Hello there! Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening whenever you're reading this! This week had only one film reviewed on the podcast, and a couple of others throughout the week. This week really ran rampant with the types of films I watched, as well as scores. In addition, I posted two new release reviews earlier that you can check out for Nightmare Alley and Jackass Forever! As always, let's start with the film I reviewed on the podcast this week.
Valentine's Day (2010) REVIEWED ON PODCAST
SCORE: 2/100
Directed By: Garry Marshall
Starring: Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Biel, Taylor Swift
Synopsis: Intertwining couples and singles in Los Angeles break-up and make-up based on the pressures and expectations of Valentine's Day.
Quick Review: Valentine's Day makes me want to die alone, as nothing in this movie is realistic, the situations are forced, and it's the only movie I've ever had to watch in chunks because I couldn't take it.
If you'd like to watch it, it's available on HBO Max.
Caddyshack (1980)
SCORE: 78/100
Directed By: Harold Ramis
Starring: Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Murray
Synopsis: An exclusive golf course has to deal with a brash new member and a destructive dancing gopher.
Quick Review: While the main character Danny is completely uninteresting, this movie is carried by its funniest moments with Dangerfield, Murray, and Chase leading the way.
If you'd like to watch it, it's available on Netflix.
America: The Motion Picture (2021)
SCORE: 48/100
Directed By: Matt Thompson
Starring: Channing Tatum, Olivia Munn, Bobby Moynihan
Synopsis: A chainsaw-wielding George Washington teams with beer-loving bro Sam Adams to take down the Brits in a tongue-in-cheek riff on the American Revolution.
Quick Review: It has some funny and completely insane moments, but it never really justifies why it needed to be made other than some riffing on American history.
If you'd like to watch it, it's available on Netflix.
Tombstone (1993)
SCORE: 70/100
Directed By: George P. Cosmatos
Starring: Kurt Russell, Sam Elliot, Val Kilmer
Synopsis: A successful lawman's plans to retire anonymously in Tombstone, Arizona are disrupted by the kind of outlaws he was famous for eliminating.
Quick Review: Tombstone begins incredibly, with its well-written and acted characters being the highlight of the film, before it inevitably fizzles out in the third act of this western drama.
If you'd like to watch it, it's available on Hulu.
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994)
SCORE: 40/100
Directed By: Tom Shadyac
Starring: Jim Carrey, Courtney Cox, Sean Young
Synopsis: A goofy detective specializing in animals goes in search of the missing mascot of the Miami Dolphins.
Quick Review: While Jim Carrey is as iconic as ever, the film never really goes anywhere, and its final reveal doesn't age well at all.
If you'd like to watch it, it's available on Prime Video.
Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (1995)
SCORE: 67/100
Directed By: Steve Oedekerk
Starring: Jim Carrey, Ian McNiece, Simon Callow
Synopsis: Ace Ventura, Pet Detective, returns from a spiritual quest to investigate the disappearance of a rare white bat, the sacred animal of a tribe in Africa.
Quick Review: In a surprising twist, the sequel is far superior here, with Carrey at the top of his game and a film that's outright hilarious at all times, while not exactly game-changing.
If you'd like to watch it, it's available on Prime Video.
