Message
From The King 2/10
I
watched this movie Message From The King on Netflix. I started
yesterday and finished today. It was a struggle. It stars Chadwick
Boseman aka Black Panther who gets a call from his sister in Los
Angeles needing help from him. He heads there and ends up finding out
that she is dead. She got mixed up with some bad drug dealers, bad
boyfriend, bad movie producers, bad bad men, and bad dentists. She
pretty much came to the city to die. He goes around beating the shit
out of everyone with a bike chain and moral support from a single
mother that gives blowjobs in a hotel room while her kid is at
school.
I'm
not sure that whoever directed this has ever been to LA. It was like
this super bad version of it. I'm not really sure why Boseman did
this movie. It was like they called and said “Hey, Chad, baby! You,
uh, you still got that accent? From Black Panther? Ukandan? Oh. Well,
it sounds South African-ish, right? No? Well, anyway, you want a paid
trip to LA to film a movie? Cool! See you there!” This movie was
ass and a half and not worth watching. Just don't. I'm not sure why
it was made.
Little
Evil 3/10
The
movie that was almost really cool. It was directed by the same guy
that did Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil. He is like an Edgar Wright-lite
the way he shoots things. This is about a guy that marries a woman
whose son may or may not be the Devil. He is. Or the Devil is his
father. The kid talks backwards, sits all close to the TV talking to
it, and does spooky things in general like talking his teacher into
jumping out of a window and impaling herself. He gets sent home from
school for this. The father wants to bond with him until the wedding
videographer shows the tornado that happened during the wedding where
shits flying everywhere but not even a hair on the boy, Lucas, head
is moving.
This
movie could have been way funnier but it felt like something was
holding it back. The acting was inconsistent as if some people were
in on the joke and others were not and some were far too over the top
even for a movie about a demon child. I would have liked if the
mother was in on the fact that her son was evil instead of making the
father just seem like an asshole. I get when they make parents
oblivious to certain things but this was too much. I also would've
liked more of the support group because when they show up to help at
the end it seemed rushed. Its a good movie to just have on in the
background but I wouldn't suggest this to anyone.
