“My Bloody Valentine”

By Brett_G on

6.8

We’ve all had our rough Valentine’s Days. Stood up for a date, breakup, drinking alone. Most of us don’t take up a pickaxe and go on a murderous rampage in our hometown, though.

An occasionally laughable plot. Brutal kills. Much more effective than the power drill in the “Slumber Party Massacre.” Hearts in heart-shaped boxes. Terrified elders of the town trying to warn the teens of the impending danger. Somewhat like if the “Footloose” town’s no-dancing rule was enforced my an evil force with a deadly weapon.

Your typical, middle of the road silly slasher flick.

“Fired Up!”

9.1

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.” – John Lennon

Not loving this movie is prohibidado!

In the vein of “American Pie,” “Bring It On,” and “Van Wilder,” our two heroes Nick and Shaun are on a… conquest of sorts, and have the genius idea to skip football camp for cheer camp. Once there, they realize the world of competitive cheer is much more cutthroat than they initially thought. Shaun poops where he eats, and falls for the incomparable Carly. Nick must then help him defeat the knob rocket Doctor Dick to win her heart once and for all. Definitely not the love story you expect to be in this movie looking at it on the surface.

By far one of the strangest films on my all-time favorites list, but a true classic. Super quotable, and endless laughs. Warm up your spirit fingers, and ready your squad for the forbidden Fountain of Troy.

“Hot Tub Time Machine 2”

By Brett_G on

8.1

Proof that John Cusak is the key to the perfect movie.

This film lacks the magic of the first, but still manages to be hilarious throughout. They embrace the “over the top” formula for bringing back a part 2, and do it in style. “Terminator” car, “Back to the Future” alternate timeline mumbo jumbo… they pull out all the stops. It’s hard to capture lightning in a bottle twice, what can you say?

“Hubie Halloween”

By Brett_G on

7.8

Adam Sandler’s best Netflix movie? I think so!

Unoriginal? Yes. But so is almost every other Halloween movie nowadays. The typical Sandler cast? Yes. But every Adam Sandler movie has the same cast. This movie is just so surprisingly fun. It really makes up for it all.

Julie Bowen plays the “out of his league” female lead. Shaq plays the best mysterious radio DJ since Wolfman Jack in “American Graffiti.” Paul Blart gets promoted to real cop. A fun, heartfelt Halloween hijinks-filled hootenanny. Turn your brain off and get ready to chuckle for an hour and a half.
