What did you watch this week trooper? (08/29-09/04)


Rally, Troops!! Time to SHARE and SPREAD joy. Yes, yes, nothing less.

My week:

Blue iguana (2018 TV): Fun time watching this with the wife but this movie is lacking in originality and action. The concept is fairly simple and easy to follow so it's a good movie when you want to switch it off. 6/10

Willy's Wonderland (2021 Netflix): Absurd and completely bonkers 99% style and 1% content. I had fun with it but wouldn’t be able to wholeheartedly recommend it. It’s an acquired taste I guess. My rating: 6/10

Villains (2019 Netflix): Good actors playing fun characters doing infuriatingly stupid things. I do enjoy this kind of movie and this sure is one of the entertaining ones. 7.5/10

Brightburn (2017 Neflix): I had lost my review of this and I know I watched it a few months ago but needed to refresh my memory which was very foggy. I mostly remember the relationship between the parents and the kids but I had forgotten about the more horrific aspects of the movie. It all quickly came back to me, especially that car accident scene. There sure are some great moments but I think it fell to maximize the opportunity to make a bonkers movie. My rating: 7/10

The forbidden kingdom (2008 DVD): I try and I try to love this movie because it has two of my favourite actors and everything for me to like but the lead actor, this Arangano guy, is so bad even my two heroes can’t save this for me. Of course I enjoy every scene they are in but when he’s with them it cancels it out. I think it’s my 3rd or 4th time watching it (this time with my two boys) but Im done trying now. My rating: 5.5/10

Guns of Navarro on NETFLIX

Really good. They must have remastered the sound at some point because it sounded great.
Especially for an OLD movie.

I'll check if it's on my Canadian netflix.

Agents of Shield (2013) - Season 7. I usually like this show. I think it's mostly solid but this season was so bad. It starts out solid but it just falls apart. Became a chaore to finish. 4/10

Happy! (2018) - Finally checked out the second & final season. Been meaning to for 2 years now. It's mostly good. Not quite as great as the first season. The pacing was just a bit slow this time. It is weirder & more bonkers than season 1 though. This show is NOT for everyone but I liked it. Wish they at least got one more season to wrap things up. 7.5/10

P.S. I mostly agree with your thoughts on Bright. I like the concept of the film more than the actual film. Magic & fantasy characters being part of history honestly sounds like a great concept. The execution though is just lacking. It's basically just Training Day but with Orcs. Even the world doesn't feel fantastical. It mostly feels & looks like our own one

Happy!: in my top 5 favorite shows of the last decade. S1: 9.5, S2: 9/10

P.S. i watched Brightburn. Bright I didn't care much for except for the action.
