Kozí príbeh (2008)
a chaotic yet enjoying mess
Goat Story is a perfect example of a "so bad it's good" movie. This movie has no right to be as enjoyable as it is, especially with how many flaws it has. And there are a LOT of flaws which I will elaborate on in a bit.
I'll start off with the basic premise and a short description of the movie. The main character Jemmy moves to Prague (Prague is actually a real city in the Czech Republic) with his best friend Goat who is, surprise surprise, a goat. Jemmy meets a woman in Prague named Katy whom he develops feelings for immediately. Goat is jealous that Jemmy catches feelings for Katy and not her (weird I know). Prague is also getting a giant clock built by a character named Clockmaster Hamish. A poor student named Mathew becomes Hamish's apprentice. However Mathew is picked on and tormented by almost everyone in the town. The plans to the clock get ruined and the town freaks out.
Major spoilers ahead for the next part.
Now I will go more in detail of the plot and the chaotic nonsense it contains. Mathew is at a bar and some mean rich guys scribble on the clock plan that Hamish gave Mathew. This all happens while Mathew tries to impress them and buy them drinks. Mathew then gets humiliated in front of town as he is chained to one of those wooden boards that have a hole for the head and arms in the town square. Someone smacks Mathew with a fish and says "ol' fish in the mouth." Mathew afterwards makes a deal with the devil because he is fed up with everyone. I don't really understand what the deal was but afterwards Mathew gets a cool fit from the devil.
Some very offensively portrayed Chinese men ask for a clock from Hamish, Hamish shows them the clock but refuses to build them one. Mathew was spying on Hamish, and feeling betrayed, he lets the Mayor know that Hamidh showed the clock plans to others. Hamish is punished by having his eyes cut out. Hamish asks Katy to show him the clock one more time, while there Hamish takes out a part and screws the clock up. Hamish dies shortly after. Since Katy was there when it happened they think Katy did it, they then sentence Katy to a hanging. But actually they didn't hang Katy, they hung goat dressed up as Katy. Katy and Jemmy find goat hanged but goat didn't die because she stuck a pipe in her throat (I don't understand either). And that is the end.
Now I will go on about the major flaws this movie suffers from. First off, the plot is confusing to follow and makes no sense. The movie jumps from scene to scene without making any sense and it is just a jumbled mess and it's hard to follow along. The movie suffers from being way too detailed with the textures and extremely taxing to look at. It looks like I can see every pore on Jemmy's face. The way characters act is very strange, it doesn't make sense. And the movie is very chaotic. Every scene is messy and has too much going on. There are inconsistencies in the logic and plot. But despite all these flaws, the movie still is enjoyable.
The whole movie feels like a fever dream and the plot feels like it was written when all the writers were high. It is strange and absurd and I love it. I recommend watching the movie even just to see the weirdness.
I Am Mother (2019)
An incredibly enjoyable film!
I loved this film very much! It normally is hard for me to watch movies due to my adhd but this movie was a breeze to get through. The cinematography was top notch and kept me watching every second. The ambiance and set design is amazing and I'm amazed at how well it was made. The lab is beautifully created, huge props to the set designers. The droids were also beautifully built, they felt real and alive, even more than Star Wars droids! The story was also good, it wasn't too complex but it was enjoyable and encapsulates the feel of an overprotective yet loving mother. I'm so glad that I was able to watch this movie!
The Girl King (2015)
It's ok...
It's okay. I only watched it because it was in my Hulu watchlist and was expiring. Also I'm a huge dyke.
The acting was fine, the set design was fine, the costuming was fine. This film was just fine.
As a lesbian myself I felt like the whole queerness was lacking in authenticity. Like how a straight guy writes sapphics. Some scenes also felt really panders and for the male gaze.
There were also some scenes that were pretty meaningless and seemed only for padding out the runtime.
If you are like me and are restricted to only watching titles PG-14 or under due to strict parents. I guess this could work. If you are looking for quality queer film for queer folk, then you should probably find something worth your time.
Clifford the Big Red Dog (2021)
Changed to much from the original
Just started watching it but I can tell this is gonna be a ROUGH ride... (why did my family choose to watch this.) For one they added new characters and removed some old ones (i think) and they tried making the movie edgy-ish. Clifford is so uncanny. And the plot deviates way to much from the original for anyone who grew up with or watched it to enjoy it. Overall not fun.
The only good thing is that the first two adult women on screen were hot.
Goblin (2020)
goblin cool B)
Nt as good as goat story but still cool, also goblin eats dog and that made him happy. Also this movie taught me that if you watch rock n' roll you will die, very cool and great lesson B) . Also the goblin really likes scratching windows so if you get him windows as a gift he will be happy. Goblin also invaded KurtisTown and ate someones hamster which is sad but hey thats goblin B) ! Also goblin gets the mom preggy, hope goblin 2 comes out so we can see the child!
Elf (2003)
I dont like it but my dad worked on it
My dad (Jeremy Oddo) worked on it, I don't like this movie but he did the special effects which is cool. Uh so ya. Also it makes me super uncomfortable. Very iconic movie, i dont like it when he goes into the female shower room though it is very creepy,
The Croods: Family Tree (2021)
Underwhelming trash
I sat through one and a half minutes and this is utter garbage. The pacing was TRASH, the characters were choppily animated, the lighting was inconsistent, and the characters were bland. I get that this series is made for all ages but this show seems made for literal 6 year olds. Now I'm only a teen but even I know quality. Wow. This. Sucked.
The Mysterious Benedict Society (2021)
Slow at the start but great masterpiece
I'm definitely gonna read the book now plus the cinematography was amazing. The casting was also really good.
