Cheesy Reviews

Media Name: Planes, Trains and Automobiles Media Type: Movie Release Year: 1987 Director:  John Hughes Production Companies:  Hughes Entertainment Distributor:  Paramount Pictures Runtime: 1 hour 32 minutes Finished Watching: 4th December 2022 My Rating: 8/10 I ended up watching this movie since my dad said that it was "Christmassy" despite being set at Thanksgiving. I would have to say that this is a really good movie that's not for me. The writing was really good and I felt that the chemistry between Neal and Del was really good. I found some of the jokes to be really funny as well. I also found some of the scenes to be emotional. This might be personal bias because I grew up with the show, but I found The Flintstones scene to be really funny. There were some flaws that prevented me from enjoying the movie as much as I wanted to though. I found it to be really slowly paced to the point of where it felt like it was on for way longer than 90 minutes. While Neal being a je...

Media Name: Eight Crazy Nights Media Type: Movie Release Year: 2002 Director:  Seth Kearsley Production Companies: Columbia Pictures, Happy Madison Productions Distributor: Sony Pictures Releasing Runtime: 1 hour 26 minutes Finished Watching: 2nd December 2022 My Rating: 2.5/10 Even though this is a Hanukkah movie, I still decided to watch this as the first Christmas movie of 2022 just to see how bad it was. It was terrible. For one thing, there was way too much gross out humour in the movie which could make it uncomfortable to sit through. The writing was also really bad. The characters were also awful. The songs were awful despite being memorable. The majority of the jokes also did not land. The animation was really good though and a few of the jokes were funny. Overall, this movie was awful and I can see why people hate it.

Media Name: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law Media Type: TV Series Season: 1 Episode Count 9 Release Year: 2022 Creator:  Jessica Gao Production Company: Marvel Studios Original Network: Disney+ Finished Watching: 1st December 2022 My Rating: 3/10 Going into this show, I heard nothing but negativity about it and I would have to say that, the hate for this show is justified. The CGI on She-Hulk herself is really ugly and looks like a meme edit. Quite a lot of the dialogue and humour was cringeworthy, especially the twerking post-credits scene. Some of the episodes could be quite boring to watch as well. Jennifer Walters could also be quite annoying as well. The writing was sometimes bad as well. Basically the only redeeming qualities were that we got to see what happened to the Abomination 14 years after The Incredible Hulk left his fate ambiguous and a year after he had a brief appearance in Shang-Chi. I also liked the Daredevil episode and thought that the finale was decent. It also...

Media Name:  One Piece: Jango's Dance Carnival Media Type: Short Film Release Year: 2001 Director:  Daisuke Nishio Production Companies: Toei Animation English Distributor: N/A Runtime: 6 minutes Finished Watching: 29th November 2022 My Rating: 7.5/10 Given that this was a theatrical short film that played before the second movie, I didn't know what to expect. I really enjoyed it though. I though it to be really funny. The animation was great and I really liked the music. Overall, while this was just a short film, I still found it to be really entertaining.

Media Name: Ms. Marvel Media Type: TV Series Season: 1 Episode Count 6 Release Year: 2022 Creators:  Bisha K. Ali Production Company: Marvel Studios Original Network: Disney+ Finished Watching: 27th November 2022 My Rating: 5/10 Going into this, I didn't really know what to expect since I've never seen Ms. Marvel in any other piece of media and I've never read her comics. I'd have to say that this show was mediocre. The pacing was way too slow which made the show drag. It felt like they forgot at times that they were making a superhero show because there was so little action occurring. It also felt like they set up too many villains to the point of where it got confusing as to who was meant to be the main villain. The final episode was really messy as well though I'd have to say that I enjoyed it more. There were some funny jokes however sprinkled throughout. Overall, while I wouldn't say this series was terrible, I also wouldn't say it was great either.

Media Name:  The Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special Media Type: TV Special Series: MCU Release Year: 2022 Special Director:  James Gunn Production Company:  Marvel Studios English Network:  Disney+ Runtime: 42 Minutes Finished Watching: 25th November 2022 My Rating: 8/10 Given how much I like the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, I was really excited for this special. I'd have to say that it delivered. I found it to be really funny with the plot of Drax and Mantis kidnapping Kevin Bacon especially being amusing. The acting was really great as well. The CGI was surprisingly great given how CGI in other phase 3 MCU content has looked. The writing was also really good and the special was sometimes emotional. The only bad thing was the rotoscoped 2D animation for the beginning and ending which should have just been live-action in my opinion. Overall, this was a great TV special and gives the MCU a sign of hope.

Media Name: Good Burger Media Type: Movie Release Year: 1997 Director:  Brian Robbins Production Companies:  Nickelodeon Movies,  Tollin/Robbins Productions Distributor:  Paramount Pictures Runtime: 1 hour 35 minutes Finished Watching: 25th November 2022 My Rating: 8.5/10 Good Burger is one of those movies that I kept planning to watch but kept forgetting to but I finally watched the movie with my friends on a Discord call. I would have to say that I really enjoyed this one. The characters were great and well-written (especially Ed). I also found it to be extremely funny and I couldn't stop laughing throughout most of it. The ending song is also surprisingly really good. One of my few problems with it was that the dialogue could sometimes be robotic. Other than that I would have to say that this is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen and I will certainly watch it again along with the sequel.

Media Name: Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma The Fifth Plate Media Type: TV Series Season: 5 Episode Count 13 Release Year: 2020 Series Director:  Yoshitomo Yonetani Production Company: J.C. Staff English Network: Crunchyroll Finished Watching: 20th November 2022 My Rating: 6/10 So this was the final season of Food Wars and given my thoughts on the previous season , I was expecting to hate this one. I'd have to say that this one was a step-up but not as good as the first few seasons. While it introduced more slice-of-life stuff that was missing from season 4 and I found BLUE to be quite fun to watch, it was still quite flawed. The new villain of the series felt shoe-horned in and could be really annoying half of the time. The first two episodes also sucked with the second episode being my least favourite in the entire series. The ending also kinda blew with it not really wrapping up stuff as good as it could have done. The new villain group also felt like a pointless addition. Overal...

Media Name: Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma The Fourth Plate Media Type: TV Series Season: 4 Episode Count 12 Release Year: 2019 Series Director:  Yoshitomo Yonetani Production Company: J.C. Staff English Networks: Crunchyroll, Toonami Finished Watching: 18th November 2022 My Rating: 4/10 Given the fact that I have given the rest of the show  positive reviews, I expected to also give this one a positive review. Unfortunately, I didn't like this season. This season felt overstuffed with Shokugeki's leaving very little room for slice of life character development. And obviously, more Shokugekis means more of the worst part of the show, the fanservice.. It may seem dumb to complain about fanservice in an ecchi show but there was way too much during this season. Sometimes it felt like Souma's friends were flanderized as well since they felt less like characters and more like just his supporters. I'd have to say though that despite this being a bad season, the last 3 episodes ...

Media Name: Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma The Third Plate Media Type: TV Series Season: 3 Episode Count 24 + 1 OVA Release Year: 2017-2018 Series Director:  Yoshitomo Yonetani Production Company: J.C. Staff English Networks: Crunchyroll, Toonami Finished Watching: 14th November 2022 My Rating: 8/10 The start of this season made me kind of worry that the show was getting repetitive but thankfully the introduction of Central proved me wrong as they brought new opposition to the table that kept it fresh and interesting. I also felt that the Train arc adding in the adults opposing the main characters was fun to watch as well. Azami is also a great villain and helped to increase the cast. I also really liked the OPs. Other than those points, it was partially more of the same from seasons 1 and 2 . My only problems were that Momo's inclusion felt uncomfortable at times and it felt unnatural to end it right in the middle of a new tournament. Overall I really enjoyed this season and I wou...

Media Name: Weird: The Al Yankovic Story Media Type: Movie Release Year: 2022 Director:  Eric Appel Production Companies:  Funny or Die,  Tango Entertainment,  Ear Booker Productions Distributor:  The Roku Channel Runtime: 1 hour 48 minutes Finished Watching: 11th November 2022 My Rating: 9/10 Going into this movie, I had already listened to a few of Weird Al's songs (Amish Paradise, The Saga Begins and the Captain Underpants Theme) along with seen quite a few episodes of Milo Murphy's Law (which he starred in) so I kinda expected this movie to be really over the top goofy. I would have to say that it definitely delivered. I found it to be really funny with a lot of the jokes landing. The acting was really good as well. I also found the movie to be well-written. It was also really nice to not only hear some of the weird al songs which I have already heard but also find some new ones that I also like. I also found the visual effects to be surprisingly really good...

Media Name: Treehouse of Horror XXXIII Media Type: Episode Series: The Simpsons Release Year: 2022 Season Number: 34 Episode: 6  Episode Director:  Rob Oliver Production Company:  Gracie Films, 20th Television Animation, Dr. Movie English Network:  FOX Finished Watching: 31st October 2022 My Rating: 9.5/10 This has to be probably the most hyped that I have ever been for a Simpsons episode I've ever been and I would have to say, it delivered. I found it to be really funny with basically all of the jokes landing. The animation was great with the animation by DR. Movie in the Death Tome segment being absolutely fantastic. The Pookadook segment was probably one of the scariest Treehouse of Horror segments of all time. I loved all of the classic references in the Simpsons World segment. I also thought that the Bob's Burgers crossover was nice to see even if it was short. I loved the Death Tome segment the most though that may be because I love the Death Note anime. The ch...

Media Name: Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma The Second Plate Media Type: TV Series Season: 2 Episode Count 13 + 2 OVAs Release Year: 2016 Series Director:  Yoshitomo Yonetani Production Company: J.C. Staff English Networks: Hi-Dive, Toonami Finished Watching: 30th October 2022 My Rating: 8/10 This season contained both more of what I enjoyed and some of what I didn't like from  the first season . The animation, characters and writing were still really good. Not only that but it also featured a new tournament setting which I found to be really fun and added to the season. The new OP and ED were also both great and I enjoyed listening to them. It was also nice to see characters like Alice Nakiri and Akira Hayama get more screen time after only being introduced in the first season. There was also way less ecchi content in this season which I was glad about. Overall, this was a great season and continued to build upon what the first season started.

Media Name: Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma The First Plate Media Type: TV Series Season: 1 Episode Count 24 + 2 OVAs Release Year: 2015 Series Director:  Yoshitomo Yonetani Production Company: J.C. Staff English Networks: Hi-Dive, Toonami Finished Watching: 17th October 2022 My Rating: 8/10 I originally decided not to watch this anime since it's ecchi and I don't like ecchi anime. That was until one of my friends told me it wasn't that bad in terms of content and he was right. I ended up really enjoying it. I really liked each of the characters and felt they were well-written. The music was really good with both OPs and EDs being really catchy. I felt that a lot of the jokes landed and I found them to be really funny. The animation looked great especially when they were cooking with the food looking on-par with Studio Ghibli food (unironically not as in the "How does Studio Ghibli always make food look delicious" meme). I also found myself to be really addicted to ...

Media Name: Fruits Basket -prelude- Media Type: Movie Release Year: 2022 Director:  Yoshihide Ibata Production Company: TMS Entertainment English Distributor: Crunchyroll Runtime: 1 hour 28 minutes Finished Watching: 9th October 2022 My Rating: 9/10 I first watched both adaptations of Fruits Basket last year and I would have to say that the 2019 adaptation is one of my favourite anime of all time. When I heard that they were making a prequel focused on Tohru's parents, I was really excited for it. I finally got around to watching it when it got put on Crunchyroll. I was a bit disappointed that part of it was a recap though I'm glad that the recap only lasted 30 minutes. The recap did feel largely like it was only there to fill time though. In terms of the actual movie itself, I loved it. I really enjoyed the storyline. Just like the series, the animation was fantastic. It was also really nice to see the past of Kyoko who we've only seen snippets of in flashbacks. It could a...
