Gunpowder Milkshake (2021)
John Wick With Girls . . . . But Better!?
I watched this because I wanted to see an action comedy, as it is my favorite genre. There is definitely action. No question, but the comedy is scant. I think there were 4 or 5 small comedic moments in the movie. Its a shame because more comedy would've made it easier to suspend my disbelief while women beat up big burly men for an hour.
If I had to describe this movie as briefly as possible it would John Wick but with girl power. Its all about action, with the story being secondary. However I enjoyed this movie more than John Wick. The encounters are much more creatively executed and the characters, easier to connect to.
There are some very pretty environments in this movie and when the action slows down, they are usually a treat. However the beauty tends to fade away when the killing starts.
I could see people having very political opinions about this move so let me get that out of the way. Yes. This movie is very woman focused. This has the potential to be preachy and annoying but not once did they to the "girl power" shtick which i appreciated.
This movie was good for what it was. Predictable yet entertaining. Good movie to watch girls kick ass. Slow to start.
The Imperfects (2022)
Imperfect, but worth not sleeping on . . . . . IF it continues to air
This show I feel, has potential. I'm simultaneously watching the boys and i would say they utilize the powers in more interesting ways in this show. The actors were great at what they do,
However, The plot is a different story. Out of the 3 MCs, I would say one is seriously lacking in comparison to the other 2 in terms of personal conflict. The story revolves around doing a certain thing for most of the story. Not the overarching goal but. The same thing needs to be done. I hope in the future they will remedy this. If it gets a season 2 that is.
The music was awful sometimes and great very few times. It gave me a "Tony Hawk American Wasteland" vibe and i wasn't digging it. Not a fan of yelly girl punk. Lol. That's not all there is I'm just saying. The soundtrack overall was not good to me.
Visuals are standard. Nothing special. Not scenes you are going to hang up on your wall, but its serviceable.
I would like to say that i did VERY much enjoy ability related plight of 2 of the main characters and their powers are handled extremely well. The powers in this show are really interesting.
Also Dr. Sarkov is the best character.
Prisoners of the Ghostland (2021)
Visually Striking. Storilly Boring
The set designers were not paid enough, and the writers were paid too much. This movie is absolutely beautiful at times but it knows it and shows it off by having an excessive amount of establishing shots constantly, which makes the movie seem slow. Best use of testicle-related humor ive seen in a while though. I kept seeing that Nicholas Cage said it was the craziest movie hes ever been in. I will say the costumes and environment were quite unique but the intensity the word "crazy" implies, just isn't there for the most part. I'm not mad I watched it but I won't watch it again. It's a feast for the eyes but not much else. 4/10. Slightly bellow average.
Katakuri-ke no kôfuku (2001)
Great movie if you want to laugh at nonsense.
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. When you watch it, approach it with the mentality that there will be corny and weird stuff and its all meant to be funny and you will be fine. It does have a plot and it actually gets pretty intense at points. But throughout there is also wacky nonsense. Its honestly just interesting to see what will happen next.
This is probably the best movie I have ever seen that I do not want to see again. It was great but I feel like my enjoyment was highly reliant on not knowing what would happen.
This is a movie like none I've ever seen. Not for everyone but it was for me.
The Batman (2022)
A short review from a non-Batman fan
I have never seen a full Batman movie before. Ive seen pieces of a few of them and i am firmiliar with some of the villains and the general premise of Batman.
This movie is exactly what i expected.
Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Well for me, if a 3 hour movie is THIS predictable, i consider that a bad thing.
Catwoman and Batman have exactly the interactions you expect them to.
Alfred and Batman have exactly the interactions you would expect them too.
Absolutely nothing in this movie Wow'd me or suprised me in any way.
TLDR: This is what you should find if you look up Batman in the dictionary. Its good at being Batman but it doesn't take any chances and doesnt have any suprises. Thats not enough for me.
Vaioretto evâgâden gaiden: Eien to jidô shuki ningyô (2019)
Beautiful Disaster
Short Review: This movie is very pretty. However, the English dub is . . . Not great and the ending is what you get when you look up "blue balls" in the dictionary. The show was better.
