The Country Bears (2002)

This is a god send of a movie

[10/10 · 20 May 2022]

The country bears is not only hilarious, but it teaches life lessons, in fact, this movie is a way of life. The characters are super relatable and the music in this film is so amazing that even Elton John showed up to get in on the action.

The muppets even ripped this entire movie off at one point, the muppets movie is literally just the country bears, but with muppets instead. In general this film is a must see for anybody with any common sense because it is just too darn good to pass up. It has a great plot, diverse characters, and great and memorable messages. You should go watch it now, because I don't think you will be able to bear with yourself if you don't.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2021)

Not as good as the first 3 live actions, but not awful

[6/10 · 5 December 2021]

I watched this new diary of a wimpy kid movie since I enjoyed watching the original live action films... And I wanted to see how bad this one would be. But to my surprise it was not actually as bad as I thought it was going to be.

The animation does need some getting used to, since it is odd seeing the characters, in a 3D style, and in colour. But after a while, the film is reasonably enjoyable. There are some good jokes.

In general, the film is not as good as the other ones, but it's also a good way to get a new generation into Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Money Heist (2017–2021)

Violent, exciting, slick and it is a steal

[10/10 · 3 December 2021]

La Casa de Papel or Money Heist is a phenomenal crime drama. This show is extremely exciting for the most part and was the quickest I had watched a show back to back. It is extremely addicting, since you are always curious as to what the gang are getting themselves into.

The show centers around a group of thieves who set out to accomplish the most extravagant heists in the world. The show has been written extremely well and you are always left sitting on the edge of your seat. The first two seasons are the best, and the last three also live up to the excitement. The acts of the Professor are always very slick which adds to the excitement of the show. It also has a great soundtrack and has a good mixture between violence and music.

In general, La Casa de Papel is a real treasure to be found on Netflix. The show is also so well written that it seems like it could actually be based on true events. I definitely recommend this.

Cars (2006)

KACHOW!!!

[9/10 · 3 December 2021]

Cars is an all time classic of Pixar's, the visuals are amazing, there is a good storyline, and characters that are easily enjoyed.

The film centers around rookie racecar, Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) being stranded in a small town, just off of route 66, right before his big race to win the Piston Cup. The film is all around, a bit goofy and enjoyable, I personally really like the movie, yet it is not the best Pixar film available, so that is why I am rating it a 9.

Anyway, the movie is a lighthearted film for the family, or just anyone really, it has humour, action, and a journey of discovery. Along with the stunning set design of Radiator Springs. There are also a range of well loved characters, like everybody's favourite, Tow Mater (Larry the Cable Guy). I definitely recommend this film if you are needing a feel good movie. It is yet another great animation from Pixar.
