Spoiler It's during the scene where Mary and Stack are going to have sex after she was turned into a vampire. He tells her she is drooling, she asks if he wants some, he says yes and she spits in his mouth while on top of him. Just hell no.
Happy Gilmore 2 I wanted to like it more than I did. The first film is probably my favorite comedy of all time, and maybe my favorite movie, period. But I feel like the sequel fell into a very easy trap for this kind of film: it relied too heavily on cameos and callbacks to the first film. Unlike the first film, I feel like this one got a little too caught up in plot, and some of the jokes fell flat to me. And I know that we should probably expect the main character to be more mature when he is 30 years older, but the fact that he was (when he wasn't drinking) made the sequel lose a lot of the charm of the original to me. But there were still laughs to be had. I thought that John Daly, in particular, was great in every scene that he was in. I also like what the writers did with Shooter McGavin. There was a sense too that the cast was having a grand time making the movie and paying homage to the first one, so that was a definite plus. It could have been better but it's definitely worth watching, especially given the dearth of good comedies that have been made since the mid-2000s. 5.5/10
I’d just add it to the list of long awaited sequels that didn’t land. Like you said relied on rehashing old jokes too much. A pitfall of most of these movies. Most of the new jokes and characters just don't work. Not his worst work, worth watching if you are a fan of the first, but Id be surprised if I ever put the energy into watching it again.
I thought it was fine. Not good, not bad. A little phoned in writing-wise. I think he’s just trying to get his daughters in more movies.
28 Years Later I enjoyed the first movie. I was pretty excited about the trailer. I came out of it feeling a little mixed. There were some undeniably good parts including some very tense moments, and I very much enjoyed the realistic storyline where the kid Spoiler: DO NOT CLICK THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE is trying to save his mother, only to find out that it's cancer and she can't be saved. It felt weighty and like a real journey of understanding life and how to hold onto the memory of the people we lose. Some of the "zombie" action scenes were excellent and tense. On the other hand, there were a few somewhat nonsensical/unexplored parts that got weird. Like the dad Spoiler cheating on his wife/the mother. This seemed to be dismissed too easily as a villain move and could have had a much more thoughtful reflection about how difficult that situation must be. Even just a dad/son conversation would have helped, and even if the rest of the plot didn't change. But instead we got the simplistic "braggart" scene to build up that he might be a tiny bit of a dick, then the cheating, then the kid just writing him off. It could have been such a great tie-in to how people handle grief given the subsequent meeting with the doctor. Also I thoroughly disliked the ending. I know it's supposed to be leading into a third movie. I didn't like it, and thought it was silly and cheap and it really hurts the movie when that's the final impression. Still liked it and would recommend it. I just thought it fell short of what it could have been.
Based on internet chatter, I thought the new Superman movie was going to suck. But we decided to give it a shot. Im glad we did, because I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Weapons Like Longlegs from last year, here we have a great combination of a minimalistic-but-brilliant ad campaign, combined with an original idea for a horror film. This one is a VERY original idea— it spins a tale around a half dozen imperfect lives caught up in this tragedy of missing kids, but does it in such a compelling way that for the first entire reel of the film you forget it’s a horror film— before it cuts loose in grand style. Well-acted, well-written horror that doesn’t wallow in jump-scares (but delivers a couple of great ones) before cutting loose in a hysterical and unforgettable climax. A sometimes funny, bittersweet and serpentine horror- mystery. The best movie of the year so far. 9/10 The Naked Gun I didn’t expect this to be as funny as the original, which might be the funniest movie of all time. I just wanted it to be funny and not try to cram any “message” down my throat. It was funny enough. The only “message” it tried to convey is that everything sucks now, which isn’t pretentious. Danny Huston is shockingly all-in as a hilarious villain, and the “fake room” gag and Dave Bautista’s cameo were especially hilarious . It was good to laugh in a movie theatre again. I just wish there was more screwball comedy and less around the dialogue of the characters. 7.5/10
