A Real Pain & The Six Triple Eight

Here we have yet another double review. A Real Pain stars Jesse Eisenberg (who's also the director) and Kieran Culkin as 2 Jewish cousins who take a trip to Poland to visit the house and concentration camp of their dead grandma. The Six Triple Eight on the other hand stars Kerry Washington and was directed by Tyler Perry, centering on the struggle and eventual accomplishments of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion.

A Real Pain

A Real Pain was good, but I will admit that I wasn't blown away by it. I guess my expectations were just a little bit too high. Culkin (who will always be Roman Roy to me) was probably the best thing about the movie and is probably gonna win a Supporting Actor Oscar. Eisenberg was good too, and his direction was surprisingly better than I though it would be (for a semi- newcomer anyway). Overall, good movie. Just not great.

The Six Triple Eight

So Tyler Perry had 3 movies come out this year, and normally he sucks at his job. That was definitely the case with Mea Culpa and Divorce In The Black; so Why The HELL Was This Movie Actually Good!? Not only was Washington phenomenal in this, but Perry's direction was actually well paced. The movie is not perfect, but it's sure as Hell WAY too good for a Tyler Perry movie. Also, these women are entitled to our respect.

Thanks For Reading.

First Day Of 2024/2025 Awards Race

It is about that time of year again where Hollywood gives out its most prestigious awards to most of the time the least deserving. But that doesn't mean I'm not gonna pay attention like always. But this year we will be shaking things up a little. Allow me to explain; Here's How This Works: Each year, I will have a target subject I'm rooting for this season. When the nominations for each award show are announced, I will do a small commentary on whether or not the subject has a chance of winning. However, this year instead of focusing on just the target, I will also be focusing on those I think are frontrunners in different categories for the season as a whole, whether I'm rooting for them or not. I will most likely say a last minute thought the day before the award show. I will be tracking down all the way up to the big dogs: THE OSCARS. The Awards: We will be focusing on 5 awards; -The Golden Globes -The BAFTA's -The Critics Choice -The SAG Awards and Of Cour...

Red One & The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

I present to you, a Christmas Double Review. Red One centers on The Rock and Captain America trying to find J.K. Simmons (Santa) after he's been kidnapped. The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is obviously based on the book of the same name and of course involves throwing a Christmas pageant with some of the worst kids in existence. Red One This was a very strange movie. I don't hate it as much as others do, but I see why people hate it. I will admit there were some parts that were a little too ridiculous and I didn't laugh as much as I would've liked. Also, with all due respect to Kiernan Shipka, she was not a good casting for the main villain. Her performance just didn't work for me. She wasn't intimidating at all, and she still looks like a child. I'm sorry but I just could not take her seriously. But I also feel it had some heartwarming moments as well, particularly involving Chris Evans' character and his son. I wouldn't say this movie was good, bu...
