You Only Live TwiceTHE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH: Last time we got a remake of a remake when You Only Live Twice became The Spy Who Loved Me became Tomorrow Never Dies. And here we go again as Goldfinger became A View To A Kill became The World Is Not Enough, another plot involving a powerful individual with a vast quantity of something valuable, and they wanna blow up everyone elseās supply of the valuable thing in order to make their valuable thing even more valuable.However this time instead of a fatso or a nazi-freak baby, we get a spoiled-patricidal heiress, who is also sexy as f, Elektra King, A real man-eater. This is it everybody, this may be the ultimate James Bond villain. A woman, a delicious harpy-succubus-foul-temptress of a woman that no man, let alone international ladies man Bond James Bond, can resist. Good thing Bond has another sexy babe on his side to slap back. Oh, and thereās also Christmas Jones, a nuclear physicist who aināt afraid to be sassy, but appears to be absolutely terrified of sports bras.GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379BOND MOVIE COLLECTION: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPTWINE MOVIE: https://amzn.to/3qYQi4u or https://amzn.to/3x2Xf8sTWINE NOVELIZATION: https://amzn.to/3u1S86sTWINE SOUNDTRACK: https://amzn.to/3u25lMCIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooe*EON Productions Limited and Danjaq LLC are wholly owned and controlled by the Wilson/Broccoli family.

Or because we want to be entertained? Well I welcome you to Die Another Day McF***Face, where thinking hard is verboten. You donāt just have to turn your brain off to watch this movie, you have to have a literal laser lobotomy.Starting out somewhat strong, the film takes us on a unique journey for 007 as we follow him on a torturous run through a North Korean prison camp, followed by a daring escape from the very government that disavowed him, right into a quest for revenge against the OHMSS agent that betrayed him to the Koreans in the first place. What an intriguing setup, we canāt wait to see what happens next!Support the show by using these affiliate links:GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379GET ALL THE BOND MOVIES HERE: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPGET DAD MOVIE HERE: https://amzn.to/3ASvzDp or https://amzn.to/3RobITwGET DAD NOVELIZATION HERE: https://amzn.to/3BjocXdGET DAD SOUNDTRACK HERE: https://amzn.to/3cO8QjO or https://amzn.to/3TQsa0KIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooe*Movie Poster by Sean Longmore: https://www.etsy.com/shop/SeanLongmoreDesign?ref=profile_header*Music by bensound.com*Song: 007 James Bond - Eleven Music No CopyrightMusic provided by Eleven Music.Video Link: https://youtu.be/Zv-hLHFQSCU#jamesbond007

Die Another Day https://youtu.be/OrsKyDE8l-A22. You Only Live Twice https://youtu.be/uoEfmdIEzRISKYFALL is a frustrating movie and itās a particularly difficult one for me to RANK, because precisely one half of me loves it, while the other half f***ing hates it.The guys who wrote The World Is Not Enough are back to once again give Bond a shoulder injury that hardly has any bearing on the plot while they try their best to remake GoldenEye, the story of an older and (according to other characters in the film) washed up James Bond who faces his equal but opposite, his shadow, an ex-00 agent named Silva who just like Alec Trevelyan heads up his own criminal enterprise taking on missions for cash instead of for king and country.However, where GoldenEye had the advantage of coming on the heels of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War (the very reason the 00 program was instituted in the first place), Skyfall has what? The Internet? Does that mean war and threats from rogue states and the necessity of maintaining boots on the ground is suddenly outdated? The whole argument is that the shadows donāt exist anymore, which is absurd because this movie takes place ten years after 9/11.Itās all meant to give the impression that this movie is super smart and meaningful, which perhaps it is in part, Iāll definitely give it good bad guy status, but simultaneously it is by far the most annoyingly contrived and self-aggrandizing Bond film to date, which weāll get into in excruciating detail by tearing apart the plot, and when it crumbles, we will stand tall and face it all, together.Support the show by using these affiliate links:ā BUG-A-SALT: https://amzn.to/3Cya379š All the BOND MOVIES: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPš„ SKYFALL MOVIE: https://amzn.to/3TUMnotš§ SKYFALL SOUNDTRACK: https://amzn.to/48sRvVcš« If you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooeOur individual channels:Charles: https://www.youtube.com/@Flavorful_Chunt https://www.youtube.com/@FilmHackerMcCurdy: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmccurdy9423Nanz: https://www.youtube.com/@hiro5449šØ James Bond Movie Poster by Sean Longmore: https://www.etsy.com/shop/SeanLongmoreDesign?ref=profile_headerš¹ MUSIC:*Spy On: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paP4KftK-vE*Song: 007 James Bond - Eleven Music No CopyrightMusic provided by Eleven MusicVideo Link: ā¢ 007 James Bond Theme - Eleven Music N... *Dark TensionMusic: Black Hole by Soundridemusic Link to Video: ā¢ NoCopyright Dark Tension Trailer Back... #jamesbond007 #skyfall #danielcraig #sammendes #ianfleming #jamesbondranked #martincampbell #jamesbondmoviesranked #jamesbondmovies #goldeneye

The visual effect is of such a high quality that at times I felt I had the suspension of disbelief of a child. But thatās all just a cherry on top. Down at ground level is a story that leaves nothing to be desired. Among other things itās the tale of one manās struggle to rid himself of his survivorās guilt following the Japanese armyās defeat after World War II.On a larger scale the story is a metaphor for post-WWII Japanās fear of a loss of cultural identity to the looming threat of American influence and power done in the most Japanese way possible with a giant city-destroying monster and crowds of people running away screaming. Even if thatās not really your thing or youāve never seen a single Godzilla movie you can and should still check it out because this movie brings it on every level.āSupport the show by using these affiliate links:ā GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379šGET ALL THE BOND MOVIES HERE: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPāIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooeāOur individual channels:Charles: https://www.youtube.com/@Flavorful_Chunt https://www.youtube.com/@FilmHackerMcCurdy: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmccurdy9423

Knights of the ZodiacThe Killer is about an assassin who for the first time botches a job and has to deal with the consequences. Throughout the film we see how meticulous this man is in the planning and execution of his work. We see his seemingly unlimited resources and false identities put to use internationally while he fills in the downtime with voiceover of his murder wisdom and nihilistic philosophy.All of this would be great if there was a story attached because this is a film weāre talking about, not a TV show, but thatās exactly what it feels like in the end, a very good pilot episode of a TV series meant to establish a main character. It feels like an introduction with no followup, like a series of events that suddenly ends.A person has to be killed and the killer kills them with little to no trouble. He even complains early on about the lack of creativity in his latest gigs. One would expect this to herald the coming of some exciting and unique killing sequences, but no. Just about everybody gets shot with a gun after a bit of stalking so we really never see his killing skills at their best, even after things get personal. Needless to say this is one leaves a lot to be desired.Support the show by using these affiliate links:GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379GET ALL THE BOND MOVIES HERE: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooeOur individual channels:Charles: https://www.youtube.com/@Flavorful_Chunt https://www.youtube.com/@FilmHackerMcCurdy: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmccurdy9423

Knights of the ZodiacNapoleon focuses almost exclusively on Mr. Bonaparteās relationship with his hussy wife Josephine, and not so much on painting the portrait of a small statured military genius turned emperor that conquered most of Europe, you know, a topic of absolute fascination. This makes it a frustrating movie, because itās not like it needed to be ALL guts and glory, but did it have to be mostly simping and cuckery?Perhaps this would have worked if there was any spark between these two characters, but the movie makes it difficult to care about two people that mostly stare at each other blankly and then go cheat on one another, especially when the filmmakers fail to properly connect those story threads to his military motivations. So even if that was the point it still falls flat.And I mostly blame Joaquin Phoenix who is horribly miscast. At this point in his career heās too much of a wild card to have the discipline for a role like this. That which made him perfect for movies like Joker or The Master makes him a liability in this historical drama, hence people laughing at inappropriate times in my theater.Frankly, the movie is a damn mess. It tries to be funny when it should be serious. Itās too stale when it should be romantic, and all of the interesting historical plot points are glanced over in favor of flatline Josephine. Prepare to be underwhelmed and let down.Support the show by using these affiliate links:GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379GET ALL THE BOND MOVIES HERE: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooeOur individual channels:Charles: https://www.youtube.com/@Flavorful_Chunt https://www.youtube.com/@FilmHackerMcCurdy: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmccurdy9423

Knights of the ZodiacThe Holdovers is what they call an āinstant classic.ā Itās what people are talking about when they say āthey donāt make āem like they used to.ā Itās one of those snapshot of life, full range of emotion type of movies that keeps you hooked from beginning to end because the story flows as naturally as a stream as opposed to the artificial canal of formulaic story structure. Itās nostalgic without being forceful. Itās hilarious in a subtle, very down-to-earth way. And itās never more melancholic or dramatic than it needs to be.Itās everything that Wes Anderson movies used to be, before he left reality for his quirkily filmed stage-plays. Instead, this movie reads like a classic American novel, with a limited cast and setting and by the end you fully understand (and therefore love) each character because they ARE real people trapped in the tragic shortcomings of real life where the losers lose while watching the winners win and making the best of it regardless.Therefore itās not triumphant. Itās not even particularly heartfelt or inspiring. Hardly anything changes from beginning to end, other than a greater understanding and connection between a small group of disparate people. And to that end, it is beautiful.Support the show by using these affiliate links:GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379GET ALL THE BOND MOVIES HERE: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooeOur individual channels:Charles: https://www.youtube.com/@Flavorful_Chunt https://www.youtube.com/@FilmHackerMcCurdy: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmccurdy9423

Knights of the ZodiacTalk to Me is a refreshing take on the possession genre, taking the essence of an exorcism or seance movie and reducing it to an immature party drug allegory. The premise is so captivating and terrifying that the film doesnāt need to rely on jump scares, of which I donāt recall there being a single oneāthe mark of a true horror movie.Instead the horror comes when you realize the complete lack of reverence that the young party kid cast has for discovering a method of communicating with spirits of the dead. Instead of falling to their knees and repenting to God having found proof of the afterlife, they film each other freaking out, not under the influence of drugs and alcohol, but under the influence of these ghosts they willingly allow into their bodies. The kids eventually become addicted to the act, including the dopamine hit from carelessly posting these videos online. The horrific thing is that nobody is afraid of the horrific thing happening right before their eyes and iPhones.This of course reflects the age we live in, where nothing is too sacred to post and everyone seems keen to take a video of someone in distress rather than step in and help them out. Carelessly conjuring fiendish spirits for the almighty click is a terrifying glance at how the pursuit of digital attention is slowly but surely dehumanizing and desensitizing all of us digital addicts as we communicate exclusively through our devices instead of face to face, hence the brilliance of the title.Support the show by using these affiliate links:GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379GET ALL THE BOND MOVIES HERE: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooeOur individual channels:Charles: https://www.youtube.com/@Flavorful_Chunt https://www.youtube.com/@FilmHackerMcCurdy: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmccurdy9423

Knights of the ZodiacFive Nights at Freddyās is a mediocre attempt to adapt a seemingly unadaptable video game, which is about a guy working a security job at a Chuck E. Cheese-like establishment, only to realize that the seemingly friendly android mascots have a murderous will of their own.Upside: the actualized look of Freddyās androids is great.Downside: nearly everything else.Because when it comes to the story, it feels like they wrote a draft or two at the most and then decided to go straight into production. Half the runtime is about this security guy trying to solve a mystery about who kidnapped his little brother when they were kids.Meanwhile his little sister is a telepath and can communicate with all of the androids, who as it turns out, are actually possessed by the ghosts of murdered children. At that point we simply donāt need the little brother plot when giant anthropomorphic pizza place animals are threatening to murder your little sister. Letās focus on whatās actually interesting here.But no, a movie that should have been self-aware of its own ridiculousness spent way too much time telling a completely unrelated story and taking itself too seriously when it should have been telling its own backstory while delivering fun scares.Support the show by using these affiliate links:GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379GET ALL THE BOND MOVIES HERE: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooeOur individual channels:Charles: https://www.youtube.com/@Flavorful_Chunt https://www.youtube.com/@FilmHackerMcCurdy: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmccurdy9423

Knights of the ZodiacQuentin Tarantino has said for years that heāll make ten films and then retire because directors only make worse and worse films as they age. Somehow the old-timer Martin Scorsese is a rare exception to this general rule, of which Killers of the Flower Moon is further evidence.Showcasing the lengths to which people will go to obtain money and power is certainly a central theme of Martyās more iconic films, and hereās another for that list. Only this time itās a significantly more subtle approach than the likes of Goodfellas, The Departed, or Wolf of Wall Street. Murder and death isnāt handled with style and flair set to a Rolling Stones soundtrack, but with deference and care and a cold objectivity because the victims arenāt gangsters, but members of the Osage Nation, bumped off one by one by white men looking to gain control of oil discovered on Osage tribal land. Itās hauntingly tragic, shockingly inhuman, and beautifully rendered.Not so coincidentally, as Martyās time on this Earth elongates, so too do the runtimes of his films, the last two being 3 and a half hours. I for one consider this a blessing from a master filmmaker with nothing left to prove. So if you have a problem with it, watch it on Apple TV+ so that every 20 minutes you can pause the movie to take your damn ADHD medication, sit back down, shut up, watch the movie and be thankful that Martin Scorsese still has plenty to give.Support the show by using these affiliate links:GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379GET ALL THE BOND MOVIES HERE: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooeOur individual channels:Charles: https://www.youtube.com/@Flavorful_Chunt https://www.youtube.com/@FilmHackerMcCurdy: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmccurdy9423

Knights of the ZodiacThe Exorcist: Believer ups the exorcism ante by giving us not one possessed little girl, but TWO possessed little girls. It follows the original Exorcist filmās true to life approach, honing in on the human drama of the characters and using this knowledge to heighten the intensity of the exorcism scenes. But does it go far enough? Not quite. Like Creed III, the final fight feels just a beat short of truly earning its payoff.And that payoff was designed to come down to a simple choice that the odd team of exorcist superfriends (a witch doctor, a catholic priest, a baptist minister, the parents, etc) were forced to make, only that choice was written as to be stacked in the favor of one of the girls over the other, thereby weakening the emotional significance and intended tragedy of the climax.So just like The Creator, the movie is very effective and creepy up until the third act where it comes off as rushed and contrived, and therefore doesnāt hold a votive candle to its predecessors. Speaking of which, they brought back the original characters and for some stupid reason did absolutely nothing with them.Support the show by using these affiliate links:GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379GET ALL THE BOND MOVIES HERE: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooeOur individual channels:Charles: https://www.youtube.com/@Flavorful_Chunt https://www.youtube.com/@FilmHackerMcCurdy: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmccurdy9423

Knights of the ZodiacThe Creator checks the box for our ration of quality high-concept science fiction that todayās audiences only receive on an annual basis.Appropriately set 100 years after 1970, the film is a futuristic retelling of the Vietnam War (but this time against robots) in a frightening but probably accurate vision of the future of artificial intelligence as the inevitable next step in human evolution centered around a human/robot hybrid messiah figure in the form of a little girl named Alphie, short for Alpha Omega (as in Jesusā final words in the book of Revelation), and her parents Mary and Joseph, I mean Maya and Joshua, sent by the Creator to end the war and bridge the gap between humankind and AI. So yea, thereās A LOT going on here. The only downside is that even with this amazing intersection of themes, the overall story is bogged down by too many ideas and unnecessary twists and turns and would have benefited from some streamlining because with so much to get through it oftentimes feels a bit rushed, which only compounds confusion and dampens the emotional significance, which is too bad because the conceptualization and production value is so damn high.Donāt let that deter you from seeing it, but unfortunately thereās lots of room for improvement on this one.Support the show by using these affiliate links:GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379GET ALL THE BOND MOVIES HERE: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooeOur individual channels:Charles: https://www.youtube.com/@Flavorful_Chunt https://www.youtube.com/@FilmHackerMcCurdy: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmccurdy9423

Knights of the ZodiacDumb Money was a tough watch for me because to this day (and to my deep shame) Iām a diamond handed ape, so reliving the 2021 GameStop saga meant I had a pit in my stomach from beginning to end.Of course one canāt help but compare this to the other comedic, āstick it to those wall street bastardsā film: The Big Short. But the core difference is that the characters in The Big Short were primary players in the story of the 2008 financial crisis whereas the GME saga involved millions of individuals (known as apes) all banded together across the globe following the lead of a hilarious madman named Roaring Kitty, AKA Keith Gill.Unfortunately, this movie chose to tell the story of a select few of those apes where it should have just been the Keith Gill vs Wall Street movie coupled with random people around the world interacting with them on Reddit and Youtube.On top of that the film is way too immature for its own good. For a movie telling a true story, everyone behaves like theyāre in a mid-2000ās Judd Apatow film. This is precisely how Wall Street Bets of Reddit should have been characterized, not every character in the film.In total, this movie manages to take one of the wildest stories in history and suck most of the meaning and fun out of it by bypassing important events yet emphasizing unfunny moments with characters that we donāt care about, and then pissing me off by showing them showing off their paper hands while Tik Tok dancing.Support the show by using these affiliate links:GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379GET ALL THE BOND MOVIES HERE: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooeOur individual channels:Charles: https://www.youtube.com/@Flavorful_Chunt https://www.youtube.com/@FilmHackerMcCurdy: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmccurdy9423

The movie does a good job of presenting questionable events involving spirits and ghosts to the point that their realness is arguable either way based on oneās personal interpretation, while also thematically plugging directly into Herculeās personal story of having lost his faith in God because of the horrible things heās seen over the course of his career.
However, in the end it is a very subtle movie, as really nobody is heavily suspected by the audience or otherwise up until Hercule figures everything out after a single conversation per suspect and exposes the killer in one fell swoop and then immediately regains his faith because he believes he saw a ghost.
So just like the aforementioned faith theme there are two interpretations of this subtle quality to the film: one that it is simply and classically told, and the other that it is tired and lazy.
I lack a strong emotional connection to this movie, so it wouldnāt take the worldās greatest detective to figure out where I standā¦

A corny opener, but Iāll never be able to make that joke again so letās savor it.Once again a demon entity possesses someone in order to get a thing it needs to break into the physical world, and yet at the same time it is capable of affecting the physical world for things like murder regardless of having a meat puppet do things for it because it doesnāt need the magical thing it needs to do stuff with, thereby having it both ways at all times while withholding some basic limitation by which to hang a conducive or interesting plot.So once again we get a cookie-cutter, snooze-inducing story with minimal character development pocked by jump-scare set-pieces that admittedly are sometimes fresh but obnoxious all the same because theyāre still fucking jump-scares. Mostly they lead to more laughter than scares, but maybe thatās a point in the movieās favorā¦So the heroes have to get a magical thing to stop the demon and then they do in banal Harry Potter fashion, bringing to mind the eternal wisdom of Peter Jackson in not relying heavily upon magic to carry the dramatic fire in Lord of the Rings, because magic in storytelling is more often than not too simplistic and meaningless and in this case lowers the dramatic majesty of Christianity to the triviality of paganistic wizardry.Support the show by using these affiliate links:GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379GET ALL THE BOND MOVIES HERE: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooeOur individual channels:Charles: https://www.youtube.com/@Flavorful_Chunt https://www.youtube.com/@FilmHackerMcCurdy: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmccurdy9423

Knights of the ZodiacThe Equalizer 3 is a decent end to the Equalizer trilogy, a series of films following in the footsteps of John Wick, Taken, Jack Reacher, and nearly every Clint Eastwood movie whereby an older fella comes out of professional people killer retirement to once again punish those taking advantage of others in the classic Western style of one man versus a web of corruption, specifically in the āa stranger comes to townā style since this iteration takes place entirely in a small village in Sicily overrun by the mafia.However, this movie is basically a āfeel goodā story within that genre, as the story lacks any meaningful sacrifice on the part of ancillary characters or even the Equalizer himself (AKA Robert McCall), greatly diminishing the overall emotional impact of the story. Put short, a problem arises and then McCall quickly and badassly takes care of it without issue or loss of life or anything at all really.Watching Denzel Washington brutally murder bad guys will make you feel bloody righteous in the moment, but for lack of any deeper meaning or significance youāll quickly forget this story.

Gran Turismo is a very good movie, but it doesnāt quite make it into the āgreatā category.And the reason for this is simple. While it has excellent character development and a really unique story about a video gamer turned professional racer, it feels like a 6-part mini series that some fan editor cut down to a two hour run time. With zero puns intended, itās a bit rushed.What this means is that little character moments and big plot elements that should have had more emphasis are quickly breezed over, leading to an overall feeling of being slightly underwhelmed.However, the story has such a fresh approach to the racing genre and David Harbourās character is so good that it easily makes up for these shortcomings, even if youāve never heard of the video game this true story is based on.Support the show by using these affiliate links:GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379GET ALL THE BOND MOVIES HERE: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooeOur individual channels:Charles: https://www.youtube.com/@Flavorful_Chunt https://www.youtube.com/@FilmHackerMcCurdy: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmccurdy9423

Itās essentially āsuperhero fatigue the movieā because thereās nothing we havenāt seen before while ALSO having trouble taking itself seriously while ALSO wishing it was a Marvel movie.A down on his luck fella gets bit by a radioactive spidā Sorry, a blue space scarab burrows into his spine turning him into a reluctant and awkward superhero.

Knights of the ZodiacTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is terrific. I definitely had a big smile on my face for most of this movie.And whyās that? Nostalgia? Revisiting my childhood?No.I loved this movie because it felt like the people making it actually cared about the CHARACTERS, and that the characters behaved and spoke true to themselves as mutants and/or teenagers or father figures or relatably embittered and vengeful bad guys.And then built overtop of that is a clear ādestroy all humansā plot that easily carries a simple story of longing to belong in a world that typically runs from or destroys anything regarded as unfamiliar or alien, which is exactly how people would initially react to four teenage mutant ninja turtles, their giant rat father, and all of their mutant bad guy cousins seeking revenge for humanityās mutant-phobia.This movie brings it on every level: A fresh and apt style of animation, good humor, good fun, motivated bad guys with a sympathetic plot, excellent characterization and fulfillment of individual character arcs, a KILLER soundtrack, lots of pizza and all wrapped up in the most comprehensive and appropriately awkward origin story the turtles have ever seen on the big screen. All thatās left to say my dear McCurdy, is cowabunga.Support the show by using these affiliate links:GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379GET ALL THE BOND MOVIES HERE: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooeOur individual channels:Charles: https://www.youtube.com/@Flavorful_Chunt https://www.youtube.com/@FilmHackerMcCurdy: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmccurdy9423

Knights of the ZodiacThe Last Voyage of the Demeter is a decent movie, no question about it. Itās well made and at times has genuine moments of horror.Unfortunately, itās another example of one of these movies that just doesnāt carry the ball far enough to deserve remembrance. It is exactly what one expects, and nothing more. And I hate saying this about a movie that has the balls to kill a child, but overall this small story such as it is would have been better off remaining as a part of a larger one.And when tasked with pinpointing exactly whatās missing, I believe it to be a certain amount of cleverness within the confines of the premise. As a big fan of this brand of story, both horror and the āa bunch of people trapped in a confined space within a desperate situationā genres, whatās needed is some clever setup and payoff, especially because we as an audience already know that this Dracula tale is going to end in tragedy.Instead what we get in the end is more or less going through the motions as each cast member gets picked off one by one without any fulfillment of character or personal sacrifice or anything else that may have made this story more than just scraping the bottom of the Dracula lore barrel.Support the show by using these affiliate links:GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379GET ALL THE BOND MOVIES HERE: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooeOur individual channels:Charles: https://www.youtube.com/@Flavorful_Chunt https://www.youtube.com/@FilmHackerMcCurdy: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmccurdy9423
