Strange Darling 2024/ 7.0 / 97 min Serial killer movie. The movie opening
credits roll, over a rendition of Love Hurts that I’m sure has the band
Nazareth rolling over in their graves because I’m pretty sure they are all dead
by now. Then it starts off with Chapter 3 so I’m confused from the start. It
then jumps around between chapters. The first half of this movie is absolutely
horrible. Then a twist I never saw coming almost redeems the movie. Almost. I
give it a 5.8
2073
2024/ 7.1/ 83 min This isn’t
really a movie, it’s more of a documentary about “the event” that leaves the
world run by ruthless billionaires Bezos, Gates, Elon Musk etc. The film uses tons
of actual footage, so it was kinda interesting at first. It’s mostly about how
AI is going to control the world. I learned a few things, which is not what I’m
looking for in a movie. I give this a 5.0
Moana 2
2024/ 7.0/ 100 min I liked the first one, so I expected to really
like the second one. I found it to be merely OK. This one doesn’t really bring
anything new to the table. I didn’t find
any of the new songs to be that catchy. I did like the coconut dude, but everything
else was ehh, seen it. Not a bad movie, but not a great one. I give it 6.2
Terrifier
2018/ 6.4/ 85 min I wanted to watch the newest one, but felt I
needed the story from the beginning. There is no explanation of why Art the
Clown/mime is the sick fuck he is. This movie is a true slasher flick with no
real plot. I’m guessing it was shot on a $10,000 budget, with $9000 of that
spent on fake blood. I thought the SAW movies were gross, but this one gives
them a run for their money. Because he never speaks, I didn’t care about Art. But
with the gestures and expressions he kinda becomes likeable like Freddy. I give
this movie 6.0
Terrifier 2
2022/ 6.7/ 138 min
I’ve never seen a sequel of a movie start exactly where the last
one ended. But this time with a better
camera and a bigger budget. This time Art is targeting specific families (for
reasons that really aren’t explained) instead of just randomly killing. And Art
has this little kid ghost chick friend that isn’t explained. This
movie is better because it kinda has a plot. My only real knock is it
seemed too long. I give it a 6.5
Terrifier 3
2024/ 6.9/ 125 min Change of pace. Instead of Halloween this one’s
a Christmas movie and Art the Clown is a really shitty Santa Clause. This is
yet another gorefest that had me cringe more than a few times. It does start
tying things together that I didn’t understand from the previous two. Bad thing
is, every movie is related to the previous one. So to really know what’s going
on you kinda have to watch them in order. To make it worse, writer /director
Damien Leone has said there are 5 movies in the series. Every time you think
you can’t be more disgusted, Art finds a way to make you more disgusted. I’m
not a huge fan of the horror movie genre, but these are pretty well done, so I
give it its 6.9
Inside Out 2015/ 8.0/ 95 min Yeah, I know I’m going cartoon heavy
this round. Partly cause I like them, partly cause they’re short. Like the Terrifier movies, I wanted to watch
the first one before I watched the sequel.
I liked the movie and felt the plot was pretty original. All the
characters were likable, but I did like the anger character the best. I give it 6.8
Inside Out 2 2024/ 7.6/ 97 min This movie does have some of things I look
for in a sequel. Some new characters and the little girl is now a teenager. But
the movie almost seems the same as the first in that its another hour-long trek
to get back to the control room. And all the little falling marbles (memories) gets
a little annoying. I liked it OK but can’t rate it any higher than the original
at 6.8
Blue Beetle 2023/ 6.8/ 128 min Another DC
comic that I read a few of back in the day. Wasn’t a huge fan, but this movie
was better than I thought, especially when I realized one of the main stars was
George Lopez. Turns out, Lopez carries this movie. Kinda sappy message that family
conquers all, but the fight scenes are pretty good. Has enough humor to keep me
going. I give it a 7.4
Hellboy:There Was A Crooked Man 2024 / 5.3/ 100 min I liked the other Hellboy movies, but
this was absolutely a turd. I should have known when I saw that Ron Pearlman
wasn’t in it, the original director/producer had nothing to do with it, and it
featured “Jimmy” from Yellowstone. It’s like
the movie started in the middle, so you start off confused. Then Hellboy goes
off chasing witches in some backwards down south hill country. Lot’s of
confusing imagery makes it all even harder to follow. He does get to use his
big gun to shoot zombies. I consider it a victory that I made it to the final
credits and I dare anyone else to do it. I give this one a 5.0
