Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift (1/8/24)

 Tokyo Drift


   I have always been a fan of the Fast and Furious franchise except for this movie. The first time I watched this movie I rated it below a three. However, recently I have gotten into the JDM cars (Japanese domestic market) and decided to rewatch it. After rewatching it, I realized how great this movie actually is in several different areas. It shows some positive messages like growth, determination, and trust while also exploring the concept on networking. Another big thing about this movie is that it's the only movie in the Fast and Furious franchise that is almost completely about cars. After Fast and Furious 4, all the movies become ridiculous. Things like heisting a vault from a drug kingpin or taking a car into space is stupid. After rewatching, I would bump this movie up into my top five for sure.

    See? You are starting to get a little more in-depth with your analysis. Commenting that this is the only one about cars means you are looking at the franchise a little more analytically. Keep pushing. See if you can go deeper.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (5/13/24)

  Puss in Boots: The Last Wish     I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would. When I was younger, I loved the original puss in boots movie. I watched is so many times. I saw the trailer for this movie in a theater a while back and wasn't very interested in watching it since I was a lot older. I recently found it on my recommended page on Netflix and decided to give it a shot. I just want to say that this movie brought back so many childhood memories. The plot of the movie was amazing and the action was great. I loved Death's character especially his theme song. The idea that Puss's time is constantly running out and Death is always waiting was such a creative idea. I would highly recommend this movie to people regardless if you think you are too old to watch movies made for kids. Some of them are still very entertaining. I wish I watched this in theaters when it was out.

Tag (2/26/24)

  Tag      This movie was awesome. The movie was also based off a true story about a friend group who played a game of tag for 20+ years. The movie was enjoyable to watch since it was not slow. This show was the more entertaining and cinematic version of the tv show ultimate tag.  The ending revealing that Hoagie was going to die soon and that this was the last year to try and tag Jerry for the first time in 30 years made the whole movie have a deeper meaning. This movie is a strong reminder that nothing lasts forever and that we should cherish our friendships and memories. This movie makes me wish I had a friend group like this but it will probably never happen unless I meet some true characters in college. This movie was good and I would recommend it to some people. This movie was not a super action filled movie. It was more of a comedy movie.

Happy Gilmore (5/6/24)

  Happy Gilmore     Happy Gilmore has to be one of the best comedy movies in existence. The storyline of hockey player to golfer was amazing. As funny as the movie was, it also has great messages. The theme of constant failure and the need to adapt and find another solution should be a message everyone takes away from the movie. Happy failed to make the hockey team several years in a row but his powerful shot allowed him to get an amazing career in golf. The movie is a great example about how failure opens up other doors and allows you to learn from your mistakes.     I also find this movie relatable since I play both sports. When Happy starts swearing like a sailor missing the ball, I think about how similar we are. We hit a bad shot and start having a rampage on the course. Happy's attitude due to his hockey career is also very accurate. I have had teammates who get into nonstop fights every single game and get ejected. The movie did a fabulous job with Happy'...
