Let’s Review Every Movie Ever Made Redux Part II: The Revenge

 Well It’s time to watch another four movies and discuss them! Weehoo! I really don’t know how else I can make an opening paragraph for this kinda blog post! Weehoo! Weehoo isn’t a thing anyone says.

5. Prayer of the Rollerboys (1990)

This movie was a fucking hoot and a half. It was a movie where society is just starting to break down. It’s not like The Road Warrior just yet but it’s getting there. It’s actually pretty neat to see society like this. Corey Haim plays a guy just trying to get by who has a younger brother and a father figure in Julius Harris a big old black man. He saves a member of a fascist youth gang. They made a drug that sterilizes the undesirables who they sell it too. Corey Haim’s character goes undercover to help out a cop because the cop will help Corey’s brother. Corey Haim’s character is also old friends with the leader of the group. Who who also Paul from Sleepaway Camp. That guy was so good at playing a charming slimy shithead. This was a fun action film that I very much enjoyed. If you like direct to vhs movies you’ll probably have a good time with this one.

6.) Mission Impossible 6: Fallout (2018)

I really really enjoy the first four Mission Impossible movies. Yes, I even enjoyed part 2 which everyone hates apparently. Trust me I’ve seen stuff that makes that movie look like it’s the best thing ever made. They were charming fun, willing to be a bit over the top, JUST serious enough to take the entire film serious but willing to be comedic. I didn’t really like part 5 because I thought they took themselves WAY too seriously. I have to say I liked part 6 a bit more even though it’s a clear sequel to five even bringing back the bad guy from that one to it. This pretty much suffers from the same problem I had with 5. Takes it self WAY too seriously. A lot of the action was just not the most amazing, although I did really like the crazy helicopter shit at the end. I dunno but these movies just aren’t hitting it for me like the first four did. Port will disagree and be a buttlord.

7.) Battle Royale 2: Requiem (2003)

Wow our first Japanese film on this post is a fucking DUD. I remember really enjoying the original film when I watched it probably 20 years ago because I am an old and will turn to dust soon. Anyway the movie involved the government making a class full of ninth graders kill each other for some crazy government reason. The last two who survived have become terrorists wanting to get rid of the whole government and adults. Anyway a new class of kids are sent after the terrorist group and you can really tell this movie was directed by two people and not in the hilariously wild way say something like Spookies was. That movie was hilariously insane because two people with very different ideas for that movie. This one was 45 minutes of actually reletively interesting stuff (I seriously was wondering why so many people on letterboxd didn’t like it during those first 45 minutes) Then the class is saved by the terrorists becuase they use an EMP that blows up all the electrical doodads that are on their necks. That will explode if they don’t do what the government wants. Then it’s a bunch of shit that’s just thrown together and you want it all to end. It meanders all over the place. It doesn’t seem to know what the point it’s trying to get across is even. It’s all just a really big mess that I wish was more like the first 45 minutes but hey we can’t always get what we want.

8.) Sorceress (1995)

This poster is awesome but very misleading. It makes you believe it’s gonna be some wild horror film and that’s what I was in the mood for when I decided to watch it. It’s very much a goofy ass 1990s erotic thriller that involves witchcraft and magic. Once you realize that and get over the fact you aren’t getting a wild ass horror movie it’s a pretty entertaining goofy ass 1990s erotic thriller. It involves a witch who hurts the husband of another witch before she ends up dying and what do you know the other witch pretty much wants revenge on the husband. Even though he doesn’t even believe in witch craft. The husband Larry gets back with another love interest and thats when Linda Blair takes over her mind with magical powers. It’s up to the son of the guy from Green Acres to kill Linda Blair and save his friends. It’s a pretty wild ride with some uh let’s say nicely erotic scenes and leave the perverseness to a minimum. This is a family blog where even Grandma can come to read nice clean reviews full of cursing!

A interesting group of movies. The only one I’d completely say to avoid is Battle Royale II. I didn’t really care much for Mission Impossible 6 but if you liked the other ones you should still check it out Ya know. It’s okay to disagree about movies unless it’s for dumb political reasons like its woke or some shit.
