Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget (2023)
Chicken Run Dawn of The Nugget is a really tasty treat with some flaws
Hey everyone yesterday I saw Chicken Run Dawn of The Nugget on NetFlix. For the most part I really enjoyed it The basic premise of the sequel is that Ginger, Rocky, and the other chickens are peaceful free lives on an island in the middle of nowhere and Ginger and Rocky are now parents to an adventurous little chick called Molly. Ginger and Rocky have decided to keep their past lives a secret from Molly and not let her explore the outside world. But Molly chafes at this and eventually runs away to go an adventure and ends up getting captured by Fun Lands Chicken Farm which styles itself as a Pleasure Island for chickens. Funlands Chicken Farm is run by Gingers old nemisis Mrs Tweety. It's up to Ginger Rocky ad the other chickens to rescue Molly from being turned into a chicken nugget. Let me just say that I really love Chicken Run Dawn of The Nugget and have been a big fan of the original having seen it in theaters on June 30th 2000 when I was 13 years old I'm 36 now. Even though I love Chicken Run Dawn of The Nugget that doesn't mean the sequel isn't without it's flaws Ginger and Rocky have new voice actors. Half the time they sound like the originals and half the time they don't. I just gotta say I really miss Mel Gibson Zachary Levi whom most everyone knows as SHAZAMN by now does a decent job sometime at impersonating Mel Gibson's voice but other times he doesn't. He's basically to Mel Gibson's Rocky The Flying Rooster what Dan Castellenata was to Robin Williams Genie semi decent imitation in terms of voice but not as funny. Another problem with Rocky is that they make his character a TOTAL IDIOT. In the original Chicken Run Rocky was a happy go lucky carefree JERKASS But he wasn't STUPID. Part of the conflict in the first movie was that Rocky came from The Circus he launched himself out of a cannon to escape from The Circus and accidentally landed in Gingers Chicken Farm Ginger and the other chicken took him in and hid him from Mr and Mrs Tweety and The Circus people hoping he'd teach them how to fly not knowing that roosters and chickens cannot fly. In the sequel Rocky is a TOTAL MORON his only contribution to the movies plot is when they get stuck in a corn silo and Rocky figures out how to make popcorn to get out of the silo. Earlier in the movie Rocky taught Molly their daughter how to make popcorn in order to de-escalate an argument between Molly and Ginger. The things that work for th sequel is the central conflict between Molly and Ginger. Ginger wants Molly to stay on their island to avoid danger but Molly has a case of really bad wanderlust and runs away and gets caught by Mrs Tweety's minions and taken to Fun Lands Chicken Farm a high security detention center for chickens disguised as a chicken's playground where chickens are given mind control collars worn around their necks to keep them docile and than turned into chicken nuggets. They brought back Miranda Richardson who voiced Mrs Tweety in the original, and she's the primary reason why Dawn of The Nugget is almost as good as the original. Mrs Tweety has really grown as a villian instead of simply keeping chickens on a chicken farm behind wire cages she keeps them in maximum security compound you'd see for criminals She fits them with mind control collars keeping them happy so they don't run away while she processes them into chicken nuggets this time around instead of chicken pies I REALLY LOVE DAWN IF THE NUGGET AND AM HAPPY THEY FINALLY RELEASED A SEQUEL TO THE ORIGINAL. I was a but skeptical hen they announced the sequel but I really love this movie.
Crimewave (1985)
CRIME WAVE IS CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED
I really love this movie. The biggest problem for me is the main protagonist Victor Ajax. A lowly Security Guard who finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. When one of his bosses Mr Trent murders his business partner Mr Odeguard for selling their Security Firm to developer Renaldo The Heel who's going turn the business into a strip club. Renaldo is played by Bruce Campbell, who absolutely steals every scene he's in. The other characters whom I really love WHO STEAL THE WHOLE DAMN MOVIE are the two Pest Exterminators who moonlight as hit men. The best way to describe this pair of hit men is that they're two thirds of The Three Stooges. The problem with Victor Ajax is that for most of the movie he's the stereotypical nice guy who's most likely a virgin. He finds himself having to rescue the love of his life from these hitmen, which somehow results in him ending up on death row. Because he was somehow framed for the murders of his bosses whom were both killed by the very hitmen one of them hired to kill the otherone. And somehow Victor Ajax takes the rap and is about to be executed via The Electric Chair until his innocence is proven at the last minute This is a TERRIFIC FILM and I'm DEEPLY SORRY that it was so UNAPPRECIATED that Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, and The Coen Brothers have felt the need to disown it I'm just glad it was released on DVD/Blu-Ray and Streaming CHECK IT OUT.
Morbius (2022)
MORBIUS DELIVERS PLENTY OF BITE FOR MY BUCK
Hey everyone just saw MORBIUS yesterday and I really enjoyed it I'm really puzzled as to the abundance of bad reviews though. I think the problem with MORBIUS is that people are so hung Jared Leto's performance as THE JOKER in SUICIDE SQUAD that it's permanently stained his career in the eyes of many people I hope that DR STRANGE INTO THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS provides context for Micheal Keaton's cameo as Adrian Tooms aka THE VULTURE. Because his cameo makes no sense.
Na pude aneb Kdo má dneska narozeniny? (2009)
Toys In The Attic is so good it will love rent free in my attic for years to come
So I just watched Toys In The Attic today and I loved it While it's dificult to make out what's goibg on as far as the story is concerned. The visuals are so created that you get lost in the world of the film from it's sheer creativity The whole premise is that this evil manniquin head kidnaps a doll named Buttercup because he wants her for himself. And her friends have to save her from his grasp. Aside from that the story is difficult because it's very surreal. I love how dirty ëaundry represents a raging river and pillows represent clouds. The movie is on Amazon Prime check it out
101 Dalmatians (1996)
Not as charming as The original
So I just watched DISNEY's original 101 DALMATIONS from 1961. The original movie was me and twin brother's all time favorite childhood movie, to the point where we had bed linen and curtains based on The original movie in our bedroom until we were ten years old. I remember watching The DISNEY Remake in theaters when it came out during The THANKGIVING Holiday season of 1996. And I really loved it at the time. But as I've gotten older I've realised how superior the original still is. Glen Close without a doubt is the BEST thing about The DISNEY Remake. Even if you HATE the remake which I do I can tell that Glen Close had a ball hamming it up as The world's most EVIL fashion designer Cruella De Ville. Huge Laurie and Mark Williams also do a great job playing Cruella De Ville's BRAINLESS henchmen Jasper and Horace. The slapstick involving Jasper and Horace is pretty hilarious even though The movie is a SOULESS CASHGRAB The DISNEY Remake of 101 DALMATIONS is equal part BEETHOVEN and HOME ALONE a good premise but not executed very well Unfortunately this was the start of DISNEY'S Legacy of remaking their animated classic films as SOULESS LIVE ACTION AND CGI CASHGRABS.
Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019)
SPIDERMAN FAR FROM HOME IS FAR FROM BORING
Hey everyone so I just went and saw SPIDERMAN FAR FROM HOME a second time and I have to say that I REALLY LOVE Spidey's latest adventure. Tom Holland is growing on me as everybodys favorite friendly neighborhood SPIDERMAN. Jake Ghyllnhal as MYSTERIO is AMAZING I love how he has a crew of disenfranchised Tony Stark employees helping him create illusions of elemental monsters rampaging all over Europe so that he can fight the monsters and be a bigger hero than the GREAT IRON MAN AKA TONY STARK HIMSELF SERIOUSLY DON'T LISTEN TO NEGATIVE REVIEWS SPIDERMAN FAR FROM HOME IS AWESOME IT'S AS GOOD AS AVENGERS ENDGAME
