Founders Day (2023)
Low budget scream, which is saying something
I went into this movie knowing it had less than 5 stars so I was just expecting a good laugh. And since it has an R rating, some good kills.
Well it partially accomplished the latter. I did enjoy some kills. They showed more gore than if it was pg13. Unfortunately it's rather predictable, bringing nothing new to the genre. Lots of people compare it to Thanksgiving, and seeing as how it's been released within a couple months I can see why. Thanksgiving is far and above a better movie which is why I'm rating this so low.
I called who the killer(s)? Were almost immediately and if your paying attention at all, it's quite obvious. The acting is some of the worst I've ever seen and the script is TERRIBLE.
I gave it a 3 instead of a 2 because I actually loved the soundtrack. Fitting and fun. And having Mr. Mathews in it was a welcome surprise.
As far as those reviews saying us giving it a negative review didn't "get it". What's to get?! They beat us over the head with the premise. I won't give the plot away but 2 political sides facing off and both being trash is just par for the course these days. Not surprising or new or fresh.
I don't recommend seeing this. Go see Thanksgiving, or a scream movie, or honestly anything else.
Screwdriver (2023)
Don't waste your time, seriously.
I have never in my life left a 1 star review. I see 1 star reviews on movies that have a good score, or good acting. Maybe good lighting and a decent script. Movies fall short. It's art baby. Up to the interpretation of others. So I try my best to see the good, or atleast see what the writer was aiming at.
This is garbage. No really. Its bad. If you made this movie and are reading this review, who let you make this movie? You pitched it. You drew up story boards. Maybe, Board? I should say bored. And someone said yes? There is no plot. Well nothing that's interesting or engaging. Nothing happens. It's dull. Lifeless even.
The acting is terrible. No tension was built. Not with music. Not with ambiance. It's a dialog driven movie with nothing to say.
DONT SEE THIS MOVIE. I love a bad movie. Really, I love a bad movie that I can make fun of. This is just sad and pathetic. Sorry not sorry.
It asked me to say if it contains spoilers... spoil what?!
Causeway (2022)
Emotional drama full of heart
A24 does it again. They sure know how to pick movies that wouldn't be elevated otherwise. This isn't a movie full of action or twists and turns. If you loved moonlight, and enjoy a heartfelt story that is about the journey and not the destination, this one is for you.
Jennifer Lawrence and Brian Tyree Henry are believable and committed to their roles. The sound design and ambience are top notch.
Other films have shown war and returning back to normal life before, but what this movie has is a woman who is broken but determined. There is no "woe is me" moment, just a determination to find a new normal.
Fall (2022)
Edge of my seat
I thought this movie would be pretty lame considering it's 2 girls stuck at the top of a tower for 2 hours. It's got some heart. I was happy that it didn't rely on flashbacks to move the narrative along. And boy is it anxiety inducing. I'm not even that afraid of heights, but this was a hard watch. Good twists. Wont spoil any of that, but i didnt evwn expect twiata which made it even twistier. The ending is good enough. Definitely worth checking out. I would have given it an 8 if they would have showed an actual rescue at the end. I mean we wait this entire time for them to be rescued and you cut to the end without showing how the hell the helicopter even got to her. Pretty lame.
The Batman (2022)
An early look at the man in black
I'll keep it short. It's dark and gloomy and you won't walk away feeling warm and fuzzy. But it will stay with you and that's a good thing.
I enjoyed Pattinson in this role. Not my favorite Batman but he acted it well.
This Film was beautiful. The use of light was brilliant.
Go see it in theaters. If you enjoy DC, you won't be disappointed.
The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
More than I could have expected
I'm a big fan of this series. Always have been always will be. It's thought provoking. It's intentional. This movie was extremely Meta. It was irreverent. How else could they have pulled this off? It's been almost 20 years since the 3rd was released. I think they tied this in perfectly. There are shot for shots from the originals and on one hand I could see people not liking that. Personally tho, that's exactly what made this movie phenomenal. This Is a story about destiny and love. I cannot wait to watch it 5 more times and soak in every detail. Go see it and decide for yourself.
