Saw Guardians 3, and holy cow what a ride. No spoilers here this film will not disappoint you, it is a wild ride that you will love from start to finish. Also PLEASE stick around for the ending credits. 2 HUGE surprises that you will hate missing.
What can I say I have been a fan since the 1st film, and loved every single one. But this 3rd one, the best of all. Hell the main reason this review is here is we get to learn Rocket’s backstory and you will love him even more.
A very solid 10/10
You know a film is good when no one gets up in the middle of it. That is what happened here.
Turning Red have gotten reviews so far that either praise the film or bash it… so where does mind fit in? Somewhere the the middle.
Turning Red is a very enjoyable film, for a while I felt like red panda hairs were on me some how. I really enjoyed how the character Meilin “Mei” Lee interacted with her friends and family. Oh what a family, without going into spoilers they play a big part in this film and Meilin “Mei” Lee’s grandma is a big part of that. So is discovering who you really are.
I will go on record that it is no Zootopia. But I did enjoy Turning Red. That’s why I said I am in the middle. I can recommend it and give it a 7 out of 10. Old or young as long as you enjoy animated films you will love Turning Red.
The House is an animated film that it is said to be both a “Mind Bender”, and a “Thriller”. In my opinion it’s both and then some. First I should explain The House is divided in to 3 segments #1 features humans in a horror/ thriller involving a crazed builder and a mad man as well as a family. This is without a doubt the creepiest thing I ever seen, and all you want to see is the kids getting out alive.
The #2 features a anthro mouse who happens to be a house flipper. The only thing I can say it plays on people’s fear of bugs. Which it is better than any other horror film period. I swear you will be left checking your own place for bugs.
The final segment #3 features anthro cats, and to me was a thankful break. The setting is the same home, a woman who is fighting a massive flood. Tenants who aren’t paying rent, but are her good friends… and a no joke Zen Carpenter and the way the film ends. You can see I am not giving any spoilers here… will make you smile.
After being asked several times in furson asked my opinion here is my review
You seen the trailer so I don’t have to go over the plot. Okay I admit what some say is quite true. This film isn’t as good as the earlier films… BUT!!!
It does one thing right, IT’S FUN!!!
It takes every plot point and builds up to this, I admit I loved seeing Frankenstein, The Werewolf, The Mummy, and The Invisible Man in their human form was great. Even the gag about The Invisible Man being naked all this time. They just react to what we have been thinking all this time.
The ending is the ending, we knew the Hotel Transylvania series had to end at some point. But if you look at it this way. This is far better than that last Shrek film.
The basic plot of Dune could be shorten to Noble family movies to desert planet to mine “Spice”. Only to get double crossed by their Emperor and wiped out save for 2. If you want spoilers there it is, but if you are curious why you might see this film. Tons of action, many, many die, epic as there is no other word for it.
I know that there are more complete reviews that go into detail.
But I will give you one thing they don’t say. That this is the best version of Dune I have ever seen, and if you like “EPIC” tales you should really check it out.
I will fully admit I came aware of Wish Dragon via social media, namely Facebook and Twitter posts. Now finally seeing it, the film wasn’t really what I expected, in fact it’s far better.
Lets start off it’s very similar to Disney’s Aladdin and the Wish Dragon reminds me so much of The Genie. Of course there are differences, namely the father of the rich woman is about to go bankrupt, and the mother of our hero Dan is the kind of mother we all wish we had.
For a while it felt as if I was watching a clone of Disney’s Aladdin, and it made me feel uncomfortable.
Until…
Li Na finally realizes that this young man Din is her old childhood friend. This is where the film totally shines and comes in on it’s own. Wants vs What you really need, the truth about the Wish Dragon and why they became a Wish Dragon and oh yeah, Li Na father dies all in the name of greed. But does he stay dead, you won’t get the answer from me.
Wish Dragon has such an amazing ending, Let’s just say this, “Everyone gets the ending they deserve”, even the Wish Dragon… and a God.
Really I am not joking, and 10 broken tea cups are apart of it.
Really if you can hold up during the parts that are so heavily influenced by Disney’s Aladdin. You will get to a very happy ending where even the Henchmen of the evil villain have a part in that.
Apparently the bad guy “Pockets” hadn’t heard the old saying, “Because what you wish for, you might just get it”. The way he gets his is more or less his own fault.
In short the Wish Dragon is a good film, I give it more a 7 out of 10 and that is mainly for the last half of the film. If you have Netflix you should give it try.
I will admit I heard some not so good reviews on this film. But decided to watch it anyway and I was blown away. A story line just as deep as in The Last Airbender TV series, enough visuals that I swear it would take repeated viewing just to absorb it all. With an ending frankly I never saw coming.
Raya and The Last Dragon is worth watching you will find a great story, with enough of a mix that the film will draw you in, and your scared to take your eyes off the screen. Because you are scared you will miss something. I found when I had to get up I had to pause the film, just so I wouldn’t miss something. Which frankly was a lot, and I still am not sure when I wrote this, did I see hints at other Disney films.
In short this film is fantastic and I give it my highest recommendation easily a very solid 10.
I am delighted to say Flora and Ulysses is just as great as it looks. In this film you have an animal control officer who is obsessed with squirrels, a completely mad cat, and so many truly wonderful characters that I find it impossible just to name one. Everyone was great, and so was Ulysses. Like Rocket Raccoon you will love that squirrel, there character is truly wonderful, a cross some where between Superman and a lovable pet.
Ulysses changes an entire family from divorcing to everyone is back together as one. What can I say I love this film!!!
If you don’t have Disney Plus right now, find someone that has it and see this film… NOW
Being a history buff and a fan of animation, your very well aware of the historical inaccuracies many films. Even though I do love the animated Mulan, it doesn’t even come close to the way things really were.
With that said, the live action Mulan is more accurate, although at times it looked more like many of those Kung Fu action films that come out of Hong Kong for the most part.
All I can say it is watchable and I actually enjoyed it. Which is something to say since I had originally planned on watching it in the theater. Although not as good as the animated version, there is nothing wrong with the film, but it does not compare with the 2009 Chinese production. If you get a chance to see this I highly recommend doing so…if you want to see a terrific live action version. I think Disney would have done better if they used the 2009 writers.
Once again it’s watchable, and you might even like it.
But in the meantime check out the trailer for the 2009 film
Some might be wondering why am I reviewing, what is now a 48 year old movie? Simply because of my Amazon Prime membership, I was allowed to see the film for the very first time with no ads and surprisingly intact.
Let me start out by saying given the way furry art is these days, the art of the film could have been done today by furries.
Be warned some of the following images are NSFW PERIOD, and I repeat NSFW. So no complaining later after all I did not warn you.
Also given that the film is older than most of my readers, I am going to include plenty of spoilers as I see no way of telling you the story of this 1 hour and 20 min movie without including them.
The film starts out in the park where Fritz and his 2 friends try and preform in the park (they play guitars) and failing…
After they see these 3 women go after a crow, who turns out to be gay they go hunting for women. Not to kill but have sex.
Noted the orgy scene in the bathtub, but only after they had some weed. Yes drug and alcohol use is in this movie in fact it’s a key plot device.
It is a strange mix, I would agree human anatomy and sometimes male sex organs, but the female ones are always there. Very much like today’s furry art. Each character identifies itself as a different species for example cops are pigs and African Americans are crows, and generally in the film males only wear clothes above the waist.
Take this later scene where Fritz wants to be apart of the crow community, and almost starts a bar fight, but cooler heads. Which then lead to stealing a car, the cops get involved and this happens.
See what I am saying of how even this is a 48 year old movie it’s very much furry before there even was furry.
Later Fritz and his new friend wind up at the crow’s place and after drugs…the inevaluable happens.
After this Fritz wants the crows to rise up and fight The Man. This only echos the Black Power Movement and it is only by accident he starts a Police Riot where many crows are killed and Fritz is on the run.
After a friend picks him up they make their way across the country only to break up and leaving Fritz in the desert. All because he could not tell of the engine was broken or they were just plain out of gas.
This then leads Fritz to some creatures we would called Terrorists these day and gets radicalized.
Now get this he gets himself involved in a plot to blow up a power plant.
I included this image to show you how far away Fritz is from that dynamite. Which his associate is about to set off while he is up there, and yes Fritz is blown up. Not killed, but only to wind up later in the hospital covered head to toe with bandages.
Later 4 of his female friends show up at the hospital and Fritz is in bad shape. But once he awakens this happens.
I kid you not the film ends with an orgy in his hospital room with a cop standing guard on the door crying.
For an old film it holds up remarkably well, and I would agree it’s a bit dated in some parts. But for the time it was made makes perfect sense. If you want to see a mainstream yiff with a good story. Check out Fritz the Cat, and you don’t have to subscribe to Amazon Prime like I did to see this. It is available though multiple sources and many of them are free. I bet the filmmakers would be surprised that quite a few furries consider Fritz the Cat, a furry film, even thought it wasn’t meant to be.
