Borat Subsequent Moviefilm (2020)

Image
If there is a film in 2020 that is the edgiest and most outrageous film of the year, it is this film. The sequel to controversial comedian Sacha Baron Cohen's 2006 "Borat" is one of the most ridiculous films I have ever seen. There are so many things wrong with this film and that's what makes it a great comedic film. I have to say this film is just outrageous as "South Park".  It is one of the funniest films of the year.  This film follows the exploits of the aforementioned character and his mission to deliver his daughter to VP Mike Pence. Borat and his daughter travel throughout the US and partake in ridiculous ventures. This film is made as a joke that all people in the film are believing that Sacha Baron Cohen's character is real, as they are unsuspecting as the character interacts with them in real-time. It is absolutely bonkers and filled with dark humor throughout the whole movie and that's what will win over fans of the comedian and comedic f...

Bill and Ted: Face The Music (2020)

Image
It's been over 30 years since audiences were first introduced to the goofy exploits of surfer talkin' buddies Theodore "Ted" Logan (played by Keanu Reeves once again) and William "Bill" S. Preston Esq. (played once again by Alex Winter.) Ever since their debut in 1989's " Excellent Adventure", they come back stronger and funnier than ever. Though the film sometimes does go by a bit slow, this film brings back the nostalgia of the original film.  Director Dean Parisot honors the original film in most excellent fashion. His quirky vision of a goofy comedy is enjoyable to the max and is a great buddy comedy film. Some of the jokes may fall flat, but overall, this film is a good enough film in this very strange time right now. The film's dry humor is enough to get some laughs but I think that the story is much more feasible than the jokes.  It is very similar to that of the "Dumb & Dumber"  films. Though this film series hasn'...

Sausage Party (2016)

Image
It's " Toy Story" gone rogue to the highest degree. But only this time, delectable edibles are the main culprits of insanity. The film takes place on the Fourth of July weekend, and you know what that means: Barbecues Fireworks, and endless amounts of consumption of food. The latest comedic attempt from mediocre funny man Seth Rogen, is one of the worst things to ever come out of  the bowels in Hollywood. Food, Drinks, and other forms of consumption live in harmony at a grocery store called " Shopwell's". Each and every morning when the store opens for business, all delicacies burst out in a song about the " Gods"  also-known-as Humans. The plethora of delicacies are so determined, confident, and rambunctious as they anticipate to be taken off their respective shelves and come home with us to " The Great Beyond". Little did the very enthused decadents know that they are in for an extremely rude awakening. This was certainly a massive ...

Blazing Saddles (1974)

Image
From comedic " Hollywood " icon, director Mel Brooks makes one of cinemas most provocatively raunchy, extremely racist films. "Blazing Saddles",  as the name implies, it is very blazing with colorful language, wit, and buffoonery. "Blazing Saddles" stars Gene Wilder ( Young Frankenstein, Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory) and Cleavon Little ( Temperature's Rising). Both actors are amazing in this comedy as a small-town sheriff and magician. They shine best at the movies most questionable moments. And the films not so vital cast and characters also do a great job at providing laughs. Mel Brooks had a vision of  utmost and profound originality,  a very quirky and demented sense of humor when he planned this film. As a result, it pays out. This film is NOT to be viewed by children under 13. In fact, those with a very dull sense of humor, or get easily offended shouldn't bare witness to one of the greatest comedies ever made. Paramount Pic...

The Angry Birds Movie (2016)

Based on the flightless bird slinging app of the same name, “Angry Birds” makes its mesmerizing and colorful adaptation onto the silver screen. Angry Birds’ theatrical adaptation is a rare children’s film that has lots of witty humor that even parents will enjoy. What makes this movie such an enjoyable family motion picture is its pizzazz and blazing colors that dazzle through the entirety of the film. The film also does a terrific job at fabricating animation that looks realistic. Directors Clay Kaytis and Fergal Reilly shine in their directorial debut. They both excel at the art behind the film’s color, character depiction, and humor. These qualities never fade and stay consistent through the whole film. Kudos to the film’s casting director because the cast was brilliantly voiced in the movie. With voices only the ensembles voices resonate with their characters. With having received multiple accolades since its launch in 2009, and over two billion downloads, Angry Birds is a lo...

Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (2016)

Image
Raunchy, erotic, and downright goofy- Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising is the kind of comedic film that is slow at its beginning but builds up the right amount of momentum as it continues. Struggling to sell their house because of escrow, a repugnant excuse for parents played by Seth Rogen (The Interview) and Rose Byrne (Bridesmaids). Each of them display performances that are great and utterly inappropriate. The film also stars the likes of Zac Efron (High School Musical) and Chloe Moretz (Hugo). Efron’s role as a former college frat boy and former nuisance of Rogen and Byrne’s characters has moments in the film that will be pleasing to some. As for Moretz’s character a young savvy, happy-go-lucky girl, her character shows the dominance females can have over their masculine counterparts. Director of the film Nicholas Stoller makes his attempt to make a follow up film to 2014’s Neighbors pleasing in the best possible way, even if you have not witnessed the original film, this still suff...
