Blazing Saddles Movie Review

So, people kept telling me to watch Blazing Saddles, and so I did, but it was over hyped.
I consider myself a fan of Gene Wilder, as I love Young Frankenstein and Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, but I couldn't really feel a strong performance from him this time around.
I'm not going to explain the story for this movie, frankly because I was kinda bored throughout the film.
Don't get me wrong, there are a couple of well placed jokes in this movie, but it's just that I really couldn't get into it overall. It just wasn't that entertaining, and there are a ton of better comedies that I've seen from that era.
Honestly this movie just seemed like it was just a paycheck for these actors and nothing more. I mean I understand that this is a job for them, but I didn't feel like they actually cared about this movie.
I kind of expected more, and I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up for this film. Would I recommend watching it? If you are a Gene Wilder fan, I think you should see it at least once, but otherwise stick to some of his other films.

final score: 3/5

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...
