What did you super awesome people watch this week? (08/21-08/27) CLOSED
I can’t say I had a super awesome week movie wise. Let’s see what we got:
The day after tomorrow (2004 TV): The main thing I enjoyed from this was the funny moments. As involuntary as they might have been, it was funny to me. Jake Gyllenhall was good but the rest of the cast was so-so. My rating: 5/10
Good burger (1997 Netflix): Watched this with my boys and Good Lord this movie is dumb!! As dumb as a dumb bun. The acting is as cheesy as, well, a cheeseburger I guess. But hey, don’t hate on me, it has that extra nostalgia factor for me and the second half is much better so lettuce enjoy it please. What’s actually the most shocking is how good Kev Mitchell looks as a girl. Ha! My rating: 6/10
Chicago (2002 TV): Probably as far as we can get from my comfort zone movie wise but I managed to enjoy so that’s a feat. What I hate from most musicals is how the talking suddenly stops to make place to ridiculous singing but it this one, the singing and talking are melting together to form a smoothly flowing whole. I found it sharp, fun and cleverly shot. Plus Renée Zellweger was a real hoot. But you know what, it would have been better if we could have seen 🩸. My rating: 7/10
The number 23 (2007 TV): I Love Jim Carey, I think Schumacher makes good films, my birthday is on the 23rd, I always loved that number, almost got it on my tattoo but erased it from the drawing last minute… yet, I hate this movie. I was 22 when it came out, 23 when I first watched it. I was so excited when I rented it! I was so disappointed when I watched it. 15 years later, I give it another chance and nope, it’s just bad. The script sucks, it looks awful and Jim Carey acts like a rookie. My rating: 3.2/10
The perfect storm (2000 TV): Probably one of the best “fishing” movie I’ve ever seen. As for a “storm” movie, it’s up there too. I remembered parts of it but was fun to revisit. I think I actually saw it in the theatre back then. My rating: 7/10
The Incredible Hulk (2008 Netflix): This was at least my 3rd attempt at watching this film. It always was just a question of bad timing and me eventually getting disinterested with it. Now I finally gave it its chance. Although it was (as I predicted it from the start)a bit peculiar for me to see Norton, one of my favourite actors, playing the Hulk, I did manage to enjoy some aspects of this flick. Can’t say it’s great, can’t say it’s bad. My rating: 6/10
Preacher S3 ep 1-2-3-4: I find it to be a soft start, slow and going with moderation, instead of full on batshit-crazy. It keeps things interesting though. The relationships are becoming more complex but in the end, all we want is for our three friends to get along with each other. It’s not fun when Jesse and Cass are fighting :(.
