Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023)
Great animation. Terrible writing.
I'm not a hard-core 80s turtles fan but I grew up with the 03 animated series and lived through the Michael Bay reboots. Gotta say, I miss Michael a little bit.
The idea of this movie on paper was great. TMNT but animated with love and care like Into the Spiderverse. But that in itself was not enough to save this movie. The writing was atroctius and just unbelievable. I didn't understand half the dialouge that came out of the turtles mouths. And the completely unneeded amount of characters that served no purpose other than having cool looking mutants hanging around. A fun watch and that's it for me.
Linoleum (2022)
One of the best movies of all time
To write a full interpretation of this movie would be as thick as the encyclopedia Britannica. So a review will have to do. The amount of layers to peel back is unbelievable. Without spoiling anything, the movie absolutely challenges your brain to work things out and we have no choice but to try and make sense of it. By the end of the movie your mind is desperately trying to piece together the movie bit by bit to make sense of if all. Or maybe like one of the movies core themes: it's just not that simple. Oh if only. To say this movie has one of the craziest twist endings of all time, would be a cruel understatement.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022)
Better than people are making it out to be.
I did not go in with high expectations, but i did go in with specific expectations. And all those were met. I think it was a fresh modern feel with all the hipsters coming into town trying to change everything and it gave you a sense of empathy for Leatherface almost until he went bananas, oh my god this Leatherface felt so evil compared to 3D. It actually made him scary again. Most of the shots they put him in actually creeped me the F out. The cinematography in this one is done really well, up there with the original and the 03 remake and probably my personal favorite in that regard. The kills were awesome, really different from anything we've seen in the franchise so far, coming from someone who mained Leather in MK10 it feels like they definitely took some notes from the game, he was way more smart with how he used his weapons. I don't think him being smarter or as a lot are saying "trying to turn him into Michael Myers or Jason Vorhees" ruined the character for me because i mean its been 50 years since the original, there's absolutely no way his brain and thought process haven't changed even just a little bit. The bus scene was top tier, it felt like i was watching something that could very well show up on the news one of these days. Also, i don't care what anyone says, i know it was forced but the "Try anything and you're cancelled" line really made me get excited for what was about to happen and i think anyone who gets riled up at that line is just cause it struck a nerve with them lol. I think if you're a TCM fan you'll like it. If not, you'll probably just jump on the bandwagon and trash it.
They definitely kind of wasted Sally, wish she could have had a little more screen time and some one on one time with Lila because of them both being survivors and having that survivors guilt of them feeling like they should have died with their friends, cause that's what this movie is focused on, it's about dealing with that trauma and instead of running and letting it follow you or "haunt you" the rest of your life, facing it head on. (Both mentally and literally.) The ending was great, predictable, but great. Leather holding her sisters head and almost mocking her with it as she drove away was amazing. Over all the movie is pretty good, i enjoyed it immensely, there was moments that made my jaw drop and moments that made me go "lol wait what" not bad by any means but not the greatest ether. Definitely deserves a sequel, maybe now that the rights aren't being thrown around during production the next one can have some proper care and treatment and really be something great. Personally i'd like to find out what happened w Drayton after the original. Solid pick for horror movie night. 8/10 stars for me.
