“Friendship”

6.5

A prime example of why “I think you should leave” is a sketch show. You stretch that out too long, and the cracks begin to show. 20 or so brilliant moments strung together by nonsensical narrative. I really wanted to love this, but ended up cringing by the end. So many genius laughs… just in the wrong format. Tim Robinson is meant to be enjoyed in smaller doses.

“Screamboat”

6.9

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.

“Y2K”

6.7

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.

“Novocaine”

7.4

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.
