The Hidden 612f4y 1987 - ★★★★ (contains spoilers)

Wed, 28 May 2025 13:27:56 +1200

This review may contain spoilers.

If I had a nickel for every time Kyle MacLachlan played a quirky FBI agent who s forces with the local law enforcement (specifically a cop with curly brown hair) to track down a murderer—who turns out to be a person possessed by a metaphor for men who only wants and doesn’t need—I’d have two nickels…

Thoroughly enjoyed this. It’s The Thing meets The Terminator meets Men in Black meets Twin Peaks, except it came out before half of those things even existed. Seriously, the second incarnation of the alien is literally Edgar from the first Men in Black and then becomes Serleena from MIB2 (who, coincidentally, is played by the same actress who plays Donna also from Twin Peaks). Odd. Speaking of Twin Peaks, the actor who plays Hank is also in this, in a very GTA-feeling chase sequence. Very cool! 👍

Also I can see why Kyle MacLachlan was afraid of being typecast and wanted a smaller part in Fire Walk with Me. But he does plays detectives exceptionally well. Also, he’s the perfect choice to play an alien—very alien-looking guy.

Overall, campy 80s fun, very nice! Also the dog actor in this is really great. Very sinister.

Great movie. I truly hope this movie becomes accurate in the sense that actual art and creativity and human emotion can become at the very least more valued. Theodore keeps his job. The AI in this movie never overtakes his letter-writing job, leaving him unemployed.

Maybe that’s part of the point, that people, once we get so much AI-generated schlock, are finally willing to pay for and value actual human-generated poetry and art. People often defend AI by comparing its regurgitating to the human experience and all the subconscious influence we experience from it. From both the art we consume and general life.

But the difference is, that that, in a way, is what makes us human. Each and every single one of us is, of course, unique. My experience of watching this movie was different than yours. It’s different than the next time I watch it. It will affect me differently. It will affect you differently. These experiences in some way, either subconsciously or consciously affect me. And affect what I create. The same goes for everything in life.

An AI only mimics. And it mimics shit. It’s eating shit and then shitting that out and eating it again. And it’s also inbreeding. All the while studying you and everyone else to get more profit by making you feel special and loved with no thoughts in your head other than what it tells you. Being backed by rich people who might as we be AI, but are worse, insecure, narcissistic, rich, greedy, psychopaths.

Maybe, just maybe once the studios and businesses and corporations start using this and it causes no effects on anyone and they shit out 1000 movies and shows and books and songs a year, we will finally appreciate ourselves. I don’t know, just a nice little takeaway I had from this. Going post-verbal and post-matter now, good night.

For the most part, a fairly standard 2000s manic pixie Dreamgirl type romcom. However, Cillian Murphy and Luci Lou are pretty cool. So that gives it a few extra points. Also, I also like movies! So that was a nice little bonus. And there was a couple of quite pleasant looking shots throughout. Overall, a fairly pleasant movie. Very nice. 😊👍👍👍👍✅✅✅✅✅

A Minecraft Movie 6b481a 2025 - ★★

Mon, 7 Apr 2025 08:24:46 +1200

Guys… so I have sort of a dark and somewhat twisted theory about this movie… What if…
This was actually a dream that Steve is experiencing while in a coma that he fell into when he was a child… Idk… but that would explain all the crazy and fantastical stuff that happens in this movie that doesn’t really make sense. And we do know that Steve had a somewhat dark childhood where he could have been able to fall into a coma. Perhaps while trying to get into the mines…

Only jesting, but if this movie came out in the 2010s, people on YouTube would be saying that shit.

Overall, this movie was just a bunch of bad writing, unfunny jokes, unlikeable characters, and wasted potential. Jared Hess is “washed,” as the kids say. A vast majority of the jokes were relying on his prior movies as “references.”

Tots! HAHAHAHA! Like Napoleon Dynamite!
Jack Black doing a funny jumping pose in a wrestling ring? AHHAHA! Like Nacho Libre!

Also, the main child character’s only characteristic is that he’s “creative,” but his big creative idea is a jet pack. That’s it.

Also, this movie stole a lot from Pixels (ex-pro 80s gamer whose life now sucks, and the weird-looking video game character entering the real world where he finds love with a real human, ha ha!) which is quite odd considering that movie’s ass.

It was pure pandering and slop. Maybe this movie was good at one point and there was just a bunch of studio interference, and that sucks, but that doesn’t excuse this piece of garbage that’s sadly probably gonna make a billion dollars.

Minecraft Story Mode and numerous fan films and videos prove that you could’ve made a good film out of a game with no real plot. But instead, we got the most basic, barebones, inoffensive nostalgia slop (not only for Jared Hess’s previous movies but for the current generation’s nostalgia for Minecraft the video game and all the actually good stuff that came from both of those things).

It also tried way too hard to be funny (all of Jack Black’s songs, Jennifer Coolidge’s whole character, all the dated 2010s “random” humor).

The only parts I somewhat enjoyed were when Private Idaho played and the hidden little knife joke at the end was okay.

Also, the theater I went to smelled like poop and I was surrounded by a bunch of teens and tweens yelling all the meme lines and just generally talking throughout. There was also an autistic child screaming, crying, and moaning throughout the film as well, which honestly just made me quite sad. But it made all the other children laugh, because loud noises are funny!

Dystopian.

I think that if you’re either bellow the age of 6 or have a room temp IQ you’ll enjoy this movie. I guess at least it brought people to theaters.

But on that note, I don’t dislike a bunch of people all going to the theatre and having fun. But a bunch of people all going to a theatre and causing a huge mess for underpaid and overworked staff to clean I do dislike. As well as ruining the movie and making both the children who came to see it as well as the parents who spent a bunch of money for them and their kid to come see it feel uncomfortable.

Also a lot of people’s defense for this movie was that it was just a dumb kids movie, comparable to the likes of Spy Kids or Shark Boy and Lava Girl. But at least those movies had soul in them and actually at least tried somewhat to be good. This movie didn’t even try at all, and that somehow is what made it succeed, because people are so irony poisoned. And even if that actually was the case, as I already stated, they’re ruining the movie for the people who would actually have enjoyed it.
