Y2K (2024) On the last night of 1999, two high school juniors attend a New Year's Eve party, only to find themselves fighting for their lives when Y2K becomes a reality. This was a flick I was looking forward to for the longest time, then I saw it had some horrendous reviews. So then I became less excited but I still figured hey I'm gonna give it a go anyway. I am so so so glad that I decided to go see this one in cinemas yesterday evening as this movie was fantastic from start to finish in my eyes. I was blown away. I was the only one in this screening so that alone was a blast and a half. The movie itself has so many awesome references that I though roughly enjoyed. Seeing and hearing all the things I had grown up with was such nostalgia fuel and it was well,well worth it. As for the script, the story and the execution. Well, I will put it this way. It is a turn your brain off kind of film but with all the references, jokes, things coming to life and trying to take over. It was pretty damn excellent in My book. I personally believe that this film may be the film that really shocked me the most out of this year of movies. I loved everything the cast did. The characters were actually a ton of fun and fit their roles to a T. It is definitely a film that broke out for me. It is a great shut your brain off type film. The special addition to someone I listened to in younger years was a great idea as well. I loved the story as it all blended together perfectly for a horror comedy. It's not often you see a flick like this anymore. This is one I see having so much rewatch value in the future and I can't wait to view it again. I was purely stunned. That being said, Y2K gets a 5/5 stars anytime.

Madame Web (2024) Cassandra Webb is a New York City paramedic who starts to show signs of clairvoyance. Forced to confront revelations about her past, she must protect three young women from a mysterious adversary who wants them dead. First time viewing of Madame Webb was a such a fun watch. I loved every single one of the Spider-verse films and this one to me was no different. I know I’m very generous quite a bit as well as love the most hated of films and this one also is up there. This was seriously a ton of fun and I really loved the story quite a bit! The cast did great and I absolutely loved Dakota Johnson as Cassandra Webb. She did magnificent. The action was pretty sick. The suits were great. All in all this is a film that I see myself viewing again. Morbius was quite hated hard as well and I loved that one so much it also has had many viewings from myself in the past. Really love these films that Sony keeps pumping out. This one certainly didn’t disappoint! I’m going to give Madame Web a 5/5 Stars! Absolutely wicked film!

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) With Spider-Man's identity now revealed, our friendly neighborhood web-slinger is unmasked and no longer able to separate his normal life as Peter Parker from the high stakes of being a superhero. When Peter asks for help from Doctor Strange, the stakes become even more dangerous, forcing him to discover what it truly means to be Spider-Man. This is easily my all time favorite superhero film. Nothing can ever change my mind from that. Today marks two years since this terrific Superhero film debuted in theaters and I can remember holding off from social media when it first released and can remember how hyped I was for this film and preordered it digitally and when it released I hopped into it instantly and all that hype I had was so worth it. I cried, I cheered. I felt so so many emotions in this film. Great cast. Phenomenal story, absolutely perfect in every way. It will always be my favorite superhero film and growing up with Tobey Macguire as my Spider-Man I can very much confirmed I bawled like a baby within seconds of seeing him and Willem Dafoe as my all time favorite villain in all of the Comic book world once again was magnificent. This marks my 36th time seeing this movie and it’s just as good this time as it was the very first time! The nostalgia factor that this movie gives during so many scenes is so special to me and I will always hold this movie dear to my heart. So I’m very glad that today was the Anniversary of this film so that I could give it yet another rewatch. As for Tom Holland here, he has come and progressed such a long way from the Captain America film up to Avengers to his first two Spidey Films to this one. His acting was so incredible and spectacular here and shows so many emotions that it’s wonderful. He did seriously so great. Heck, everyone here in this film had such a believable acting job and it was all so dang mesmerizing. As well as the fight scenes here were so wicked! Truly a beautiful superhero film that I cannot ever get enough of. Very remarkable. So I will cut this review here with giving Spider-Man No Way Home an Easy 5/5 stars. This is one film I will always be so passionate about. A magnificent superhero film!

American Pie (Unrated) (1999) A riotous and raunchy exploration of the most eagerly anticipated -- and most humiliating -- rite of adulthood, known as losing one's virginity. In this hilarious lesson in life, love and libido, a group of friends, fed up with their well-deserved reputations as sexual no-hitters, decide to take action. I have saw the regular version of AP but I have never saw the Unrated version. I absolutely love raunchy comedies so much as they always seem to make me laugh so hard and the American Pie franchise absolutely knows how to bring the laughs. This first movie is beyond iconic for many things and it’s a film that could cheer anyone up and sure they may seem stupid, because well they are but those are the exact types of comedies I love. Turn your brain off and just enjoy. Such a fun story with all out good comedy. Always a fun time so I will give American Pie a 5/5 stars. A very fun Raunchy comedy!

The Virgin Suicides (1999) In an ordinary suburban house, on a lovely tree-lined street, in the middle of 1970s America, lived the five beautiful, dreamy Lisbon sisters, whose doomed fates indelibly marked the neighborhood boys who to this day continue to obsess over them. A story of love and repression, fantasy and terror, sex and death, memory and longing. It is at its core a mystery story: a heart-rending investigation into the impenetrable, life-altering secrets of American adolescence. Oh, how I love this film. So very much. I have watched this film countless times and can’t get enough. Sofia Coppola really did this Book to Film such great justice. Incredible acting with such a mysterious and heartbreaking story following these girls’ tragic lives. Something that remains to be unseen is why they did it and this is what makes this film so good. This “perfect” family isn’t so perfect after all. I can never get enough of this fantastic movie and as depressing as it is, It remains to be my 2nd favorite film of all time. I love the mystery aspect and the drama. The drama of this film is such an incredible thing and the soundtrack of the 70s and the style were all so perfect. Certainly a film I must recommend to everyone who loves drama films or even mysteries because this for sure matches those categories. It’s a very remarkable Rom-dram mystery flick. One I see myself watching even more times than what I had. I am forever going to give The Virgin Suicides a 5.5/5 stars. It is always a masterpiece with each watch and I admire it even more with each viewing.

The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019) After running away from a residential nursing home to pursue his dream of becoming a pro wrestler, a man who has Down syndrome befriends an outlaw who becomes his coach and ally. This inspirational film was a first time watch. I’m just getting back into the movie watching kick after a beyond depressing month and that is okay. This was truly a terrific and special little film that as a huge wrestling fan and someone with a disability, it really does make me feel a lot. It had a couple wrestlers in it which got a pop out of me. A really monumental film of anyone who wants to follow their dreams. Can for certain say I enjoyed this quite a bit. My reviews are going to take some time getting back to normal but they’ll get there with that I’m going to end this one and rate The peanut Butter Falcon a 4.5/5. Very much enjoyed this film!

Sound Of Freedom (2023) After rescuing a boy from ruthless child traffickers, a federal agent learns the boy's sister is still captive and decides to embark on a dangerous mission to save her. With time running out, he quits his job and journeys deep into the Colombian jungle, putting his life on the line to free her from a fate worse than death. Films with this sort of power and this kind of story is never at all easy to view. As they always pack a very strong punch and this one is certainly no different and not at all for the faint of heart. But the things gone through in this film to do everything this guy had done and the truth of the story is absolutely haunting as things of this sort happens everyday in this world and not a soul blinks and eye and it’s purely sickening. This film did a terrific time at showing how disgusting our world truly is and with that being said the performances in this film were outstanding so I’m going to have to give this movie a 4.5/5. It was certainly hard to watch and extremely heartbreaking but it exposed what our world is so it definitely deserves a 4.5. Very powerful film.

Van Wilder (2002) He's the biggest man on campus. He's the boss with the sauce. He's the guy all the girls want and all the guys want to be. 'Cause in the collegiate jungle, there can be only one king ... and at Coolidge College it's Van Wilder. In the grand tradition of comedy classics like "National Lampoon's Animal House" and "National Lampoon's Vacation," "National Lampoon's Van Wilder" will charm you, move you and gross you out. Ah man, this first time watch was a damn treat. It's an early 2000s raunchy comedy and those are my types of films. Good music, fun acting, extremely fun story with so many and I mean so many laughs. I will definitely add this to my favorites of Raunchy comedy flicks and one that I will rewatch later on down the line. Ryan Reynolds was great in this early main acting role. This movie all in all was terrific and I can for sure say I love it so much! Van Wilder deserves a 4.5/5. What a great film this was!

Blockers (2018) Julie, Kayla and Sam are three high school seniors who make a pact to lose their virginity on prom night. Lisa, Mitchell and Hunter are three overprotective parents who flip out when they find out about their daughters' plans. They soon join forces for a wild and chaotic quest to stop the girls from sealing the deal -- no matter what the cost. As many people who know me knows I absolutely love John Cena. Not only as an actor but also a wrestler. In fact he was the one that got me into wrestling at age 7. But when this film was first announced and I saw the trailer I had to see it well I rented it when it released on media and fell in love with it so I had to buy me a copy and have at least watched this film well over so many times. Probably more times than I should have but it has made me laugh so hard. I have caught onto so many lines and John Cena and Ike and Leslie Mann were all absolutely excellent as their roles of the parents and you just can't get enough of them. In this heartfelt raunchy comedy you have so many emotions packed into one film and so terrific to watch everytime you give it a watch. One I can never get enough of and this rewatch is certainly no different. Seriously so many laughs and iconic scenes. A truly magnificent raunch fest with my favorite actor of all time. I'm definitely giving Blockers a 5/5! Love this one so much!

Mr. Popper's Penguins (2011) Mr. Popper (Jim Carrey) is a successful real estate developer in Manhattan. He lives in a posh apartment on Park Avenue, and is on the fast track to a partnership in a prestigious company. However, his life changes radically when he receives a final gift from his late father -- a live penguin, which is soon joined by five more penguins. The birds' antics soon win over Mr. Popper, and as he bonds with the penguins, his chilly relationship with his ex-wife (Carla Gugino) and kids begins to thaw. I first saw this film at the age of 9 when it first released and absolutely loved it. It's Jim Carrey with Penguins. Sure it's not the typical Jim Carrey film but I had so much fun with it growing up so with this rewatch I hoped it still had that feel in which it did. This movie is so delightful and so heartwarming. Sure the Penguins are CGI but that didn't bother me as they were so cute and their little actions they did was so fun. I had once again a great time with this movie and will probably always have a soft spot for it. That being said, Mr. Poppers Penguins gets a 4/5 stars
