Heathers Movie Review

So I just finished watching the 80's cult classic, Heathers, and I have to say that I really enjoyed this black comedy. The movie follows a girl named Veronica (Winona Ryder) as her and her boyfriend J.D. (Christian Slater) plan on killing the popular kids in the school. Veronica was once a part of the popular kids, but after she begins to date J.D. that's when the plotting begins. I must note that this is a black comedy, and this movie is not suited for everyone. If you can handle a dark sense of humor, then I would recommend this movie, otherwise you may want to pass on this one.
The acting in this movie is really well done for the most part. The comedy is well timed and paced to the point where you get just enough of a break between jokes to laugh at the jokes while still remaining invested into the story. They also say the one liners that only an 80's film could pull off, and I really mean that.
I honestly feel that the director of this film, Michael Lehmann, had a really fun time making this movie, because theres a certain quality about this 80's movie that makes you feel like the director, and everyone else that was involved with the making of this movie did care about it.
There is much shrugging off dark situations in such a comedic way, that only a film like this one could pull off. Then again, as I stated before, this is a black comedy.
The camera work was done in such a way that it demands your attention, and you enjoy giving this film your attention. There are some fun creative angles in some shots of this movie. The visual storytelling really conveys harmoniously the tone the movie is going for.
The music in this movie is pretty good. I wouldn't say it's the best 80's soundtrack out there, but it is passible.
If you enjoy 80's comedies, cult comedies, black comedies, or a mixture of the three, then you will probably like this movie. I would recommend seeing this movie to anyone that can handle the subject matter. If you saw this movie, give me your thoughts on it down below in the comments, I want to know what others thought of this movie.


final score: 4/5

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi...

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review This Was My Dad's Idea Well... I went and saw Dora and the Lost City of Gold today with my dad, and... the film was a lot funnier than it has any right to be. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a live action adaptation of the Dora tv show on Nickelodeon. Dora, now a teenager, is sent to the City to live with her cousin, Diego, while her parents go exploring for a lost City. When her parents go missing, Dora and her new friends go and search for her parents. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the movie wasn't half bad. There is a ton of tongue and cheek humor. There is some cringe to the Dora and the Lost City of Gold too, but remember, this is a movie made for kids. As a kids film, it does a fine job. The acting was fine, and for a kids film, everyone did alright. Isabela Moner, who played Dora, did a good job portraying the character from what I remember about the show when I was very young. What surprised...

Penny Dreadful City Of Angels Season 1 Episode 1 Review

Penny Dreadful City Of Angels Season 1 Episode 1 Review  Had To Think About This One A Bit If you haven't noticed, I'm a fan of Penny Dreadful . I did address my early thoughts on the new series a little while ago , and now that it's out, I thought I would give my thoughts on the first episode. For the description I'm going to quote IMDB , " Los Angeles, 1938. LAPD detective Tiago Vega and his partner, Lewis Michener, investigate a murder. While at City Hall, Tiago's activist brother Raul Vega battles with the fiery Councilman Charlton Townsend over the construction of California's first freeway. Meanwhile, Peter Craft, the head of the German-American Bun, meets Elsa, the mysterious mother of one of his patients. Sensing danger, Tiago's mother Maria pleads with Santa Muerte to protect her family as the rising tensions in the city threaten to explode." From what I've seen from other reviewers has been very mixed. And here's my two...
