Weird: The Al Yankovic Story

What I expected was a comical story about a man who wrote humorous parodies of famous songs but what I got was so much more. This biography detailing the life of Weird Al told a story of triumph, the highs, lows, and troubles that one man faced pursuing his dreams or something like that.

Barbarian

Only seeing the trailer, I didn’t really know what the film was going to entail. I really enjoyed the first 2 acts, but the final act didn’t blow me away. There was some good camera work, a touch of humor, and some creepy atmosphere. Overall, a good film although I won’t be rushing out for repeat viewing anytime soon.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

Quite a disappointing follow up to a great trilogy. I’m sure the actors and sfx team put their work in but it doesn’t save this film. The plot felt flat, the pacing uneven which led to a relatively bland and lengthy viewing experience. Maybe the next film will help redeem the series but I for one won’t be chomping at the bit for it.

Godzilla Minus One

Much better than any of the recent Godzilla movies that I have seen. Great destruction scenes, interesting plot, good sfx. Some of the blatant foreshadowing was unnecessary and predictable but it was a great choice for a theater viewing.

Nope

Another winner from Jordan Peele. I avoided any spoilers and it was worth it. That being said, I’m leaving this review vague.

The Flash

It was good to see Keaton back as Batman. The CGI was distracting due to entire scenes from action to characters looking so animated and unrealistic. It was tolerable watch but surely wasn’t anything special.

Sound of Freedom

I went to see this with friends as their movie choice and didn’t look into or hear anything about it other than the basic plot. Without looking into any controversy around it, I thought the film was good. I’m sure it’s a typical Hollywood version of a true story with stretches of truth but it was well acted.

Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain

I’m probably being a bit generous on the rating, I don’t know. The humor was hit or miss, parts I laughed out loud at and others were a bit cringey but overall it was an entertaining watch.

Old Dads

Not much if anything really worked for me in this film.

Pet Sematary: Bloodlines

Easily the worst entry in the franchise. Plot line is garbage, added new rules and neglected others. Character motivations were nonsensical. I should have skipped this one altogether.

No Hard Feelings

The plot is pretty much a paint by numbers of the genre but the comedy worked well and that’s really the main reason I watched the film.

Street Fighter

There are few decent things in this film, those would be Raul, and few jokes worth a quick laugh. But in the end, this film borders on so bad it’s good but even falls short in that category. It’s mostly just a bland plot, bad acting, and features cheese ball versions of the characters from the famous game franchise. Zangief offers the best advice “Quick, change the channel.”

Fright Night

This was a childhood favorite. Rewatching today, I still very much enjoyed it. They don’t make horror films like they did in the 80’s. Miss those old school special effects, music, and all around fun.

You People

Perhaps I’m a bit ignorant in my closeted life, but I feel this subject matter is a bit dated or not accurate to todays world. None of the characters really had much on screen chemistry and it all felt very generic.

Dumb Money

Pretty average film all around. My expectations may have been a bit higher considering the cast involved but it was just ok.

Quiz Lady

The plot is rather formulaic and predictable but the film manages to find some humor and heart making it an easy but enjoyable watch.

There's Something About Mary

Although much of the characters are creepers, there are some pretty funny gags. It’s not an amazing movie but I still find it pretty easy to watch with some decent amount of laughs.

The Fan

I’m probably being generous with my rating but it has a good cast and I like baseball. Still get a kick out of the Coop reveal of them being little league teammates. Otherwise, this movie is pretty far from realistic. Kept thinking about how is he able to get locker room phone numbers, know all the player hangouts, finding their homes ect.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

A fun sequel, very close to matching the enjoyment of the first one.

Hot Rod

One of the best ridiculous movies out there. So many scenes from this movie live rent free in my head.

Marcel the Shell with Shoes On

Looks like I’m in the minority on this one. It was ok, started off a bit on the cute side but it really wore its welcome out quickly with a story that didn’t pull me in.

Hiruko the Goblin

This was a good time. The plot was confusing but the creatures, contraptions, and visuals in general sure made a fun experience.

House

So this movie really doesn’t make a lot of sense, but I love it anyways. Maybe it’s the nostalgia from my childhood, but I enjoy this one every time I watch it. Despite the messy plot, the creatures and characters are a lot of fun.

The 'Burbs

This is one of those movies I loved as a kid growing up in the 80’s. Still holds up well in my opinion. Great cast and fun story.

From Dusk Till Dawn

This is one of my favorites, it’s like two films in one. There is so many great lines of dialogue throughout and the cast is top notch particularly George Clooney and Harvey Keitel.

DeepStar Six

Effects are pretty good for 1989, but the plot line/story is pretty basic and tad dull.  Most the misfortune can all be traced back to Miguel Ferrer’s character Snyder as he makes every bad decision possible and could be considered the films villain than the monster itself.

Poor Things

Aside from the visuals and some of the performances, I didn’t enjoy the film. The story did not pull at my interest and was slow moving.

The Brood

My second time watching this one, hoping I would like it more this time but unfortunately it’s still just ok for me. It just doesn’t pull my attention in well.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas

I was bored through most of it. Won’t be making the holiday film rotation for me.

Nightmare Cinema

I’ve seen worse but that doesn’t make this one any good. The first segment was ok but it was all downhill from there. Mostly a bore throughout and wrapped up into a nice pointless ending. I’d recommend skipping this one.
