Sausage Party (2016) - Movie Review

Sausage Party is an R-Rated animated film about...well...food. Just like how toys were alive in Toy Story but unknown to humans, the same concept is applied here on food, fully utilizing its rating.

Now the concept itself was very fun and entertaining. Just seeing food items stereotyped according to real world traits was hilarious, and the jokes/situations that ensued with it. And there were some great scenes, two in particular, which you've probably seen in the trailers.

Problem is, concept alone is not enough, and that is where this film faltered. Instead of creating creative and fun dialogue that complements the concept, Seth Rogen and the team just added crude humor, tons and tons of profanities and sexual innuendos, in order to raunch it up to the max. And while it does reel you in at the start with the novelty of a 3D animated movie with an R-rating, it all just gets old really fast. Just because the food is saying 'Fuck' for like 200th time doesn't make it more funny. To top it off, the last 10-15 mins of the movie just got too gross and overboard. It was some shocking stuff. O_O

Anyway, really missed opportunity I would say. They could done a lot more with the concept. Some great scenes aside, and the aforementioned concept hilarity, it's nothing special.

6/10

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016) - Review

This movie is based on a true story about the attack on an american embassy and a secret CIA base in Benghazi, Libya, on the 9/11 anniversary in 2012. And how a few numbers of of Ex-Soldiers managed to repel the attack. Directed by Micheal Bay, I was surprised to see him holding back his Bay-ism and deliver a straight forward focused film. The story got a long build up at the start, setting up the location, the characters and the situation. And then chaos. What I liked most about this film was the fact that you felt just as lost as the soldiers and people in this movie. The confusion, the chaos, the uncertainty, it was delivered quite nicely, creating tension and thrill. There are a lot of characters in the movie, but ultimately it is focused on these soldiers, and while the movie could have done a better job developing them, what it did was good enough in a sense that it worked for the movie. I liked em. Acting varied, with some delivering pretty good performances. Also, again wi...

Bridge of Spies (2015) - Review

Steven Spielberg comes back after three years (Last movie being Lincoln in 2012) and shows us that he still got it. Bridge of Spies is a film based on a true story about an american lawyer, James B. Donovan, who during the cold war defended a Russian Spy and handled the exchange his exchange. Tom Hanks plays as Donovan and he needs no introduction. He's yet again brilliant in this film and is his usual extremely likable self. Other characters delivered great performances as well, particularly the Russian spy, played brilliantly by Mark Rylance. He didn't had many scenes but I loved him in all of the ones he was in. The movie is almost 2 and half hour long and is almost entirely dialogue based and I enjoyed the hell out of it. It didn't felt like the movie dragged on or got boring or anything. It was interesting from start to finish. The dialogue delivery was great and just like many of Spielberg's previous movies, there were many long takes that you often don't...

Baywatch (2017) - Movie Review

Baywatch is a movie based on the old TV series of the same name. It's about a bunch of lifeguards on a beach who try to uncover drug smuggling in their area...yeah, that is the plot. It's dumb, it's stupid, but I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't that bad. Don't get me wrong, it's not good, but it wasn't horrible either. The movie actually had some fun in it. The Rock, as always, was charismatic, funny and likable; and Zac Efron, surprisingly, was similar to that. He got ripped AF for the movie. Alexandra Daddario was fun as well, although any movie gets bonus points for just including her in my book. Priyanka Chopra was in it as well, and between her in this and Deepika Padukone in XXX: The Return of Xander Cage, Priyanka definitely was the better one. There were legit funny scenes sprinkled throughout, but there were also a shit ton of scenes that tried too hard to be hilarious but fell flat instead. Baywatch also had a large dosage...
