Was “Winnie the Pooh: Blood & Honey” too high brow for you? Well, have I got the movie for YOU!
The rat is genuinely terrifying for a number of reasons… the story has the narrative weight of “Sharknado”… and the thing devolves into madness from the get-go. If you don’t mind losing a few brain cells and/or want to root for the downfall of Disney intellectual property now entering the public domain – this is your cinematic universe.

So, Limp Bizkit’s here for some reason… and I didn’t hate it.
Pure nostalgia trying to cover for a weird mix of “21 and Over” / “Project X” meets “Small Soldiers.” It’s a wild combination, but works remarkably well, mostly because of the dedication of the cast to committing to the bit.

Not much I can say about this one past what the trailer portrays… It’s weird, and you’ll be shaking your head most of the movie…

It took me a while to find my bearings with this one. I never realized how much a character being able to feel pain and be vulnerable in some fashion played into the overall experience. Once I acclimated, I was all the way in and loved this one! It was a fun action flick with a nice couple twists and a love story woven in. Jack Quaid really makes this one, with the perfect mix of quirky to make the wacky premise work at it’s fullest potential.
8.5
One for the books – Mostly – because it was so damn HUMAN.
Brendan Fraser is really knocking it out of the park lately, and really just seems like a genuinely good dude on and off the screen.
I wasn’t expecting such weight from such a tight runtime, but here we are. Every character is played to perfection and the focus on relationships really drives home the importance of connection in this world, more and more with each passing day. Go on that adventure you’ve been daydreaming about. Get lost in the beauty of the world around you. The good stuff is often in the messy stuff… this one should be talked about A LOT come awards season.
