Scream (1996)
7/10
Hard to pin this movie
17 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is a 5/10 and an 8/10 at the same time. Some of the things don't make sense, but at the same time it's clever. It's original and smart, but dumb and tropey at the same time.

The killer gets his butt kicked all throughout the movie and honestly you could play part of Scary Movie and Scream back to back and you would not be able to tell which scene came from which movie.

I thought from the beginning that the boyfriend was the killer but then when he gets arrested and she gets a phone call from the killer that did throw me but the boyfriend continues to be suspicious the entire time.

The beginning of the movie is strange too, having drew barrymore be in the movie just to kill her off at the beginning was definitely a big expectation subversion. The star lady in this movie is one of the prettiest women I've ever seen before I will say that.

I'm not a very good writer. But I like writing these.

An embarrassment
15 October 2022
Michael Rosenbaum is from the town i grew up and he came back to make a movie here which sounded pretty cool until this was the movie that came out of it. Immature toilet comedy. Desperate in it's attempts for laughs.

The best thing to come out of it was it got a real life school principal fired because of a scene in the movie.

Apparently, in the movie the principal has a naked guy in the back of his car but doesn't know it. There's full frontal nudity and everything. Why a guy who works around children all day thought this would be an appropriate thing to do is hilariously dumb.

I guess he thought he might become famous for being "the guy who doesn't know theres a naked man in his car." But it was not to be.

I'm not a very good writer but I've always been ashamed of the movie and I recently learned about the principal story so I thought that was a nice rotten cherry on top.

8MM (1999)
7/10
Underrated
3 June 2022
This movie deserves higher than a 6.5/10.

This is a very dark and disturbing movie. Along the lines of Se7en. This honestly makes a good companion piece to it. This is the dark underbelly of the world. This is evil.

The movie keeps you invested throughout.

The soundtrack is very unusual at parts and doesn't go with the movie at all.

Sidenote: has James Gandolfini ever not played a scumbag?

It's a Spy Movie about Nothing
1 June 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The problem is you're an hour and a half into the movie and you still don't know what's going on.

This movie is super forgettable. I'd watched it before a year or to ago and I could not remember anything that happened in the movie.

Now, I'm pretty forgetful but i can usually remember some basic plot points in a movie.

Some good actors and good car chases. But the mystery is "what's in the case?" You never find out what's in the case.

I don't know if the plot is over convoluted or if there isn't enough of one but it's not a very good movie.

Blow Out (1981)
7/10
Watched because of QT
27 May 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I recently watched a Youtube video where Quentin Tarantino said Blowout would be one of his 3 desert island movies.

Eh, it wouldn't be my pick. It's alright. I really like the concept but the sound that solves a murder plot is solved really early on. Nancy Allen's bimbo voice is very annoying. She's not written very well at all. I'm by no means a feminist but her character is so dumb she would fit right into Idiocracy and no one would think she was a genius.

It wasn't very suspenseful either. John Travolta's idea to have her micced up seemed rather flawed and boy was it!

Lamia? More like Lame-ia!
12 May 2022
I love the Evil Dead movies and Spider-Man movies so I was excited to watch this movie bexausw I consider myself a Sam Raimi fan.

This movie is really not good.

The acting is terrible. Everything is super awkward. The leading actress is terrible.

There are a couple of funny moments, but they're few and far between. The ending is anticlimactic, and then it goes on for 10 more minutes to give you a laughably bad (not in a good way) twist horror tragic ending.

I would not recommend. One and a sideways thumb down.

Copycat (1995)
7/10
Watchable
6 May 2022
The serial killer looks like Ricky Nelson which made it feel extra weird.

Holly Hunter's acting is weird in this. She's always smiling and it's odd. She acts as if crime scenes are a pleasant walk in the park.

Unsatisfying
11 April 2022
Bad ending and a disgusting intro that has nothing to do with the movie.

Amy Adams' character criticizes her parents for being religious but she's an adulterer who has a secret abortion she keeps from her actual husband. So who really should be criticized here?

There's a revenge plot to the movie but the protagonist in the story is so weak he can't do anything to protect anyone. Not even himself.

A weak movie. David Fincher could have done it a lot better. Because that's basically what this movie is. A david Fincher knock off.

Barely funny. Wayy too long
4 April 2022
Overrated. It has a lot of potential. It's pretty random rambling plot. It does have one of the best car chases in movie history. But it's pretty mediocre over all.

It's a shame too.

Wholsome. Practically Perfect
23 March 2022
Appreciate your loved ones. Value your time. Don't let a moment pass without making it count.

I want this to be the motto to my life.

This movie is so wholesome and cute.

Don't let pride get in the way.

Great performances.

Manhattan (1979)
5/10
A movie that does not age well
18 March 2022
An ode to Hollywood's obsession with sexualizing minors. If this movie was made today it would be called, "Grooming." It's hilarious how pathetic Allen's character is.

Was he actually looked up to for this "back in the day?"

Genius (2017– )
4/10
Misleading
21 February 2022
Watching the first season. They lure you in with a big star who turns out is only in 20 minutes of the show then the rest of the show is a flashback with another actor.

Every episode has to feature Einstein having sex with someone. Very important to the plot.

I watche the show because I want to learn about his scientific discoveries, not about his affairs and Kids born out of wedlock.

Also, IMDb fix your app so I can write reviews and see what I'm typing.

Lonesome Dove (1989)
6/10
Faithful adaptation. However it's pretty boring
4 February 2022
The book is super long but a pretty good read.

Somehow this show is pretty boring.

A lot of the character's feel miscast.

The Lady who plays Clara felt the most egregious to me.

Also, the episodes aren't edited very well. Every oepisodes ends poorly. Hard cut to black.

And the show does a bad job displaying the passage of time. A character will show up and then it will appear another character arrives the same day. But then someone says there's been a passage of time. We needed to see something that would convey there's been some time that's passed.

Found myself disliking this from the get go.
3 February 2022
Don't know why. It all seemed so overstylized. That's the problems with movies. They're all so fake with the cgi. I loved Pan's labyrinth. But this felt wrong somehow.

Saying the F word isn't funny
20 December 2021
Will Forte can be funny but all this is, is terrible puns and saying the F word ever 15 seconds.

It's a show for 12 year olds but I dont they would even think it's funny, because all 12 year olds are nihilists and don't care about anything.

Weird soundtrack
9 December 2021
It's like the sopranos. Terrible people doing terrible things and suffering terrible consequences.

The soundtrack is weird.

It's not bad. It's just weird hearing Stranger Things musc in a movie like this.

Another Meh by Edgar Wright
21 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Here's the truth they don't want you to know. Edgar Wright hasn't made a good show since S P A C E D. But what about Shaun of the Dead? It's a meh movie. This one isn't as bad as Baby Diver but it's still lame. His style is cool, but the stories are always so lame.

Spoilers:

Who's the bad guy? The hooker? Or the John's?

Don't we support "sex workers" nowadays?

This movie makes sex work out to be pretty terrible. But then wait, she's killing all her former clients. So she's the bad guy? Well, they took her dream aways. So it's ok if she kills them. The twist was good. Not taking away from that. But the fact the main character is like, "I understand why you did it," sends some weird mixed messages.

Goofy but fun.
12 November 2021
This movie is insane. It's not really even a movie just a random series of events. But it's goofy and it cracked me up several times throughout.

I would break this down into 2-3 viewings instead of watching it all at once. Pretty funny though. Oh yeah, I was going to mention how much the Animaniacs seem to be inspired by this.

Why is a man playing a woman?
20 September 2021
There's clearly a man dressed up like a woman in this show and I don't understand why? Is it for comedic purposes? It really falls flat. I heard this show was good but this casting choice seems really odd and took me out of the show. His voice is so deep it's like he's not even trying to hide the fact he's playing a woman. Is that the joke?

What are we supposed to do?
9 September 2021
I'm glad the media made a movie about how we shouldn't trust the media.

This is a strange movie. Don't work and make money for your future. Ok, so what are we supposed to do? The premise of this movie is really good, though. I don't usually support remakes of movies, but I think this movie could he remade and if done correctly, add more to what was missing from the story in the original. But what do I know?

Interesting
1 September 2021
I always hate shows/movies produced by the streaming companies. This is Hulu's first show that I've ever wanted to watch. I'm only 2 episodes in. So far it's pretty interesting. Steve Martin Short are good, but Selena Gomez has been a drawback for sure. Maybe it's supposed to be her character, but it's almost like she doesn't even want to be there. How does she like 12 and like a grandma at the same time. I'm a couple of years older than her, but she's going to be older than me pretty soon. I have hopes for this show. I'm liking it so far, which, as I said before is the first time I've ever enjoyed a show produced by a streaming company.

All substance no story.
22 August 2021
I know people love to hate on Michael Bay but I usually like his movies. However, this has to be the worst movie of his I've ever seen. There's no story to this at all. It's 45 minutes of waiting for the bad guys to start shooting so the good guys can kill them all.

Read the story, skip the movie.
31 July 2021
This movie is maybe 25% faithful to the story.

It seems to add in a mish-mash of Arthurian fairytales. It has is a montage reminiscent of something from Rick and Morty.

It looks nice is the only positive thing I'll say about it.

How is this not rated R?
10 January 2021
There's like 6 scenes where you see women's bare breasts. This came out in 92' but I would have thought this would have gotten at R- rating.

Animaniacs (2020–2023)
5/10
Not as good. Wayy too political
29 November 2020
The first episode was good. After that every episode feature some sort of left wing liberal B.s. plot point. The show is more "random" than the original series which makes it seem dumber. The original they made jokes about actors and movies not politics. Lame how everything has to have an agenda anymore. Everyone thinks they're going to be in a history book someday. Lol just have fun and don't try and shove your agendas down people's throats.
