A real classic from the glory days of SNL
This is a musical. Instead of show tunes, it's loaded with amazing Chicago Blues and Soul legends. John Lee Hooker, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Cab Calloway, Ray Charles, and the musical talents from SNL such as Donald Dunn, Matt Murphy, Steve Cropper, Willie Dixon, etc. In my opinion, it's a must-see, comedy classic.
Completely over-the-top action fun.
This is one of my favorite re-watch flicks. It's great action comedy. Jesse plays an emotionally damaged character who was programed by a top-secret government agency. He has no memory of any of that so he bumbles his way through figuring things out. A small town stoner, loser dude has mad skills that he's unaware of and a girlfriend that's way above his status. It's been a while since I've watched it but, I don't remember any woke elements.
A new, classic 80s-style suspense-horror flick!
A refreshingly unwoke film that ticks the boxes and delivers on its promise. It's a fun, popcorn thriller with a smooth soundtrack and lots of 80s callbacks. Suspenseful and violent, this movie has a classic feel with a satisfying ending. I won't spoil the surprise twist (and savvy viewers might guess it) but I can say Chekhov's 'gun' makes a welcome appearance as does the obligatory spooky maze. The agent of change is ruthless but many of us might have wanted a guardian angel or mysterious benefactor just like this. As one of the hapless victims muses, "be careful what you wish for"... The ironic thing is that if the Final girl had not gone nosing around then presumably nothing untoward would have happened to her family. The extreme conditioning would not have kicked in and there would have been no blow-back. In a sense, she invoked bad things but remained blithely unaware of her agency in it. Of course, this salutary lesson will be missed by many and even that won't detract from the fun. If you like 80s suspense-horror flicks then you will probably enjoy this one.
Very creative, suspenseful, and terrifying at times.
This was truly a very creative movie in the horror genre. Feminist Hollywood still can't just make a movie without portraying men as weaklings or predators and they managed to do both here. Still, even with the woke trash, there is still enough on the bone to really enjoy this. Inde Navarrette did an amazing job as Nikki and Michael Johnston did a good job as well. The director and writer Curry Barker's budget was only $750k and it has grossed over $300 million so far. He could be a director to watch moving forward.
