Everything's Going On (2022)

 

Alright so I am very lucky they re-released this because I nearly missed it.

And boy am I glad I didn't! I'd recommend going into this as blind as you can, just see it while you have the chance! If you do miss it, definitely catch it on streaming, it's well worth it.

That being said, I don't know if I'd recommend this to everyone, it's weird, like I thought this was great, but I can totally see some people hating it. It's super high concept, but it's silly, but serious, and you just have to fully buy in to have a good time with this.

But you should! It's totally worth it. Man it's hard to review this. I need a lie down.

Oh this is a 9/10. It's brilliantly written, directed and acted on a pretty small budget too. Everyone in this has their heart and soul in it.

SPOILERS EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK! ALL THE TIME! ALL AT ONCE!

So if you have a strained relationship with a parent you're guaranteed for a cry here, I can't massively relate to a lot of the stuff in this but it still hits hard.

I actually found the hardest hitting thing being the poor husband who really is viewed by his wife as this just total buffoon and idiot but in reality he knows things are hard, he just chooses to view the world through the lens that brings the most joy. I kinda love that, and I love when she appreciates that.

It's so so weird to review this movie because I'm saying it's hard hitting and emotional but it's also just SO SILLY. Like we have effectively a butt plug in a crucial fight scene and big dildos and it's just so wacky and strange at times (the hot dog finger world is deeply upsetting).

I'll say this- it's really cool seeing Laurie Strode in a bizarre role doing mad stuff. Jamie Lee Curtis has tons of personality and really is a great actress in the right roles. She's fantastic in this.

The whole cast is great to be honest, nobody half arses any of this. It feels like it was made with about £10 in budget but it's clearly not, it's so strange.

It's funny but kinda subtly funny as well, it's not like Marvel where it's like PAUSE FOR LAUGH, the funny stuff just happens and it's so surreal. Even the characters are like what is happening?!

The ending was kinda bittersweet right? Like it kinda implies the mam is still dimension hopping which is a sad end right? Strange stuff.

I honestly loved this, it's a great movie and more people need to see it. I wish I had more to say but it's such a whirlwind film my mind is just mush.

I need a lie down.

ALL THE MOVIES I SAW AND FORGOT TO REVIEW

Me when I should be writing reviews^ Alright I got a bit lazy and stopped writing reviews but I kinda wanna pick this up as it was a bit of a laugh and I’m still of to the cinema big time and seeing stuff so I’m gonna do a speed run reviewing all the stuff I’ve seen (that I can remember). Oppenheimer (2023) IT WAS LIT! He blew up a big bomb but then felt really bad about it. But I’m raging because beforehand people said you would see his dick and we didn’t see Oppenheimers dick. We did see some boobs and bums but I was promised his dick. 9/10. Barbie (2023) I sang I’m just Ken in the shower for a week. It was funny, well performed and well written. There was one rant that didn’t really land at one point, and there was no need for Will Ferrells character to exist in this movie. 8/10. Haunted Mansion (2023) Utterly forgettable, why didn’t you release this in October? 2/10. A Haunting in Venice (2023) I poo’d my pants! It was much better than someone’s bloody died on the Nile. I had fun a...

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Lokimania

  I called this review Lokimania which I now realise may be misleading, given the distinct lack of Loki, but you needed reminding to watch Loki, or at least refresh your little mind. This movie was the definition of MID in my opinion, more like bloody Ant Mid: QuantumMIDia. There was a couple of decent moments, one joke I enjoyed was at the end, but for the most part this movie is weirdly light on jokes. Oh I'm just gonna spoil this by the way, it's like a 6/10, it's just a movie. LITTLE ANT SPOILERS AHEAD Alright so Modok was weird right? With his little bum and massive head? I don't think I liked it! But I think that was the point? I dunno, that all was weird and his death was weird. Oh the one joke I liked was at the end when he was having this realisation like "wait is all this terrible stuff gonna happen... Nah it'll be fine". That was a good joke I liked it. I am being so lazy with this review but the movie was lazy too, it was just a movie, like it ...

69 (2023)

  Ok so disclaimer I watched this on a plane lol. But I promise I was locked in! Gave it my full attention and didn't let my opinion be affected by the actual human shit that was my in-flight meal. Okay so bloody ages ago, an alien humanoid species (just humans tbh) do some travelling about and Adam Driver is one of them but then oh no they got asteroided out of space and crash land on earth but Christ on a bike it's during dinosaur times. It was really nice to watch a film about dinosaurs without Jurassic being in the title, I'm gonna start there. Adam Driver and a young girl (not his daughter) are the only survivors. His real daughter is dead, which is sad. It's also sad that Adam Driver is a bit stressed in this film for all of it, bloody dinosaurs all over the place, pricks. The young girl is annoying but real young girls are annoying so I guess that's a good acting job? She also doesn't speak English, so has a hard time communicating with ol' Adam. Adam...
