s part of the humor of the movie because this is an animated feature for children there is one small role in the movie A support character that I didn t feel the voice fit as well I don t know if people know this character s in the movie but I could have gone for the character sounding older and crankier and the animation is great this movie is kind of extraordinary actually the metric for that I don t know if it s even accurate but it s water effects water particles when anyone s in water for some odd reason I look at that I m like okay that s how good the animation is in Super Mario Brothers movie it s actually pretty incredible Easter eggs and references oh yeah they re all in here and they start out pretty early too the thing that makes it different for this movie is there are a lot of movies out there that just rely on Easter eggs and references this never felt like member berries it just it felt like a celebration it felt fun it would have felt weird if they didn t have them so I enjoyed them when I saw them I had fun when they caught my eye my fellow Super Mario Brothers Super Show fans you ll know it you ll hear it and Brian Tyler s musical score for this film I felt was a great way to take classic Mario tunes and adapt them for live actuals not live action it s animated but you know what I mean adapt it for the big screen change it up a little bit to fit the action sequence that s going down as it s going down but still maintain the core of the theme that you re playing off of I thought it was really well done and what a project you know that must have been a lot of fun being like I have these classic tunes that I get to tweak with and adapt to the big screen I kind of envy him for that as for what bothered me in this movie I know you don t want things to bother you it s a Mario movie but there are always things I felt this movie cut short that which makes a Mario game a Mario game which is the platforming the action platforming example there s a scene where they re like okay we re at Point a we gotta get to point B here we go then it cuts back to them they re like okay we ve arrived at point B well my thought was I I m sure there s a whole journey to getting here and that s really the spirit of a Super Mario Brothers game there seemed to be a movie that was more concerned about the destination than the journey and I feel like a Mario game is more concerned with the journey than the destination not that the movie doesn t have action sequences the last act has all of that it s actually kind of awesome it s a lot it s fun it s within the context and lore of the Super Mario Brothers games and the power ups that be now finishing off my I know Less Fun negative observations I got to address something the movie did that I felt did hurt it and that is separating Mario and Luigi they do kind of a script flipping here where Luigi s the one that gets captured by Bowser so it s Mario Peach and Toad that are on the adventure Peach not getting captured and going on the adventure totally fine on more than a couple of occasions she has been in on the action by not getting kidnapped whatever but it was weird that they felt someone still needed to get kidnapped so we re gonna kidnap Luigi they use that as the reason Mario goes on this adventure but I don t think he needed it there s enough Threat Level there it s like Bowser is going to destroy the Mushroom Kingdom maybe Mario or Luigi would be like oh we just want to get home but one of them could talk to the other one and be like we should help we need help because that s what Heroes do and then they ll be like all right yeah let s let s help this world out that sounds like a good idea because we re good guys I d be totally fine with that all this is to say I thought it was a mistake separating Mario and Luigi because Chris Pratt and Charlie Day are amazing together the Mario and Luigi Dynamic the Brotherly Love dynamic between these two was actually kind of incredible and the first 20 minutes or so of setup is with them and then you separate them yeah I had that feeling of oh well Mario and Luigi need to you know he needs to save his brother so the duo can get back together but what superseded that feeling what overrode that was the feeling of yeah the movie is a lot less now because they re separated it would have been so much better to keep them on screen together I know Mario s had his solo Adventures before without Luigi but in terms of this movie and the setup for this film the two were just too good together to separate look in the end you re gonna hear this word where people talk about the Super Mario Brothers movie you re gonna hear it s a cute movie because it s true it is a cute movie it s actually a really tough thing adapting a Super Mario Brothers movie because Super Mario fandom spans about well it s nearly four decades now who do you aim the movie towards this is a family film it s a film for children absolutely it hit its Mark in some spots had its flaws in other spots funny it s a 90 minute run time usually I feel like that s a perfect run time for a family animated film but if they kick that up to an hour 45 it felt like we could have gotten one or two more action platforming sequences that would have felt a little more like a Mario Brothers game it s a fun family time at the movies it s not as amazing as you probably wanted to be but also on the other hand it doesn t suck some of the flaws aside I still had a fun time in this one no alcohol required or mushrooms you know whatever substance is in the Mushroom Kingdom these days or so the Super Mario Brothers movie have you seen it what did you think about it what s your favorite Super Mario Brothers game that s a good question whatever you think comment below let me know and as always if you like what you ve seen here and you want to see more click right here to see more Metroid is Ellen Ripley in an Iron Man suit

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

for the past two decades I cannot see the title Dungeons and Dragons or hear it and not think of that classic audio comedy Dungeons and Dragons Satan s game and I figured I d start this video out by blowing your mind taking you back to the Napster days but we got a new DND movie to talk about so let s do it so Dungeons and Dragons honor among Thieves is a new fantasy comedy based off of the popular role playing game and I had no care for a new dungeons of dragons movie Zero given I I don t even think I think I might have seen one trailer back in the day but no more what can I say I was there over two decades ago when the previous d d movie came out all my friends and I were all pumped and well that well it happened the way it happens and I guess that just changed me which is completely unfair new creative team this movie s not even linked to that movie it s unfair to be like that movie from a couple decades sucked so I m not gonna look forward to this movie what can I say it s just just how it was and to my surprise this movie was a shh fuckingly enjoyable time first of all you have Chris Pine leading this film for what this movie is that is perfect it s perfect casting for a league because Chris Pine comes across as naturally charmingly funny it doesn t ever feel like he s trying there are people who say funny things and there are people who say things funny for example Hugh Grant in this movie it does feel like Hugh Grant is scripted to say funny things you can almost see the director be like okay now do a quirky yeah that s the energy we re going for perfect he s saying funny things because he needs to in this fantasy Adventure comedy Chris Pine just comes across as saying things funny he s just naturally being Chris Pine and is working the script can be bad guy we are taking her to the castle good guy wait where are you taking her with most people it d be like we re taking her to the castle where are you taking her with Chris Pine is like we re taking her to the castle oh good wait where are you taking her for this movie and what the vibe the movie was going for Chris Pine absolutely worked that is Mary band of Misfits work too it s good of amusing to me that we re we re done with the age of the of the super strong like yes the warrior the Paladin is absolutely the lead good guy not Chris Pine s The Bard you have a mage Barbarian you do have a paladin that comes in for a bit they do come across as a group of we shouldn t be the last best hope but we are so we re just gonna do our thing and in fact it s not to do the thing Chris Pine s trying to save his daughter which is a fun flip on the whole Save The Princess and the castle thing and when thinking about it maybe I m just looking for excuses I I don t know but in full transparency it s absolutely possible but the banter that they have in this movie and making this a fun a friendly banter comedy I guess it s the term not a real genre but I ma say it that way it does have that Vibe of the kind of banter friends would have when they re around a table playing DND granted it didn t need to be that way for that reason right when the Warhammer series comes out I want the dark gritty lore based world that I like about Warhammer because friends play it around a table I don t need a banter comedy or someone s like all right can you hit him I can but uh all right I think I have line of sight it s on his shoulder this this shot s gonna kill him because it hits his shoulder what no you don t have line of sight yeah I do here check it all right well it s not really a line of size totally line of sight I can hit his shoulder no you can t well I can hit his toe that counts too I don t need dialogue like that though it is a thing it s the kind of dialogue and banter that happens when people play Warhammer there s even this one scene where someone s listing off everything they need to do to get across this problem it just sounds like a DM listing off the overly complicated rules that the players need to do to to solve this problem I couldn t help but see that scene see the banter and feel like oh that s why they went for this Vibe they like the vibe of friends around a table playing d d though it they re not around the table they re in the world which is how it s supposed to feel when you play DND you have an active imagination so there is that that might act as a double edged sword though they re people who watch this movie I know they re DND fans are like yeah that s it was actually pretty cool because that s how it feels there might be other folks out there who will be like it s D and D I love d d I was hoping for the next Lord of the Rings come on this is not that it s not the next Lord of the Rings though to be fair I don t think audiences anywhere ever thought it could be or would be the CGI in this movie is absolutely ass which is another funny thing it s like hey it s an action comedy with CGI sounds like we re talking about recent MCU I usually give the MCU scrutiny for that but all things not being equal I just I don t as much for this movie because Dungeons and Dragons honor among Thieves isn t the biggest cinematic property in the history of movies backed by the biggest Studio feels like an underdog so it s like all right you have CGI I get it you didn t have an unlimited budget whatever kind of like in high school but I got a B on a test the teacher was like Jeremy you got a B so good to see that you actually studied for this test it looks like that studying is paying off good job but if the straight A student got a B you d be like is everything okay is a do you need to talk to a counselor and this movie is a bit too long could have shaped 15 minutes easy but in the end Dungeons and Dragons honor among Thieves it surprised me it s a fun fantasy Adventure comedy with endearing characters actually had a pretty solid Heist segment in here too that I felt was the strongest part of the entire thing actually second to the movie s core and to its core it does have a heartfelt family dynamic in here I really appreciate it I rarely bring up ratings but it s rated PG 13 I bring it up because it s in that Revenge of the Sith kind of way where it s like well it s not the hardest PG 13 I ve ever seen that is to say if you and your family you re looking for a nice time out at the movies this movie comes out at the end of the month I feel like this is a good one it was a fun time no alcohol required all right so Dungeons and Dragons honor among Thieves have you seen it what did you think about it or do you play D and D what s your class do you cast magic Missile and do you attack the darkness whatever you think comment below let me know and as always if you like what you ve

Shazam! Fury Of The Gods

yeah a new case of sequelitis you hate to see it but it happens I really liked and loved by me Shazam Billy Batson and his siblings The Rock and the powers of Shazam otherwise known as powers of gods they re out there saving people but not so gracefully doing so a lot of collateral damage but now these goddesses known as the daughters of Kronos they ve shown up they don t like humans too much so all right they re gonna cause problems new movie now what I liked about this movie I got to give a special shout out to Jack Dylan Grazer I felt he was the emotional center of the entire film he s always been a talented kid this movie is a testament to that I felt he really brought it but it is also a testament to the fact that the emotional center of a movie like this is when they re not superheroes they re just normal kids and that also feeds into what I appreciate about Asher Angel playing Billy Batson in this film because in the previous film the contrast between Billy Batson Asher Angel and how Zachary Levi acted it was too vast they didn t feel like the same person that Gap that contrast it s still there but you can tell Asher Angel is trying his best to act like Zach Levi more in this film than he did in the previous film it s like they listened to the fan feedback they proceed accordingly I appreciate that weird thing is Billy Batson is largely absent in this film he s in it but not as much as you d think not as much as the previous film most of the time when you see the character he s Shazam he s Zachary Levi he s the adult superhero version there are even scenes where he and his Shazam fam they re all hanging out in their Shazam cave and they re they re in their superhero Shazam well I guess it s not outfits they re in their adult superhero forms but they re just planning and hanging out no reason to be and I felt that did cost the movie Something the emotional center point of the characters is best seen when their kids you know when they re in their youthful form and they re dealing with their problems when they re in their Shazam form for most of the movie it loses a bit of that contrast it feels less like their kids who get to become superheroes and more like their god like superheroes who sometimes become kids and that was actually the positive part of the review because the rest of the movie was just it was generic superhero stuff you don t really have cool or relatable villains in this movie granted you could make the villains people don t really know or care about you can make them cool in the movie but they just didn t generally love Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu but they came across as generic 2004 comic book movie villains dropped in 2023 from there the rest of the movie is bringing back characters they killed off in the previous movie that they want to bring back for this movie also it s a flowing ebb of have their powers they don t because they have to Nerf the Shazam fam otherwise the baddies to be taken out pretty quickly that s what I mean when I say sequelitis not like this movie was planned from the first one if it was don t tell me it was let me blissfully believe that the mess of a sequel came about because of the success of the first movie and it wasn t planned I used the word generic because it s the only word to describe my general feeling that this movie left me with generic villain summon a whole horde of generic CGI monsters for the last act and I didn t care didn t care about the CGI monsters didn t care about the villains that summoned them and there are some emotional moments in this movie even near the end I did appreciate they were there I was just bored by the time I saw them now I do appreciate the fact this movie doesn t rely on the general dceu which is now non existent but it doesn t rely on the universe to pitch and sell the movie it operates how I feel a comic book movie should operate operate within your own contained story know that as part of a larger universe as a whole have a couple Easter eggs in there that reminds the odd audience that is part of that but they don t have to watch every TV show movie it doesn t feel like homework I did appreciate Shazam for that granted there is that overall feeling when a couple of tie ins are referenced and are shown you re like what s the point luckily these moments don t plague the film too badly but you can t help but notice you can t help but think about it you can t help but when you see these moments think to yourself what is the point look in the end Shazam Fury of the Gods as someone who loved the first shazam movie I was really disappointed with this sequel as a movie that deals largely with magic it was surprisingly devoid of it it almost feels like they didn t know what made the first shazam movie special and click with audiences who liked it so they were just grasping at straws for the sequel you know what s funny is I don t even hate this movie it sounds like I do but I don t it s I kind of nothing I m not gonna remember not in T minus one day yep already forgot all right so Shazam Fury of the gods have you seen it what did you think about it whatever you thought comment below let me know and as always if you like what you ve seen here and you want to see more click right here to see more

John Wick: Chapter 4

foreign I love these movies so John Wick chapter 4 is the fourth chapter in what we call the absolutely amazing John Wick series after the events of chapters two and three the table it s pretty much the John Wick Illuminati they re the the Council of this underworld of Assassins they want John Wick dealt with Phil Skarsgard plays the one leading that charge and now John Wick who for two movies now has heard that beep beep beep sound in his ear because he s been at minimal HP he s licked his wounds he s healed up now he s back to full HP and now yes he s here to play you want to hear about the action right well we gotta talk about the characters first first of all I mean I m convinced Keanu is the only one who could keep this franchise going this long because he s he s so Keanu on screen in a way that no one else could be yeah I would be shocked if I learned he had more than 10 lines in this entire film but I kind of see his character kind of see John Wick as the penitent one in silence and blasphemy as a game which I love where is Blasphemous 2 information I just want a trailer come on dependent one he never talks but he is the vessel taking the audience through this Odyssey through this world of rules and lore and it s kind of what John Wick is there are supporting characters in this film which Hammer home the dramatic moments John Wick s language that he communicates with the audience is one of action but it s done so well it s a communication that still does hit it s it s a language all its own that they absolutely nail in John Wick but the support characters in this film I thought were great Bill Skarsgard I will use the word magnificent because that s that s the kind of character he is he s a magnificent character absolute douche total prick in that John Wick kind of world it s a world of fashion and Flair big Cathedrals huge art galleries amazing suits and that s why we watch it and he s the guy who wears the most expensive but doesn t have one tenth the class I thought he was great Donnie and his character I felt lend some complexity but also amazing physicality because it s Donnie and in a John Wick movie of course you re going to use his physicality different characters giving different fight Styles the movie never feels redundant and that s saying something 2 hour 45 minute action film a two hour 45 minute action film that s the fourth film in the franchise also Donnie Yen plays a blind badass like in Rogue one this is kind of funny to me and it totally works it s like oh blind Donnie Yen so he s gonna everyone up everyone knows that they re about to shed their mortal coil great as long as I know it totally works for former Jedi and John Wick characters that s kind of that s the realm John Wick s playing with here ever since the first John Wick when we got to the Continental in the first John Wick I was like there is something comic book flavor in here and I love it let me just slip into it like a warm bath and four continues to play with it amazingly also Shamir Anderson s character true wild card also he has the dog he s the dog element he s the one with the attack dog that assists him because it s not a John Wick film without a dog as for the action sequences incredible I think is putting it mildly because at this point you feel like okay it s the fourth John Wick movie I ve seen it all before but not like this the John Wick movies do a good job at escalation you know yeah in John Wick movies before you ve seen shootouts you ve seen hand to hand combat you ve seen hand weapon combat you ve seen human body versus automobile combat but not like you ve seen it in John Wick chapter four it just does an incredible job at making you feel like this is the first time you ve experienced a John Wick film usually that s something that the first sequel has to deal with like how do we make two not feel like one this is the fourth chapter the fourth installment still feels new there was actually an action sequence in here I was like I said to the dude to the left of me I know him don t worry it wasn t weird not like I was like Hey dude I never met before I went dude this feels like a video game and I meant that in the best way possible and he replied it feels like Hotline Miami my response was can I use the video thank you Aaron I appreciate it this is the perfect way to describe it I was watching it I was like this is Hotline Miami and I know what you re thinking we ve seen action sequences I feel like Hotline Miami not like this I never felt the two hour 45 minute run time at no point did I feel like I was watching a movie that was almost three hours it always had great momentum it was always being pushed forward and they used all of that time to introduce characters that are actually interesting characters you wouldn t mind seeing in the future possibly in spin offs I know we re already getting a spin off about the Continental I would not mind to spin off about Donnie Yen s character John Wick chapter four Nails it you know so often in movies you see characters that feel shoehorned into the movie to set up for a spin off that no one asked for but that s the sole reason they re there John Wick chapter four the characters are interesting in the movie they make sense in the movie and you want to see a spin off because you want to see more of those interesting characters that s how it should be in the end what they delivered here wasn t just a John Wick movie it s a John Wick Odyssey and John Wick chapter 4 is a testament to the John Wick films being among the cleanest and most satisfying action films we get in current Western Cinema as for the negatives in John Wick chapter 4 well I guess that s that satisfying that s the word for John Wick chapter four or if you prefer awesome tacular it has the style the Flair and the world of rules that we know and love from a John Wick film also the action they know the audience is craving at this point they dial it up to 11 you know when people say oh everything s bigger doesn t necessarily mean better I don t mind saying John Wick chapter 4 is bigger and better than chapters two and three all right so John Wick chapter four have you seen it what did you think about it or how do you rank the John Wick films whatever you think comment below let me know and as always if you like what you ve

The Last Of Us: FINALE

this is our last week spending our last day in the apocalypse my friends we ve laughed we ve cried and now it s over the only apocalypse we can enjoy now is the one we call life also given a spoiler warning for the last of us I m going to talk about The Last of Us finale gonna talk about everything that happens and basically if you haven t watched The Last of Us Series this might not be the YouTube video you want to watch or click on I m not gonna stop you if you want to stick around I mean algorithm the out of it I m just saying you ve been warned now where this episode started out how it opened up I ll get to in a second funny thing for me is I was like this is the shortest episode of the entire series which is kind of that s amusing to me it s like season finale shortest episode but I guess it is pretty straightforward Joel and Ellie they re walking they re making small talk Jules acting like the cool Uncle like hey how you doing Ellie Chef Boyardee you hungry you seem a little blue right now because you just smashed a Cannibal s face in with a big blade who was gonna eat you and hey better Chef Boyardee than you it s all kind of awkward but they get to the facility in which Joel is told hey by the way just like the game it actually plays out very accurate where it s like yeah uh we got a killer in order to get this cure so you take off now Joel we got this and I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised with the body count that Joel racked up in there I mean body counts not everything but there were moments in this show where I was like I could have had more enemies well they could have had more enemies I had more enemies in the game than they had on screen unless it s a big wave of those clickers that were coming out of the ground other than that this show quite often I was like that should have been more there should have been more enemies so I was a little afraid for the scene where Joel goes to this hospital I m like I need blood I need Slaughter I need Joel to be Terminator from T1 when he was going to the police station with some really Downer somber music oh wow look at that it s pretty much what I got so I really liked that could have gone for more bricks bludgeoning heads shock that that never happened in this show that s such a such a main weapon in the game oh well I did like the shot after Joel kills the doctor and he s like all right unhook her right now when he s leaving with Ellie there is that after shot of the Dead doctor on the ground because that s pretty much what kicks off the last of us too so yeah Jules told by the way Ellie s going to die we have to rip this cure from our brain too bad so sad and Joel was like not today everyone dies and he gets Ellie the show ends exactly where it left off in the game now in the beginning of this episode Ashley Johnson s a flashback Ashley Johnson plays Ellie s mom but you gotta love the Poetry there it s the actor who played Ellie playing Ellie s mom giving birth to Ellie this is the first time that I saw the reason behind Ellie being immune which was her mom while she was pregnant with Ellie Was Bitten and then she gave birth to Ellie and now Ellie s immune the implication being baby bump plus bite equals immune baby which does change the logistics of it a little bit it takes Ellie from being this anomaly is like we don t know how but she is immune so there s that two there s a formula to someone being immune skipping past the fact that we re dealing with the fireflies a really up organization that if they knew the formula and the road map that leads to someone being immune they definitely would have recreated those conditions or at least tried to I m just saying but it does hit differently seeing the road map that led to Ellie s immunity rather than being like Ellie has a genetic anomaly and she s immune that s all I need to know for me a world like The Last of Us thrives on fear and uncertainty and not knowing how Ellie s immune only that she is immune I like that better as much as I felt this show hammered home the drama like when it wanted you to feel you felt when it wanted you to get the you know the knot in your throat it would get you there I do wish it balanced action with the drama a little more maybe that s the advantage of a game it s like oh for gameplay purposes you re gonna have more action and that s why the game is just the way to go but at a point it felt like all the infected are gone we re not dealing with infected anymore which does happen to a degree in the game but infected we re always around in the game for the show it goes out of its way to break down the lore of if you step on one of these nerve endings in the ground all the infected within a mile or whatever they ll know where you are that s a pretty intricate mechanic that you see in this one episode and after that there s just never seen again does make it feel like oh we really need this cure from Ellie it s like cure from what cure from the thing we haven t seen for half the show as much as I ve enjoyed it though it is proof positive that a really good narrative based story driven action game will never have an adaptation that s better than the game I said this in a video before I think it was one of the Resident Evil adaptations where I said video games have become so cinematic games like The Last of Us for example that they fulfill that cinematic need that an adaptation would have done before but now games just do for themselves only difference is the game has gameplay which is another level of immersion that helps draw you into the world that a live action adaptation just can t have and that to me is the case with the last of us it was a great adaptation but the source material still does it best but in terms of adaptation I thought the show did really well I kind of see the show as The Last of Us for your parents or other people who just don t play games I say parents because that s my natural inclination my parents don t get my dad plays a living out of Tetris but that is it so I m saying like for people who haven t touched a game since they felt the real tragedy of making it through Bowser s Castle and they re like oh God he throws axes too then they never touch the game since but the story of The Last of Us is still good and you feel like they should experience it now there s a series for you to show them so in the end the series of The Last of Us I thought it was really good I ve enjoyed watching it weekly I ve enjoyed doing videos on it weekly I don t envy the task of adapting too all right so the last of us the finale the series all of it have you seen it what did you think about it that s phrase weird why would you watch the finale without watching the series The implication is there whatever moving past it whatever you think comment below let me know and as always if you like what you ve seen here and you want to see more click right here to see

Children of the Corn (2023)

let s play in the Metroid Prime remaster sniffing around doing that end game cleanup hadn t run across a save point in about an hour and I died all that progress all that work gone new games have made me soft anywho there s new remake of Children of the Corn did you know about that probably not I don t think a lot of people did which is why we need to talk about it because sometimes it s important to take out the trash so Children of the Corn is another remake of an old film or you can see it as a new Stephen King adaptation so prefacing I haven t seen Children of the Corn I thought I did and I was like oh yeah the one where the kid gets sucked into the wood chipper at the end oh that was two so I ve seen two and three stirring a marathon in the 90s I guess I missed one but hey them s the times so I haven t seen the original haven t read the book I don t know how this Stacks up I just know how this movie Stacks up in terms of its own film and whether or not it s entertaining funny thing this movie wastes no time it it gets to it it s just like this little girl s like you know what adult s gonna die today usually I appreciate it when a film can just get to it and not waste your time but this is the kind of film that gets right to it and still feels like it s wasting your time this movie needed a lot more Intrigue a lot more character development like let s have some time to get to know these people before things just fall apart when I didn t get that in here I was met with that feeling I usually get in Stephen King adaptations which is this would be a much better mini series of some sort it s actually funny enough it felt like a mini series that was cut down to about an hour and a half an hour 45 minute film what you think that s going to look like this is exactly that there were some things in this film where I m like I I can almost see what you were going for there which means it was probably done better in the book and if it wasn t well hey this movie came dangerously close to making sense it was when I was met with those feelings of I m sure there s some sort of allegory of people versus Twitter on here maybe I m just seeing what I want to say I would totally die in this Children of the Corn story wouldn t I that I d be one of the adults they put in the pit and Berry our two leads make the best attempt at giving us something in fact uh the creepy girl Kate Moyer I believe that s her name yep Kate Moyer I felt she did a really good job at playing a creepy girl I would like to see her have a shot at doing that in a movie with a better script for her to work with and this is where I m going to give you a light spot spoiler warning sure I m going to talk about the big CGI thing at the end are you still gonna see this movie you can all I can do is give you my opinion what you do with that opinion that is yours to do with as you will that says life should be but if you are going to see this movie blink twice if you re in trouble right so this little girl in this movie is killing the adults to appease this I don t know this being that she calls He Who Walks you don t really know what it is see a couple times like you know a plant looking hand you might hear a sound maybe you ll see the corn stalks moving you re like oh something s there which works that was any and all Intrigue in this movie was based around that I m like what is this thing what is what s going on then for the climax of this film you see the big evil group corn stock CGI monster and I was like Jaws you should have done the Jaws famously the story of the film Jaws is they couldn t get the shark to look right so Spielberg was like all right we just won t show the shark for most of the movie it worked out better for the films like the textbook case of making lemonade out of lemons that s also applicable to bad CGI if you can t make the CGI look good just don t show the thing because any of the Intrigue I had was wrapped around this monster I thought was kind of cool you never really saw the monster and then you see the monster and any and all we re talking all all all all Intrigue was gone and then it was our lead versus big CGI corn stock monster thing and it was terrible funny enough you ever go on a long drive through ironically farmland or a desert just basically long stretches of flat land and you do it for a while long enough to feel like you re going about 20 miles an hour but you re really going 75 right you re moving fast but it barely feels like you re moving at all that s what this movie feels like a lot of happens very quickly but there s no real attempt at getting the audience to care about the characters or having some narrative thread that weaves it together so it feels like nothing s happening you get glimpses of what looks like could have been a good movie there and it s almost as though the film makes a conscious effort to avoid that the Children of the Corn remake is dog this movie committed not a cardinal sin but the cardinal sin it was just boring alright so Children of the Corn what s your favorite Children of the Corn movie I m not even gonna impress you with a question that implies that you need to watch this and tell me what you thought of this one also favorite Children of the Corn movie Whatever let s just have some fun with it whatever it is whatever you think comment below let me know and

Cocaine Bear

ah allergy season you understand all right cocaine back so cocaine I m gonna give you the actual plot of cocaine back some blow is jettisoned from a plane over a park so these drug Runners are looking for the snow a cop is looking for them for good measure there s a mom looking for her two kids who decided to go gallivanting in the park that day oh very dangerous because yes there is a coked out bear who found the stash and now the bear is on a rampage fish this is the kind of movie that makes me feel like I ve I ve gone mad I ve gone insane you can find my sanity down the precipice of Madness some people coming out of the movie seem to be enjoying it I m glad this movie is ass though this movie had me spending time with these pockets of human characters on their own little arcs and never got me to give a about them you gotta care about the human characters otherwise it doesn t feel like they re any Stakes but maybe we re here to watch the bear tear people apart have some fun Gore comedy with our humans otherwise known as cannon fodder that was even unfulfilling this movie is a dark horror comedy I m saying that going off the trailer because the trailer made it look that way this movie looks like it tried to be that there were quite a few moments in this movie where I was like I get what you were going for I mean in that same way when you re watching baseball you see someone just swing their ass off and miss the ball you re like well you were trying for a home run doesn t mean it happened the thing is for the movie trying to be a horror or Gore comedy it was just never funny Gore can be funny I mean there s a scene in this movie where someone accidentally gets shot in the head accidentally shooting someone in the face can be funny Pulp Fiction is a testament to that I knew something was very wrong early in the film well 20 minutes into the film because I was like oh my God nothing s happening how long would we ve only been here for 20 minutes I thought that was an hour but all in all it felt like Lieutenant Commander Data I know I ve used this comparison before but I don t feel I use it often enough so I m gonna use it again Star Trek the Next Generation Lieutenant Commander Data he would try to do poetry or comedy it just didn t land the pieces were there but it lacked that human element that landed with the audience everyone s like oh God when s this gonna be over that s what it felt like in this movie when someone lost a limb or died and it s clearly constructed in a way that s supposed to make the audience laugh but it doesn t it s almost like it s accidentally Grade B Grade B Gore when purposefully done to be so can be fun fun absolutely when it s accidentally Grade B just comes across a sad plot twist cocaine bear never tried to be funny it would almost make it worse or make it Immortal okay so it s not funny is it scary or intense no to both of those the editing was choppy and clunky as as well one scene that stands out in particular is they re walking and someone s like oh my gosh the bear might be in there remember that body we saw back there and then it does a flashback of them tripping over a body and then flashes here almost felt like the scene where they tripped over her body was cut out and then right before final cut someone s like oh God they mentioned the body we cut out with all right we ll just have this awkward flashback show him trip over about it and go back that works maybe it did maybe it was the best we could do but the movie doesn t now we do get it a movie with a poster like that is not a movie to take too seriously please understand this is not me trying to take a movie too seriously it s just me asking that a movie live up to its own poster this movie s not that fun it s at this point where I m like I m sizing up my writing based on what would land best I m gonna go ahead and go with the probably be a better time if you re well not drunk but on substances that I don t want to get demonetized you know what I m alluding to yeah no it s a party all right so cocaine bear have you seen it what did you think about it do you feel like you ve gone mad as mad as I have or did you like the movie whatever you think comment below let me know and as always if you like what you ve seen here and you want to see more click right here to see more foreign

Creed 3

judging by these last couple weeks alone 2023 is quite a Majors year ridiculous I m cutting that out I might keep it so as the title implies or absolutely clearly states Creed 3 is the third Creed movie directed by Michael B Jordan is actually his directorial debut in this chapter of Adonis Creed s life Adonis Creed is enjoying retirement enjoying the fruits of his labor he s absolutely earned it then an old friend from his past named Dame played by Jonathan major shows up Dame was an up and coming boxer went to prison never got his shot but now he wants that shot let the Friendship the bonding the catching up and the tension commence still gonna talk about him out the gate why because we just talked about Jonathan Majors as Kang also in my Quantum Mania review I said Jonathan Majors was great I just wish the movie around him was better well a week later I got to see that Jonathan majors and Michael B Jordan have great chemistry together also I love the fact that this movie really does make you empathize with Dane dude just wants the shot he never got you totally see why Adonis Creed s like I feel obligated to help him which in turn lays the groundwork and you feel the sense of obligation when things go bad now there was a little bit of the oh why is Rocky not in this movie conversation a little while ago after seeing the movie absolutely Rocky Balboa the character Sylvester Stallone not in this movie but after seeing the movie I want to give the movie credit for that granted and Rocky 3 when Rocky has to get his mojo back you know and he has to take out clever Lang Apollo Creed helps him out it would have been cool to see Rocky come in and help Adonis out but for the character Creed in these Creed movies that would have made it feel like he was still in Rocky s Shadow this is a movie that makes a clear statement without making the statement to the camera I mean just in terms of action and execution makes a statement that Adonis Creed is his own man the Creed movies are not in the shadow of the Rocky movies they still mention the fight between Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed after the fight s done I I m pretty sure I heard that theme that plays at the end of Rocky fights reminds you that it s in the same world absolutely but I felt like Creed 3 made the biggest attempt and success at having Adonis Creed and the Creed movies feel like their own movies and there were a couple of creative choices going into this movie I was just looking okay if this movie is even competently directed Michael B Jordan s fine we ll see more from him but there were a couple of moments where he aims to put his mark on the movies one fight in particular where all the ambience goes down you re just in the ring with the two of them it was a cool moment where they were just in the zone there was nothing else but them there was no crowd music sound effects cheering I will say there are moments of pacing issues in this movie I run into that feeling of things I wanted to know more about that I feel would have been interesting to elaborate on I feel like the movie skips right by it maybe it s a grass is always greener on the other side kind of scenario where I m like well because I didn t see that other stuff I wish I did but the movie would have been four hours so I guess something has to give and I ll be completely honest with you I m kind of having a hard time framing this you know like formulating a way to illustrate my point I m about to say I guess that s the point of it is it s a very subjective preference for me rather than an objective critique on the film for me Adonis Creed s Ark and his journey is most interesting when it s synonymous with his journey through the boxing world the character drama and the boxing in relation to that character is very much interwoven but for most of this movie Adonis Creed s retired so the boxing journey is actually Jonathan Major s character but the personal Journeys with Adonis Creed s characters so there s a separation granted all of it is leading to this big boxing match showdown at the end and I suppose that s a byproduct of telling this story of Adonis Creed s life in this phase of Adonis Creed s life I mean he is retired he s coasting his career is kind of on cruise control he s doing good but problems could arise oh hey the old friend that I feel responsible for and I m gonna the president yup here we go feels like James T Kirk when he was an admiral it s like but I liked you better as the captain just just like that now all my personal Heroes Journey boxing Journey interwoven aside the movie works so that s all you need to know is whether or not it works whether or not the movie s a good time Michael B Jordan and Jonathan Majors make sure that the Chemistry Between the actors the tension between the characters it is all there and it makes for a good time it s a movie about Taking Chances forgiving forgiving others as well as yourself but it s also a movie about taking responsibility I had myself a great time in Creed 3 no alcohol required I will say this last few months been doing really good at working out eating healthier I need to do more all right so Creed Three have you seen it what did you think about it whatever you thought comment below let me know and as always if you like what you ve seen here and you want to see more click right here to say more everyone s talking to Adonis in this movie like they were talking to Rocky in the movie Rocky Balboa like they re not as young as you used to be we got to use your strengths I was like where how the wow how old am I scared me I felt like I had to get my Affairs in order make out a will after I got out of the movie

movie that had a really great song choice for the trailer this song was in my head for about two months foreign so Ant Man and the WASP Quantum manias essentially the new Journey to the Center of the Earth movie that takes place in the MCU he said jokingly but only half the MCU Quantum realm is not bare it s not Baron it s not nothing there s actually a whole civilization down there and Michelle Pfeiffer s character was running and gunning for 30 years while she was down there though a few hours in the quantum realm was five years to us so was she down there for 30 years or was she down there for 30 hours to her I don t know we re on a new adventure Scott Lang s daughter s like hey I whipped up this device I can communicate with the quantum realm in my garage they all get sucked down into the quantum realm Kang is there is going to be a problem and I need to try to get out of there unscathed okay what I liked about this movie is very simple it s the thing we all wanted to be awesome but figured would be awesome because anyone who bets against Jonathan Majors is not playing the odds Jonathan Majors as Kang was epic I don t mind saying he completely made the movie the movie has some fun in there absolutely but it s the basic MCU talking points you have after you see an MCU film he showed up to work and showed up he did not only that a standout MCU villain just in the entirety of the MCU which is great not only for this film but the MCU going forward because it s been like hey who s the new Thanos all right Jonathan Majors as king we saw a glimpse of a variant of him at the end of Loki but we haven t actually seen him one of the things I liked about Jonathan majors in this movie as Kang is he didn t fall into the MCU trap that a lot of other characters in this movie fall into a lot of other characters and a lot of other MCU movies fall into MCU movies in general fall into and that s the clippiness the mcu s overwhelming urge to make every moment a funny moment have everyone have a snarky clippy response like everyone needs to be funny even when it s out of characters not everybody has to be funny have your comic relief character and that s totally fine but when the shit s going down don t compromise it with humor and this movie does do that but not when Kang is on screen when Jonathan Matrix is on screens like everyone like just stand back let him work which was a great call he s engaging as hell he s threatening you know he will follow through on his threats he s a badass villain by any metric also I will say some of the cgis actually really good in terms of setting an atmosphere for a movie that s essentially borrowing from Journey to the Center of the Earth Tron legacy absolutely in here a little bit of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome as well I thought the world visually aesthetically speaking I thought it was fun but some of the fighting I noticed like there s when everything was CGI on screen and CGI things were fighting other CGI things it s like the camera knew how to stay on it because it s well it s not a camera but there are some scenes where live action people are fighting and it s really choppy shaky cam at times couldn t believe it it s like shaky cam is the trend we never want to come back but like all Trends it s coming back and I m seeing more of it again let s not the three acts of this film feel like three different movies sometimes like the First Act was the most interesting we get to this world it s more interesting than I thought it would be and that s because it didn t feel like an MCU movie in terms of the MCU vernacular the way people talk their clippiness it wasn t really there yeah then the ant family gets this McGuffin in which they can all understand everyone which means we can understand everyone and after that a large number of these Quantum realm life forms now talk with that cookie cutter MCU sass has been plaguing the MCU for years things like that make me feel like the mcu s a parody of itself is can we just have that die at Thor 11 Thunder I get it I m not as young as I used to be I m not as connected maybe I have that old man energy going along a young folk that might be watching this do you enjoy that it s actually a real question I am curious like what s the demographic they re going for so the First Act starts out interesting it starts to drop because of that second act is when we get a lot more Kang like that the third Act is batshit I am flipping a coin as to which movie had more going on for the last act just on screen in general this or the last Act of Aquaman it s a lot going on if for Ant Man it feels a little weird to me granted ant man s really the thing that dabbled into the quantum realm because well he s the character with the shrinking Tack and so why not I get it it makes sense but in terms of this Grand scope Adventure it s like Scott Lang Ant Man that was never what I liked about him I like the smaller personal story of the first movie having him come in for a bigger fight as part of an ensemble with the Avengers that was fun that works but this movie was a lot more than Ant Man ever needed to be there are more characters in this movie than there ever have been in an Ant Man movie in terms of protagonist Scott Lang s character the Ant Man vibe that blue collar everyday man who got to be a hero regardless of the odds it gets lost under the weight of this whole enormous story to be fair they come close to capturing something special with Scott Lang s Arc but this isn t horseshoes or grenades close isn t there which is fine if you choose to see the movie how I choose to see the movie which is Kang the Conqueror versus the ant fan so I don t give a this movie worked for me when it was Kang also modox in it it s not a sport spoiler is it everyone like I knew Modoc was in it and I don t have Twitter if I knew about it I feel like most people knew about that if you feel like that s a spoiler if you re a big Modoc fan don t get your hopes up he sucks ass in this movie I ve never been a Modoc Super Fan myself like modoc s one of those characters that s bobbed and weaved in and out or through Marvel stories that I ve known but I was never like oh modoc s badass I need to see Modoc in a movie and if this is Modoc in a movie no one should ever think that he was bad CGI face especially in contrast with like I said the setting looked great so bad Modoc CGI face just looks worse the whole time I was like Modoc is silly at best but worse than that and why is he even here it doesn t need to be here look in the end Ant Man and the WASP Quantum Mania it was all right it had some fun Parts Jonathan Majors as Kang was great made the film entirely I just wish the film he was in as a whole was better I feel like this is a better time if you re drunk yeah no it s a Quantum party alright so Ant Man in the WASP Quantum Mania have you seen it what did you think about it it s a little early for that question it ll only be early for about three days though and then every day after that it s a valid question so whatever you think comment below let me know and as always if you like what you

FEAR

what is this like the 47th movie with the title fear I feel like they come out with a fear every couple years I feel like I should have 2023 fear 2023 movie review in the title of this I don t know if I will we ll see so fear is what happens when January has actually been really enjoyable in terms of entertainment you have that walking on eggshells feeling you re like we re gonna have to pay the pipe or hard for this eventually that is this week a week that looked pretty bone dry I was like what do I watch any meaning yeah sure that one the January horror film that had no press screening where I live me embargo lifted today none of this looks good so this is a low budget horror psychological Thriller film about a group of friends they come to this crickety ass old hotel and this place is making them visualize the fear they re coming increasingly paranoid and then you see the concepts which could have been interesting before the end game bad CGI starts up now out the gate I will say this movie does feel like straight to DVD I say straight to DVD because this feels like a straight to DVD movie before Blu rays were a thing you know 2003 2004 the thing about this movie is the script it s the screenwriting it s the classic case of it feels like friends who are just sitting around they thought of really interesting or cool things that could be in a horror movie we ve all done that with our friends because that s a really fun thing to do with your friends but if you re gonna execute it if you re gonna actually do it you have to take these Concepts and put them in a movie that works or you end up having what this movie is which the horror movie things that are going down are actually cool in concept but we re not looking at concept we re looking at execution the execution right down to how the characters are acting with each other alone which is this dude because a drop of water on his head when he s sleeping he was like I m gonna go into the attic and figure this out or you can call the front desk I mean granted probably wouldn t do you much good in this hotel but at least show the audience you re trying a film s job is to be a tour guide to guide the audience with the characters of the audience can actually buy or believe that the characters are acting and reacting in the way they are in the film now this dude s just kicking open doors in the Attic like hey I m gonna figure this out I m probably gonna run across some really sketchy rating material and some pictures to show the audience what s happening almost like I m in a movie right it just comes across that way there s this weird coveted side plot in the movie tube which to be fair to the film it s never called covid it s just a variance which again on paper makes sense your film is about fear paranoia what can the audience relate to and yeah you re right the audience will be able to watch this and be like what the do you think I want to be taken there for my escapism horror film the audience knows about isolating social distancing and everything the characters in this movie were not doing in this movie TI s character might have the not coveted variant he s in his hotel room his own hotel room alone in bed doors closed we know that is isolating but all the characters in this movie were like all right he s isolated let s say we go get him and throw him into the basement so he can be isolated again I know scared group of people the theme of the entire film is fear and fear makes people act irrationally but I feel like in this case to be like yeah that scares the out of me but he s in his room for the time being so let s just leave him there let s I m so afraid I m not going to go near him the whole virus for the sake of fear and paranoia thing just it just felt awkward and out of place movie was much more interesting when it left that and then went on to focusing on other people s demons like that s where the movie thrived I m using thrived very Loosely when the movie was at its best I m using best Loosely it s when I saw the potential and then yeah at the end there s this weird swirly bad CGI monster thing it just doesn t look good look in the end there were a couple of ways people got dispatched when you actually see the fear going down what they see versus what s actually happening that was actually pretty cool giving credit for credits do if you could have those moments in a script and in a film that worked that complemented it could have had ourselves a pretty badass time here this is a film actually I haven t said this too often I m gonna go ahead and say it now this is a movie I hope gets remade there is something here in the concept the horror element in here it fell flat for me the psychological Thriller elements I actually did like again in concept I walked out of this movie knowing one thing that I m not gonna remember in T minus one day yep already forgot all right so fear you know what any of them any of the movies titled fear doesn t have to be this 2023 one what do you think of fear whatever you think comment below let me know and as always if you like what you ve seen here and you want to see more click right here

M3GAN

all right first movie of 2023 and I m not gonna posture I m not gonna front I was going into this movie like oh okay great I rated PG 13 Blum House horror film in January let s do that with everything that comes with that but however so I m a three again what s up with replacing the letters with numbers really messes with the search algorithm no one s searching for mathrigan they re all searching for Megan whatever so Megan s a film about this little girl who loses her parents in a car accident and her aunt gets custody of her and her aunt works at this tech company and she s like hey we ve developed this AI companion doll this AI friend yeah it s like my buddy kid s sister y all remember you don t doesn t matter that meets AI there you go now she has a friend and from there it s pretty much the plot it s like this movie is a remake of the Child s Play remake that came out a couple years ago however unlike in the case of Child s Play where Brad duriff s voice is inseparable from the character if you don t have Brad Dura voicing Chucky you don t really have the spirit of Child s Play Megan is new Megan can be whatever she wants and this movie was actually really good at having the audience feel about Megan how they should probably feel about their phones always watching always listening everyone in the room should be terrified of that fact and they actually played that up well and I got to say if this is a movie where you re like all right sweet little AI doll robots gonna kill a lot of people and that s gonna be fun this really isn t that kind of movie maybe it s because the movie s PG 13 I do feel like the movie was probably if I found out this movie was filmed to be rated R I wouldn t be the least bit surprised there are a couple of moments where you read the lips of someone you re like that that is not what they said they probably said something that would bring this a little closer to our couple moments like that couple of audio edits where you re like those feel like two different sentences that have been stitched together or someone cut a word out but it s January we gotta get more asses in the states so PG 13 let s cut it back would not be shock if that were the case however if that was the case I d love to see a director s cut if the rated R cut that maybe might have been filmed that long winded tangent brings me back around to my original point is this movie really isn t the whole AI doll kills a lot of people bloodbath that you might think it is it ends up happening at the end it is fun when it happens but it s not the point of the movie but that I feel is when this movie was at its strongest it s when it starts elevating its premise this movie he actually has an incredible message to its core about human connection the dangers of using technology as a parental crutch the emotional developmental skills for a child to get lost in that execution that s something that s far scarier than AI killing people that we may or may not have to deal with in the year 20 50 something because that s something that s very real now I was actually really impressed this film dealt with such heavy subject matter you re actually pretty invested with the emotional state of this child and how Megan s actually bad for the kid on an emotional level the kid thinks Megan is great but kids would think that cake and ice cream for every meal of the day is great so there s that and the last act happens and at times it is silly I mean the movie actually is silly I m not just talking about the fact that Megan stole my dance moves this movie actually does have we ll say some tonal conflict you just want to line up everybody the cast members will be like all right raise your hand who here thinks they re in a comedy who here thinks they re in a serious horror film who here thinks they re in an emotional film about family and human connection yep those are all those are all different hands and something like that doesn t have to feel like it s in three movies just did in this one it just didn t feel like it flowed smoothly also I feel like this movie could have been 15 minutes shorter thereabouts but in the end Megan I had a surprisingly good time with I was getting ready man I was like all right let s go to Megan let s on a bad PG 13 hover wow I actually enjoyed that for completely different reasons than I thought I would it wasn t the horror it wasn t the death it wasn t any Slaughter you see some frankenstitching from other films and their premise but it s a testament that you can do that you can borrow you can actually have the premise of a movie that came out a couple years ago but to your core you can build something that does feel unique I think if they play their cards right this could become a franchise I d actually like to see a Megan too what would the title of that look like mithrigan too but this is the last we saw of Megan the character I d really be bummed out in the end I shockingly had a good time with this one no alcohol required all right so Megan first film of the year have you seen it just came out doubt it but have you seen it or been searching for this review did you type in mathrigan or Megan tell me how that search algorithm is working out whatever you think comment below let me know and as always if you like what you ve seen here and you want to see more click right

The Whale

of Ryan who Darren Aronofsky filmed some light hearted holiday Christmas cheer so the whales directed by Darren Aronofsky Stars Brendan Fraser was written by Samuel D Hunter who wrote the play this film is based off of he s credited for writing the film I don t know if he actually wrote a new screenplay for the film or if Aronofsky just took the script and was like yeah that works this is a script for our movie The Script for the play because there are clips on YouTube of scenes from the play and I m like that is verbatim the film The film s about a man named Charlie who internet says the character is 600 pounds I don t know if they actually give a weight in the film point is he s given a very Grim prognosis from his friend who s a nurse so we decide to try to reconnect with his estranged daughter played by Sadie Singh which it doesn t surprise me that Darren Aronofsky took this on you look at the wrestler the wrestler is about an estranged father and daughter and then the estranged father tries to reconnect with his daughter after he s given a very serious medical prognosis the whale is about an estranged father and daughter and the father tries to reconnect with the daughter after he s given a very serious medical prognosis and let s get it out of the way first let s just do it let s talk about Brandon Fraser because we we heard he crushes it in this film we heard he is a shoe in for an Oscar nomination I do slightly disagree I think he s a shoe in for an Oscar win I need to know that I one thing right was my life but you can say that about Darren Aronofsky films in general the dude knows how to pull performances every one of his films like Noah s the least Aronofsky film of all of them so if you want to leave that one out sure but you look at every other film he s ever done there s a performance in each of those films where you re like that s incredible if I were in Vegas I I d put my bets on Brendan Fraser winning for all you good folks who lost money on that Patty the Baddie fight here s your Mulligan don t take my word for it I m not giving you gambling advice don t do that don t take that I talk about movies on YouTube for a living don t listen to me I m just saying I would make that bet fair in Vegas can you bet on the Oscars in Vegas he is incredible in this film if you had an actor who did less than the work he does the film really wouldn t work as well as it does seems like it yeah no kind of statement but the cast is very small one main actor Brendan Fraser for supporting actors and that s it five supporting actors including Dan the pizza guy but I m telling you it s a very intimate film and one of the things that helps is the fact that you never see the fat suit makeup when you re seeing Brendan Fraser s character I ve seen that on TV other movies you see the fat suit you see the makeup it just kind of takes you out of it that s another Oscar this film might be up for best makeup because it was an incredible job well done and seeing Brendan Fraser give us a performance like this is something special maybe 20 years ago or so he wasn t in the place to pull from that much pain but I see his talent as it s like a treasure like Berry gold and imagine someone panning for gold and they get a few nuggets and they re like oh great that s enough looks like it s tapped but then two feet down or 20 years later however you want to see it there s this huge gold deposit the size of Fort Knox that s Brandon Fraser s Talent we didn t know it was there we thought we d seen it all we thought we d gotten it all he had much more to give now the film in terms of tone is very man um dark yes but the clusterphobic as well it makes sense that it s based off of a play because you re hanging out with this guy in his living room for 99 of the film you look at cost effective stage plays they usually have that one location that the story takes place in so your watches you re like oh yeah this is totally based off of a stage play and that intimate if not claustrophobic feeling is aided by the 4x3 aspect ratio presentation now this film is decidedly Darren Aronofsky and for for my part that excites me it s like Darren Aronofsky Quentin Tarantino Christopher Nolan James Cameron these are all directors that when they come out with something new it feels like an event to me I can only describe it as like it s game day and your favorite team is playing you just have to watch it right now you don t want to wait for TiVo you don t want to record it watch it later you need to watch it right now people still record stuff or is it just on demand now is that what it s called whatever you can t wait to pop in the VHS and watch it later after you adjust the tracking there I said it but also this being a Darren Aronofsky film I can say this phrase this is not for everybody and I ll be right I can say that about every Aronofsky film before and every Darren Aronofsky film he does from now until the end of his career until he retires now this film is not going to be for everybody I ve already seen chatter online where some people find it problematic but I myself I found something very special in here I found a very heartfelt story about pain loss human connection family connection everybody in this film has at least a moment where they just come across as a little rough around the edges some more than others even the super likable people have a couple of moments of dialogue where it s like you re kind of being high and mighty right now but the film also gives context to pain so you see both sides of it you see how they are you see why they are the way they are that s the real magic right there that s the mythical element because that s a luxury we are rarely afforded in life with the people we actually interact with but everyone in this film is dealing with something because everyone in life always is that s just life I feel like this is one of those films you re going to be in one of two camps and that s it it s either uncomfortably unenjoyable or you re gonna find something special with it I think there s a lot of room for in between for some I feel like Brandon Fraser s performance might be the reason to go see it even if you don t generally enjoy the film but that s absolutely fair for some folks out there a Powerhouse performance is enough but honestly it s not just Brendan Fraser I mean what he gives us is truly something special absolutely but Hong Chow in the movie has a couple of scenes where she is bringing it I feel like she s in the conversation for the Oscar as well or should be this is a film with layers and that s something special when I come out of the movie theaters usually you watch a movie and well that s what the movie is and that s what you take home and I word vomit on camera and there you are this is a film I feel like I can peel back over time and enjoy the process of doing so so I myself I buy all of Darren aronofsky s films I say that because yes I feel this film is worth watching and worth buying on Blu ray like I m the guy I I can watch Requiem for a Dream every Friday like I ve said before in my videos in fact I might I might actually watch it that s right while you re watching a Christmas story I ll I ll be watching Requiem for a Dream Merry Christmas all right so the whale have you seen it

The 355

all right thank you once again for clicking on this video that showed my mug in the thumbnail i do appreciate that before we get started i do want to thank the sponsor of this video this video is brought to you by noom noom is a consumer led digital health program but it s more than that new muse is human coaches psychology and science to empower people to take control of their health they take control of their health through healthy eating habits exercise and mindset i appreciate the fact that nume operates with that concept of the symbiotic relationship between the mental and the physical and that s why i jumped on a resounding yes when they wanted to sponsor this video because for the last if you look at the last couple years at least for me the last couple years have been very conducive to a negative mindset and negative habits and i for one i m over it so new year better habits positive mindset i m on this newman journey looking forward to where it takes me both physically and mentally if you want to start that journey for yourself click the link below go to noom com john s get yourself a free new evaluation and seven day trial see where it takes you and thank you once again to noon for sponsoring this video i do appreciate it and now we get to the review because that s kind of what we do here so the 355 is an espionage spy thriller with a great cast but it s that espionage did you see a trailer for that movie where you re like oh that looks interesting and now you re like oh oh the movie came out already i totally forgot about it that s 355 it revolves around a crew of spies or former spies throughout the world there s this device in terms of cyber terrorism this is a super bad device it can manipulate shut down it could basically do anything to anything in the digital world i mean when i say in terms of cyber terrorism it s now the worst digital cyber terrorist device ever devised for cinema so this crew of spies generally speaking led by jessica chastain like we don t know who to trust we don t know if we can trust our agencies but they do feel like they can trust each other so they re going to save the day and yeah the cash in this movie legit cast jessica chastain diane krueger lupita nyong o penelope cruz and this great cast probably adds to the disappointment of the movie the fact that the movie s just okay with a cast like that what i liked about the movie there were a couple moments in here great moments of tension and just the acting among the actors that really sells the tension lupita nyong o in particular was a standout when it comes to that also as much as the movie has fun with his premise and fun with the cast and crew it s not a comedy they don t go for laughs and jokes feels weird to be like that s a positive but in this day and age a lot of movies they do go for the jokes and it kind of takes me out of the movie this movie didn t do that and as much as i will say when it s going down at the end of the movie like the end shootout the last shootout in this movie was actually pretty sweet would have been better if i could see more of it because yes this movie does that shaky cam i shouldn t be too surprised even the matrix does shaky cam now nothing is safe it s not just shaky cam it s the editing also when someone does something as simple as picks up a gun and shoots a few people i don t need a bunch of edits to give me a bunch of different angles with that just frame it up let me see what s going on john wickett or for this female centric film jane wicket if you prefer the terminology i don t care just frame it up well i noticed that was going to be a problem earlier on in the movie when people are chasing people and the camera s doing that i was like oh god i thought we were it s 2022 i thought we were past it the biggest hurdle this movie has to overcome is the fact that it just feels 20 years behind the times it feels 20 years too late it does feel like this aggregate like someone sat down was like hey it d be cool if we had jason bourne action movie in a mission impossible type setting with a new crew a little bit of ocean s 11 thrown in there because it has the flavor of that too and if it was this jason bourne ocean s 11 mission impossible movie that came out when ocean s 11 and jason bourne came out and jason board s born identity you know what i mean it d feel like this cool hybrid of the two like someone saw both the movies was like oh hey let s fuse them great feels new feels like the marriage of cinema i ve wanted for the past year and a half because it s the early 2000s but in 2022 this movie just feels like it s late to the action movie spy thriller party i don t know the story of production for this movie but if i found out that the 355 was written back in the early 2000s and was just sitting on a shelf and got dusted off recently and they decided to make it into a movie finally i wouldn t be surprised not at all and that out of date at the very least late to the party feeling has to do with some of the plot twists too there s some plot twists in here like didn t see that coming digits like i did because i ve seen these movies since you know the 80s 90s 2000s to now yeah it might have been mind blowing back in 1987 it s just not in 2022 i didn t hate the movie like i walked out of the movie going the movie was fine it was okay it was it was fine but there are so many spy thriller movies espionage movies heist movies out there that are so much more than just fine 24 hours in a day this movie s two hours long which it feels a bit longer than that like it didn t at a point i was like this movie has really good pacing because i thought we were in the third act and it was just like oh it s not ending it s still going it s still going it s still ending yeah you know that movie has great time management thing i was just thinking i take it back but a two hour movie is one twelfth of your day am i gonna be like hey you should watch this movie you should take up one twelfth of your day on this movie i can t do that movies like this happen every year at the end of the year in december when i m making my top 10 best top 10 worst list i m scrolling through my reviews seeing what i reviewed i ll run across my review the 355 and it ll be like oh wow totally forgot about that movie would have been better suited to come out in 2003 ish but for 2022 i m just not gonna remember the movie in t minus one day yeah wait what are we talking about all right so the three five five have you seen it what did you think about it did you forget that it was even coming out did you know it was out right now or what s your favorite espionage and or spy thriller whatever it is whatever you think comment below let me

Avatar: The Way Of Water

I m getting this to you a day late a dollar short I don t think so but thank you for your patience I was hanging out with a friend in Vegas he needed to get his mind off of some BS badly and he was like I ve never been to Vegas do you want to go to Vegas I was like dude I got your back let s go to Vegas let s get your mind off of it because that s what friends do friends will have your back even if they miss the pre embargo screening to the first James Cameron film in 13 years now the way of water is out it s time to punch on and do that only monetizable skill I have talk so Avatar the way of water is the sequel to Avatar it s been many years for us many years for them Jake Sully now has a family life is great but the sky people have returned so let the Clash commence also learning the way of water that s that s also a thing in here now let s be honest and address it Avatar it gets a lot of but I was just I ve never been there mentally with the movie I thought Avatar was great in 2009 I ve watched it since then many times I ve watched it recently to brush up for this movie yeah dances with Smurfs don t give a I think it s great I apologize for none of it but it ll be interesting to see how the way of water plays out since the landscape The Cinematic landscape is now different in 2022 than it was in 2009 after watching the movie I can say a couple things one my faith in James Cameron I feel has paid off because I thought I crushed it with this one and two that might actually work out for this movie because it s easy to see big budget movies being this industrial grade Studio cash grab because that s kind of what we see with big budget movies now but I don t think that s the case with the way of water so first of all technologically speaking this movie is Head and Shoulders above anything you ve ever seen in your life so many times I was watching this I was like this is it s easy to forget it s CGI there s actually there s been a couple times I ve met fans and are like dude do you really think Avatar the way of water looks great because I don t think the trailer visually I don t think it looks any better than the previous Avatar movie I just think we ve hit that phase in life where the only way to see the detail and the resolution is to see it on a bigger screen I guess that s pretty smart for 20th century Studios which is Disney let s just be honest about it because I ve watched the trailer on a little screen and I ve watched it on the big screen on the big screen it does look better at first when you re in the forest you re like okay it does look good but I ve seen this before but when they get to the water stuff and they re hanging out the water civilization it s unlike anything you ve ever seen James Cameron in the world of Pandora the Avatar movies they ve always had that they ve always had this this bonds between the people of the world and the animals of the world very Circle of Life thing going on but it s like James Cameron s very conscious of the fact that being in the world of Pandora is part of the fun is part of the charm it s part of the glory of the movie so it gives you more than a few moments of these awe inspiring scenes where it s just like ah let s just have the audience take it in in fact let s have characters taken in too because it does look that incredible this movie does the high frame rate which is essentially doubling the frame rate I don t think it s the only format you can watch the movie and I m sure you can find it in lower frame rate not all projectors can do that point is is something that the first Hobbit movie did and then everyone who saw the movie early was like wow that was weird and then strangely for the next two screenings it wasn t in high frame rate at least not in Seattle maybe it s the Technologies advanced in the subsequent 10 years since but I actually enjoyed it in this movie I thought it worked a lot better for Avatar way of water I thought it was a lot more immersive sometimes to its detriment absolutely couples things in particular I can think of really just one scene where we re in space and it s turning and I m like yeah the camera s turning that looks great yeah it s so immersive my brain is telling me we re spinning and I m kind of getting nauseous also the thing that this movie does really well that a lot of movies that have that time Gap need to do you know when they re dealing with a couple Generations is have both Generations be relevant and have the story used both optimally usually when dealing with that conundrum we re talking about universes and worlds that have been around actively for a while this is just simply the first James Cameron movie since the previous James Cameron movie enough time has passed where now he needs to deal with that because he saw the 12 year gap between Titanic and Avatar and he was like I can beat that 13 years hence here we are but I did think this movie did a great job at using the two generations in the teary Jake Sully and their kids and having them all work you know having them all optimized I felt like natiri did get a little more sidelined in this movie than she was in the previous movie she was a huge part of the previous movie but it more revolves around Jake and the fact that he is this leader but now he s also a parent in the previous movie Jake was like oh yeah I m a military leader last Shadow baby it s fine I ll help them all fight but now he s like I don t want my kids to get hurt and die in fighting so I m going about it differently but then his kids are like we want to fight we want to help so they re going on their Quest I would say the kids are actually in the Forefront in here it is building the story I mean there s like six planned Avatar sequels they re definitely going to stick around and become more prominent as time goes on this was the film where we had to give a about them and I thought James Cameron a good job with that I mean there were a couple of intense scenes where I was like see this is why I like Avatar they re not just nine foot tall Smurfs there s Peril happening that that dude s in danger and I care there was a bit of familiarity in a couple scenes um just in the fact that when I was sitting down to watch this movie I remember thinking this is going to feel so different than the first movie because a huge part of the first movie was Jake Sully training to be a navi and then he becomes one of the people and that s the plot of the movie and to my surprise it s called way of water so it shouldn t have been too surprised but in its execution Jake and his family are hanging out with this Navi civilization that s very water based their bodies have evolved to use water in their culture and their civilization as the navi we saw in the previous film evolved to use the forest all of it seems really well thought out and executed with passion so that sense of learning a new culture is actually in this movie as well it s just there s no flip like that in the first one where it s like oh man I guess these folks aren t so bad I m gonna help them no they re always the good guys this is good guys hanging out with good guys they re there s a bit of that High School tension though and I do want to give props to composer Simon Franklin for stepping in after the late great James Horner passed away some big shoes to fill and to be fair there were a couple of moments where a track was either reused or it was just recomposed for this movie but it s the same track from the first movie like that song when home tree gets bombed his home tree s down all the navi are crying and they re freaking out and you know that that tune that s very memorable from the first movie that same song plays in this movie I was like are you just reusing tracks just gonna reuse it but this sounds like a James Cameron call to me not a Simon Franklin call I want to give props to Simon Franklin because music is very important in the world of Pandora and I felt he did a great job recapturing it the movie s a little over three hours long which is pretty lengthy but I feel like he does it s an earned run time it does make me think like wait is there James Cameron always has director s Cuts is there a directors because they re going to be a special edition of this do you have a four hour cut of way of water we ll see I guess and in the end I gotta say Avatar the way of water is proof that if you re playing the odds you never bet against James Cameron honestly if you didn t like the previous Avatar movie I don t think this is gonna win you over but for fans of Avatar I think a way of water is going to be a great next chapter once again Pandora is a world in a movie that you re not just watching in a movie you re living it James Cameron s a director that gets that 2022 comic book movie MCU budget but he uses it to keep that old school movie going experience alive his movies feel like passion projects still it s actually a very unique movie going experience James Cameron films he s a guy who does his own thing wants to entertain the living out of people and does it in a way where you re like yeah movies used to feel like this and it s really awesome to see in 2022 maybe eventually Avatar is going to feel that way it s going to feel like that studio cash grab like I said there are a few Avatar sequels planned out I d be shocked if he does all of them and if they re successful enough they re going to have spin offs and Disney plus series there might eventually come a time where it just feels like soulless nonsense but that time is not today I felt Avatar the way of water was a memorable experience in 2022 the visuals look unreal it has a classic storytelling Spirit about family at the center and the last 45 minutes of this film is a satisfying action spectacle Avatar the way of water is awesome tacular it s like this I was actually going to give it bite on Blu ray and I just remembered I m a grumpy old now I just want to kick my feet back and enjoy the out of this so there you have it all right so Avatar the way of water have you seen it what did you think about it or

Violet Knight s new Christmas film new Christmas classic well that s up to you but it s pretty much the chatter that you ve heard unless you ve never heard of it in which case glad to introduce you but the chatter online that I ve heard is this is Die Hard meets home alone with Santa Claus die hard yes home alone so sprinkled in there and there s a scene but it s not like the brick and mortar of the film Die Hard yes that s in line which means it s a pretty easy description it s Christmas Eve John Leguizamo and his crew of Bandits they infiltrate this Mansion because they want all the money that s in the vault and that is right when Santa who s making his rounds that night because his Christmas Eve ends up at that house and so he s pretty much the John McLean just funny because the movie makes references to die hard and home alone it s very it s very self aware and it being called violent night and the poster being that well you know Santa s about to beat some ass now David Harbor as Santa Claus is incredible in this film I first saw the trailer at cinemacon and I was like I need to watch that movie right now but he s a vulnerable sanity he s been doing this a while he s starting to question what s it all for I mean people are getting shittier I don t think the movie actually expressly says that specifically but we re just being real here right so this movie amazingly uses this Santa in a rut premise as Santa finding Redemption finding a renewed sense of purpose of Christmas like David Harbor as action movie Santa Claus is exactly how it is in this movie is exactly how he is you think of David Harbor Santa in a rut Action Hero Santa Claus time for some Seasons beatings Santa Claus is coming to town I gotta watch yep but it s more than that it s more than just guy in a Santa suit because that s what it would have felt like it would have felt like oh a guy in a Santa suit if it was just David Harbor in a Santa suit kicking ass the movie takes strides to illustrate that this is Santa Claus you know what feels like a Christmas movie I m not talking about the goons in this movie having Christmas code names I mean that s fun and all I m talking about Christmas themes and Christmas music being woven into the musical score the connection between Santa Claus and this little girl is one of the hostages in this house I thought that was that was a huge amount of heart in this film I didn t expect to be there we didn t give me those heartfelt arcs in a film that I didn t think were going to be there I mean that s always a plus also it being in a Christmas movie to make it feel like a Christmas movie that s even better also they do some really cool things with Santa lore and here you get a bit of backstory so you can buy the fact that this Santa Claus is actually able to kick ass and it makes sense and little details the devil s in the details when it comes to lore like Santa Claus having to go to the chimney and touch his nose to go up the chimney I was like well that s how it is in the story yeah I didn t have to do that but I just appreciate these little details where you can tell someone s like no it s important that he touches his nose there were some characters in this movie that felt cartoony it s almost a growing epidemic I almost understand why because really in terms of the hostages in terms of the people who are in this Mansion it s the little girl and a crew of who gives a little girl stole the show when it comes to the hostages I think it s because she s the reason Santa actually stuck around to help she builds a bond with Santa Claus but no one else did so it s like if it was just a little girl this one hostage and there was nobody else Santa would have still stuck around on the other hand if the little girl wasn t there and it was just a crew of adults these bickering family members um I don t know that Santa would have stuck around so there s that either case she s clearly the valuable one for the heart and soul of the film and everyone else is just kind of there also yeah I feel like the movie goes on for 10 minutes or so too long I m ballparker but I feel like this whole new crew gets brought into this movie just so Santa had more people to bludgeon and kill on one hand fun when it s happening pacing wise movie could have been shorter but in the end I absurdly enjoyed myself with this movie I actually feel to its core it does maintain the spirit of a Christmas themed movie it has the Christmas spirit alive live here also a lot of bloody death too I had a great time no alcohol required I ll be honest with you I enjoyed this movie I m totally down for a prequel and or a sequel I want to see more from this world I want to see more of the David Harbor Santa Claus all right so violent night have you seen it what did you think about it what s your favorite Christmas movie of all time sure I ask you that every December whatever you think comment below let me know and as always if you like

one or two prints or 38 off of three or more prints that is for a limited time though so act fast thank you once again to display it for sponsoring this video I do appreciate it and now let s talk about a movie which is the epitome of the phrase I m not crying you re crying so black panther wakanda forever is the newest film in the MCU the sequel to Black Panther and is a film that took on a seemingly impossible task in which the real life tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman has worked into the script of this movie in which King t challa has passed and while this tragedy has befallen wakanda a new character named Neymar or no more I know internet s like his name is Neymar they call him no more in the movie but in the movie some people call him Neymar some call him no more I appreciate people like me who d suck with names there s no way we can mispronounce it that s nice but he s from a super secret underwater civilization that s legally not Atlantis though in the comic books it s Atlantis but they can t say that point is it s a civilization of blue people who live in water as part of the MCU not the other property that Disney also owns and now they re having conflict with wakanda emotions are high tensions are high which before I get to what really carried the film for me I m going to talk about it s basically I m going to treat this like a dish I m going to start on the outside and just work my way in so I thought Neymar was a good villain I say that to say that to address it because it s an MCU villain you know it s usually that s the caveat where it s like yeah so weak part the MCU villain but there s definitely a conscious effort to make Namor part of the plot you know make them a very big piece of this story also early on in the movie when the troops do the first attack I was like oh these guys are scary I chalked that one up to the musical score as well the music in this movie I thought it was great it was exciting when it needs to be also Eerie when it needs to be they were almost like specters the film does a good job but early on getting your fight or flight senses going at the presence of them also the performances the performances are great all around but you do have your standouts like Angela Bassett couple of scenes in particular I was like she she has never lost it we all knew that yeah one scene in particular it was just it was a very emotionally heart wrenching monologue and when this film has the characters give these emotional moments because of the passing of King t challa it it s very clear or rather I should say it s unclear as to whether or not you re seeing the character grieve or the actor grieve but not in a way that compromised it in a way that enhanced the experience it s not like you re sitting there going oh I see the actor rather than the character but in a very real way where you feel The Grieving through the screen but really it sure is emotional story her emotional Journey that is the core of this film that s when I was most engaged right there in fact early on in this film there was a moment where it establishes that a fulcrum in here is shuri s scientific mind and her spiritual pain are conflicting or at the very least there s friction among those two parts of her and I was like I m in this is I think we ve hit Peak MCU existential crisis let s go and then the movie s like yeah but we are the MCU so we ll Circle back around to that in about two hours it much the same way I ll Circle back around to Leticia Wright and how she s a complete and total Legend in this film uh but first I mean I d love to say everything worked but not everything did because as I was so invested in this emotional Journey this emotional quest in this film we then go and hang out with side characters Martin Freeman s brought into this movie again there s another side character a new character that s brought into it anytime I m hanging out with these characters I m like I I don t think this movie had to be two hours 40 minutes long it s like you can t Phantom edit them out because they are woven into the plot but when I m hanging out with these characters I was thinking a couple of script revisions I think could have streamlined a couple of Concepts we could have saved ourselves some time also as much as I like the not atlanteans legally speaking Yeah when they first show up like I said it was super scary because the musical score is really aiding in that and it was a new civilization with a new technology that s generally speaking new for this world but after that when you start getting to know the civilization I didn t feel the film hammered home the fact that this civilization is as technologically Superior and threatening as the film is telling me they re supposed to be like wakanda s wakanda well established they re technologically speaking ahead of everybody it s not even close and this not Atlantis civilization is supposed to feel like they are a threat to wakanda but if you re looking at them their Tech their numbers you re like I think wakanda could still kick their ass fine it s like I woke up in a world where wakanda just only had one aircraft ever in the entire place but the movie said they re a big threat so you know I guess they re a big threat for this film so more falls on Neymar like he s the one who is the threat and I do also appreciate the fact that director Ryan coogler doesn t make this movie you know MCU comedy to the point of a parody couple of humorous moments yeah mostly from umbaku because Winston Duke is a legend as well he s just one of those dudes that on screen can say a line it s like well now this is your scene you did that he has that super power mbaku isn t used as much in this film as he was the previous film but what he is used it is gold never felt like I was watching an MCU comedy slash parody I really appreciate that but in the end all in all I thought the film was solid I give all the props in the world to Ryan coogler for pulling that off the entire cast for pulling that off and I Gotta Give special love to Leticia Wright she stepped up to a plate I don t think she ever really signed on to step up to Chadwick Boseman tragically passes then she s told she s going from support character to emotional focal point of the entire next film I can t imagine the pressure of that and she carried it she was what made this film at its best when it was at its best it was because we were following her her emotional Journey her story when I had the feels she was there when I started getting the man tears she was there her emotional quest in this film is absolutely what made it for me I ll say I had myself a great time with this one no alcohol required all right so black panther wakanda forever I know it comes out in a few days I feel like asking you have you seen it what did you think about it it s a little you know Hasty but after this Thursday it s a totally applicable question so have you seen it what did you think about it whatever you thought comment below let me know and as always if you like what you ve seen here and you want to see more click right here to see more

appreciate it and now a video game to movie adaptations those are always always a sure thing foreign is a film adaptation of the Beloved video game franchise Uncharted the Uncharted games are one of those scenarios where the games get a lot of praise and they re absolutely deserving of all that praise the one caveat the thing I can say is the first game shows a bit of its age other than that so in this film adaptation we have Tom Holland as Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg is Sully okay come on and this is the story of how they meet though we saw a glimpse of that in the third game and now they re on their first adventure together to find the lost gold of Magellan as a fan of the games let s go into this movie like okay it s not gonna be as good as the games but you know maybe we can have some fun and some fun is in here but as for the casting Tom Holland is Nathan Drake it s I I never fully bought him as Nathan Drake even Young Nathan Drake I love Tom Holland as much as the next person I think he s great but he never felt like someone out there was like oh Tom Holland because we found the best Nathan Drake possible it felt like right Tom Holland s a superstar and it was before Spider Man no way home owned face in the box office all right Tom Holland great we have him in the movie fantastic and then it feels like the rest of the movie was molded around that one casting decision don t know I wasn t in the room just telling you how it feels it feels like all right Tom Holland great he s a bit young all right we ll just make everyone young and we ll make it an origin story a prequel not really because it s not really a link to the games it s just kind of an origin story all right we ll have young Chloe Frazier and younger Sully in which my counter argument would be well the characters in The Uncharted series are far more interesting when they re in their 30s than their 20s I mean seeing it as an origin story I don t know that Tom Holland Nathan Drake would grow to be this person this character who has the big biggest body count of any video game character on Earth but no Tom Holland Drake would snap a neck I snapped a lot of necks in those games Mark Wahlberg being cast as Sully was absolutely proof that the Dare program was a failure because someone out there was high as when they made that call having a young Sully sure Mark Wahlberg doesn t look like Sully sound like Sully or act like Sully I mean it d be like okay going down there without some Firepower go talk to that Rudd Merchant we just passed got me guns bullets and he s not really a rug merchant Ah that s what I m talking about I will say one of the standouts in this movie was Antonio Banderas he captures the spirit of what an Uncharted villain would be he s not based on an Uncharted villain that came before him but you look at this guy you re like you would be an Uncharted villain I thought Antonio Banderas in this movie was great as for the action in this movie entertaining yes plausible no ridiculous yep CGI of course but there was entertainment there the best action sequence in this movie I think is a scene on the plane but it was also awesome in the game and better in the game so I ll just play it in the game and that s what this movie runs into it s the point I brought up in my review of the new Resident Evil movie and the point I brought up was a lot of these video games these days fulfill that cinematic experience in fact more so and better than a movie can because you are playing through it you re not just watching it you re a part of it so having a video game to film adaptation for these action games isn t as necessary as it once was being in the plane when it all starts going to and the back opens up and cargo and people just start getting blown out the back including you while you are a part of it experiencing it is way more intense than Tom Holland doing it on a green screen I will say this on the plane there s this thing that happens in the plane where I was like well the movie is just fundamentally worse now luckily not long after that you re in the last Act of the movie in which this movie goes balls crazy ridiculous it s like it doesn t even care it s like yeah you re looking for plausibility out of here with that we are just cgiing the most impossible past implausible zero given CGI action Fest you could possibly think of and they commit to it credit to that I can t say I didn t have fun with that ridiculous just in a world where Uncharted is a tent pull franchise of action games I think of quintessential game franchise of action adventure exploring I will mentally go to Uncharted this movie is fine but pretty indistinguishable from any other Adventure Movie out there think of an adventure movie where people explore and they re looking for a treasure this and that not one of the ones that really stands out where you re like whoa that was surprisingly good but one of the ones where you re like okay that happens another one of those this Uncharted movie doesn t feel much different than those you remember that fan film that Uncharted fan film that had Nathan Fillion as Nathan Drake that feels more like Uncharted than this Uncharted movie this Uncharted movie feels like Muppet Babies like the Muppet Babies version of Uncharted you know where you have the grown up adult or otherwise seasoned versions of the characters and then because well it s cool to show younger versions of those characters will you make that too okay again don t hate this Uncharted movie but if you go into this movie as an Uncharted fan I feel like you re going to find it lacking who knows maybe it ll be a better time if you re drunk yeah this is the hardware I was talking about anyhow the Uncharted movie have you seen it what did you think about it whatever you thought comment below let me know and as always if you like what you ve seen here and you want to see more click right here to see more

be surprised at what you re paying for that you forgot you were paying for that you haven t used for like two presidential terms thank you once again to truebill for sponsoring this video i do appreciate it and now i rip myself away from the final fantasy 6 pixel remastered remaster i ve been looking forward to for quite some time and i do it to talk about garbage why because that could be fun too i guess so texas chainsaw massacre is a sequel to the texas chainsaw massacre sans and it s one of those movies that s a new sequel that rat cons everything except the original movie so retcons all the other sequels which i m pretty sure was exactly what that movie texas chainsaw 3d did because if at first you don t succeed keep making garbage the rule of hollywood this is the worst mulligan ever it literally feels like you only have two lanes all right mulligan and now i have one land i how did i get worse that s what this movie feels like to be fair i haven t seen texas chainsaw 3d since it was in theaters i saw it the once which is probably how often i m going to watch texas chainsaw massacre so getting into the plot of this movie after i ve just bitched about it for this long there s a group of young people these young entrepreneurial types these gen zers who all go to this ghost town they re like hey we ll buy it and auction it off and bring life into it i guess or create a cult compound somewhere in the middle of nowhere i don t know the point is that s what they want to do turns out leatherface is there and he gets really pissed then something else happens in the movie that really makes leatherface mad now leatherface goes on his killing spring up against a bunch of characters you don t care about so you re kind of rooting for leatherface to kill people and in that this movie does have a couple scenes where i was like oh that s a nice bloodbath let s do it the blood the slaughter you know you re kind of there at that point and that can work i ve experienced movies where i was like yeah i m just kind of rooting for the bad guy to kill people that s fine that s what happens when i watch final destination movies i m waiting for this fatalistic death just to weed these people out or saw i m like you go jigsaw that s why i m here like example there s a scene in a bus where just this massacre is happening you re like okay i could kind of get into this your lizard brain kicks on you re like sure it s just oozing and dripping with carnage good enough right but then that other part of your brain kicks on that average human being brain kicks on and you re like wait wait wait wait because leatherface has the most silent chainsaw ever in this movie yeah the cool thing about leatherface or chainsaws in general in movies when they re used as massacre equipment is that they have that that rumble sound and you know it s coming after you it s scary you re like oh gotta be quiet gotta be quieter than the chainsaw in this movie when it s idle because it makes no sound whatsoever it just goes from nothing silent to so silent in fact that when the chainsaw is on but idle people are trying to creep away like we gotta open this window it s all leather faces like what was that that i just heard over my idle chainsaw that s making no sound on screen it wasn t an electric chainsaw it did make idle gas powered sounds intermittently throughout the movie just sometimes it made it sometimes it didn t you know when making this movie someone was like how would leatherface hear the slight window creak open over the chainsaw do you think anyone s gonna notice that no not at all it s only the internet and social media no one s gonna catch that and point it out forever well i wouldn t say forever because no one s gonna remember this movie no that s not the writing i m not writing it up yet i m still going i have things to say you want to talk about unrealistic there s a scene in this movie where someone gets straight up to someone gets the chainsaw the full brunt of it someone gets the mkx through the gut lifted into the air it just revs the chainsaw ass and blood just falling on leatherface and then later on far after this person should have died because they should have died right then and there the person s alive long enough to pop a shot at leatherface then dies i was like well it s official texas chainsaw massacre is it s a ghost movie because that person was not alive the big thing this movie does it takes inspiration from the 2018 halloween movie you know 2018 halloween movie was the sequel that was a retcon of all the other sequels retconned everything except the original movie and it had the survivor of the original movie come back to face the monster and that s what this movie does it has the character sally the survivor of the original texas chainsaw massacre movie to come and face the monster in a way that s just anti climactic and sucks lurie strode in 2018 halloween she s the main point this movie sally just kind of seems like an afterthought thrown into this movie briefly and for no reason whatsoever like if she wasn t in the movie at all movie would be no different i really mean that actually that s really sad when you say it out loud but that s true she wasn t in the movie the movie just wouldn t change at all except for like one scene where she comes in she s like run at a point the movie ends with zero payoff whatsoever and go okay i watched that could have done anything else with my time that s really why i m doing this video because i watched it i was like if i m not making a video about this i m getting that time back plus i m spending more time talking about it but you know i ll at least use my experience watching this movie to keep the channel machine turning there s no way i wasn t going to talk about this movie i have to make it worth it somehow and if for nothing else i m letting you know you definitely shouldn t you should not that makes it all worth it my friends use my pain to your advantage oh god i forgot about this but i have to touch on i have to talk about it because it s in the movie again for no real reason now this could have worked out they could have used this for something in the movie they just don t there s these brief flashback moments in this movie like really brief you know at the end of joker where joker s sitting there and he goes i just thought of a joke and it really briefly shows bruce wayne and his dead parents the flashback scenes are that quick but they re there to show you that at least one of the characters in this movie is a survivor of a school shooting yeah it s in here for character development i guess doesn t really lead to anything it s just kind of there at best it s really awkward at worst it s just another part of texas jade s on massacre in the end texas chainsaw massagers it s proof that they should just stop trying to do this i feel like texas chainsaw massacres kind of like terminator someone out there has it in their mind where they re like no no this is a franchise we should really keep going with this it s like nah i think the best years are behind us just let it go i have come to tell you that texas chainsaw massacre it sawed off dog sorry i was out of town on vacay relaxing would have gotten you this video last weekend um but i didn t to anyone

The Munsters

do not ask me why because I won t have an answer for you I won t have a good answer anyway in a world where hundreds of movies all the film that comes out in the course of a year I do videos on a fraction of them today I m doing a video on this I I gotta admit though with the trailer came out I was like that looks awful I have to so the monsters is written and directed by Rob Zombie who s usually known for his horror Gore Fest he has his dedicated fan base no doubt but generally speaking people seem to agree that his horror movies are passable in the way your dogs bark when you re filming and that I have a lot of friends over and we got chips and popcorn and drinks and it s the month of October we re gonna watch some Horror oh Rob Zombie film right and it seems Rob Zombie so loves the monsters that he was like I m gonna make a rated PG family comedy it s unexpected now the trailer was terrible I don t know how else to say it the movie lived up to the trailer but the trailer did the film no favors okay but it seems the world heard the cries of the internet thus this Rob Zombie Monsters movie was dumped on Netflix Financial calls like this are are why people question Netflix maybe they were banking on that morbid curiosity factor which admittedly got me I mean here I am I watched it and I m doing a video on it optimistically I will say there is potential in the world of this monster s movie they all live in Transylvania which kind of reminds me of the Beetlejuice cartoon you re gonna hear the premise and then maybe you can just take that information and allocate it to whatever entertainment you watched that wasn t the Beetlejuice animation you re not as old as I am possibly but you know that ghoulishly endearing world it s a whole Monster World they have their economy then they step into our world and they find our world as weird and scary as we find them the movie is essentially three films in one you have your romantic comedy of Herman Munster and Lily getting together then there s a real estate scam then they buy a house in the real world there s a lot going on in this movie like far more than you would think and I don t think it s going to entertain children as much as Rob Zombie probably wants it to which is funny because Grandpa Munster which I guess his father in law monster because not all the monsters are here it being a prequel backstory reimagining Eddie Munster and Marilyn Munster they re not here it s just these three monsters hanging out but he keeps banging on bad comedy in this movie and I I couldn t help but think that s either unironically an amazingly self aware series of moments or ironically the movie s just not self aware at all the movie has a color palette that could be fun for kids but the camera works just nauseating it does that Rob Zombie Thing where it s zooming in and out and twisting and turning you could talk about how it represents the off world off mindset of the monsters like they re from a different plane of existence but it was also annoying in execution that s the thing about this movie there are a lot of Concepts I m like I get what you were going for but it did not work for this there s a camp and cheese factor in this movie that you can tell is a conscious effort to throw back to the camp and cheese factor of a sitcom from the 1960s it s like a state through my dead glass what an execution This Love Letter fell flat I mean Rob Zombie wrote the movie my first thought was well is he a good comedic writer I know it s a lot of dad jokes and puns there s some play on a situation that I appreciated but again you have to execute it with better comedic timing a lot of it came across as an unfunny SNL sketch or a modern SNL sketch take your pick the two are the same and that comes down to one the writing to the directing and three the casting I get that Rob Zombie s kind of found his crew he likes to work with I don t mean to single out Sherry Moon Zombie and it s not for the sake of being a dick what I m saying is this film required a lot more from her than the rest of the cast She s inexperienced at leading a comedy so it comes across as awkward I ve never cared that Rob Zombie casts her in all of his movies in fact for the two of them I m sure is pretty cool to make horror movies with the person you love and share your life with it s kind of romantic in a way but when you switch gears in switching the genre over to Comedy both her and Rob Zombie should have known that she wasn t up to the task granted she wasn t up to the task any more than Rob Zombie was up to the task of making a family comedy but either of them are or both should have known that the comedic timings off in terms of the writing and the editing as well the costumes oh my God this movie looked like Spirit Halloween store they were like hey let s just go into the dead corpse and the bones of an old Toys R Us and buy some costumes it looked like costumes to such a degree that there s a scene where they re at this party in this neighborhood this neighborhood s just having a costume Rave for some reason I don t know it seems like it probably was like why didn t I grow up there but these are people in costumes and it looks indistinguishable from the other costumes previously in the movie that are supposed to be actual monsters shout out to Tomas Boykin as Lester first of all the entire makeup budget went to him because that s the best makeup in the movie it has easily not just by a margin by a clear mile the best screen presence and the biggest screen presence in this entire thing and when talking about movies like this when I m doing my videos I like to come at it from different angles like okay didn t land for me who s it made for well kids obviously kind of no it s a rated PG family comedy it s definitely made for kids but I don t don t see kids laughing at the jokes in here kids don t care about who John Wayne is there s a John Wayne like they don t care they just can t help but think if the poor parents are going to be like oh my God it s on for the kids and the kids are going to be like why is my dad watching this in the end I know Rob Zombie loves the monsters I mean one of his big hits is Dragula a reference to the monsters but this Monster s love letter was more akin to Freddy Got Fingered where you can tell Tom Green was like dude I got all this money for a movie and I m just gonna make and the Studio s just gonna have to deal with the fact that they gave me this money and that s kind of funny to me so the movie always came across to me anyway I feel like Rob Zombie either did that or this movie s allegory if not a warning where it s like if you take all the offensive comedy out of the world this is the only kind of Comedy that you re gonna have be warned maybe that s what he s trying to say I don t know and I posted a YouTube short about this movie but the story in the YouTube short is true it was midnight I was like oh hey it dropped and I was watching it I was like this has been going on forever and I paused it it was 55 minutes into the movie which is right around the halfway mark it s right there which is another gripe about this movie this movie is way too long hour and a half Max hours 20 minutes would have been better but I was like we re 55 minutes in and watching the rest of the movies another 55 minutes that is the same as pressing start from the beginning and doing everything we ve already done all over again that was a horrendous thought so I just turned it off and went to bed finished it today so now I get you this video but it s one of those case and point things I I felt like it was that horrible that I went to bed so obviously sorry Rob Zombie this movie is dog love Hillbilly Deluxe though all right so the monsters by Rob Zombie it s on Netflix now have you seen it what did you think about it did you see it that s a real question but if you did curious to know your thoughts whatever you thought comment below let me know and as always if you like what you ve seen here and you want to see more click right here to see more
