## Plot

When a crime novelist dies just after his 85th birthday, an inquisitive detective arrives at his estate to investigate. He soon sifts through a web of red herrings and self-serving lies to uncover the truth behind the writer's untimely demise.

## Why It Rocks

1. It subverts clichés in the mystery genre to deliver an original whodunit storyline with a perfectly convoluted narrative inspired by Agatha Christie novels.
2. It perfectly blends comedy and suspense together, causing it to be delightfully entertaining as it is.
3. The performances of the ensemble are well-done, especially from actors like Daniel Craig, Christopher Plummer, Toni Collette, Chris Evans, and Ana De Armas.
	* Daniel Craig manages to pull off a thick Southern accent.
4. Rian Johnson perfectly directs the movie, even after *Star Wars: The Last JediAMW*.
5. The set designs are rather beautiful, especially considering the story mostly takes place in a crime novelist's house.
6. Flattering cinematography, that resembles a 1960 polaroid snapshot, causing everything to look gorgeous.
7. The dialogue is well-written and very funny. First, they're polite, then, they're testy, then tarty, and then energetic. It's not fast talk but mood swingy.
8. All of the plot twists are well pulled off for a thriller.
9. It's soundtrack by Nathan Johnson is great.

## The Only Bad Quality

1. Marta “vomiting when lying” could gross some viewers out.

Lassie Come Home

***Lassie Come Home*** is a 1943 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Technicolor feature film starring Roddy McDowall and canine actor Pal, in a story about the profound bond between Yorkshire boy Joe Carraclough and his rough collie, Lassie. The film was directed by Fred M. Wilcox from a screenplay by Hugo Butler based upon the 1940 novel *Lassie Come-Home* by Eric Knight. The film was the first in a series of seven MGM films starring "Lassie."

## Why It Rocks

1. Like the short story and novel the film's based on, the film draws heavily on Eric Knight's childhood, not only in its portrayal of the Yorkshire landscape, but in terms of the guarded interaction between the upper and lower classes.
2. The overall story is told with enough poignance and simple beauty and is overall a heartwarming tale between a dog undying loyalty to his owner.
3. Incredible acting from the majority of the cast, including Roddy McDowall and Donald Crisp, which have starred alongside each other in a previous film. Then the majority of the supporting cast is taken up by long-time professionals who really give off some memorable performances, including Dame May Whitty, Edmund Gwenn, Nigel Bruce, and especially Pal the dog who "plays" the iconic Lassie.
	* The one major newcomer was Elizabeth Taylor as the Duke's granddaughter.
4. Gorgeous and unforgettable soundtrack with amazing orchestration.
5. As the film covers a dog's 400-mile journey from Northern Scotland to Greenall Bridge in Yorkshire, its plot is closely tied to a landscape of highlands, lochs and moors. And although the scenes were shot in California rather than Great Britain like in the novel, the locations shot approximated the novel's settings enough and the scenery looked absolutely beautiful. The first-rate production values and color photography are on full display here.
6. Even though it's a children's story, the work in question (both the novel and the film) isn't afraid to get into some dark and/or serious themes as it sends a shocking amount of time on unemployment, class friction, brutality and death.

## The Only Bad Quality

1. The film stints on a few of the novel's scenes (probably for budget-related reasons) and includes moments that may be confusing for people who didn't read the book, such as armed shepherds who consider shooting the dog as it crosses a field. Even a lot of the class-conscious dialogue is taken straight from the book.
I Saw the Devil

Kubo and the Two Strings

***Kubo and the Two Strings*** is a 2016 American stop-motion animated action fantasy film produced by Laika. It is directed by Travis Knight (in his feature directorial debut) with a screenplay by Marc Haimes and Chris Butler from a story by Shannon Tindle and Marc Haimes, and it stars the voice roles of Charlize Theron, Art Parkinson, Ralph Fiennes, George Takei, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Brenda Vaccaro, Rooney Mara, and Matthew McConaughey. Set in feudal Japan, the film revolves around Kubo, a young boy who wields a magical *shamisen* (a Japanese stringed instrument) and whose left eye was stolen during infancy. Accompanied by an anthropomorphic snow monkey and stag beetle, he must embark on a quest to defeat his mother's evil twin Sisters and his power-hungry grandfather, the Moon King, who is responsible for stealing his left eye.

Laika's production designer Shannon Tindle pitched the fantasy story stop-motion animated film based on samurais to Knight. By December 2014, Laika announced that *Kubo and the Two Strings* would be released in August 2016, with Knight to direct and produce the project, as well as the voice casting announcement. He was enthusiastic about the project, owing partly to his affinity towards both the "epic fantasy" genre as well as Japanese culture in general, despite the studio never having ventured into the genre before. The stop-motion animation were inspired by Japanese media such as ink wash painting and origami among others. Assistance came from 3D printing firm Stratasys who allowed Laika to use their newest technologies in exchange for feedback on them. According to Knight, he mentioned that the story for the film was partly inspired by works of Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki. Dario Marianelli, who composed the music for Laika's one prior film, returned to compose the film's musical score for its second.

*Kubo and the Two Strings* premiered at Melbourne International Film Festival on August 13, 2016 and was released by Focus Features in the United States on August 19. The film received critical acclaim for its craftsmanship, musical score, and story, but received criticism for its perceived whitewashing casting choice, and it performed poorly at the box office, grossing $77 million worldwide against a $60 million budget. The film won the BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film, and was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature and Best Visual Effects, becoming the second stop-motion animated film ever to be nominated in the latter category following 1993's *The Nightmare Before Christmas*, and the first Laika film to be nominated for both.
Happy Death Day 2U

## Summary

Tree Gelbman discovers that dying over and over was surprisingly easier than the dangers that lie ahead once she’s transported into a dimension where Lori is innocent, her mother is alive and there is a new Babyface Killer on the loose.

## Why It Rocks

1. It tends to be a wonderful follow-up sequel from it’s predecessor.
2. The acting is still amazing, especially from Jessica Rothe who reprises her role as Tree.
3. The film has much more comedy in this film then in the first one.
4. We finally get an explanation to why Tree keeps dying and ending up having to relive the same day.
5. The movie adds in a few decent sci-fi vibes to it.
6. Many of the character get much more screen time then they did in the first, like Tree’s sorority sister, Danielle, and Carter’s roommate, Ryan.
7. The idea of **SISSY** (Ryan’s invention that causes time loops) is very original.
8. Many unforgettable and hilarious moments, like how Tree skydives in a bikini and flips off the audience or when SISSY explodes a large shockwave in slow motion while “The Flower Duet” plays in the background.
9. The alternate universe Tree is trapped in has many well-handled twists and turns, such as how Professor Gregory and his wife are the killers this time (in the other dimension), not Lori.
10. The chemistry between Tree and her mom is shown to be very heartwarming.

## The Only Bad Quality

1. While a pretty great follow-up from the first movie, the film feels WAY too much like a sci-fi comedy instead of a horror-comedy.

EuroTrip

## Good Qualities

1. Matt Damon’s cameo as a lead singer for a rock band is considered by many as one of his best minor roles.
2. The song “Scotty Doesn’t Know” is catchy, raunchy, hardcore and well-written. In fact, those who haven’t seen the film know the song more often.
3. Jeff Schaffer, Alec Berg and David Mandel, who wrote all the raunchy jokes for *The Cat in the Hat* have embraced the mature content on their screenplay with no restrictions from the Seuss Estate. It helps that they all wrote episodes of *Seinfeld*.
4. After the men drink absinthe, a comedic green fairy played by Steve Hytner of *Seinfeld* fame appears.
5. Memorable quotes including “This isn’t where I parked my car”, “You made out with your sister, man” and “Mi scusi”.
6. ”Scotty Doesn’t Know” had an epic remix heard in the club scene and was remade by the band in 2006. It was also used as a prank on Scott Morrison’s website.
7. Michelle Trachtenberg embraces her nude scene with grace.
8. An incest kiss after drinking absinthe is tasteful in this film.
9. Lucy Lawless as Madame Vandersexxx and Vinnie Jones as Mad Maynard are really fun to watch.
10. It has a good balance between humor and heartwarming moments without pandering to both.
11. It is considered one of the best teen sex comedies after the release of American Pie.
12. The opening animated intro is pretty good.

## Bad Qualities

1. Matt Damon doesn’t sing “Scotty Doesn’t Know”. He was dubbed over by the actual singer.
2. There is a deleted scene where Cooper ends up at Anne Frank’s house. Thankfully, it wasn’t filmed.
3. It bombed hard at the box office.
4. There a few ableist slurs used.
5. The title was renamed from The Ugly Americans to EuroTrip to cash in to the success of Road Trip.
6. There is loads of nudity and gross out scenes compared to Road Trip. One example is the beach with naked men.
7. A kid is seen acting like Hitler

9. The scene where the entire school sings “Lean on Me” (by the late Bill Withers) is one of the best and most powerful parts of the film.
10. A spectacular ending, Principal Clark gets out of jail, East Side High passes the exam and the woman that tried to take down Mr. Clark fails miserably.

## The Only Bad Quality

1. Mr. Clark can get awfully strict and bad-tempered in many moments of the film.

1. Although it's not as great as the first two films, it's still a good follow-up to them.
2. It still contains elements, humor, and action as always.
3. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover still give their best performances.
4. Rene Russo gives a great performance as Lorna Cole, a female equivalent to Riggs who is just as crazy and tough as him and becomes his girlfriend in the end.

6. It has a lot of humor, compared to the prequel, such as Murtaugh failing to do a back spin, the duo dealing with an obnoxious jaywalker, and Riggs beating up the director in "The Three Stooges" style.
7. Leo returns still retaining his funny and comical personality.
	* His quotes: "They fuck you at the hospital!", "Hey, guys, guys! You think I could get a gun this time?", "I'm dying Roge! I'm so cold!".
8. Stuart Wilson plays a menacing villain named Jack Travis who was once a LAPD officer, but got fired for his reckless actions and serves as a dark parallel to Riggs.

Ladybug Ladybug

**Ladybug Ladybug** is a 1963, American, docudrama, thriller film. It was produced by Frank Perry Films Inc. (formerly known as Francis Productions Inc.). Frank Perry was the director.

## Plot

When alarms go off at school about an impending nuclear attack, all the kids are sent home early. One group of kids gathers in a fallout shelter while contemplating, and arguing about what should be done in order to get through it, and survive.

## Why It Rocks

1. The grayscale cinematography is most befitting as it gives a sense of its bleak tone.
2. The writing of the story is well-done in its complexity as it shows the various moments of the characters. But they still share the common, dire situation that they could all possibly, and potentially face.
3. The characters are also well-written in their diversity of their views of how to handle the predicament.
4. There are moments when there is music and when there is silence. But when there is music played, it's well-composed and the placing of the pieces is well-timed.
5. The cast of this gave some of the finest, most convincing acting and performances ever put to screen.
6. Although it's mainly dramatic, there are some moments of lightheartedness, particularly with the two, younger kids in the group who take refuge in the shelter.
7. The dialogue is well-inscribed and delivered.
8. It gives a fine example of something that involves social-awareness.
9. **Spoiler alert:** When nuclear weapons begin to get dropped as one of the boys is outside the shelter, it's clear the ending isn't ambiguous, but proven to be dark and gives a sense of approaching doom.
10. It drives home about the dangers of war, why it's senseless in trying to get anything accomplished, and settled, and what it does to the innocent.
11. With the release of another movie with a nuclear weapons theme, Oppenheimer, and nuclear weapons still having yet to be banned, this film is just as relevant today as it was back in the 1960s.

## The Only Bad Quality

1. The nature of this may be too depressing for some viewers.

5. The director did a great great job in capturing the feelings of people facing uncertainty, horror, ridicules, anger, death, and waning faith.
6. The line "*I think if people see this footage, they'll say Oh, my God, that's horrible. And then they'll go on eating their dinners*."
7. The film accurately captures the western world and how it could not intervene after seeing scenes of women and children being hacked by machete-wielding Hutu militia.
8. Working from a smart script by Keir Pearson and Terry George, the film contains gut-wrenching and emotionally trying moments not seen on the big screen since *Schindler's List*.
9. Director Terry George handles everything in muted fashion, we never see the horrors firsthand. There's brief news footage of people being killed and one particularly searing scene when Paul and his bellhop Gregoire (Tony Kgoroge) find themselves on a bumpy road. The moment's made more horrifying because George unveils it quite matter-of-factly.
10. Making a PG-13 film about genocide requires numerous compromises. Putting most, if not all, of the violence off-camera is one such bargain George made.
11. Don Cheadle carries the entire film without a false note in his performance. He gets great support from Sophie Okonedo as Paul's Tutsi wife, Tatiana, and Nick Nolte doing his best work in years as a Canadian United Nations officer, Colonel Oliver.
Edge of Tomorrow

***Edge of Tomorrow*** (marketed as ***Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow*** on home media, or simply ***Live Die Repeat***) is a 2014 American science fiction action film starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. Doug Liman directed the film based on a screenplay adapted from the 2004 Japanese light novel All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka.

## Plot

When Earth falls under attack from invincible aliens, no military unit in the world is able to beat them. Maj. William Cage (Tom Cruise), an officer who has never seen combat, is assigned to a suicide mission. Killed within moments, Cage finds himself thrown into a time loop, in which he relives the same brutal fight -- and his death -- over and over again. However, Cage's fighting skills improve with each encore, bringing him and a comrade (Emily Blunt) ever closer to defeating the aliens.

## Why It Rocks

1. This film stays true faithful to the original novel it is based on.
2. While the film has a terrible concept and starting to seem like the *Groundhog Day* setup works pretty consistently outside of Bill Murray’s movie, it was actually well-executed.
3. The film has astounding acting, especially from Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt.
4. It has a very fantastic soundtrack by Christophe Beck.
5. The designs of the Mimics are very impressive and creepy-looking.
6. The film has some pretty awesome action sequences, for example, the battle sequences on the beach in France and the battle at the Louvre.
7. This film was semi inspired by the *Predator* or *Aliens* films.
8. This film has astounding direction from Doug Liman, the director of the first Bourne film, "The Bourne Identity", the comedy-drama, "Swingers" and the cult classic, "Go".
9. The film's time-loop premise is very original and faithful to the original book.
10. Some of the film's humor is quite decent.
11. Passive moments.
12. "**Come find me when you wake up!**"

## Reception

*Edge of Tomorrow* received largely positive reviews from critics and audiences, who praised the humor, plot, Christophe Beck's score, Liman's direction, the aliens' design, Cruise and Blunt's performances, and the time-loop premise's ability to remain fresh, though the ending was criticized. Based on 317 reviews, review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes reports that 91% of critics gave the film a positive review, with a rating average of 7.49/10. The website's critical consensus reads: "Gripping, well-acted, funny, and clever, *Edge of Tomorrow* offers entertaining proof that Tom Cruise is still more than capable of shouldering the weight of a blockbuster action thriller.". On another aggregator, Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 71 out of 100, based on reviews from 43 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

Intergalactic Thanksgiving or Please Don't Eat the Planet

**Intergalactic Thanksgiving or Please Don't Eat the Planet**  is a 1979, Canadian, sci-fi, comedy, holiday, family, children's short, television animated film. It was produced by Nelvana in association with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) and originally aired on the channel also called CBC. It was directed by Clive A. Smith.

## Plot

The Spademinder family travel in outer space to move to and settle on another planet as their new home where they continue their daily tasks of agricultural work. There, they meet a race of green aliens who spend a lot of time clowning around and pulling pranks. Their ruler, named King Goochi, is considered to be the funniest of them all. But when the Spademinders get more laughs from his subjects more than him, he has to come up with a plan to reclaim his title. His son, Prince Notfunnyenuf meets Pa and Ma Spademinder's daughter, Victoria, and they become a thing. But when Victoria and Prince Notfunnyenuf get into a perilous situation, King Goochi and the other Spademinders must put their conflict aside and everybody must come together, and cooperate, in order to save them.

## Why You'll Give Thanks For The Pranks

1. The art is easy enough on the eyes and the animation is of the utmost quality of a work by a Canadian studio.
2. Good writing of an original story that's easy to follow and not too hard to understand. Very cleverly written.
3. All the character designs are pleasant enough.
4. The characters are great, entertaining, likable, and memorable. Like King Goochi realizing that there's a time and a place to be jokey when his son and Victoria go missing.
5. The soundtrack from the music to the sound effects and sound design is created, performed, and placed at the right times properly.
6. Well-performed and delivered voice acting by the cast that included the late Sid Caesar and Catherine O'Hara in one of her earlier roles.
7. A lot of good jokes and gags, like the scene in which King Goochi and another alien use a third one as a telephone.
8. Some great moments too, like when King Goochi first talks to the Magic Mirror. At first, it seems to be the one from Disney's original, animated version, but then there's the surprise of it being revealed as a completely different one that's more clownish.
9. The dialogue is just as well-written as the story.
10. It sets itself apart from other Thanksgiving films and specials, and has plenty of originality going for it.
11. It has the message that there's much more to life than joking around and pulling pranks.
12. Although bizarre, it's also fun and enjoyable with its wacky sense of humor.
13. As one of the holiday-themed shorts by Nelvana, it got the studio off to a great start.

7. Nice plot.
8. Good pacing.

## Bad Qualities

1. Despite how good this movie is, it still leaves you wanting a little bit more. It seems like they spent a lot of time setting up the story, as interesting as it was, reinventing Mechagodzilla for the third time, and concentrating on the human's efforts to get Mechagodzilla working.
2. Lots of people were disappointed that this movie, once again, is **another reboot**, ignoring every *Godzilla* movie that came before it besides the first.

## Reception

5. The animation is gourgeous and stunning. This is because it was done by a seperate studio from the anime series.
6. The main antagonist is awesome. Instead of him wanting to take over the world, he wants to use the Box of Paradise so that he can make his village great. Later, after realizing what he did to his son, he wishes for him back however his son now turns evil. He teams up with Naruto to stop him.
7. Extremely heartbreaking ending.
8. Tons of awesome moments. One of the best scenes is where all of Naruto's friends arrive to help Naruto battle Satori.
9. Excellent voice acting in both English and Japanese.
10. The post-credits scene was nice.

## Bad Qualities

1. The movie can get extremely dark for a Naruto movie. Some dark moments include Satori's design, Satori killing Naruto, Muku's backstory and the overall tone.
2. Tsunade was very unlikable at the beginning. She arrested Naruto without any evidence that Naruto attacked the Raikage. Naruto was even telling the truth to her but she didn't believe him.
3. The scene where Naruto calls Ryuzetsu trans can be offensive to some people
4. There is one disturbing scene where the prison guards take off all of Naruto's clothes.
5. The movie doesn't know where it takes place in the main timeline.

2. Amazing acting from Roman Griffin Davis, Taika Watiti, and Scarlett Johanson, especially the latter two.
3. The scene where Jojo finds out that Rosie got killed is heartbreaking.
4. Heartwarming ending, with the German cover of "Heroes" by David Bowie being a great addition.
5. When Adolf becomes more like his real-life counterpart, he becomes the scariest character Taika ever created.
6. Expert direction by Taika Watiti, whose trademark humor is carried over from films of his like *The Hunt for the Wilderpeople*, *What We Do in the Shadows*, and *Thor: Ragnarok*.

8. Iconic quotes like **fuck off Hitler!**
9. Rebel Wilson and Sam Rockwell are hilarious supporting actors.

Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 58 out of 100, based on 57 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale, while those at PostTrak gave it an overall positive score of 96%, with 87% saying they would definitely recommend it.

## Trivia

* The real reason Taika Watiti played Hitler is because he couldn't think of a better "fuck you" to him.
