My Grown-Up Christmas List (2022)
Great scify, rom-com, campy, drinking game movie
Me and my wife enjoy watching Hallmark movies. We don't expect epic productions, with multimillion dollar graphics budgets. We understand fully what these movies are about. We enjoy them.
But this movie takes the Oscar for epic writing by the young adult category. Let me explain, while in some movies you may find errors like v8 sounds on Teslas or things that move from scene to scene. These errors happen, sometimes you can't afford multiple editors.
But here, this takes it to the next level, willingly. These actors really had to work hard at not laughing or crying. Having been placed in epic situations by some of the most epicly bad military command in history. They did great.
In this universe, the military command of well groomed, shampooed hair operations are ready to take on the bad guys. Soldiers are sent to remote special ops to dark bases which can only be reached by teleportation (or heli) once a year. Around Christmas. Our hero is determined to complete his mission.
The Army while claiming to be training some of the most hardened soldiers for WW3, seem to place critical infrastructure in random mountain places unlocked in trail cameras. While evading bears (or whatever is in these mountains) certainl radio signals are also lost. When one soldier crashes in the woods, since there is nobody equipped to find the soldiers in the epic snow storm, Army command decides to call in their best... From thousands .. of miles ...away. Time is of the essence. Or not. These poor soldiers stranded in a mountain that eats radio waves are most likely popsicles for wildlife by now. Our hero however, bending time and space gets there in 20 minutes. Hair intact having skipped his wedding.
To make it better, his soon to be wife also makes it there just to see them come back from the mountain rescue. The soldiers tired and limping from what looks like perhaps a pulled hamstring.
But when it comes to communication with soldiers, pay attention to the official Army command letter. The Army has a 10 year old with scissors sending out their special ops letters. Overall. This completes the trifecta for a great movie.
Get ready for a brain bending, drink inducing epic love story. This army of great hair special ops and his lonely, very lonely Christmas writer will keep you hooked through this epic Hallmark movie.
The Suicide Squad (2021)
Best DCU movie so far
Just an overall entertaining movie start to finish with creativity from start to end.
Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
Great movie. Didn't fix part two but that is OK
This one took me back to my childhood, over and over. Yes it had some forced scenes, unsorted plot lines and lots of sexual tension. Could have probably been two movies, BUT for all the flaws entertained I was and happy I was.
This is a great movie, for all those wishing it would go back in time and fix part two, or picking on it for it cramming too muxh are probably the type that watch old french movies and wear turtle necks. This is a science fiction flick. It's awesome.
Our Cartoon President (2018)
Good show, but could be funnier
It has some great visuals, some scenes are very well crafted. The satire is heavy, and Trump's likeness and caricature personality is captured well. No political figure is spared here. While Trump fans watch 5 minutes and get mad, they do poke fun at them all. Problem is that it doesn't quite flow like the family Guy. The writting could be a bit better, and while it deliveres funny scenes it can get old after a while. Not a bad show though and you will laugh your butt off at Trumpism's and Washington in general.
The Boys (2019)
Dark comedy with a super hero twist
Be prepared for an epic ride into a world where the super heros are damaged, selfish and even pure evil. Where the protagonists are also flawed in a quest to uncover the truth. This is what we were all thinking watching the Avengers. One of the best shows I've seen in a long time, almost GOT good.
Christmas with a View (2018)
Tesla's with V8s. Magic Steak.
Such a bad movie. It's actually funny. If you're playing drinking games. This is a 10. Drink when you spot the silly errors.
Waitress I ordered my steak rare...only problem there is no steak on the table.
Cell phones that are clearly off when you pretend to use them.
Tesla's with V8 sounds.
This one is just hilarious, we couldn't stop laughing.
