Cats & Dogs (2001)
Dogs and Cats
As an animal hater this really changed my view. I was always of the opinion that the constant feud between animals was nothing more than a distracting to bigger issues. This movie truly explores these ideas to the fullest and makes the viewer question their own reality. Although some might write this off as a kids movie its deep message really makes this a movie for adults. Although some of the humor is used to disguise this message. At first I thought this was to keep children entertained but now I know that it was to hide some of the deep neo-liberal commentary from the censors. I would highly recommend this movie if you are looking for something to challenge your current beliefs.
The Truman Show (1998)
The Badman Show
The Truman Show is truly one of the worst movies that I have ever come across and I don't understand why people think it is good. I thought it would be a Tv show based off of the title but the creator didn't seem to mind ling to me and the audience. The main issue with this film is that it tries to make you feel sad or happy throughout the movie but it completely lacks emotion. How am I supposed to care about the movie when the characters are so poorly written and unrelatable. The next complaint I have is that the movie never lets the actors get into the role they are supposed to play, and on top of this the movie keeps reminding you that they are just actors and there is no reasoning behind this, I guess the director jut had no idea what he was doing. If you are thinking of watching this do yourself a favor and watch something which is actually good like black mirror. I mean that show is basically this entire movie but longer, better written, and has real emotion put into it.
Black Panther (2018)
Wrostest Marvel film in all time
Man I don't know why i keep going to these, maybe it's because I hope that they will get better scripts or be similar to a DC film but every time I am disappointed. Lets' see where do I start, I probably have to say that the story was by far the worst part of this movie, I mean come on Disney you have told the prince marries princess story to us in so many animated movies why did you have to make a live action one. The next complaint is the political commentary is over the top and doesn't fit with the story at all. The one redeeming quality that this movie has is the excellent comedy.
Ready Player One (2018)
I love video games
I knew this movie was going to be a master piece before I even walked into the theater. Before I went I heard that there was a book similar to the movie so I decided to skim through it and after watching this, I can assure you that the movie is roughly 10 times better than the book. I think the best parts of the movie are all the the fun nerdy references. As a gamer who is raising a girl gamer I can say that the references pulled me into the movie constantly. And I think what makes the references so much fun to follow is how the good graphics pull them all together. The story was amazing but had a couple bad points but I will still give a high score because of all the great gamer references and excellent graphics
Spaghettiman (2016)
Student films, the Review
You know it was always my dream to become a writer and director when I was a kid. As I grew up I slowly learned that my talent wasn't in making movies but rather, reviewing them. whenever a student film pops up I take the time to watch it and while I might be hard on large franchises I have a soft spot in my heart for student films. I know the struggle that many go through in order to get their ideas out there and become known in the movie industry; and you know it's hard being the little fish in a sea full of sharks that's why small creators have to pull out their A game when they make movies. For this movie I am proud to say that they hit a lot points spot on. Some of my major issues were the cinematography and the fact that some of the comedy was flatter then my wife's ass, but all other points were spot on. The beginning of this film is where the directors talents shine but near the end it begins to fall of hard which was disappointing to me as I was really getting into the story and the characters they had. I it feel would be a disservice to the director if I didn't mention is the excellent use of practical graphics. Most movies you watch today and ask yourself why something looks so awful is because usually it is practical effects. As movies became more and more CGI many practical graphics began to look out of place compared to the perfectly computer generated counter part. In Spaghettiman this doesn't happen because the director realizes that you can't combine CGI and practical graphics, and for that I applaud him. Overall if you want an excellent film which major companies like Marvel and Disney can learn from watch the beginning of this hilarious super hero film.
The Cloverfield Paradox (2018)
Masterpiece Paradox
You know just some background, when I was younger I was told that something which was considered the best of it's category is called a masterpiece. Well after watching this I have decided that this movie was a masterpiece but giving it feels like a disservice to this movie, it just hits every note spot on and had so much thought and emotion was put into the movie the that I found myself on the edge of my seat, and relating with every decision the characters made. The only thing I could complain about is that you can't view the movie in 4k because it is on;y streamed on Netflix, and i ma sure that a movie as well made as this accounts for every tiny detail that the audience see on screen. This movie is a must watch and if you haven't seen it don't get it spoiled because every part is just pure genius.
It (2017)
Was more like a circus act
From the trailer I thought that this movie was going to be funny and original. But once again the trailer lied to me. I mean this movie has a lot of the same issues as stranger things, I mean just look at the actors in both movies. And when it comes down to it this movie couldn't get a scare out of anybody. I wanted to try proving this by taking my daughter to see It but my wife refused saying that she would have nightmares. I mean she was willing to see it proving that it can't even scare a kid. When it comes down to it Hollywood needs to stop trying to force child actors in our face, I mean they are bad just cause one is good doesn't mean you should keep relying on them. Overall if this movie had adults instead of kids and more jump scares I would give this movie a 8/10 cause the dialogue is still pretty meh.
Insidious: The Last Key (2018)
really rustled my jimmies
I personally avoid watching horror movies because most of them have the same plot and don't make any sense. But once again I was hanging with my friend who has terrible taste in film but instead of choosing his usual favorite, Marvel or some other terrible franchise, he had an epiphany. He decided to go see this movie over the other terrible brain dead ones. As soon as it started I knew that this would be one of the best movies of our time. Once we finished and left the theater I had to drop by a store to buy an extra night light. Overall I say if you want to be scared for weeks on end and enjoy some of the best acting ever seen this is the perfect movie for you.
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017)
Someone tell Hollywood to get original
You know I feel like not enough people say this so looks like it is up to me, Hollywood needs to get original. I have personally watched a lot of the movies coming out recently and while sitting through this one it occurred to me that most of the are just remakes or sequels. why do people even go see these I mean went twice but that's because I take my reviews very seriously and look for minor details. The average person shouldn't be going around watching movies which have no original ideas, I mean you look at something like suicide squad, a great movie btw, and you realize that nothing like that has never been done before. I mean everything about it was original and compared to jumango, or what ever the name for this movie is, you realize that it is just a movie trying to be funny by reusing every joke ever heard. Overall the acting was sub par the worst by far being Jack Black. I had high hopes for him after his performance in Goose Bumps but man he really feel apart i guess. When it comes down to it I would say that if you do see this movie try to sneak in to as to avoid giving another unoriginal movie money.
Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)
As a star trek fan I feel insulted
You know I came into this movie hoping for some good action but instead it is all just boring social commentary. I mean this movie is so bad it could almost be compared to the Original Trilogy. Honestly I was hoping for big space battles or long light saber battles but it never came. I mean the whole reason people go to star wars is for the action, I don't want to have to listen to some terrible incoherent plot the entire time. I must commend this movie for getting rid of some of the terrible characters and showing the fans that they mean nothing. Honestly I feel if they had a good writer like Zack Snyder or David Ayer this movie might be good and have enjoyable moments but instead they get some nut job who doesn't know what they are doing. Another thing this movie gets right is adding new music instead of the terrible music which came from the original trilogy, occasionally the classic star wars music pops up and it really just ruin the scenes . Overall if you are a brain dead star wars fan you might as well hand your money over to Disney and speed up this franchises suffering.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)
Terrible Comedy Vol. 2
I don't know why Marvel thought it would be a good idea to make this sequel. It makes the first movie much more confusing and goes in the complete opposite direction as the first. First of all the story is the same pile of garbage as before, just in a different movie. When will Marvel learn that they need to be more creative and take more risks like DC does. Secondly the graphics in this movie are so terrible and obviously fake that it just makes your eyes hurt. I didn't understand why the characters kept saying that the talking dog was a raccoon??? And I didn't realize that Groot was supposed to be a plant. Obviously the actors and the director no idea what the animation was supposed to be or what the animators were planning. Personally I would have fallen asleep, but the music was constantly blaring into my ears like a jet engine. And it didn't help that they chose the worst music from the 80s and 90s. Over all I would say that Marvel needs to stop making movies and figure how to improve.
Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
Another Monstrosity
I went to see this movie with friends but as soon as it started I knew it was going to be bad. I have not watched any of the other Thor movies because Thor is the worst super hero, I mean there are so many better heroes based around lightning, like the flash. But since my friends decided to see this I was forced to go. They has so much potential with the other characters but instead the stick with the worst one, Thor. I guess there was some OK action but when it comes down to like always DC beats them in that department. Honestly if you walk into a movie theater and are forced to choose between this or any other current movie, just watch justice league and see how the professionals do it.
Justice League (2017)
Another Zack Snyder Masterpiece
Once again the DC universe manages to pull off another great hit. This movie proves how superior DC is to Marvel. Watching all of Marvels movies you begin to realize that all of them have the same issue, they are just confused about what they want to be and are rushed in order to hit big holidays. But DC does the exact opposite, they plan every scene down to the dust specs in it. And they don't feel the need to rush their movies just for profits they care about what the fans want. Personally Zack Snyder has made these movies excellent and him leaving has only made the movies worse. But beside that the acting in this movie is phenomenal. I have never seen a movie which has put so much effort into making sure the actors are in role before filming. And once they develop the strong connection between the characters and the audience they move into great action scenes. Once you see the action in this you realize how awful every other super hero movie has been. Over all I would recommend this to everyone I meet I hope everyone else does as well in a last ditch attempt to get Zack Snyder back into the DC universe.
Stranger Things (2016)
Really Bad.
You know everyone told me to watch this show and that it was one of the best shows they have ever watched, all of that is a lie. This show just does everything wrong. Instead of using actual good actors they use kids, and everyone knows that kids are just awful actors. On top of this it doesn't even have any good jump scares which is what makes a good horror movie. And the cherry on top of this pile of garbage is the awful writing it is just frustrating to see a decent idea be abused like this, maybe one day writers will actually learn what their audience wants.
Quigley (2003)
An unexpected classic
This is by far one of the greatest movies ever created. The story by itself is outstanding and goes above and beyond any other movie I have seen to this date. And it isn't just the story which proves that this movie is one of the best but also the acting, watching Gary Busey pretend to be a dog and walk on all fours is outstanding, it adds so much character that words could never do. The fact that this movie doesn't have to tell you what is going on constantly is what makes it one of the best because it treats its audience like adults. I know that this movie will go down as one of the best classics ever created.
Geostorm (2017)
was excellent
Personally, I didn't think that this movie would be good but after I saw this I was amazed and wanted to see it again. This movie is genius and takes a risk that no other movie would take these days, basically politics. It stands up to all the people denying climate change and proves them wrong. Other than being controversial the graphics are amazing and the acting is outstanding, it is so good it deserves an Oscar.
