My brother had recommended me to watch Submarine since he's stated that it's his favorite film ever. Since he told me to do so, I watched it straightaway and I found it to be very enjoyable but the way I require this after I've heard of it and before seeing this, I literally thought this is going to be a musical British comedy featuring songs by Alex Turner but no, it's just a straight out British comedy. Now I've never heard of him before but after the film has finished, I surprisingly heard the song while the credits roll and I'm thinking I've heard of this song before which is because my bro had played his songs while we're out somewhere, so now I know where this song is from. Oliver Tate is a school boy who is infatuated with his mischievous classmate, Jordana Bevan. After Oliver bullies a female classmate to impress Jordana, she invites him to secretly meet after school and takes pictures of them kissing. So now Oliver has found out about his parent's marriage is declining thinking that his mother has took her liking in comedian, Graham Purvis played by Paddy Considine. So now it's up to him to get his parent's relationship back on track while thinking about his true love, Jordana. Now since this is a comedy, I remember some parts that had me chuckle is the part in the opening where the teacher asks the students about what is "self-discovery" and what does he mean by that and one student answers "Having a w**k, sir?" and he gets sent to the office. Cor. When Oliver gets a note on his table which says "Open me", he opens it and it says "If you opened this, you're a c**k riding t**t." Hahahahaha. Yeah, I get that. Submarine is something that got me in stitches when it comes to something happens when something has gone wrong whether or not if you have or have not seen the film, you will be in stitches laughing and that's something that comes out of someone that doesn't want things go wrong whether it did or did not. I thought this was a musical at first but thought wrong when this is just a straight out comedy and this is got to be the most underrated ones out there alongside Trainspotting and many more British comedies and the way it ends, I didn't expect it to end like that which has me going "That's it?!" Wow. Since I got the hang of this one, this is the one I enjoyed and now I think it's the best one of 2010, so here's that.
I never thought we'd actually got a reboot sequel to Halloween like the one we got from Rob Zombie but for this one, this actually ignored the entire franchise and stuck to the reboot version of a sequel which takes place 40 years after the killing spree at 1978. This completely took the turn that never happened in the 1980's. With Jamie Lee Curtis coming back right after the last time she starred in the last Halloween film, Resurrection, let's dive right into this re-reboot Halloween film. On October 29, 2018, very convenient to be taken place at the time of year, the infamous serial killer Michael Myers, who has been institutionalized at Smith's Grove Psychiatric Hospital for decades following his killing spree in Haddonfield, is being prepared for transfer to a maximum-security prison. Two crime podcasters visits the hospital, where Aaron displays Michael's mask to him, to no effect. Laurie Strode still lives in fear of him, drinking herself into stuper and rarely leaving her fortified house. She has a strained relationship with her daughter Karen, whom the state took away from her when she was a child. The reason for that is because Laurie is crazy over that moment years ago. The night of October 30, as Michael is being transferred, the bus crashes and Michael escapes after murdering two people and stealing their truck. On the morning of October 31, Halloween Day, Michael once again goes on a rampage killing many people as possible non-stop. You know, with most horror films, the ones that are completely memorable that really stood the test of time which rather be really getting reboot sequels like this one but others don't considered to be reboots at all. Like many horror franchises really got revived at the time by getting direct sequels which I found out about like for example Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. It's no surprise that this one is a direct sequel to the 1970's Halloween when it already has many sequels before that. Well, this one including the others considered to be legacy sequels which is one of the reasons why the main stars don't get any screen time which I don't have a problem with it but still never as good as the originals. With what we got in this legacy sequel, I enjoyed it, not as good as the first which I can see why it didn't call it Halloween 2 but called it just "Halloween" which is why most recent legacy sequels didn't get numbers at the end which many people are going to get confused by which sequel or movie from the horror genre they have heard. Of course, they can't call this one just "Halloween 2,2,2" 'cause that might sound really stupid. Legacy sequels may not be everyone's cup of tea but considering that they're both direct sequels to their own franchises, they might get a use of them. On to the next one.
(Oh, boy. 3X) Not only because that I've been planning to watch Love with the passion since I had little interest in seeing this but this is not the first time that I'm ever going to watch a movie with very real sex. The first one I watched all the way through is In The Realm Of The Senses, so looks like it's going to be one explicit erotic experience that you'll never forget, maybe you will, I don't know. Murphy is an film student living in Paris. He receives a call at the apartment he shares with his partner Omi and their son, Gaspar. The caller is the mother of his ex-girlfriend Electra, who asks if Murphy knows of her daughter's whereabouts. She hasn't heard from her in months, and is worried, given her issues with depression and previous suicide attempts. So now we have to see many flashbacks about his past with Electra in general. I'm might not be the only one but some critics and audiences were shocked by the film's graphic sexual content, especially the opening scene which actually inspired audiences to film their reactions to the opening scene and share them on social media. Share them on social media? Come on, people, no person should ever want to see a graphic sex scene in many social media platforms. What will happen after they saw this, they would be sick in their stomachs. What will happen if they actually got a blue screen of death while watching it, they're gonna have to fix them with anti-virus. Jesus Christ, this world today, it's so out of control. So, with Love being very erotic, it shown a lot of his d**k and women's sexy privates. Mostly I'm into their privates because women are sexy but I'm glad I saw it and I'm glad this is the first time of reviewing a movie with unsimulated sex in it so with that said, this one is decent. Not the one I'll be rewatching anytime soon but I'm glad I saw it. Woowoowoowoo.
The Devil's Advocate is quite possibly one of more essential ones that really stood the test of time even when it comes to the following it had. With the exception of Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino appearing in it and due to another one of those movies by Warner Bros that I've not heard of as a kid but not had any interest in it whatsoever, I finally got to see it. So with that exception, let's get right to it. Kevin Lomax played by Keanu Reeves, is a defense attorney who never lost a case is being asked by a New York law firm to assist them with a jury selection after what had happen in court afterwards. After the jury delivers a not-guilty verdict, the head of the firm, John Milton played by Al Pacino, offers him a job, and he and his wife Mary Ann played by Charlize Theron, move to Manhattan. Kevin is assigned to represent a billionaire, who is accused of murdering his wife, his stepson, and a maid. He sees less of his wife and fantasizes about his co-worker. The film has itself an satanic theme to it even when it comes to the supernatural nature in New York City especially the sexualise nature to the point where it began perversely. I'm surprised to see Delroy Lindo who does Voodoo magic but for some reason he was uncredited for the role. I don't know why but you won't get to see him in it a lot. There's is a lawsuit that actually happened in which it had something to do with the sculpture featuring human forms as you see in many scenes in Milton's place as it pops up in which Frederick Hart who own the sculpture didn't take kindly to the usage it presented in the film without his permission so that's why people called this one "Hart v. Warner Bros., Inc." If you own the copy of The Devil's Advocate you will see a notice label at the back mentioning the sculpture lawsuit that says and I quote: "The large white sculpture of human forms on the wall of John Milton's penthouse in "Devil's Advocate" is not connected in any way and was not endorsed by the sculptor Frederick Hart or the Washington National Cathedral, joint copyright owners of the Cathedral sculpture "Ex Nihilo" in Washington, D.C." Unquote. Well, I don't know about you, guys, but people who involved themselves in this, what are you gonna do, what are you gonna lose? "Lose? I don't lose! I win! I win! I'm a lawyer! That's my job. That's what I do." "Look, but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, but don't swallow." What can I say about Devil's Advocate that hasn't been said by anybody? Well, all I can say is it's such a good film. It's supernatural, but not scary, sexual, but not erotic, satanic, but not sinful. Hahaha. It has some moments with Al Pacino with his hilarious scene stealing scenes and charismatic moments. If you have a devil inside you, just don't listen to the bad seed that he is been giving you. Surely you won't want to have a dead guy on your conscience.
My friend of mine told me to watch MouseHunt and as I was thinking about it, I finally got the chance in doing so and what do I think of MouseHunt? Well, all I gotta say is that, I enjoyed it. Yeah, I said it, I enjoyed watching MouseHunt. With the stars of Nathan Lane and British comedian, Lee Evans, they really have chemistry as the slapstick comedy really stands out. This is kind of like the Italian Laurel and Hardy slapstick comedy shtick. String magnate Rudolph Smuntz played by William Hickey, passes away bequeathing his financially cash-strapped factory and a dilapidated Victorian mansion to his sons Ernie and Lars played by Nathan Lane and Lee Evans. Following the will reading, both brothers suffer setbacks in their lives, Ernie, who shunned the family business to become a chef, accidentally loses his restaurant when a cockroach hidden in a box of cigars, causing the mayor to suffer a heart attack. Lars is kicked out of his house by his wife after he honored a promise to his late father to refuse to let a rival company, Zeppco International, buyout Smuntz String. They reunite in a diner and learn of the other's misfortune, leading them to spend the night in the mansion they inherited. They couldn't sleep 'cause of the noise something is making which turned out to be a mouse. So now it's up to them to kill it while other problems have been caused mainly by the mouse. With that I heard that it's directed by a newcomer at that time, Gore Verbinski. And the film also has some of the supporting cameo's like Christopher Walken and Ernie Sabella. Oh yes, if you think of Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella appearing in a movie together, you better think of Timon and Pumbaa from The Lion King. In fact, Nathan Lane actually says one line in the movie which got me laughing while gobsmacked when he actually says "Ah, Hakuna Matata." (Laughing) I'm not kidding with what I'm actually seeing. It's just that one mind-blowing moment that really got me. With what I looked in the trivia, Ernie Smuntz bows to a sheik who is seeking to bid for his home. In doing so, he greets him with "Hakuna Matata," which is the song he sings in The Lion King. So with Ernie Sabella appearing in one scene, we have Lee Evans like, "When he was a young warthog." "When I was a young warthog." "Very nice." "Thanks." Yeah, with those moments in time, everything's gas. And I'm glad I actually saw it. Noted that it's not nearly as forgotten like it had a memorable title, Mouse Hunt, as it is a kids film with a dark scenes and a few crude moments too, I can say that this is worth recommending if they haven't seen it, I sure as hell I have been recommended as it was trying too hard to be dark but not gritty and not gory. I think that joke's been underused by the time I'm doing this review. As it is, It's definitely worth recommending to the people if they wanted to have a good time for the Laurel and Hardy, Hakuna Matata, slapstick comedy kids flick. Truth be told that I'm not the only one who thinks of this, but doesn't Nathan Lane sounded almost exactly like YouTuber, JonTron?
