The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! Movie Review

A Great 80s Comedy

I'm somewhat surprised I haven't seen The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! before, but I finally got around to seeing it, and it was hilarious! Also, for the rest of the review, I'm just going to refer to the movie as, The Naked Gun.
The Naked Gun follows Detective Frank Derbin (Leslie Nielsen) as he attempts to stop a plot to murder Queen Elizabeth II.
This is a great 80s film. The acting, cinematography, and directing are all great. I found this film as a great film to unwind at the end of the day.
Leslie Nielsen as Frank Berlin was fantastic. He practically becomes the character and plays it so naturally. It almost feels as if this movie was tailored specifically for him. All the other actors in the film did a fine job as well.
I found the cinematography to be fun and functional. There are no wasted shots in The Naked Gun. Just simply, the camera work was good.
It looked like the director had a ton of fun making this film. David Zucker knew what he wanted and went for it.
I know this is a short review of The Naked Gun, but I don't have much else to say about the film. I found The Naked Gun to be a great comedy, and if you're looking to pass the time with a good laugh, then The Naked Gun is for you.

final score: 4/5

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...
