It's got nothing to do with the animated show and comics I grew up loving and at the time when I saw it as a kid I didn't get why it was set on Earth and why Skeletor had a bunch of Stormtroopers, but these days having seen a couple of docs on the movie I get it and the film has a nostalgia quality to it, plus Frank Langella's Skeletor is absolute gold!

7/10
The movie holds up pretty well graphically, too. Caught a midnight viewing of it a few years back and it looked great on the big screen.

I'm surprised you haven't heard of it. I read the novel several years before the movie was made, so I was prepared for it. Throw out any ideas of Sellers doing anything remotely close to Inspector Clouseau. It's also a scathing commentary on those who speak in euphemisms not knowing plain speak when it hit's them up side the head.

Sounds a little bit like Mr Smith goes to Washington?

Agreed, the prosthetics work on Skeletor still looks on point as well, Langella is able to express himself through it brilliantly.

Don't Let Go


A high concept murder mystery that had some really good potential, but at the end of it feels more like a cop soap opera. It's similar to Deja Vu only David Oyelowo is in the future trying to solve the case and is communicating with Storm Reid who's is trying to fix the timeline in the past. It gets convoluted at times plus there's plenty of plot holes and has a ending you see coming a mile away. As for performances, it's kinda all over the place. David Oyelowo was pretty good, but Storm Reid doesn't have the range so a lot of the dialogue comes off like she was reading a script with a monotone voice. Brian Tyree Henry sadly gets like 5 minutes of screen time, but even with 5 minutes, he was able to deliver a great performance. Overall, it's got some major issues even though it has its moments.

Queen & Slim


Enjoyed it but didn't love it as I thought I would. It's a on-the-run thriller that essentially becomes the black version Bonnie & Clyde in 2019. It starts of very strong from the moment they had their date that went bad to the moment Daniel Kaluuya shoots a cop and are trying to find a way to escape. Melina Matsoukas does a great job in the first half of the movie with creating tension and anxiety that really works. The chemistry between Daniel Kaluuya and Jodie Turner-Smith really works because they are vastly different people when the movie starts. But I will say Bokeem Woodbine might be the most interesting character in the movie and chews the most scenery with the limited screentime he had. My biggest issue with the movie is the social commentary. They do a great job setting up themes about race and policing but the end results are really underdeveloped. Just like in the film, the story and themes runs out of gas and becomes pretty two dimensional at the very end. Overall, it's definitely worth seeing even though it's not near as great as it could be.

Knives Out


Loved it. It's a murder mystery whodunit that will for sure be a all time classic. Rian Johnson does a phenomenal job on creating a mystery that doesn't really hinge on the reveal but the journey getting there. I kinda figured out the twist/reveal early on but they do such a great job on making you second guess yourself. They also do a great job introducing everyone and their dynamics with each other. The giant star studded cast is what makes this movie work and the chemistry and acting from everyone is phenomenal and hilarious. Ana de Armas is easily the standout star of the movie and the one that carries the emotional weight of the story. There's some incredible directing by Rian Johnson and the cinematography was excellent. It's exactly the kind of crowd pleaser thriller that you want for Thanksgiving. Overall, it's definitely one of the best movies of the year.

Only in the sense that Sellers' character is in Washington DC and interacts with politicians.

It's a black comedy farce.....Sellers' character
(his name is Chance, and he is a gardener in some rich man's home) is a middle aged man with the mind of a six year old. When the rich old man dies, Chance is turned out on the street, with only a suitcase full of the rich old man's clothes, to fend for himself. Through an accident of circumstances, he meets a rich woman, who mistakes him for a wealthy cultured gentleman named Chauncey Gardener, who speaks euphemistically of "tending his garden". She and everyone else he speaks to interprets the garden talk to mean what they want it to mean. Everyone considers him a wise, deep old gentleman....and when the President of the United States quotes Chance on national TV, his life really gets complicated.

Beavis And Butt-Head Do America.
“We’re going to finally score!” This movie is laugh-out loud funny and as always Cornholio steals the show and that’s all the review you need.
