Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins (2021)
What I don't understand
Ok so first things first. I have no problem with movies being predictable if there fun. This had fleeting moments but if your basing a movie on action figures then the action needs to be up to par. This was lacking all the way. Got no issues with the casting, got no issues with the predictable story. I have tons of issues with the direction. Who in Paramount movies thought " I know, let's hire the guy who made RIPD into a bomb, who ended the divergent series and we can say his best movie is Red. Let's get that guy". I don't understand the logic behind studios. They made this movie to fail.
Mortal Kombat (2021)
Did they not learn
Firstly this made me massively nostalgic for the 1995 because it was fun. This wasn't. It was a out as coherent as the 2nd one and it's a shame because it starts of really well. Then it just goes from scene to scene. No real story and it's just a set up for the inevitable sequel......maybe. Forget this one. Watch the original.
American Gods (2017)
Let's correct a few things
So s1 was great, S2 not so much and then we have what I really believe to be a knock out interesting season that is 3. Wednesday is vurnerable, Shadow moon is curios and we have a fantastic change of character for Bilquis. We all know the show is marred with issues due to showeunners and Neil Gainen himself says things could have been handeled better but........ I don't think that should take away from how well this season has played out. Really enjoying it, stay with, go with the flow of the character changes and enjoy the ride.
Mulan (2020)
All negative reviews are wrong
Let's get something right. Disney said all along this was going to differ from the animated movie. No songs, no cricket and yes no Mushu. So knowing this info has been about for two years. Why are people upset and acting shocked at these changes.
As far as me and my family. This is up there with Aladdin in the live action cattagory. Really enjoyed it. Beautifuly made, well acted and loved the lil nods to the original but at the same time admired and liked the fact it was its own movie.
My 8 year old lil girl loved it. There doesn't need to be a princess, a cute song or a love interest not when you have a strong female lead character as good as this. Well done Disney
The House with a Clock in Its Walls (2018)
Remember when the made films to scare kids ?
Gremlins
Matinee
The Gonnie's
Krull......... Do you rember the time before everyone became such little complainers. Do you remember when there was kids horror movies......Monster Squad anyone ???
This is a great flick , a kids horror flick nicely aimed at early teens and below with enough scare and humors to keep the adults entertained. A move like this is a total rarity nowadays.
Thought Jack Black was great, Cate Blancher looked like she was having a ball and so did Kyle Mcglauchlin .
Me and my 8 year old had a great time watching it but then again. I'm not a snowflake and my 8 year olds favorite movies are Gremlins and Labrynth
. Watch and enjoy
Watchmen (2019)
When you know other reviewers don't k ow what they are talking about
Original graphic novel of Watchmen took place in an alternate America where Nixon had one. Other than that what else is a Horrifying moment in America's history and still is happening to this day. The treatment of black people. Smart move to then show a fictional TV show upping the anty on an otherwise horrendous topic. Is this the Graphic Novel....No. Is the the film adaptation ....No. This is a TV show trying something new and I for one liked it. Only the pilot viewed but I'm looking forward to the next installment and to read more reviews from the hill folk of America.
Deadly Class: Sink with California (2019)
The best show SYFY has ever done
Where did this messed up derranged lil gem come from. Loved it from start to finish and what an episode. Bullits, guts and plenty of glory. This deserves a season 2 and more. Spread the word cause Deadly Class is probably one of they most underrated shows out there and I cannot wait for more
