Home Alone Celebrating 35 years of this film.

 

Home Alone Review

Home Alone is one of the best Christmas films ever made by John Hughes and Chris Columbus. We all know the story about Home Alone, how an eight-year-old Kevin is left home alone on Christmas, and he has to defend his Home from two psychopathic home invaders. 

Now in the film, we see how crazy the holidays can be and we all feel bad for Kevin for how he is treated by his family especially by his brother Buzz and his uncle Frank. I hated Frank I really wanted someone to punch that guy because he didn't care about Kevin and was thief too. 

This film was so funny, like I remembered laughing so hard when Kevin screams in horror at the sight of Marley. This film had some heartwarming moments too like in the end of the film and I loved how Kevin really proves he can take care of himself and we see how much his family really loves him unlike Frank. 

I once asked people if they ever wanted to punch this guy, and everyone said yes.

One thing I never like in the film, was when Frank called Kevin a little jerk and neither of Kevin parents call him out for that I mean, if someone called my kid a little jerk I would get so mad about that and kick him out. Honestly, Frank was more deserving of Kevin's traps than Harry and Marv were. 

If we had gotten a proper Home Alone 3, I would have made Uncle Frank the bad guy, because in the original drafts, Frank actually hired the Wet Bandits to rob his brother's house. That would have been a good twist, revealing he was the mastermind behind the Wet Bandits. Also, there was a deleted scene in the second film were Kevin's parents call Frank out for hating on Kevin which they still haven't released. I have nothing against the actor who played the role of Frank I just hated the character. 

When Kevin is left alone he loves it at first until he realizes how much he misses his family and feels bad about what he said to them. However, when the Wet Bandits are in his neighbourhood he tries to stop them and we see Kevin put together all these traps and lets face it after watching honest action some of those traps would have killed them. 

Kevin would have killed them; these people, like Marv and Larry, would both be dead after getting hit with a shovel. The Wet Bandits were really funny in this film, and it's insane how they survive all of Kevin's traps.

Seriously, these two would be dead in real life. 

Also the ending of the film is heartwarming were Kevin reunites with his mom and she apologzies as does everyone else. It's also funny when Buzz sees what Kevin did to his room.  

As well, the scene where Marley and his son reconnect, and the scene of him hugging his grandfather, are tear-jerkers. That ending was great and beautifully shot. I also like the church scene with Kevin and Marley because they do have a lot in common. 

Home Alone is still one of the best Christmas films to watch, and I did like Home Alone 2, but didn't like what came after, of course. Chris Colombus said they never should remake this film again because it wouldn't work in modern day era and I agree. 

The cast of Home Alone were all fantastic and it's funny to know that Fuller is now an oscar winner. This film still holds up 35 years later, and I highly recommend watching it for Christmas. Also check out the first episode of Dryvrs because it is the real sequel to Home Alone. Here's a link at the bottom to watch it.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery

 

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery 

Review.

So I saw the new Knives Out film, and here's my review. I loved it, like it was a lot better than the second film. Like, this is one of the best murder-mystery films I've seen, and I really wanted to know who killed that person. There were so many twists and turns in the film that made me go Oh, I did not see that coming. I also loved the cast of the film, and it's always great seeing Daniel Craig as Detective Blanc. This film was well-made and had me on the edge of my seat, wanting to see this mystery solved. When you find out who did the murder, you will be like, Wow, I had suspicions on who did it, but I did not see that coming. I loved this film, and I give it 8 out of 10. 

My thoughts on Netflix buying out WB.

 

My thoughts on Netflix buying out WB. 

So it's official: Netflix has bought out WB, and to be honest with you, I hope it doesn't affect Gunn's DCU, but it also makes me worried because it seems we'll now be getting more streaming networks and fewer films in theatres. Now, I could be wrong, and that may not happen, but there are also people upset about the idea that Netflix won't bring back the Snyderverse, which is okay. Still, I'm not a fan of more streaming movies, because it could hurt the theater business. 

Overall, I'm mixed on Netflix buying WB. I would have preferred Universal, but it all depends on what they do with the DCU. I hope they won't fire Gunn and do another reset or some shit, because Gunn's DCU is off to a good start. Let's hope Netflix doesn't mess it up, as they did with The Witcher. 

That's my thoughts on the WB being bought out by Netflix let me know what you think this buyout.   

Just Friends Review

 

Just Friends Review

Celebrating 20 years of this film. 

Just Friends is a comedy film starring Ryan Reynolds before he became Deadpool. The film is about a guy named Chris who was an overweight loser in high school, and now he's a successful agent and he's lost all his weight. He comes home for the holidays with pop star Samantha James, who is a crazy woman, and she would be hashtag # MeToo today. 

In the film, he reunites with Jamie, his best friend, and wants to be more than just friends. The film is about the friend zone. Let's face it, all of us here have had a crush on a friend, and we wanted to be more than just friends. Sometimes it works, but sadly, some people do end up in the friend zone. That happened to me too, where I got friend-zoned, but eventually I met my girlfriend, and my life has been great. Chris sees this as a chance to finally admit his feelings and be with her, but things don't go well for him. Another crush of Jamie's, Dusty, wants to get with her, but he wants revenge. He's douche Dusty, I always thought he deserved to get punched at the end of the film.

The film had some funny moments, especially with Samantha; she was hilarious, and Chris's brother Mike was funny too, especially during the fights between Chris and Mike. Seriously, Ann Farris stole the show in this film like she was so funny. 

However, the film, if you look at it, betrays all four characters, Chris, Jamie, Samantha, and Dusty, as horrible people. Like, Chris was being a jerk, Jamie was playing the whole 'I can't choose' card, and she got taken advantage of without listening to the people trying to warn her. Samantha is crazy. She can't take no as an answer, and Dusty is a douchebag who pretends he's a nice guy. There are moments when I want to punch him or expose his attentions toward Jamie, and all the good things he does are all bs, or, better yet, his stammer comes back, ruining his chances at a music career. However, I feel more Chris. He gets humiliated and treated like crap by Dusty, these three kids, Jamie's dad, and when Dusty embarrasses him in the car about his mouth guard. You know what's funny? If that was Deadpool, he would have put that mouth guard in Dusty's mouth and broken his fingers, ruining his music career.  

However, in the film, when Chris tries to warn Jamie about Dusty's real intentions to get with her for revenge, all because he's still bitter about the friend zone, unlike Chris, it doesn't go well at first, but Jamie sees Dusty for the jerk he is at the bar, and she and Chris get into a fight, and Chris leaves. 

When Chris returns, he finds Samantha, who wants to get with him, but he doesn't want that because he loves Jamie, and tells her he can't force someone to like them; you have to wait and see. Chris returns to Jersey, where he apologizes to Jamie and tells her how he really feels. The two of them kiss, and it's a good scene, but also Chris makes a good point in the end that if the person you like doesn't like you that way, it's best to move on or accept they will only be your friend; it's just better to have them in your lives if not at all. 

 I also hated how those three kids in the movie hated on Chris and called him a suckster, and I'm like, yeah, he's Deadpool now. I also thought it was karma when Jamie's dad, who had been a jerk to Chris his whole life, got his christmas decorations destroyed by Samantha when she accidentally drove away with the car having a christmas wire stuck to it, and one of the kids who called Chris a suckster got friend-zoned by the girl of his friend group. Too bad we didn't get that for Dusty in the end.

Now, Just Friends is a fun Christmas film, and we all know what it is like to be in the Friend Zone, but there is always a bigger fish in the sea. The cast of the film all did a great job and that bed room scene with Chris and Jamie with inner monologue was proof that Ryan Reynolds was born to play Deadpool. 

This film is fun, and the cast is excellent. I give this film a 6 out of 10. 

Merry Christmas

To all

A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas Review

 

A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas Review

For the christmas and the holidays here is my review of one of my favourite stoner christmas comedies. A very Harold and Kumar Christmas 3D. This is one of the funniest christmas movies and to me this is the second best Harold and Kumar film. The film is set after Guatanmo Bay and Harold is now married to Maria and they are trying to have a baby while Kumar is just getting high all time and Vanessa broke up with him and she tells him she's pregnant. The two of them haven't talk in awhile and they have new friends Todd and Adrian. Those two characters are so funny espeically the scenes with Todd's daughter.

One of the funniest is scenes is the opening when Kumar meets with weed dealer at the mall.

Lol this scene was so funny. 

Also the 3D scenes were really good too like it's funny how they made it in 3D and Harold points out isn't overused now, but as his co-worker told him.

Good Break the Fourth Wall Joke.

Now in the film Harold's father in law doesn't like him he uses a foam tree and he has a personal dislike towards koreans because his mother murder by some. To which Harold didn't know at all from Maria. So Harold works hard to make it a good christmas for him and he will detectorate the christmas the tree while they go to mass. Kumar gets a present and he his buddy Adrian go to Harold's place but also Adrian wants to meet this lady online but theres a reason no guy wants to get with this lady despite how pretty she is. 

After the christmas tree gets burned by the joint. Harold and Kumar try to get a new christmas tree but it's hard especially on Christmas eve. The funniest moment when Todd's three year old daughter gets high on weed it is so funny and they go to the party that the girl Adrian wants to hook up is. They try to get the tree but they drugged and Adrian learns she is the daughter of a mobster. That's why no guy wants to be with her. 

Now one of the best scenes in the film is when Harold and Kumar are claymated and the scene is so funny and the song was perfect for it. I couldn't stop laughing at this scene.

As well I like the call back to White Castle and them reuniting with Seth and Andy and Seth is now a christain and Andy hates it. Later Harold and Kumar plan to steal a tree and the plan out scene is so funny and I just love how Kumar describe the plan and it's like really? 

Harold and Kumar reunite with Neil Patrick Harris in a musical scene and it turns out Neil came back to life after Jesus stole his ladies. That scene was hilarious and I thought it was brilliant how Neil's real life husband David is actually drug dealer and the whole gay thing is actually misdirection that Neil learned from Clay Aiken. 

Also I love how Neil says "See you in the fourth one." Which we are getting at last a fourth Harold and Kumar film. 

We meet Waffle Bot whose the hot selling toy but also this toy is so dangerous too. I find it funny how Waffle Bot hates Pancakes. Harold and Kumar get captured by mobsters until Waffle bot saves them. The two of them make amends and restore their friendship. They get home with the help of Santa Claus and Harold stands up to his father in law and he gains respect for him and always knew he was a good guy.

The cast of the film all do a great job in this film like John Cho and Kal Penn they are perfect together in this film and the rest of the cast was great and Danny Trejo was also really funny too. 

The film ends with everyone celebrating christmas and getting high too.

This is a great stoner christmas film and it's always worth watching for the holidays.

 I give it a 8 out of 10.

Merry Christmas 

and Happy Holidays 

to all my viewers!

Tangled Review to celebrate 15 years of this film.

 

Tangled Review

Tangled was one of Disney's big comebacks, as it was a CGI-animated princess film. Tangled is one of my favourite Disney films, full of great characters, a good story, and just a fun movie to watch. Based on the tale of Rapunzel, which most of us already know. This version is that Rapunzel wants to see the floating lamps every day on her birthday. Still, her mother, Gothel, doesn't want her to, because we all know Rapunzel is the lost princess, and her hair is magic, and when she sings to Gothel it keeps her young. 

These two were also really funny together. Out of all romantic couples, these two are funny with each other. 

We also have Flynn Rider, one of the film's best characters. It's funny how he only wanted to get rich, but after meeting Rapunzel, he promises to take her to the lights and falls in love with her. One of the funny running gags is Flynn's nose. 

They go on some adventures, go to a tavern, and they sing I Got a Dream and they meet the guard horse Maximus, and he befriends them even though he wants to turn in Flynn. Mother Gothel was a good villain, and you saw her on my top ten best Disney villains. 

One thing I find interesting is that at the end, when Gothel turns old and is dying, Rapunzel actually tries to save her from falling. Which is interesting, despite learning the truth that she kidnapped her from her parents, she still cares about her, as Gothel was actually caring for Rapunzel. 

As she acts like she would get redemption, but no, she's straight up a terrible person who treats Rapunzel as an object instead of a real daughter, who lets her explore the world as most parents should. 

Tangled also featured memorable musical numbers, such as "See the Light," "I Got a Dream," "When Will My Life Begin," and "Mother Knows Best." The voice cast is fantastic, including Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi, Donna Murphy, Ron Perlman, Brad Garrett, and many more. 

The film was excellent and funny, and its ending was great, as a family is reunited at last. Rapunzel was a princess worth waiting for, as Flynn says.

Now we have a Tangled TV series that is set after the first film. It did explore Flynn's background and explore more of the lore of the glowing flower, and we got an animated sequel short called Ever After, but we never got a feature-length sequel, which many fans and even the cast wanted, but as they said, she cut her hair, what else is there to tell? Still, I would have loved a Tangled sequel rather than more Frozen films. Also, we are getting a remake... why, though? Just make a sequel or something, because we all know what they will do in the remake, since it's being written by the writer of Love and Thunder, ugh. 

He proposed seven times till she finally said yes. If you want to watch the animated series. 

Also, one of the last great Disney romances we got, because after this, Disney killed romance in films, sadly. 

Overall, I love Tangled; it's a great Disney film, and it's always fun to watch. I give an 8 out of 10. 

Wicked For Good Review

 

Wicked For Good Review

So I saw Wicked For Good yesterday, and here's my review of it. I liked it, like it was a good final film of a two-parter. The film picks up five years after the first film, and Elphaba is the Wicked Witch of the West, but she's also trying to expose the wizard's lies, while Glinda is the Good Witch and supports the wizard and wants Elphaba to join her. The film had some significant musical numbers, the visuals and settings were great, and the cast was great too. The film did drag on a bit by the end, where I was like, okay, let's wrap this up. Now the film does show us the Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, and the Scarecrow. Also, some of the musical numbers were good and catchy. 

However, I still enjoyed this film, and its ending is a good conclusion. I give Wicked For Good a 7 out of 10. I liked the first one more, to be honest.  

The Running Man Review

 

The Running Man Review 

So I saw Running Man yesterday, and here's my review. I liked it a lot. This film was excellent. The action was good, there were some funny moments, and the storyline was good too, but it's not Edgar Wright's best film. The cast of the movie all did a great job, like Glen Powell, Josh Brolin, Michael Cera, Jayme Lawson, Colman Domingo, and Lee Pace. The film is based on a Stephen King novel. It's set in a time when everyone enters network shows that promise lots of money, but they die. The Running Man is a game show. If you can stay alive for a month, you win a billion dollars. Ben Richards plays Glen Powell, who comes to help his wife and his sick daughter. 

It's funny to know the novel and the film are set in 2025, and it's 2025. 

I really did enjoy this film, and it's worth checking out as it's a fun movie. I give this film an 8 out of 10. 

Playdate Movie Review

 

Playdate Review

So I saw Playdate and here's my review...It was funny, but not a great comedy like Naked Gun—it's a fun movie to watch if you're bored or want to get high. I mean, Alan Ritchson is always fun to watch, and Kevin James, well, he's Kevin James; he's funny once in a while. I mean, there were some humorous moments in this film, and there were times when it came off as stupid, but overall it's a funny movie. It's one of those movies you can get high or drunk to have a good time. I give this film a 5 out of 10. It's an okay movie with some funny moments, but it also has some dumb moments too. 

Lilo and Stitch Review

My Lilo and Stitch Review.

So I saw the remake of Lilo and Stitch, and here's my review...It was better than Snow White, but it's another pointless remake that ruins what made the original so great. Now, the film's visuals are good, but its editing was pretty bad. However, Stitch was still really funny, but there were moments in the movie that ruined some of the heartfelt ones. 

Also, the movie changes a lot from the original film, like Nani wanted to be a marine biologist, and Lilo and her don't have a sister bond that brought them together like it did in the original film. They also include some new scenes from the original film that feel out of place. However, there were some funny moments in the movie, though. There were also some new characters in the film, like another social worker who played the original Nani's voice actor, and David's grandma, who takes care of Lilo more than Nani does. 

Also, I can see why fans hate how the director changed what Ohana meant, because it means no one gets left behind, but in this version, Nani leaves Lilo with David's grandma, and there is no romance between Nani and David — well, this is modern Disney, they hate romance now. Also, I hated how they made Jumba into a villain, like they cut Captain Gantu out of the film. 

The director of the film has defended the changes, and I disagree with him because it ruins many of the original film's themes, like family never gets left behind, and how so many people had to give up certain things to help their families. I have nothing against this guy but I don't think he understood what the original film's themes and messages were. 

In the animated film, Nani initially trained to become a surfing pro, but she gave it up after her parents died. But in the end, we all know she got a great job to support Lilo, and their family got bigger. It's sad how they didn't do that. I think the film would have worked better if you ended Nani getting a full time job as a surfer so she's living her second career idea being a professional surfer. There is always back up careers incase our first careers don't work out. 

Now, the cast of the film is good; I liked the actresses who played Lilo and Nani — Maia Kealoha and Sydney Agundong —and the original voice of Stitch, Chris Sanders. I will admit it's cool they got the original voices of Nani and David Tia Carrere and Jason Lee Scott, as two new characters, and the rest of the cast did a good job. Still, the best thing was Stitch and the scenes with Jumbo and Pleaky. As well, Bubbles was cool, but they changed him up and there were some heart felt moments too between Stitch and Nani. 

However, this film, in general, is why people don't want Disney remakes anymore: they ruin the themes and what made the original films. I give this remake a 5 out of 10. Honestly, How to Train Your Dragon was a great remake. It was created by the same director of the animated films, and unlike the director of this film, he made minor changes. This film did the opposite for no good reason. Like if Disney remakes something else please just make it minor changes not big ones.
