Yuru Camp movie 9/10 this show never fails to be enjoyable.

 

Harvey it was an interesting old flick. 6/10

 

Smile

4/10. Disturbing, not in a fun way. Typical horror movie ending.

 

Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman-I was surprised at how much I liked this one. 6/10

The Banshees of Insherin: 6/10

Certainly a good movie, but personally a bit of a let down. Aesthetically and acting-wise, it was pitch perfect. I just wanted more.

 

My SO Has Got Depression:
A J Drama that explores depression and how it affects the marital life between a white collar worker and his wife. There are times where it can be cute and whimsical but when it gets serious about the effects it hits hard.

8/10

 

The Banshees of Inisherin: 5/10

 

It’s A Wonderful Life - 9.5/10

 

The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell story - 7/10 I enjoyed this and never knew the cast had so much beef with each other, particularly Lark and Tiffany. Everyone knew about Dustin Diamond and his substance abuse issues, but I didn't know what it stemmed from or his friend betraying him for fame. Still, it seemed this glossed over a great many issues to keep from hurting people's feelings... or possibly lawsuits.

 

Avatar: The Way of Water:
New setting, new characters, new culture, and at the same time old characters and repeating stuff from the first one, but it's not necessarily bad as they are still new things to explore. Visual effects are a big improvement since 2009 and I loved all new creature designs.

8/10

 

Avatar 2: 5/10

 

Klaus: 9/10

 

Black Adam: 6.5 / 10

Most average comic book movie ever. It does nothing new or special. In the end it’s just generic. I just see a blend of better movies. Black Adam is just a stoic living destruction machine. JSA doesn’t feel right. It’s more Hawkman hiring people to make a super team. JSA just feel like Colossus in Deadpool but they are meant to be taken seriously. Doctor Fate is the only JSA character that I liked. If you are bored it’s worth a watch. It’s not as bad as WW86, Suicide Squad, BVS or Justice League. Of the DCEU still it would sit in the middle.

 

Del Toro’s Pinocchio - 8.5/10

Beautifully done, and surreally gracious in how someone hoping the main character will die is actually a very positive and meaningful note.

 

I saw two Netflix exclusives recently.

del Toro's Pinnochio

A nice Laika-esque film from del Toro's mind and a really good one. An excellent voice cast alongside some reasonable changes (miss the Fox and Cat) to the original story. Loved the monkey. Yes, it takes some time to get used to the implementation of fascist Italy in a movie like this but I do see the messaging as one of discovering oneself. A contender for animated movie? Sure is.

8.5/10

Troll (2022)

Too be honest, I was kinda bored with this one. Yes, it's a Norwegian movie about trolls but it's a run of the mill monster movie that moved as sluggish as the troll in the movie. The acting was fine across the board; no major complaints and the troll was actually rendered pretty good for a movie outside of Hollywood. I feel like it's a bit of a forgettable experience sadly; but I would still like to see Godzilla or Kong fight a monster humanoid like this.

5/10

 

Technically the fox is in it. Count Volpe serves as the fox, since Volpe is latin for Fox and his facial features/hair is designed to be fox like. As in his pointed nose and his fox ear-esque hairstyle. His red and fur trimmed coat also.

The cat is just the monkey in a way too, being his partner and having cat like ears.

 

I too went to see this yesterday with a buddy. This was a no nonsense, to the point, fun action flick. I love how everything was explained under the "It's Christmas magic, I don't really know how to explain it..." banner.   Really enjoyed this film for the mindless fun, would recommend for your holiday action movie marathon. 7/10

 

Yeah, I figured. Some things were changed for a less ‘fantastical’ approach.

 

Devotion: Biopic about Naval Aviators Jesse Brown and Tom Hudner 9/10

Wish they would’ve shown more of the missions (20) he flew during the war but I get it was cut for time.

Great film, but do not go in expecting Top Gun, this is not an action movie, it pulls at the heart.
