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:  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: Super Mario Bros. Media Type: Movie Release Year: 1993 Directors:  Rocky Morton,  Annabel Jankel Production Companies:  Hollywood Pictures,  Lightmotive,  Allied Filmmakers,  Cinergi Pictures Distributor: Buena Vista Pictures Distribution Runtime: 1 hour 44 minutes Finished Watching: 22nd November 2022 My Rating: 6/10 Whenever I hear anyone talk about the live-action Mario movie, people usually talk about how bad it was or that it's one of the worst films of all time. I'd have to say that people are overexaggerating. Is this a good adaptation? Absolutely not, there is barely anything accurate to the games. It this a good movie? eh, it's decent. I'd have to say that I enjoyed it. The acting was really good with Bob Hoskins doing an especially good job. Some of the writing was decent and I found some of the jokes to be funny. Some of the flaws, other than the obvious lack of accuracy, were that the CGI has aged quite poorly. Some of the character...

Media Name: Drag Me To Hell Media Type: Movie Release Year: 2009 Director:  Sam Raimi Production Companies:  Ghost House Pictures Distributor:  Universal Pictures Runtime: 1 hour 39 minutes Finished Watching: 18th November 2022 My Rating: 6.5/10 Since I got into horror movies, I wanted to give The Evil Dead series a try but my parents suggested this movie saying that I'd like it more. It was okay. I think that Raimi's directing was really great and you could tell that he made it. I think that the horror was done quite well. I found some of the goofier scenes to be quite entertaining. The acting was good and I think that it worked well along with the practical effects which I wasn't expecting to see that much of given this movie's release year. I thought that the digital effects however, were absolutely terrible. There were also quite a lot of gross-out scenes which I didn't really like either. Overall, I enjoyed this movie but it's far from perfect.

Media Name: Smile Media Type: Movie Release Year: 2022 Director:  Parker Finn Production Companies:  Paramount Players,  Temple Hill Entertainment Distributor:  Paramount Pictures Runtime: 1 hour 55 minutes Finished Watching: 5th November 2022 My Rating: 0/10 When I saw the trailer for this movie before Bullet Train in the cinema, I thought it looked really good and was looking forward to watching it. Oh boy did this movie severely disappoint me. Keep in mind that this movie came out the same year as Morbius (which, in my opinion, is the second worst movie of this year, only behind this). Not only is this my least favourite film of the year, but it's also my least favourite film of all time. The writing in this movie was terrible, at times it felt like it was trying to be a cross between Sinister and Creepypastas. The acting was terrible. I felt the characters were really poorly written and didn't add much to the film. The police guy's scene felt like the "I implore...

Media Name: Sinister Media Type: Movie Release Year: 2012 Director:  Scott Derrickson Production Companies:  Alliance Films,  Automatik,  Blumhouse Productions,  IM Global Distributor:  Summit Entertainment, Lionsgate Runtime: 1 hour 49 minutes Finished Watching: 22nd October 2022 My Rating: 6/10 I've never really watched many supernatural horror movies if I am honest so I didn't know what to expect when going into this. I found it to be an ok movie. I didn't really find it to be scary at all up until the final scene of the movie. I found the villain to both look really goofy and have a really stupid name that made me not be able to take them seriously. At times it even looked like Morbius. I didn't really find the CGI to be that good either. I found some scenes to be funnier than they were supposed to be. In terms of the positives, I found the plot to be well-written though the ending was predictable. The acting was also really good. Overall, it was decent...

Media Name: Werewolf By Night Media Type: TV Special Series: MCU Release Year: 2022 Special Director:  Michael Giacchino Production Company:  Marvel Studios English Network:  Disney+ Runtime: 53 Minutes Finished Watching: 26th October 2022 My Rating: 5/10 I'll be honest and say that this year in terms of the MCU has been disappointing to me but I was looking forward to this one. When I watched it, it was just ok. Maybe it's because I haven't seen any old monster movies that inspired it but I thought it was boring most of the time and not really that scary at all. Some of the scenes in the movie also reminded me a bit of Morbius (which I'd say is the second worst movie of this year). I thought that the fight scenes were good though and the CGI was better than most of the other things from the MCU that released this year. The black and white filter also added to the movie in my opinion. Overall, I was disappointed by this though I wouldn't say its one of the worst thi...

Media Name: Final Destination Media Type: Movie Release Year: 2000 Director:  James Wong Production Companies:  Zide/Perry Productions,  Hard Eight Pictures Distributor:  New Line Cinema Runtime: 1 hour 38 minutes Finished Watching: 22nd October 2022 My Rating: 7/10 This was the first horror movie that I watched to celebrate Halloween and I'd have to say that I enjoyed it. The acting was great. I really liked the idea of the premise of not being able to escape death. The writing was also quite good most of the time. The scene where the bus is in the window looked really cool. Some of the problems were that it didn't age perfectly as some of the deaths were extremely goofy. The toilet water returning to the toilet also looked really dumb. I ended up finding the movie to be way funnier than I probably should have. Overall, while I thought it was a good movie, it aged too poorly for me to be able to take it seriously.

Media Name: Uncharted Media Type: Movie Release Year: 2022 Director:  Ruben Fleischer Production Companies: Columbia Pictures, Playstation Productions, Atlas Entertainment, A2 Productions Distributor: Sony Pictures Releasing Runtime: 1 hour 56 minutes Finished Watching: 8th October 2022 My Rating: 7/10 I've only played a tiny bit of the first game but despite that the Uncharted movie peaked my interest. I'd have to say, I enjoyed it. The acting in the movie was good. I found some of the jokes to be quite funny. The action was well-done and entertaining to watch. The VFX were also really good. Some of the problems were that the green screen wasn't very well done and was quite oftenly noticeable. Another issue was that there were some times at which it was quite confusing as to what was happening. I also felt that, while I think that he is a really good actor, Tom Holland was not a very good fit for the role of Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg would have actually been a better ...

  Media Name: Bullet Train Media Type: Movie Release Year: 2022 Director:  David Leitch Production Companies: Columbia Pictures, 87North Productions Distributor: Sony Pictures Releasing Runtime: 2 hours 6 minutes Finished Watching: 17th September 2022 My Rating: 7/10 When I first saw the trailer for this movie, I really wanted to watch it since it looked like it would be entertaining so I decided to see this movie at the cinema in ScreenX. ScreenX for those who don't know is basically when part of the movie is cropped into the sides and blurred to give the illusion that you are in the movie. It really did not work well for this movie. Anyway for the movie itself, I enjoyed it. Please keep in mind that I have not read the original novel which the movie is based on and my opinions are solely for the movie. The characters in the movie in my opinion were well-written and stand out from each other. The fight scenes were great as to be expected from the director of Deadpool 2 and co...
