Naked and Afraid: Last One Standing (2023)
Jeff is 100% correct. Everyone else is wrong.
How is Jeff the only one who understands that this is ultimately an individual competition? Who in their right mind thinks it's a good idea to help their competitor achieve victory? Apparently, 11/12ths of these participants.
This is a GAME with one winner and eleven losers. It's not 'Naked and Afraid' where people work together achieve a common goal.
It makes zero sense to make sacrifices to help others survive. No one will die. If they can't hack it, they tap and the individual is one step closer to winning the GAME.
I don't particularly like Jeff. He could use a lesson in humility but he's the only one who gets it.
Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021)
Should've just left it alone.
I've never yawned so much while hearing so many noises and seeing so many flashing lights.
This flick tries way too hard and LeBron is trying way too hard to act. He is not good.
I gave it an extra star because some of the animation is good.
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2020)
Yawn.
Typical over-the-top, childish, gutter soup ... as expected.
Not made for children but made for children.
Bad Trip (2021)
Fun, funny but (occasionally) unnecessarily vulgar...
If you like big pranks, if you like a fun buddy flick, you'll dig this. Bad Trip was a good watch.
Tiffany Haddish was fantastic!
There were a few scenes and a few lines that could've been toned down. (The zoo scene immediately springs to mind.). I'm not prudish but the line between funny and sophomoric vulgarity was crossed on a few occasions in my opinion ... but not nearly enough for me to not recommend Bad Trip.
The manner in which some regular people reacted to some of the situations was rather heartwarming.
See it and have a few good laughs.
(No spoiler but the closing credits was one of my favorite parts of the movie.)
Pete Davidson: Alive from New York (2020)
Not good.
Here's proof that you don't have to be funny or talented to be a comedian. We get it, Pete, you do drugs. This was like watching an open-mic night at a trivia bar in a strip mall in Podunk, South Dakota. Has he ever done stand-up before this taping?
(To be honest, the second half may have been comedic history but I couldn't make it that far.)
