    GAME OVER, MAN! - 1/10:

    This was utter garbage. Netflix will doom themselves if this kind of crap keeps getting made and released by them. Apparently the days of their aiming for Oscars have come and gone. Their will to try is dead.

    I guess you'd have to be a fan of Workaholics to get this trio's humor but humor wasn't really to be found. Now, I'm not saying I didn't laugh because I did, twice, but the film is utterly devoid of laughs. Even my wife chuckled, but yeah...

    Anders Holm is a capable actor, I've seen him in other films and he was quite good, but he did himself a disservice being in this film. Adam DeVine is playing the same character he always plays (himself, just outrageous) and perhaps he has talent but this movie wouldn't showcase it. And then we come to Blake Anderson. For the majority of the film, his performance is... Natural. It just works because he's not insane or stupid like the other two and then it's all thrown away and he becomes a line crossing gay joke. (No, seriously.)

    I can't even believe the rest of the cast... Rhona Mitra, Neal McDonough, Daniel Stern, Donald Faison, Fred Armisen, etc... They really, really, really lowered their standards to be in this garbage heap, or I hope they were duped.

    I could deal with the film if it wasn't formulaic. I could deal with the film if it wasn't offensive. I could deal with the film if it wasn't a extended gay joke with full frontal male nudity "just because". It's all of those things and does none of it right. You can be straight and be absolutely offended by this film, it sets progress back at least a century. I'm not joking, there's terminology in here that'll make you cringe. They only stopped short of using a certain hated racial term because even they knew "Yeah, we've already gone past those lines, let's stop at this one." No one wants that trifecta.

    I could've found a way to get past the formulaic part if it had just had some more heart and the hero trio were worth giving a damn about. (I don't swear anymore, so you know I'm pissed...) They went into this with the least amount of effort and we all suffer for it.

    The nudity was downright pornographic and even involves a sexual situation that you'd find in an x rated film. Neither me or the Mrs were okay with that. It shouldn't be on Netflix. It was disgusting.

    By the end of the film, you're wishing you had one of the bomb collars they used in the film. And Seth Rogen produced this. F*ck you, Rogen! Now, I fully understand why people think he's a living disease. Maybe he's a nice guy IRL? I don't know, but he's a horrible blight on Hollywood with vomit like this.

    Do not, ever, waste your time to watch this film. It will make you cry and cringe because you'll hate yourself for it.

    Oh, speaking of cringe. This film is needlessly gory in HORRIBLE ways that make your toenails curl up off of your toes and makes you want to bleach your brain. All I'll say is meat slicer. The gore wasn't even done tastefully or funny. It lingers on purpose as a "joke" but it's never funny in this flick.

    I cannot even find the exact words I need to describe how much I hate this film and I worry I'll hate the people behind it, too.

    I hope thist film gets deleted from Netflix servers and burns in Hell.

    Grease - 9/10

    Grease is one of about three musicals I can watch (not including Disney movies) beginning to end. Everyone's pretty good here, even the bit part players. Honestly all that brings it down is I find some of the notions around Sandy's end transformation a tad dated. Modern versions of the stage show (and a television show, apparently) usually get around it by simply expanding her backstory and giving her a bit more agency.

    Also, Greased Lightning is probably one of the filthiest songs ever if you actually listen to its lyrics.

    There are maybe 2 or 3 musicals I can force myself to sit through, but Blues Brothers is the only one I really like.

    Tarantula (1955)

    Just watched this classic monster movie for surprisingly the first time. It's a good movie all around really, even if it might feel fairly unremarkable to modern audiences. That's just a symptom of something feeling cliche now that would have been more original at the time of this movies release.

    I enjoy a fair amount of films from this genre and era from The Giant Gila Monster to The Giant Claw and even though Tarantula might not be a change of formula for this type of movie it has a general higher quality that makes it stand out.

    You actually made it through the whole movie? Why would you do that to yourself?

    My wife and I LOVED Workaholics, and usually like Seth Rogan films, but we tried this one and only made it about ten minutes in before we had to shut it off. It's truly one of the worst pieces of garbage we've ever tried to watch. There was literally zero effort put into making any one moment feel enjoyable. In fact, I'd almost swear it was made for the express purpose of destroying brain cells.

    I wish they would have just made a straight Workaholics riff rather than this . . . I don't even know what you'd call it. It was horrific. Unlike a train wreck, it was super easy to walk away from it without watching more. Absolutely terrible. Anybody thinking about watching it? Don't. It's not even enjoyable in a "so bad I can make fun of it while I watch" way. It's just utterly devoid of anything resembling humor, or plot, or intelligence. Just complete garbage through and through. Do not want. I almost felt like we needed to throw away our TV for about an hour after we watched the first ten minutes or so of it. It's that bad.

    Anyone who thinks this film was primarily horror needs to rethink how they see films.

    Ant-Man and the Wasp - 8/10

    Finally got around seeing this. A fun sequel to an already fun film so that's something to look forward too especially after IW.

    Oh, I wish I hadn't. I'm not sure how I made it all the way through. Oh, and the villain? He's my hero. His motivation was completely understandable.

    If you're talking to the director, cool. If you're talking to us, I don't know what you're getting at. IT is a horror story written by a horror writer. It's not effective as a horror movie, but it was attempting to be. Or maybe your understanding of what horror movies are is too limited.

    It's been awhile since I watched It, but I remember liking the kids, and thought they did fine in their roles. But pretty much hating everything else about the movie. Especially Pennywise. Pennywise wasn't scary at all. And that's the point of the movie isn't it? Scary clown trying to kill/eat kids?

    Which I think would fit very well in the realm of a horror film. If anything, I thought Pennywise was a joke at best. The CG was terrible.

    Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - 6.8/10

    Is this the Avatar sequel/copycat no one asked for? Predictable at every turn, despite all it had going for it (top notch effects, set pieces that should have more suspense and tension, and a solid cast...even if BDH is a low-rent Jessica Chastain IMO) this was truly less than the sum of its parts and just fell flat.

    And can we please also stop with the endless homages/references/easter eggs/call-backs/whatever to the first JP? Try to be your own movie, and eventually franchise, without these distractions. Off the top of my head we got
    -camera/character looking up at a brachiosaurus with the sunlight beaming down, in awe of it's sheer size...but without even remotely the same amount of wonderment for the audience
    -T-Rex vs goat
    -turning to power/lights back on
    -Dr. Wu AGAIN?!?! Let it go, guys. This isn't Law & Order
    -mosquito-in-amber cane, from a groan-inducing retcon of Hammond
    -the iconic gates (this one I didn't mind)
    -Indoraptor/raptor:
    • toe-tapping the claw
    • opening doors (this time a window...instead of straight up crashing thru it for some reason)
    • Maisie in dumbwaiter = Lex in kitchen cupboard
    • shadow cast against a paining on the wall as the (Ind)raptor arrives in the room
    Probably missing a few more but's what I recall. The one thing I would've like more of is the original John Williams theme, which we got sparingly but enough of in the first Jurassic World.

    That's so adorable you want to rewrite reality like that. Stephen King didn't understand what he was writing, so it's lucky you're here to tell him.

    And it's a good thing Wikipedia can be edited by anyone, because they got it completely wrong, just like King (and the rest of the world):

    You better go fix it!

    It may officially be a horror film but many people do still see it as more of a coming of age thriller, because lets be honest, thats what the film really is.

    Plus, if we are gonna go citing random sources, hows about imdb's listing of the film as a drama/horror/thriller.
    Screenshot_2018-07-31-07-59-29.png

    Never said it didnt have any horror in it (hence why I said that its not primarily horror. The horror aspect just wasnt the films overall goal. Instead, as I said before, its really more of a coming of age thriller with a touch of horror.
