Road to Transformers: Rise of the Beasts - Transformers Review

 

Alright, we've got a brand new Road to. Not only will this be fun because I'll be talking about Transformers, which will lead up to me reviewing Rise of the Beasts (hopefully), but it'll also give more an excuse to talk about Michael Bay.

Also, yes. I'm fully aware of the animated 1986 film, but I primarily want to focus on the live-action films. So sorry if some of you were hoping that would've gotten some attention.

Transformers is a sci-fi action film based on the toy line of the same name. It also serves as the first installment of the film series. The movie was produced by Hasbro, DreamWorks Pictures, and Di Bonaventura Pictures and distributed by Paramount Pictures. Transformers was written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman and directed by Michael Bay.

The story is a long war between the Autobots and Decepticons has found its way to Earth. Leader of the Autobots Optimus Prime, has asked for Sam Witwicky's help in finding the Allspark, an item that can change the tide of their war. Can the Autobots find it first, or will humanity bow down to the Decepticons?

• Negatives

I've got nothing here. Just scroll to the next part.

• Mix

One slight issue with the movie was how the stories were structured. While each storyline is good in its own right, it did feel odd to go to the soldiers fighting for their lives, to then seeing Sam try romance his love interest. Essentially you go to a war flick, then transition to a teen romance, then sandwich in-between is the government story. Like I said, good stories, just weird placements.

Then we have the characters. While I do remember Sam, Mikaela, Lennox, Simmons, Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, and Megatron, I don't remember the others. A lot of them could've used more character to them. I guess maybe the writers did this on purpose because the movie had enough going it for with the storylines. Still, some could've had just a bit more to them.

• Positives

One positive thing is the action. While some scenes the camera was just a bit too close, for 95% of the movie I liked it. Whether it was Transformer vs. Transformer, humans vs. Transformers, or a chase scene, the action is good popcorn fun.

What I also enjoyed was the humor. Did all of it worked? No, but for most of the movie I was having a lot of good laughs.

Now whether you liked the movie or not, one thing I think we can all agree on, is the special effects are fantastic. One thing that I forgot to mentioned in my Why I'm a Michael Bay Fan post is how Bay does something that I wish most directors would do, and that's blend both practical and CGI effects. And this film did an incredible job doing just that. It's also amazing (and a little sad) how the CG in this fifteen year old movie holds up better today, than some of the movies that we get now.

While this isn't by any means a perfect film, I still enjoyed it for what it was. Maybe I'm just being too nice considering this was what got me into Transformers. But yet again I did also mention my slight issues, so maybe you can say I wasn't playing favorites, or not, choice is yours. Either way I dug this flick, and I look forward to reviewing the sequels.

My final rating is, Good.

So that's going to do it for me. Come back on Thursday, Feb 2nd, where I'll review a movie that everyone can agree is great. That film being Raiders of the Lost Ark. Until then, enjoy the rest of your day.

Cinematic Disasters - Bucky Larson: Born to be a Star

 

Well folks, I think I found a movie that can rival the stupidity of those Friedberg and Seltzer films I reviewed.

Bucky Larson: Born to be a Star is a comedy movie that was produced by Columbia Pictures, Happy Madison Productions, and Miles Deep Productions and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. Bucky Larson: Born to be a Star was written by Adam Sandler, Allen Covert, and Nick Swardson and directed by Tom Brady (and no, I'm talking about the football star).

The story is Bucky Larson is a man-child who still lives with his folks. One night him and friends watch an old 70's porn film, and see that the two stars in it are none other than Bucky's parents. After learning this, sets out for Hollywood to follow in his parents footsteps.

My Thoughts

Before I get into anything regarding the plot, let me give my opinion on Bucky himself. This character...absolutely sucks. He's a moron! And I'm talking lovable idiot, he's a moron in the sense that his stupidity just makes him incredibly annoying. Throughout the whole movie you'll just be begging for the absolute worst things to happen to him. That's how awful of a main character he is.

Now with that out of the way, let's get into the story. During the first two minutes I really should've considered this a warning of things to come. First off, during the opening sequence, a man smears peanut butter on his on crotch so he can do unspeakable things with his goats. Yes, that happened. It wasn't something that came from my mind. Afterwards the movie starts off with Bucky at his job at being a bag boy. Then for some reason, his boss picks a fight with him, starts hitting himself, and claims Bucky did it then fires him. That doesn't make sense, cause three or four people saw what happened. Also, if they wanted to make Bucky unemployed, they could've just started off with him being unemployed. There wasn't any reason for this convoluted setup. Let me remind you, we're only two minutes in, and things already aren't looking good.

Afterwards, Bucky meets up with his friends to watch porn. There are four problems with this scene.

1) They refer to porn as "nude movies". Never in my entire life have I ever heard anyone call porn that.

2) Bucky has never watched nor heard of porn. The never watching I can buy, but never hearing about it? Even the most sheltered people have heard of porn, so that's a stretch..

3) Bucky doesn't know how to jack off. It's been quite a while since I was young, but I'm pretty sure that's one of those things that just comes naturally. But that's not even the worst part. The worst part is how his friends are more than happy to help him out. Then don't touch him, they just give him verbal instructions. Either way creepy.

4) Bucky and his pals discover that the stars of the movie are Bucky's parents. Now normally when one makes a discovery, especially with the way they found out, he or she would puke. Bucky on the other hand is gleeful, and thinks his parents are stars. His friends had a more normal reaction then he did.

Now Bucky goes to tell his folks about this, and they were more than happy to tell him about their past lives. Seriously, they didn't even try to deny it or change the conversation, they just freely admit it. There's being open with your kids, then there's whatever the hell this is!

So after this talk, Bucky decides to be a pornstar just like they were. Expect, he only now discovered porn, mastrubation, and never had sex. Which really brings me to yet another problem with this film. The writers really wanted your suspension of disbelief to really be nonexistent. Everything I've told is so ridiculous that it's really hard to get invested in this story. Sure, a lot of entertainment doesn't have to always be realistic, but that suspension can only go so far, and this film is practically begging you to turn off your brain and not to think about anything.

So after some pointless scenes (a very common problem with this film among others), Bucky stops by a diner, and meets his love interest Kathy. Which I absolutely refuse to believe she would find this guy attractive.

First off, just look at him.

And even if you don't wanna judge someone by their looks, was there anything I mentioned about him previously that just screams boyfriend or husband material?

After a misunderstanding, and meeting someone who has connections, Bucky goes to a party with adult film stars, and meets one by the name of Dick Shadow. Once they're done talking Dick just decides to humiliate Bucky because of his really small package. It was at this scene I realized something, for whatever reason other than his parents, friends, Kathy, and another character that'll be mentioned soon, whenever Bucky meets someone they just immediately hate him. Before the party, his boss just picks a fight and fires him, then at the diner a waitress insults him, and he's insulted again by a friend of Kathy's. Sure we hate him because we've seen just how stupid/annoying he is, but these characters barely spent five minutes with him. I guess the filmmakers wanted us to feel sorry for him, but they went about it in a wrong way.

We later go to Bucky's first day of his new XXX career, where after just seeing a pair of breast, he screams like a monkey and climaxes. So not only has he not had sex, only gained knowledge of mastrubation and porn about a week or two ago but seeing, not touching them or anything, just seeing boobs makes him reach peak pleasurement. Remind me again why we were suppose to root for this guy and his new career path?

Bucky later meets up with Kathy again, and after telling her about the shoot, we learn that Kathy wants to be a waitress at a five-star restaurant. However she's too scared to make that dream to come true, because she once dropped a tray on someone and they got burned. I bring this up because the tone for this backstory is way off. It's played completely straight, when it really should've been a joke. It comes off as a parody of being a waitress, but it's being treated seriously.

After that bit, Miles Deep (the porn director Bucky's working with) finds that the scene he shot with Bucky was uploaded online, and after everyone sees Bucky's ridiculously tiny pecker, men are commenting about how they're no longer insecure with what they have, and women are saying they're grateful with what they have to work regarding what their man has. This movie is borderline stupid, but that's gotta be the most realistic I've heard.

Miles thinks he's got the next big hit on his hands, but after getting rejected twice (with both scenes being so similar one of them might as well have gotten cut), he later gets funding from the Vietnamese mafia...and that's it. Seriously, you'd think someone burrowing money from the mafia would go somewhere, but it doesn't. It's just a very forgettable joke and we're off to the next scene.

Speaking of the next scene, we got a hot woman about to strip out of her clothes, but you're just gonna skip that scene because you don't want to hear Bucky have another orgasm. This movie will have you willingly skip seeing a beautiful woman naked....something like this should be considered a crime.

Later Bucky becomes a big success, even winning awards. This angers Dick Shadow, remember him? And he makes a speech about said anger. So does this lead into anything? Nope. We get two more scenes with him, then he just disappears from the movie altogether. Once again, the movie wasted time on something that becomes completely pointless.

Our next scene is Bucky and Kathy deciding to take their relationship to the next step by doing it. Seriously, Kathy, you can do better. There's just two problems.

1) Much like Bucky, this is also Kathy's first time as well. Which I call bullshit! I mean, just look at her.

This movie actually wants me to believe for just one second, that men saw her, and said "Pass! Hard Pass"! Again, your suspension of disbelief can only go so far with this flick.

2) They don't have a condom that matches Bucky's itty-bitty tiny meat stick. So...Kathy makes one out of the tip of a straw....this is neither funny, charming, or whatever they were shooting for. It's just sad, incredibly sad.

The next morning Kathy decides to dump Bucky so she can explore other options. Not only is that also realistic, but YES! She finally came to her senses! Wish she did it sooner, but hey, better late than never. Nicely done Kathy. Go, go find yourself a man who'll treat you right, satisfy your needs, and is absolutely nothing like Bucky in ever conceivable way.

So because of these events, Bucky is naturally sad, and doesn't get any support from his boss Miles, or his parents. I'm not making that one up. His mom and dad are told what happened, then they just tell him to get back to work. His boss I can kinda understand not being all that invested in Bucky's relationship problems, but his own parents?! What a bunch of assholes. But wait, there's more! Turns out Kathy was told to break up with Bucky because Miles told her to. And instead of being mad at Miles, Bucky forgives Miles, and goes off to find Kathy. Seriously, Miles suffers no conquences for this, he gets off scot-free.

With all that being said and done, Bucky finds Kathy, and she gets back together with him. Why Kathy why?!? I don't care if you broke up with him by your own free will or not, YOU CAN DO BETTER! There's tons of other fish in the sea, and I'm pretty sure a majority of them are all better than Bucky! You think having his kids is only gonna bring you more happiness?! It won't! We've seen Bucky's gene pool, it'll only get worse from here!!!!

So that was Bucky Larson: Born to be a Star, and I don't know what to say about this one. It's awful, that's for sure. It definitely had some horrendous attempts at comedy. Comedy so bad that I seriously don't know who's the intended audience? When watching the movie, all I was doing was begging for it to end. I mean it folks, if you value your brain cells, avoid this one as much as you can.

My final rating is, Destroy It!

Ugh, you should never feel miserable when watching a comedy. Anyhow, come back on Thursday, Jan 19th, where I'll begin the Road to Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. Starting with 2007's Transformers. That's right, we're going back to Bayhem!

The Pale Blue Eye Review

 

The Pale Blue Eye is a mystery thriller film based on Louis Bayard's 2003 novel of the same name. The movie's produced by Cross Creek Productions, Steamline Global Grouo, and Le Grisbi Productions and distributed by Netflix. The Pale Blue Eye is written and directed by Scott Cooper.

The story is in 1830, veteran detective Augustus Landor has been asked by the military to investigate an apparent suicide at the United States Military Academy. Landor finds out, it wasn't a suicide but also sees that the body's heart was taken. Soon both him and young cadet Edgar Allen Poe work together to who the killer is, what's their motive, and try to stop more murders from happening.

Initial Reaction

The reason why I watched this movie and decided to review it was because of Christian Bale. He's a great actor, and ever since I saw him in The Dark Knight Trilogy way back when, I've been curious of his other projects.

Cons

I've got nothing here, move on to the next part.

Middle Ground

One thing I wished the movie did more with was the characters. We do get some backstory and such with them, but by the end of the movie there still felt like there could've been more. The other slight issue was the mystery. Overall it's still good, but there are bits and pieces where it does lose steam. So I think with a rewrite or two, we could've gotten something that would've kept us interested throughout the film, instead of every now and then.

Pros

One thing to love about the movie was the look. I'm by no means an aficionado on the 1830s, if anything I probably have a bare bones knowledge on that era, and that's me being nice about myself, but I think The Pale Blue Eye did a really good job capturing the look and anesthetic of that time. I also really liked the pacing. It wasn't by any means slow, but it also wasn't a breakneck fast pace adrenaline ride. If anything it's pacing might best be described as, it's taken its time, while also not wasting both its time or yours. It goes by a pretty good pace. I also want to give credit to the atmosphere. After we get to the first corpse, throughout the movie there's definitely a feeling of uneasiness, even when you're lead to believe there shouldn't be. The last thing I'll get the movie more positive points is of course our main stars, Christian Bale and Harry Melling. Christian is of course amazing in his role, and Harry definitely deserves a lot of credit. There were quite a few times when he could be a scene stealer. And both Christian and Harry had some really great scenes together. These two are the highlight of the film.

While The Pale Blue Eye had some issues, I still found myself enjoying it despite those slight problems. Does that make me forgive it completely? No, but I will give it a slightly high rating, because there was still quite a lot to enjoy here.

My final rating is Good.

That's going to do it for me. Come back on Monday, Jan 16th, for my Cinematic Disaster review of....Bucky Larson: Born to be a Star...oh boy, that movie...Until then, enjoy the rest of your movie.

M3GAN Review

 

M3GAN is a sci-fi horror movie, that's produced by Blumhouse Productions, Atomic Monster Productions, and Divide/Conquer and distributed by Universal Pictures. M3GAN is written by Akela Cooper and James Wan and directed by Gerard Johnstone.

The story is a roboticist named Gemma uses A.I. to create a lifelike doll named Model 3 Generative Android, aka M3GAN, to be the perfect child companion and a parent's greatest ally. Soon Gemma unexpectedly gets custody of her niece Cady when her parents die. Gemma enlist the help of MEGAN to give a hand in taking care of Cady. But what Gemma doesn't realize yet, is this is decision will lead into a horrifying bloodbath.

Initial Reaction

If any of you read my most anticipated movies list, then you'd know why I'm looking forward to this. But if don't want to read that, here's the short abridged version. I wanted to see this because it was written by the same people who brought the entertaining as hell Malignant. So I just had to see what other crazy stuff they came up with this time around.

Cons

The only draw back is the PG-13 rating. Whenever I watched a kill scene, me along with everyone else couldn't shake the feeling that the violence was suppose to be way more gruesome than what we got. I actually believe the movie would've benefited more had it stuck with an R rating. Matter of fact I wouldn't be surprised if this was suppose to be rated R. And if there is an unrated cut, I really hope it gets released.

Middle Ground

I've got nothing here. Just scroll on down.

Pros

One pro is the special effects. There's a mix of makeup, CGI, and maybe even a bit of puppetry. And they all blended together perfectly, for a lot of scenes it's actually hard to tell which one is which. There's also a great balance of dark humor spread throughout. Especially get satire on the toy industry. The movie even starts off with a parody of toy commercials that got a great laugh out of me. I also want to praise the performances. I wasn't expecting any bad performances from this, it's just that it was quite surprising to really great acting on display. Even the child acting from Violet McGraw and Amie Donald. Amie did all the physical stuff for the character of M3GAN. And not only was I surprised by her more body language acting, but she also did her own stunts and she did a great job at them. And what made Violet so great was she showed a lot of acting range despite her young age. She showed quietness, sadness, she has this great scene where her character just completely snaps and slaps someone. Just truly phenomenal acting from the entire cast. The last thing I'll praise and not only is it the movie's greatest strength, but it was something that nobody was expecting from the movie, and that's a story of the importance of human connection, and how people, parents especially, are using technology as a crutch. Both of which I feel like we can't argue against. We've seen, read, and know it's important for us as humans to interact with other people out in the real world. And we also know that there are parents out there, who just give their kids an iPhone and/or an iPad, or will just sit their child in front of a TV, and just call it a day. The movie demonstrates that perfectly by showing that by not only showing M3GAN taking care of Cady more so than Gemma, but also shows that when Gemma puts her foot down, and takes M3GAN away, Cady loses it a bit. That very real world element, is just as frightening or more so, then when M3GAN goes full blown killing machine.

While I do wish M3GAN lean more towards rated R territory, overall I still had good time with this movie and feel like if you're curious about seeing it for yourselve, I wouldn't be against it. Even anything, I'd encourage it.

My final rating is Good.

That's going to do it for me. Come back on Monday, Jan 9th, for my review of the newest Netflix movie, The Pale Blue Eye. Until then, enjoy the rest of your day.

My Most Anticipated Movies of 2023

 

Hi guys, and it's that time again. It's that time when I tell you what movies of this year I'm looking forward too. Even if these are some I might not get the chance to watch and review.

Now typically when I do these I put what months the movies are coming out. I'm not gonna do that. Cause for twice in a row just when I think the release date is final, next thing you know the date changes. So with that out of the way, let's get started.

The first film on the list is M3GAN. The sole reason is because this is written by the same team that wrote Malignant. That film was an absolute crazy good experience, and I'm the writers bring that same craziness to this one.

Next up is Knock at the Cabin. I don't care what a majority of critics have been saying. After the disaster that was After Earth, M Night. Shyamalan has been doing a really good job. No, it hasn't been perfect, but if you were to compare films such as The Happening, The Last Airbender, and the previously mentioned After Earth, to things such as The Visit, Split, Glass, and Old, there's been an improvement. So I hope he continues to keep us with this flick.

Now we have Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey. I've been keeping a close eye on this film ever since it was announced. The premise sounds crazy, and after seeing The Mean One, I'm curious if this can be just as darkly hilarious as that, if not more so.

Next is Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Not too long ago I story broke out that Marvel was doing some quality control after the less than stellar reception regarding Phase Four. The teaser was pretty good, and I'm that supposed quality control had some sort of effect on this film.

Cocaine Bear...do I really need to say anything other than that? It's about a bear that eats coke, and goes on a rampage. What more could you ask for?

Then there's Scream VI. My primary reason for wanting to see this is because, even though the last Scream sadly didn't have Wes Craven attached to it, it was still surprisingly good. So I'm curious if lightning will strike twice.

The seventh film on the list is Shazam!: Fury of the Gods. The first Shazam! was definitely a fun film, and I'm hoping this one will take what we liked about the first, and make it even better like every sequel should do.

The next movie I'm looking forward to is John Wick: Chapter 4. Ever since this became a film series, every sequel hasn't disappointed, they've all been awesome. So I'm hoping for another top notch film for the fourth movie in this franchise.

Then there's The Super Mario Bros. Movie, just going by the trailers these seems like it's going to be a really bright and fun movie. Sure everyone's not feeling it with Chris Pratt as Mario, but I don't think that's gonna effect the entire film. But one thing I think we can all agree on one thing, that it's definitely gonna be way better than that live-action flick we got back in the 90's.

Now there's Renfield. After seeing the first trailer, I just can't wait. This looks like it's gonna be an absolute blast, and even though we only got a tiny glimpse on him in the trailer, it seems like Nicolas Cage is gonna go over the top, which is always awesome to see. Also Chris McKay is directing and he's brought us entertaining films such as The Lego Batman Movie and The Tomorrow War, so I think he may have another winner on his hands.

Now we've got the next film which is Evil Dead Rise. I amazes me how this film series such hasn't missed. Every Evil Dead film has been really good. Even the TV series Ash vs. Evil Dead was awesome. So because of this status, I'm really looking forward to this, and I'm hoping for nothing but the best for this film.

Next is Fast X. I know critics have been rolling their eyes at this film series for the action being over the top as of late, but come on. Why else are people going to see these movies? Because of "family"? Doubtful. But yes, I'm looking forward to the next installment of the Fast and Furious franchise, because I actually do find enjoyment in a lot of these films.

Next is Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. I'll be short and sweet, Into the Spider-Verse was one of the many great films from 2018, so I'm really looking forward to the sequel, and wondering what the filmmakers can do that'll possibly top the first movie.

Our next movie is Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. I'm gonna be honest for a moment, I'm not impressed with them pandering with the nostalgia, as suppose to just finishing the story that they had with the "Bayformers". But even with that aside, I can't deny the newer installment has been good so far. Bumblebee was better than I expected, and the trailer for this film is was good. So I'm hoping all of the hype surrounding this film lives up to it.

The next pick is very much controversial and that's The Flash. Yes, Ezra has been...not the best person to put it lightly, but I'm going to separate art from the artist (even though Ezra didn't write or direct, but you get the point). Anyhow, we've all been waiting a long time for a Flash movie to come out, we got many delays with this film. So I'm hoping the waiting was worth it.

Another June release is Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Ever since I discovered this franchise back when I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark play on TV when I was young, I've been looking forward to another Indy flick. I know a lot of people are worried about this one because of a leak, but I'm gonna give this film a chance, and hope James Mangold can give another great movie.

The 17th film is Oppenheimer. Not only do we have a huge and all-star cast for this, but we also have Christopher Nolan writing and directing. And Nolan hasn't made one bad movie, he's got nothing but a winning streak. So my expectations for this film are very high.

The next one on the list is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhen. I love the Ninja Turtles, and I've enjoyed every theatrical released movie...okay I enjoyed 4 out of the 6 but still. So I'm pumped we're getting a new film, because I feel like it's long overdue.

Now we come to Meg 2: The Trench. I had an absolute blast back in 2018 with The Meg. So you can only imagine how much excitement I have knowing we're FINALLY getting a sequel.

We move onto Gran Turismo. What caught my interest with this one is the director, Neill Blomkamp. He's more known for sci-fi films such as District 9, Elysium, and Chappie. So it's gonna be pretty interesting to see how he tackles a biographical sports drama.

I don't think it's surprising that I put Dune: Part Two on the list. Denis Villeneuve absolutely killed it with the first film back in 2021, and I got a really good feeling he'll do the same for the sequel.

The film that takes this spot is Ghostbusters 4. Jason Reitman surprised not only Ghostbusters fans, but everyone else with Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Now Jason won't be directing and writing this, he'll only be writing and producing. But I still have a good feeling that he'll bring us another good Ghostbusters movie.

The last one is Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. I was blown away just how good the first movie was, and much like previous movies, I'm glad that after many delays, we're finally getting this film.

So, those are my most anticipated movies. I hope to see all if not some of them. Come back on Saturday, Jan 7th for my review of M3GAN. Until then, enjoy the rest of your day.

A Look Back at Star Wars: The Bad Batch - Season 1

 

With season two arriving very soon, it's time to look back and review the previous season.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch is an animated sci-fi series that serves as both a spin-off and  sequel to Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It's produced by Lucasfilm and Lucasfilm Animation and distributed by Disney Platform Distribution. This season consist of 16 episodes. Star Wars: The Bad Batch is created by Dave Filoni.

The story is after finding out about Order 66 and one of their own turning against them, a clone group known as The Bad Batch along with a female clone named Omega, are now on the run. The group take on mercenary work, while at the same time avoid the new galactic empire.

• Negatives

I've got nothing to say, so just move on.

• Mix

The only mix feelings I have about the show is the story. Whenever the Bad Batch go up against soilders of the Empire and one of their own, that part is very much exciting and fun to watch. And while the odd jobs portion is alright, it still gives off the feeling that the Empire storyline is taking a backseat, which in return can kinda makes the overall pacing of the show feel slow.

• Positives

One positive I'll give the series is the action. Even if one storyline is better than the other, you won't be disappointed when it comes to the action.

Then we have the performances. Especially from Dee Bradley Baker. The guy has to play five different characters along with having to play other clones that show up, and give each and everyone of them their own unique voice. And Dee does that perfectly whether he has to be either serious, comedic, or a mixture of both.

The last thing I'll give The Bad Batch for and it's truly the show's greatest strength, and that's the development between the Bad Batch and Omega. I'm serious. It was actually great seeing them [Bad Batch] connect and train Omega, to the point where by the season finale they become a family.

Overall while I did have a slight issue, there was still plenty to enjoy as well. I'm hoping by season two the story problem I mentioned earlier will be fixed, while at the same time still keeping all of the good elements, and elevate them even more.

My final rating is Good.

So that's all for me. Come back on Thursday, Jan 5th for my list of my most anticipated movies of this year. Until then, enjoy the rest of your day.
