Shingles: The Movie (2023)
You'll Laugh, you'll cry (from laughing)
I have long loved the books by the Authors and Dragons crew and learning that a Shingles Movie was coming absolutely made me giddy with anticipation.
This movie is hilarious, but kind of dumb. Like, Napoleon Dynamite dumb. It might take a couple of viewings to "get it".
Without spoiling the stories, I will say that most of them keep SUPER close to the books, but there are of course differences. (like none of the characters in the movies are "kids", that would be just too horrible)
You'll love Buick, You'll think Jimmy is a total tool. You will never look at garden gnomes or venquilitrist dummies the same way either!
My favorite short is probably Zombies Wrecked my Kegger, but I will say that Just Say Gnome is... Something else.
I only take off one star because some of the effects aren't very special, but it's a very thriftily made movie! Watch it. You'll have a blast.
Ms. Marvel (2022)
One episode in and I am HOOKED!
First don't believe all the people who say this series is bad because it has a Muslim heroine, or her powers are not exactly like the comics.
The direction with the animation in the various scenery, the family being believable, and various other touches are great.
As a marvel fan, I really enjoyed it.
