Holmes & Watson (2018)
As always, don't listen to the negative reviews
This is your typical Will Ferrell romp. You don't go in expecting an award-winning feel-good film of the year. Some of the reviews labeling this as the "worst film ever" or "absolute trash" clearly haven't sat through anything The Rock has put out this year. Or maybe the Rock is more their bag? Who knows. This doesn't deserve any of the bashing. I miss the days of actual decent film critiques, not whiny, arrogant reviews from 57 year old guys who just figured out how social media commenting works. This movie is actually funny, like a 6/10 Will Ferrell-kinda-funny. Some big, silly awkward laughs. Enjoy the movie for what it is. Not awful. Calm yourselves, haters. I hope someone hugs you.
Clerks II (2006)
Relentless
What I like about Kevin Smith is that he doesn't shy away from anything risqué. Bestiality, racial epithets, dick and fart jokes....the list goes on. What I can't believe is that he still keeps coming back to the same old territory. I saw this in the theatre and I did laugh out loud (yes I LOL'ed) but I left wondering what Kevin will do next. I saw the original Clerks back in '94 when all the rage was beating down my door. No intentional rhyme there. I loved it, just like I loved Mallrats and Chasing Amy to follow. But then came Dogma. Then Jay & SIlent Bob Strike Back....then that other one with Affleck & Tyler that I still can't bring myself to view. It was nice to see Dante and Randal trot about in their usual jerky way for my enjoyment. However, I did wonder if the counter-jockeys will come back when they're pushing 60 for Clerks 3 : The Golden Years. I figure it will take place in a convalescent home with a hot nurse teasing their aged tender vittles while they bicker about their failed lives. I just hope that Mr. Smith can come back with something besides Jay & Silent Boob. I was tired of it a few movies back. Yet i still find myself checking these movies out. I guess I still am a Kevin Smith fan. I also like cookies....especially ones with chocolate....a little bit of macadamia doesn't hurt either.
