Newest Review is LIVE!!! In between Pokemon Go, I saw a weird movie today
Hello All,
So my guess is that most people right now are out playing Pokemon Go, and rightly so. It’s actually quite a fun game, and if you’ve ever been a Pokemon fan, now is the time to get back into it.
However, since this is not a video game review blog, let’s get back to movies if only for a moment okay?
I ended doing a variety of things today, including getting a new phone, pre ordering tickets for an upcoming limited release movie (teaser teaser teaser), and seeing Swiss Army Man. I got to be honest, I’ve been wanting to see this one for a while. Especially when the reviews calling it one of the weirdest movies ever made came rolling in. So naturally I was quite eager to see it for myself. So what’s my opinion on it? Let’s find out together shall we?
Plot Summary - Hank (Paul Dano) has been stranded on a deserted island and has lost all hope of making it home. However, when a corpse (Daniel Radcliffe) washes up on the shore of the island, Hank strikes up a friendship with the deceased, leading them on an epic quest of friendship and determination to make it home.
Pros - Where to start? Honestly, this probably has to be one of the very few times where I can say I enjoyed basically everything about this movie. It’s very surreal, and has some really beautiful, and entertaining imagery to go along what’s basically a movie about trying to find happiness in life, that’s in the guise of a buddy comedy movie. The two leads are great together, the story moves along at just the right pace, and even the ending manages to take a somewhat cliched ending and turn in on it’s head in terms of how it’s presented. I honestly don’t know what else I can add on to that.
Cons - It’s definitely not a movie for everyone. A lot of people are going to see and just flat out hate it, and I can totally understand. I’m trying to not sound pretentious about this, but it’s a really niche type of film.
Final Score - 10/10
This definitely ranks as possibly one of the weirdest movies I have ever seen. Yet at the same time, I cannot deny how much I enjoyed it.
Next - Ghostbusters. The reboot of a classic film series that everyone is going to love…...and I’m the king of siam.
