M3GAN - 3/4
Riddled with inconsistencies but visually impressive and sharply written for some dark laughs. I wanted the robot to win. Last edited by Seanny One Ball; 01-25-2023 at 02:58 PM. |

I think that is actually a 3/4 film in retrospect.
I did enjoy it a lot. |

Slik advising me to watch a 15K budget film now…
This isn’t the 80’s anymore… lies have clearly been told here with regards to budgets. A break down is necessary. |

I haven’t seen any of it, but unless it’s 90 minutes of iPhone footage released directly onto a streaming site with no advertising or production of any kind…it didn’t cost 15K.
“It cost us 15 K to film the footage” is possible. Maybe. |

Candy Land - 6.5
I can tell the director has promise but not everything lands in this horror flick. Some good and creative ideas, but I think there's a better film in the future from whomever made this, but this wasn't quite there yet |

The Price We Pay - 3.5
It started as an interesting film and then became a cheap, uninteresting and stupid film. |

M3GAN pretty good. The CEO and his assistant are either horrible actors or were given shitty direction tho....

The Muppets/Muppets Most Wanted - 3 stars out of 4
Watched them both back-to-back and I think they both deserve the same rating, however, for completely different reasons. Speaking as someone who wasn't really raised on the Muppets, having missed out on the original show and a lot of the major motion pictures, I can honestly say that the first movie of this bunch still managed to pluck at the right strings. There's this air of innocence to it. Like the town from the beginning is something out of Norman Rockwell, but at the same time, as with everything else, you're also supposed to laugh at the level of absurdity it reaches. The story hits the right beats as it cleverly tackles the real-life journey that the Muppets property has taken over the years. They kind of were forgotten relics and the film knows how to play with your emotions. The movie also makes me wish that other properties that try to meld human actors with fictional characters take more of a page from the Muppets as the human cast is equally enjoyable. It's nostalgia done right and I feel bad that I didn't watch it sooner. Now with the follow up, Muppets Most Wanted, the filmmakers say, "OK, enough with the mushy stuff. Let's go nuts!" A criminal doppelganger of Kermit the Frog? Yes. Tina Fey as a Russian gulag warden? Sure, why not? It's basically The Great Muppet Caper but with better focus and snappier exchanges and gags. And like Caper benefitted from the phenomenal Charles Grodin, this film also earns points with the comedically villainous Constantine. Everything about him is just ridiculously gold. Like blowing up a payphone right after using it; did he have to do that? No, of course not, but just the fact that he would do something like that is funny. Other visual gags also hit bullseyes, like the battle of the badges with Sam the Eagle, the small INTERPOL car, the Vaseline on the camera lens, or the fact that it's obviously not Jason Segal and Amy Adams in the beginning number. The more over-the-top, the better. Like I love the warden saying, "Good night, Danny Trejo" as if it's not just him playing a character in prison. It's actually THE Danny Trejo locked up. The plot is absolutely cliche but they have fun with it, so as a result, we have fun with it. Both of these movies are excellent returns to form. |

Murder By Death - 2.5/4
Very funny but dwindling returns on gags by the finale. Peter Sellars knew good racial comedy. The Frisco Kid - 2/4 Embarrassingly bad in parts, fucking hilarious in others. LOL’d at the dancing in the street screaming “Wahoo!” part. |

Barbarian 7/10
Enjoyed this a good bit. Inspired by a true story too, which is fucked up. Black Adam 3/10 Only redeeming quality of this, is its fun to watch Adam fuck up army dudes. Awful dialogue, awful acting. Rock doesn't play Black Adam. He plays a slightly meaner version of the same guy he plays in every other movie. |

The Wild Bunch - 4/4
Perfect. Ride The High Country - 3.5/4 A forgotten classic. No showboating in any way, pure performance. Peckinpah wasn’t all stunts. He knew a great story could work on its own if he had no cash for big explosions. The Ballad Of Cable Hogue - 3/4 Brilliant but sketchy. Sympathy is hard to come by but that ending is pretty good. Unique at least. Another performance based western. Westerns were all about story and scenery usually, at least until big budgets allowed for your Peckinpah style violence and grit. I always like a Randolph Scott style film where it’s about law, order and sorting it all out within 90 minutes. This film is like somebody just made a western without any cool stuff and only really grim, dirty reality. It works because Jason Robards is the perfect Everyman and his antics are really a sideshow towards a story that feels a little bit more advanced for a Western. |

Ben Foster has an incredible bit-part in 30 Days Of Night and it was that performance which made me think that some day he’d win an Oscar.

I’ve been surprised by how poorly Ben Foster has followed up “Leave No Trace”. His agent needs firing, the guy is clearly chasing an award in the wrong places. That WW2 boxing film he did was prime 50’s Oscar fodder, but it fell flatter than a nun’s tit coming out now.
Emile Hirsch should be doing better too. All of the talent in the world. |

I quite enjoy villian work by Peter Stormare.
He also had a series of commercials for some Volkswagen car that were funny as hell. |

It's definitely the most divisive horror flick in a while, even on Rotten Tomatoes
People like it or hate it, there's zero middle ground |
