Happy Death Day 2U Movie Review

Happy Death Day 2U

A Mindless Funny Film

So, I was initially shocked to find out they were making a second film to the original Happy Death Day. Which I enjoyed as a turn your brain off and laugh sort of film.
The film starts out the day after the first film, and it begins with the perspective of Ryan (Phi Vu) as he ends up in his own loop. Tree (Jessica Rothe) helps him, but they come to find out it was Ryan's science experiment which started the whole thing. They tried to fix it, but something goes wrong and Tree is thrown into a parallel universe where she has to relive the first day from the first film all over again, but with a few... minor differences.
Ok, this film is mindless, and if you're okay with mindless fun, or you enjoyed the first film, then you'll probably like this one as well. Don't take it to seriously, and you probably will have some fun with it.
So, Jessica Rothe back as Tree was pretty good. She fits the role well, and I was actually happy to see the character Tree again. Jessica Rothe and the rest of the cast appeared to have fun with the movie, and it really shows on screen.
I was surprised to find out the music of the film was by, Bear McCreary. If you don't know who he is, he's the guy who made the Black Sails theme song. I thought the overall soundtrack to the film was fine.
The death scenes in this film are creative, and I almost felt a possible homage to Tucker and Dale VS Evil in there. I don't know if that's what the filmmakers intended, but I noticed it, if it was. I would also like to note, there is some decent laughs to be had from time to time in the film.
I heard there are possible plans for a third installment in the series, but it depends on how well this film does. I could be wrong, but that's what I heard. I wouldn't object to seeing another Happy Death Day movie. Oh! And there is an end credit scene, so just be aware of that if you want to see it.
Overall, Happy Death Day 2U was really just mindless fun. I liked it in a sort of guilty pleasure kind of way. I think this movie knows what it is, and it's fine with that, and so am I, because Happy Death Day 2U isn't half dead.



final score: 3.5/5

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...

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far The funniest show I've seen in years I've been watching a show on Netflix called Norsemen, and I swear this is the funniest show I've seen in years! I can't understate how funny this show can really be, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say about 90% of the jokes land. Norsemen starts off in 790 AD, and follows a few Vikings and their slaves. The show goes through their lives and their trials, but it's done with a comedic spin. If you haven't yet, watch the trailer above to get a better idea of the show. I will say this, this show reminds me of Monty Python ! Some of the jokes Norsemen  are gut busting, and will almost have you rolling on the floor laughing. In an age of bad comedies this show is gold.  I just started watching season 2 the other day, and I just want to keep watching. The episodes are about a half hour long each, and it's the perfect time frame to get the story across. I wouldn't c...
