We Dug A Medium-Sized Hole (2023)
Funny
Two funny dudes making a funny video with a funny song inside... Funny!
In my opinion, Rhett and Link are more than aging YouTube sensations who eat junk and sometimes really disgusting food, they're two talented men who like to treat themselves to a bit of nonsensical funny comedy, and they do it well.
I wish they applied this kind of humour into a longer form of video/film art, à la Night of the Coconut by Patrick H. Willems. In my opinion, they'd make something unique such as the balding cinema-analyst but with that southern twist that's inside of them... Can't wait !
Until then, we have their powerhouse Good Mythical Morning, their highly recommanded podcast (Ear Biscuits) and all the songs and short films they've given us over the years, including this "We Dug A Medium-Sized Hole" which, no spoiler!, does everything it says on the tin!
Good work guys!
Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019)
It's a lot of fun!
One sense the scenarists had to integrate the event in Avengers Infinity War and Endgame, it's the worst part of the movie since it feels forced and unbelievable that the characters in the first spiderman were all affected by the event at the end of Infinity War and what followed.
That said, this movie is a lot of fun, and a feast for the eyes. Sure, if you knew the characters from the comics, you will not be surprised by the twist in the tale, and even if you didn't know them from the comics, you'll feel the twist coming from a mile away. But, since it doesn't ruin the plot and because the movie is served by flawless direction, flawless visual effects and a lot of laughs, there's not much to complain about.
I will not spoil the story for those who haven't seen the movie yet, suffice to say it's a hell of a ride with great actors, great action and good humour, all you want from a summer super-hero blockbuster.
I can't wait for the next chapter!
Sucker Punch (2011)
Money for nothing (not even chicks for free)
What a disappointment to see the director of Watchmen indulge in such a terrible mess. If you want to see annoying weeping teenage whores (hey! that's what they do in the movie!) and unrelated ridiculous action scenes, Sucker Punch will be a treat for you. The actresses can't play and, even worse, they can't handle the action scenes despite the heavy cgi supposed to help. Actually, the cgi is so forced and so ugly that it needed help from helpless performers, tell me about the snake biting its own tail! I can't understand how execs can let such a pile of crap go to the big screen. It's so bad I wish I could erase the very memory of that this movie ever happened.
No Strings Attached (2011)
Too predictable
### this review may NOT contain spoilers ###
I concur this flick is entertaining enough not to bore you to death for 1 and a half hour but that's about it. First of all, you know - before you've seen or read anything about the movie - what you're in for...But if you expect any surprise, you're in for a major disappointment.
Ivan Reitman and his writer follow the romantic comedy handbook we all learned to know and love since "When Harry Met Sally" reared its lovely head and changed the game...almost completely.
Alas, even the best recipes don't work every time and "No Strings Attached" is really too close and too soft to push any boundaries. And don't get me started with the actors'performance, except for Kevin Kline they're all extraordinarily...unremarkable. Kind of like a bad episode of Ally McBeal, you know the kind, with the little girl and the plumber...
So, I did not enjoy "No Strings Attached" even though I certainly can understand those who are too young to have witnessed the genre's evolution might find enjoyable in it. I guess I'm just too old and wise to fall in such an obvious trap.
