Rocky
8.7/10 stinky bananas Gotta love Rock. How can you not? Iconic character. Iconic movie. Rocky is one of the few cases where the story of the making of the movie is arguably better than the movie itself. The life and career of Sylvester Stallone is one for the ages. Absolute legend. Anyway, the first half of the movie is a bit of a slow burn. It's not bad, it just takes a while to hit its stride. Once it gets going, it does not look back until Rocky 5, then it all comes crashi

Crazy, Stupid, Love
10/10 stinky bananas THE greatest rom-com ever made. Brilliant movie. Excellent script. Excellent story. Excellent pacing. Excellent acting. Excellent, excellent, excellent. It goes without saying, but Gosling and Carrell are fucking fantastic in this. They pitch a perfect game together. So fucking funny. Their chemistry is off the charts. All of the characters are great and the story is endlessly entertaining. The payoff in the backyard scene is incredibly gratifying. All-ti

Frankenstein
7.5/10 stinky bananas Good. It's good. Nothing to write home about. Visually stunning movie. Fantastic work by Guillermo del Toro and crew. Performances are strong. Oscar Isaac is very good, as he always is. The movie completely loses me after Victor kills Mia Goth. She dies and then Victor decides to make it his life's mission to kill his unkillable monster. I don't get why. Number 1 - it's Victor's fault that she died, he fucking shot her. Number 2 - you can't kill Frankens

Heat
7.2/10 stinky bananas A really good movie that falls off HARD in the final act. I got lots to say, and I don't really feel like writing full sentences, so this review is going to have a healthy serving of point form. If you don't like it then... "that's too damn bad" - Sigourney Weaver's Grandpa in Holes. Anyway, here's what I like: Pacino's performance is truly unhinged and I absolutely love it. The whole cast put in great performances, De Niro and Pacino are a cut above the

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
5.6/10 stinky bananas Christmas vacation is not the Christmas classic that it's made out to be. The first half of the movie is bad, but as the movie builds (and chaos ensues), it gets funnier. The end result is a half-decent Christmas movie with a fantastic theme song. And that's all I have to say about that. See ya.

The Christmas Chronicles
0/10 stinky bananas Pathetic excuse for a Christmas movie. Consider me offended. Awful script. Terrible concept. The acting... holy smokes. The little girl is the worst actress of all time. Whose niece is that? There is no chance she auditioned and the casting director chose her to be in this movie. I refuse to believe that I live in a world where that may have occurred. How much did they pay Kurt Russell to do this? 40 million dollars? I can't imagine he read the script befo

A Very Jonas Christmas
4.5/10 stinky bananas It's practically a Hallmark movie. It has a healthy mix of fun charming moments and some extraordinarily dumb scenes. It's like a bag of Chicago mix popcorn, but instead of the cheese and caramel mix, it's half cheese popcorn and half little popcorn-sized pieces of shit. The Jonas Brothers were actually quite good in this movie. Pretty damn funny. Certainly an upgrade over the washed-up actors and soap opera stars that are typically in Hallmark movies. T

Jingle All the Way
8.0/10 stinky bananas Great Christmas movie. Must watch every holiday season. Gotta love Arnold. His line delivery is one of a kind. It is so unbelievably preposterous. I fucking love it. Quick rankings... Actors with unique line delivery skills: Arnold Schwarzenegger Christopher Walken Nic Cage Good Christmas story. An absentee father that will do absolutely anything to do right by his kid. No complaints there. Phil Hartman steals the show. So fucking funny. Easily the best
