The Review: Tom & Jerry (2021)

Tom & Jerry 8/10

Why the fuck was this movie so good? I watched Tom & Jerry yesterday and before I did I wanted them not to talk. That's pretty much it. I know they weren't gonna have the crazy ass violence from the old cartoons with tails being chopped off and being set on fire but just wanted them not to talk and if there were humans for them to be interesting. Turns out I got what I wanted. I didn't watch the trailer so I was surprised when it was mixed in with the real world. And I have to mention the fact that the music used in this movie was fucking incredible. It starts with Tribe Called Quest. There's some fucking Jodeci in it. We were like “Whoever did this has to be Black!” If not they deserve the highest of fives.

The Review: I Care A Lot

I Care A Lot 1/10

This movie is pure ass and this review will be full of spoilers. You can stop reading now if you want. This is going to be about me being upset at such a trash movie and later finding out that the star was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance in it. The whole award season stuff is going to have to be a post on its on its own. This is about a con artist named Marla who uses the legal system to grant her guardianship over people. She will work with doctors and others to say “You can't take care of yourself and I now control your life” and immediately start draining all their assets personally and put them in a care facility that she is also working with to keep them alive and get their money. She is a garbage person and not likable in any way but she is the star so its confusing. As I watched this with L. I kept saying and thinking “There has to be someone to cheer for.” I mean the movie begins with a guy trying to see his mother in a facility and being arrested for doing so and losing in court. He spits in Marla's face which is a murderable offense in my eyes but still. She trash.

The Review: 30 Coins

30 Coins 9/10

Random ass spoilers. Hey. Wanna watch a series that will make you yell, scream, curse, and consider grabbing a bible? I got just the show for you. 30 Coins also known as 30 Monedas is a series that was produced in Spain and it shows because they be having some honked up stuff over there. Actually, for as much trash as folks talk about how violent American movies are we are by far the least violent. If you ever watch a horror movie with subtitles you're gonna see things that make Final Destination look like Blue's Clues. After I was finished I found out that every episodes was directed and written by Álex de la Iglesia who did Day Of The Beast which I saw almost ten years ago and that film was fucked up. I know it sounds like I might be trying to talk you out of watching this but I'm not. I just don't watch much horror so when I do it involves a lot of me adding new things to a list of experiences I never want to have.

Documentality: There's No I In Threesome

There Is No I In Threesome 3/10

I have had two people I know that have seen this and after reading some of what one of them wrote I decided to watch this knowing that I couldn't write this like one of my normal reviews. So what I'm gonna do is just write my reactions as I watch this.

I hope they ain't fucking on this diving board.

Wait. They butt ass naked with Go-Pros on their heads? For what? The hell are these people doing? Just jump you weirdos. That water would shoot right up your assholes.

Documentality: The Lady And The Dale

The Lady And The Dale 8/10

I decided to watch this four part docu-series The Last And The Dale just because I saw the car in the poster and knew it from when I was a kid. It was this weird ass three wheeled car so I thought “Oh, this is about some woman that made it or something.” Holy shit. It was about so much more than that. As soon as I started watching my Spider Sense started tingling when Elizabeth Carmichael showed up. I won't spoil this series because I want people to go into it blind. That's what I did and what I have been telling people to do. This is about the car, the life of a criminal, gender issues, the law, family, and prison. Just so much stuff! I liked that Carmichael was a criminal but also a loving parent and both sides of that were shown. This wasn't like some series where the family is involved so it paints the person as a victim and ignores all the wrong they did. This one was like “Yeah, you all may have loved and cared for her but she is a thief and criminal!” I would have rated this even higher but the use of animated cut outs too often would yank me out of the story. Check this out on HBO Max.

The Review: Judas And The Black Messiah

Judas And The Black Messiah 9/10

This movie was incredible. I heard about Judas And The Black Messiah and the cast really made me wanna check this out. I sadly did not and still do not know much about the history of the Black Panther party. I have heard things and seen films about them but didn't know enough. This is the story of Fred Hampton and the Chicago chapter of the Black Panther's and the FBI using a mole named Bill O'Neal to go undercover and feed them information in the hopes of stopping them. You have no idea how mad I was watching this knowing that O'Neal was dirty. This guy was the definition of selfish. He got arrested after stealing a car and to trim time off his sentence started using bugs, lies, and even trying to give the group damn super weapons to get them arrested. Other than the fact that Hampton was trying to do some good and paid for it with his life I was shocked at how influential he was at such a young age. He was killed at just the age if 21 which is fucking bananas to me. Great acting, music, directing, and story. Check this out on HBO Max which is by far one of the best channels right now. I'm not saying too much about it because I want folks to watch this.

Best Series Of 2020

Movies were too ass last year. I saw the least amount of new movies in 2020 than I ever have so there will be no Best Movies Of The Year. On the other hand TV was kicking all kinds of ass and I haven't even finished watching everything that I want to. So here is a list with links of all my favorite shows from last year.

The Review: The Little Things

The Little Things 8/10

Lots of spoilers likely. A few days ago I watched the movie The Little Things on HBO Max. I was so excited to see this because of the cast and really liked it because it was such a dark ass movie. It felt like something from the 90's or early 2000's which it turns out makes sense as that was when it was written. One night this girl is driving and happy so I knew something bad was gonna happen. This car starts speeding towards her and then stopping. She gets spooked and runs for help at a gas station but no one is there. She ends up running away until she makes her way to the road and a trucker stops and helps her. Later deputy sheriff Joe “Deke” Deacon (definitely written in the 90's) is sent from Kern County to Los Angeles to get some evidence from a recent murder. When he shows up everyone is either dodging him like he's on fire or trying to talk to him when no one is looking. I found out later why and it makes a shit ton of sense. This dude is toxic.
