Foreign films to save the day!
(NO SPOILERS) If you haven't seen the first Troll (A Norwegian film.) you should! This is a fun follow up in the same spirit. It's a solid 6/10 and has a bunch of fun moments. I highly recommend watching both in the original Norwegian audio with English subtitles. (The overdubs are cheesy, as always.) The first Troll is slightly better, but this addition didn't fall too short. Both are fun lighthearted popcorn movies. If you like fun 90s movies like Twister (The original, not the horrible new remake Twisters.), Lake Placid, Godzilla (with Matthew Broderick) etc... these movies fall into that vein. WOKE STUFF: There's basically nothing woke in this movie (Or the first one... as far as I can remember.) other than some typical "female empowerment".
It's the new deal right in the middle
This is the second film I've watched where we get bombed from the side with a gay couple injected in the middle of the film for absolutely no reason. His husband is possessed. Who's writing these scripts? Do they have to actually tick individual boxes to get the green light? I'd be offended if I were gay. The film takes like a potshot at them and includes the gays just because, for no reason aside from thinking they're such snowflakes that they can't even make it through a movie without at least ONE gay couple in it. Anyhow, Baby Blue did not turn out as bad as I thought. Once I saw that the cast was YouTube influencer video log types, I immediately hoped they all got killed in the worst way by Baby Blue but as the movie goes on they settle down a bit and it turns mostly into a watchable horror movie. The kids still are obnoxious, brain dead goons created by social media, but they're digestible. Watch this movie if only to see for yourself the gay couple wedged right in the middle. It's kind of crazy.
A kind-of Rom Com Christmas Jingle Bell Heist Movie
As far as Christmas films go, Jingle Bell Heist lives up to that. I like Olivia Holt as Sophia- she's kind of sexy in a Christmas sort of way and plays the part well. The plot is kind of cringe mainly, I think, to the outlandish plot in the second act. It's hard to explain. By the resolution in the third act, things come together well enough for Jingle Bell Heist to qualify as a watchable film and not one that belongs on The Hallmark Channel. It's certainly not one of my top Rom Coms that I like to watch for the pure sappiness and predictability of the story, but I can recommend it on a Sunday afternoon if you're down for a campy, somewhat love and capers story.
Pretty good, though some nonsense
I'm really enjoying this, though there are some annoying things. First several of the women are massively disrespectful, manipulative cunts and there's an undercurrent of 'men are bad and keeping us down so we have to spy on and try to poision them and such' with some of it. Little John is a big black dude, don't pretend it wasn't on purpose. I actually like the character, but it's the fact they do this shit on purpose as some kind of retarded message. And at one point he meets 3 'brothers' and one ends up being a girl with a guys name.. it comes across as new age faggotry intentionally as they tend to do this intentionally but I can't really tell. It 'could' match them wanting to survive out in the forest and not wanting others to know.. but you know, it's probably not. If it wasn't for that it would be rated alot higher. I get sick of this shit coming in to ruin shows. Other than that a good storyline for the most part. Kind of makes me want to go back to old robin hood movies to see it without the stuff i've mentioned. Maybe I should try the 2009 Robin Hood show that I just found out existed.
