I'm glad Hollywood finally wised up and let the native people have their say because most of the shows and movies they've been a part of are great. From reservation dogs to dark winds. Obviousy this show isn't at those previously mentioned levels but it's still the best marvel show I've seen, besides obviously legion which is an entire sperate thing as the most overlooked greatest show of all time. Anyways it's really nice seeing all the actors pop up from the other shows. And how amazing is it that the lead had a part that was just waiting for her life to fit into? I hope the native streak continues and i hope that this and reservation dogs gets released on blu ray because it'd be a shame to all the people that want to own it on the reservations and elsewhere.

Brie larson is great
9 February 2024
As always she was acting her ass off and I hope she's in more things because she really brings another level to it. That said the pace of this movie is so weird it starts at a jog and never really calms down anywhere. I'm not sure why people were surprised a black director made a black movie, but racism exists and you have to ignore that. Honestly there were some cool ideas and it was mostly well acted. It just had weird pacing and yeah i think it would really help if the movies broke up and became their own thing again so they weren't telling just a part of a story. It's nice to watch a movie and feel like it accomplished something. To feel in the middle of something definitely isn't as satisfying.
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off
(2023)
The movie was perfect.
18 November 2023
This was never going to be the movie, but it's great to see the cast come back and explore their characters a bit more. Honestly the biggest issue is the amimation especially the out of focus parts that are hard to look at. Otherwise this is one of the best things Netflix has ever put out and i really hope it gets a blu ray release at some point. Otherwise just relax, it was never going to be the movie. And why would you want the same thing over again when we have a different take with most of the original cast in something no one ever really saw coming. Honestly such a cool surpise that hopefully gets a better animation budget next time. So many cool cameos and nods to the movie too.
Blue Beetle
(2023)
Funny and has heart
18 November 2023
Dc movies regain their status as better and funnier after the flash disaster we won't revisit. Glad things are back on track and let's hope they stay that way. I wish the swears were translated more so i could learn more spanish. But either way it was also nice seeing a super hero movie take on important subjects like war and poverty and gentrification. I will defintely be buying this at some point when the 4k blu ray isn't thirty dollars as it's definitely worth a rewatch. Enjoy it. It's a good family movie too as long they're old enough to hear swears. The lead did a great job and all the new comers did. Also George lopez killed it.
Not for kids
1 September 2023
They did a great job of capturing the weirdness of the original series but it's a depressed and miserable version. We used to watch adventure time as an escape to laugh and feel joy. This is show is just depressing and it's a shame. The world is bad enough to have our escapism turned into depressing things is just another bummer to add to the list. Infact to have the show itself say that the old adventure time can't help anymore is ridiculous. Just wanted to put a warning out there amongst all the 10/10 reviews this isn't the same as the show you loved. It's a weird different bummer version. Good luck.
Unseen

There's a lot of bad horror movies
31 August 2023
This isn't one of them. Honestly all the bad to subpar reviews are people that don't appreciate an original and well done movie with likeable characters. Sometimes blumhouse produces bad stuff. This is one of the best blumhouse things I've seen. I really hope it gets a physical release as it's something i would definitely watch again. Horror is something that easily gets cheesy but everyone in this did a great job acting. It might seem like a crazy concept but it was so well done i look forward to more from this cast and crew. Definitely a highlight this year. Hope it's not overlooked it doesn't deserve to be.
Ignore the racists
6 August 2023
The unfortunate reality is this place let's anyone review and sometimes bad people get to have their say. If you are a tranformers fan you will enjoy this. It's a different take with enough familiar elements. The ending is the best part. Look i don't even like Pete Davidson his part was will written enough that he did a decent job. So please ignore the racists and enjoy this movie. It's still transformers and it still has the Michael Bay feel of the other ones. But it adds some new elements. Now i have to make this longer so it meets the requirements. Don't let the racists win. Hating people for uncontrollable reasons is ridiculous.
Thor: Love and Thunder
(2022)
The hate is not warranted
24 July 2023
I'm not sure why everyone hates on this movie. There are so many terrible mediocre or less marvel movies out there. Thor movies have consistently been better than most of the other marvel movies and have only gotten better each time. The actors are all at the top of their game in this. A couple jokes are weird and there wasn't enough Kat but otherwise to witness such emotion given in such a short time is wonderful. The use of color is excellent too. After watching all the recent marvel movies to catch up i saved this one for last and was so glad i did. It was like a breath of fresh air on a sunny day. This isn't just a marvel movie it's a great film.
Watcher
(I) (2022)
The directors v/h/s segment
18 July 2023
Was the best one in that movie. This movie is such a throwback. And maybe modern audiences can't deal with all the build up but i thought it was really well done. Everyone is humanized which is rare in any movie but especially horror. This movie is perfect for a rainy dark night. You get a lot of interesting characters. I hope to see more from this director and cast as this was really well done. The reviews have to be a certain length now so here you go. Thanks for reading i hope you enjoy it. Have a good day. A good night. A good week. Glad they pressed this on blu ray. Long live physical formats.
Steven Universe
(2013–2019)
Such a great show
29 June 2023
Not just for kids at all. Honestly it's positive vibe is the best part. But it has so many great messages about love and life. Steven universe future gets really stressful so prepare yourself for that. But it's such a nice well made show. When you don't have time ten minute shows are the best. A quick sweet story before you go to bed. Some episodes end on such cliffhangers you have to watch the next. But I'm glad i saw this as an adult because it has so many adult themes that would go over many a children's head. Although obviously kids will enjoy it too. So don't feel like it's not appropriate for them.
The most emotional thing I've ever seen.
27 June 2023
Seriously you will run through a gamut of emotions watching this. It's undeniable the amount of positivity that jim henson and his friends put forth into this world. Caroll spinney being one of the most important of them. You can see that this man puts out pure love into the world. Even if you aren't a sesame street fan or muppets fan, which i don't know who you are, you should watch this. It'll reach into all of your soul ans make you smile and cry and wish this man were still alive putting greatness out into the world. He is missed but luckily the impact that he made can only assure us that there is more good in the world thanks to him.

Why are coming of age stories always so good?
27 June 2023
Is it the constant relateability? I'm not sure but so many movies and shows that are coming of age are well done. To be fair there are plenty of bad ones too but this is not one of them. Boots riley plays with our creature comforts that we're exposed to every day. He wants you to see the familiarity as what's wrong but at the same time he celebrates it. I'm only a couple episodes in but what's clear is the lead actors are what make this show. Sure it's got some weird characters. If you didn't like soery to bother you check this out as it's a step up for sure. My parents liked the first episode but got lost on the second. It's a show about a giant it's not grounded in reality. But the ties to reality keep the heart of it.
Cyrano
(2021)
Eloquent
27 June 2023
This movie is so well written. And beautiful at many points. I wasn't surprised to see the director had made atonement. In a time if tons of mindless stuff with horrible humor being churned out it was nice to induldge in the intellectual. Glen hansard was also a nice surprise. Having him sing in your movie is always a great choice. Not only that but he had great acting chops too! In a time where it seems like movies like this aren't made anymore this was a welcome surprise. It does drag a little but other than that it's a great addition to this cast and crew's repertoire. Hope you brushed up on your vocabulary because it is a treat the use of words in this.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods

Are people expecting too much?
27 June 2023
I mean marvel seems to churn out some terrible stuff and people give it the highest prasies. This movie is funny and bright. It's what we need in these times. And so few things are actually funny anymore. So i really want to applaud everyone invloved in making something funny that isn't dark. I have been following this director since his excellent short film lights out. And i have to say i haven't been disappointed yet. I'm glad he and this wonderful cast get to continue making movies. He may have started in darkness but it's the light that keeps us all going. Thank you for that. Thanks to everyone involved.
Champions
(2023)
Aside from some stupid jokes
27 June 2023
It is a heart warming wonderful movie. My only other complaint is woody harrelson is clearly way too high most of the time. I get it, it was filmed during the pandemic but dude lay off the weed it's starting to effect your performance. And it's a disservice to the rest of your cast and crew. Speaking of which I'm always glad to see my fellow rhode islanders making funny and positive movies. The industry doesn't greenlight enough of these movies. And just like modern people need to learn inclusivity breeds better things. This movie would not be what it is without it's wonderful cast. Even playing fields for all.
Flamin' Hot
(2023)
A great story to inspire us all
27 June 2023
I hope this movie is getting the attention it deserves. It's such a great story and I'm so glad to see eva longoria do such a great job directing and I'm glad they cast some regular looking people. Honestly everyone should see this movie as it's a light in our dark world. I think it could even help some ignorant people see that we are all just people. What are the chances of that happening? I'm not sure but there's hope that it could. It shouldn't be a niche market. Just like flamin hot snacks. This movie is for everyone. And in the days of cancelled everything. It seems like a rare gem. Enjoy it.
Prisoners of the Ghostland
(2021)
An escape from reality
27 June 2023
In the modern times an escape from reality is sometimes much needed. This movie is that. It is so absurd and ridiculous your brain can't help but escape from everything as it struggles to understand what is possible going on. Is it a great movie? I'm not sure. But it doesn't matter. It succeeds in bringing you out of reality for the entirety if it's run time and that in itself is a difficult accomplishment. There's plenty wrong both morally and every way else. But let your brain escape the horrors of modern day and enjoy the madness that is this film. Even cage says it's the wildest thing he's ever done.
Baymax!
(2022)
The best Disney plus show
27 June 2023
Why did they only make this so short? I don't mind ten minute shows as they are great when you are busy. This show is pixar at it's best. Catering to one of the favorite characters baymax. The world needs more baymax he is funny and kind and pure. No offense to the other characters at all. But without baymax the entire big hero six franchise would be lost. It just wouldn't be the same. So in the era of cancellation and consolidation. Please greenlight as many baymax things as possible and please release everything on 4k bluray. Thank you for this show. Hoping you make more. And more. And more.
The Muppets Mayhem
(2023)
The muppets show we needed
27 June 2023
Muppets now was great but was way too choppy and forcing an old horse to do new tricks. We wanted the old horse. The muppets are timeless. As seen in this show we're reminded as to why we should just let the people involved in the muppets do their thing and not force outside perspectives on it. I hope the muppets continue down this path as having some of the puppeteers invloved in writing has greatly improved things. I liked muppets now but it seemed more like a youtube video. This feels more like a show and i look forward to all the muppet shows and movies that can be made. Jim hensons vision lives on through his friends.
M3GAN
(2022)
Don't let the beginning stop you from watching
27 June 2023
It starts out with some weird jokes and unlikeable characters. But don't give up. It builds into a great horror movie with a warning about artificial intelligence. Also if you've never seen housebound you need to it's even better than this. I'm looking forward to the director getting to make more original things after the success of this movie. Obviously m3gan 2.0 is the next project. But if you haven't seen housebound please do. I really wish they didn't make the reviews have to be so long i used to like short and sweet ones as to not waste peoples time thanks for reading. I hope you enjoy the movie.
Significant Other
(2022)
The best film they've made
21 April 2023
This is the most down to earth and real film these directors have made. Jake lacy steals the show with incredible emotion and well delievered comedy. I really hope it comes out on blu ray because i want to own it. My parents even liked it and they don't like horror. So if the bad reviews had you thinking twice give it a shot and you'll be surprised. Since reviews on here have to be so long I'll keep saying please release this on blu ray or the very least dvd. Really 4k would be the best. It's a shame they're discontinuing physical media and would rather have you pay per month forever and never own anything.
Willy's Wonderland
(2021)
Much more watchable than it should be
15 October 2022
It is low budget and weird. Yet you might end up watching the whole thing. Even nic never utters one word. Maybe that was the draw for him. To do a movie where he didn't have to remember any lines at all. It's a fun and funny movie. With minimal dark humor. Why do these reviews have to be so long now? Seriously it's unnecessary to make reviews this long. You can get to the point without this many characters. If you're looking for a fun stupid horror movie this is a good one. Also it's a good action movie too. You'll see why and that'll be one of the main reasons you'll want to rewatch it too. Enjoy.
Halloween Ends
(2022)
The best one yet
14 October 2022
Honestly it should be the end of halloween. It was such a creative and original take. There's plenty of unexpected things that happen. And there's so many things that honor the originals. Let's be honest there was some bad movies in the franchise. I like to hate anything at all. I really don't like to talk trash but there were some that shouldn't have been made. This movie was so well done. If you like the other two you'll really like this. If you didn't like the other two give this a shot because it's so different and it's so nice to see something fresh and different nowadays. Thanks for making this.
Sing 2
(2021)
Such a great movie
23 August 2022
Don't be turned away thinking this is just a kids movie. It's not. The animation alone is great. But the positive vibes and uplifting story are everything we need after going through this pandemic. Thanks for this movie we needed it.
