What did you burrito jumpers watch this week? (11/19-11/25)
What a week guys! WHAT. A. WEEK!!!
The war (1994 DVD): “A Vietnam veteran helps his kids battle over a tree house while recovering from his traumatic war experience.” Great film but not an easy watch! It’s powerful, sad and long. It was my first time seeing it since the 90’s and I remembered most of it. Such an impactful film that will probably leave its mark in my kids too. My rating: 8/10
Pawn sacrifice (2014 DVD): Chess is one of my favourite games so when I saw that movie for five dollars I had to get it. I found that it somehow lacked rhythm and thrills cinematically wise but the true story is an amazing one. Actors did a good job too. My rating: 7/10
DC league of super-pets (2022 DVD): Saw this at the theatre with my oldest son and now we bought the DVD because we really wanted his younger brother and sister to see it too. A must have for the kids collection. My rating: 8/10
Deathgasm (Friday night special): This movie cracked me up a few times and that’s a feat in itself. Plus the gore was awesome and although not a fan of the genre, the Metal aspect was very well used. This movie destroyed some serious Anal Cunts. My only complaint is about missing some of the dialogues because of the accent/bad audio combination. If I was into metal I might have rated this 10/10, idk. My rating: 8/10
Eat brains love ( Friday late night special): The quality of this production exceeded my expectations. The acting was rather bad at first but it did get better as it went. A solid addition to the zombie genre. My main complaint is about a MAJOR plot hole: The girl kept her braw during sex scene. Wait, that’s not all. A few minutes later the dude takes the braw out of his pockets. She never took the braw off!! Why didn’t she take the braw off??? 😡 My rating: 7/10
Smile (Saturday night special): I don’t know what was scarier about this film; the sights or the sounds. Because as creepy or gore as the sights could get, the sounds were scary as fuck! With a solid cast, a reasonably good story (I do wonder what would’ve happened if one of them would just suicide all alone in a room with no one to witness ? 🤔) and nice camera works, this new addition to the genre was a success. At least for me! Only thing that disappointed me was the final scene which offers no kind of resolve. My rating: 7/10
Better watch out (Saturday late night special): My first rewatch. It obviously lost some of its novelty and originality knowing what would happen but still had a good time with it. A whole lot of fun for the entire Movie Club. My rating: 7.5/10
