Ted (2024)
I really liked this!
I started watching this because I was bored, and I had watched the movies which were decent so I thought that at least it would be entertaining at best. I was surprised at how much I liked it. It worked better as a show than a movie, in my opinion. It was actually funny and the different story lines in every episode worked better with the humor than a movie with one plot.
I really liked the characters, and I actually liked teenage John better than adult John. I liked Alanna Ubach as John's mother. I'm used to seeing her play crass characters but she played this role seamlessly.
It felt like Ted would have been better off as a show to begin with.
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey (2023)
Three stars is generous.
I watched this movie because there was a thread on Reddit that said people liked this as a cult classic good bad movie (see Birdemic or Troll 2) but it was just...meh. I went into it expecting the lackluster costumes (just a dude with a bear and pig mask and normal clothes) so that was fine. The lack of character development was fine. The premise of the story was fine, actually kind of interesting. My biggest issue (besides the obvious wtf moments...one of the characters having different pants on than when she was kidnapped, Pooh knowing how to drive) was that it just ended out of absolutely nowhere. Like, I was waiting for the big climax but then the end credits came on and I was like...what. Two minutes more and this would have gotten a better review. The only reason I gave it three stars instead of one is because I watched most of it ready to defend the numerous one star reviews because the movie itself before the ending isn't that terrible. And because I liked the beginning monologue where they explained the premise of the movie. So all in all the premise was cool, the execution terrible.
The Call (2020)
Meh. Spoilers ahead.
My biggest issue with this movie was that Christopher really didn't do anything wrong yet still suffered the fate of the others who tortured Edith. And even then, the others were tricked by Tonya who convinced the badly abused brothers that her sister had been killed by Edith. So like these brothers who were beaten by their father but were told that Edith was responsible for the death of Tonya's sister deserved to be tortured to death for believing Tonya? Could they not have just been shown the truth? It was a weird cluster**** that only redeemed itself by the senior cast of Lin Shaye and Tobin Bell.
American Carnage (2022)
I like this movie but I get why it gets a low rating
I actually really liked this movie. I can see why it gets a low rating though because some Republicans won't like that it pokes fun at Trump. Until the part where what they were using the immigrants for was revealed, I think a lot of people would have been ok with the concept.
To be honest the only thing that would have made this movie better is if the news credits at the end had people trying to defend what happened and complaining that their tax dollars shouldn't be spent for research on how to reverse the situation. In today's world where everything is politically motivated there would have been people trying to defend what happened.
South Park: The Streaming Wars (2022)
Just eh
I'm a huge fan of South Park but this one missed the mark for me. It was almost like they had new writers. The whole 'Karen' thing might have been funnier like three years ago but it was just kind of annoying.
Blue Family (2014)
Good acting
This movie was ok. It was based (I'm assuming) on Ariel Castro, which this seemed to be a watered down version of. The reason I gave six stars instead of like four was because of Guillermo Ivan's ability to go from charismatic to really creepy.
