The Twilight Zone: The Comedian (2019)
A very promising start
This is a promising start to the series. Taking a small yet still supernatural story and cramming it into stand-up comedy actually worked. Kumail Nanjiani was very good in it, and he was great in the last scene of the movie. Probably the best acting I've seen from him. I just wish that the actual lines were funny, like since his audience was dying of laughter, but I didn't even budge a smile. (Well maybe, they were under some kind of spell that-ohhhhhhhh!!!)Jordan Peele was barely in it, so I don't know what to say about him other than his voice is pretty soothing. All the supporting cast was great, and I think that all the loose ends were tied up at the end while still leaving some stuff up for interpretation. Also the episode looked really good, good shots, good use of color, just beautiful. 8/10.
Watched via YouTube.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Bombad Jedi (2008)
Please do yourself a favor and skip this episode.
Who ever thinks it's a good idea to bring Jar Jar Binks on a mission? No one. There is no point in watching this episode. It's not connected to the overall story in any important way, it's far from entertaining or exciting, it has fart jokes and loud screams for comedy, and it's quite simply the most irritating episode of the entire show.
Just skip this one.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Downfall of a Droid (2008)
Worst episode so far in season 1
The animation hasn't rendered fully yet, the frame rate is lower than usual, the storyline is dumb, and the music is horrendous. What was wrong with John Williams's score to the point where they chose to use this upbeat disco-pop music instead??? Even the comedy is lame, resorting to farts and bad smell jokes.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars: The Wrong Jedi (2013)
A beautiful and emotional ending to the best season of the show by far.
This is Star Wars at it's finest. Real story, real character emotions and arcs, real dialogue. The last shot of this episode alone is better than the entire prequel trilogy. Dave Filoni took these fictional characters and made them real and believable. Season 5 was a rollercoaster, and between this arc and Darth Maul overtaking Mandalore, it was a fantastic ride. I'm giving not only this episode, not only this arc, but the entirety of Season 5, a 10/10, and I think all television shows, not just cartoons, should strive to be as good as this.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)
Best animated movie of the year BY FAR
First and foremost, I know everyone is talking about the animation and how the animation is great and how the animation is revolutionary and how it puts animation 10 years ahead or something. All of that is true. I can confirm all of those things. Little easter eggs are hidden in the animation, and it's so stylistic and fast. When you do a close up on a person's face, you can see little dots and circles in their face, just like in comics. I don't know whether this movie was hand-drawn, 3D CGI, or a mix of both, but whatever it was, it was breathtaking.
Second, the performances. Jake Johnson was so good, I will only hear him as Peter Parker. Nicholas Cage should just stick to voice acting, as he was better in this than he was in Teen Titans. I don't know how Shameik Moore sounded like a teenager, but he did. Speaking of good impressions, Mahershala Ali as Uncle Aaron sounded like a completely different person in this movie, I didn't even know he was in this movie until the credits rolled. Oscar Isaac plays a certain spoilery role, and Hailee Steinfeld is amazing as always. John Mulaney was the biggest surprise, as Spider-Ham was much more enjoyable than expected.
Next let's talk about the story. So original and creative, and full of twists and turns. The villains are all menacing, (especially a certain female villain, who turned up being wayyy more creepy than she had any right to be). The script is super tight, and each character uses different words, like Nicholas Cage's character, SpiderMan Noir, doesn't use any words that were made after the 1930's. Lord and Miller are probably one of my favorite duos in Hollywood right now. Their writing is so sharp and quick, and I love it.
Other surprises: Without spoiling, what they did to Aunt May was super unexpected, and was simply hilarious. I could never guess what the end credits scene would be, and I wouldn't want any other scene than the one we got. Speaking of scenes, the Stan Lee cameo in this movie almost made me tear up, but then he cracked a joke, which made me laugh, but made the scene even sadder.
This is by far the best animated movie of 2018, and possibly the best movie of the year. I can't wait for the sequel.
The Dark Knight Smells (2012)
Just from that title....
You can pretty much sum up the cleverness of this skit from the title and description.
King Candy (2015)
This was made for only $500??? Impressive
This is Ralph's best work. I was engaged in the story the entir 50ish minutes of the film. King Candy is definitely one I'm rewatching in the future
Love on a Leash (2011)
Hold on to your leash!!!!
Fantastic movie. From the acting, to the lack of score, to the effects, to the sound editing, it's simply a flawless masterpiece.
The Thinning (2016)
Despite the last scene, The Thinning was a good movie
First off, let's keep in mind that this movie shouldn't have worked as well as it did. It's made by YouTube, stars Logan Paul, and has a cast made of mostly Disney Channel stars. However, although flawed, The Thinning was very intriguing, witty with its dialogue, and thought- provoking... until the twist. If you haven't seen the movie, go check it out. If you HAVE seen the movie, then you know what "twist" I'm talking about. Let me just say, if you removed that scene, this would be one my Top 15 favorite movies from 2016. Overall, well worth watching.
