  • 9 TO 5 1980 Movie Review – Is It Worth Watching?

    I watched 9 To 5 the day it came out! Sorry, I misspoke. I watched it 46 years late. Yeah, that’s gotta be the right one. Nobody really talks about this movie being a horror film. Still, that was my immediate thought. 9 To 5? Eight hours of work in a row? Pretty terrifying idea to me! I mean honestly, does anybody wanna do that? I always thought people liked fun and going to Mkdon Al’s and stuff like that. Maybe I’m wrong. Other than the terrifying notion of eight-hour workdays, 9 to 5 was a really enjoyable movie! The three main characters had a lot of personality on screen, and the narrative and the humor held up surprisingly well.

    One time Dis Drawma Kingg had to work 7 to 3! That’s even scarier, because you have to get up two hours earlier! I woke up excessively early that morning, had some coffee, brushed all teeth, and hopped in the Drawmamobile. I drove four entire miles to get to the worksite! Once I was there, they kept asking me to do stuff! I already got up early and drove 4 miles, what more did they want from me?! It was like they wanted EVERY ounce of my strength and my energy. Have any of you ever experienced an unusual employment situation like this?

    After the early absurd things they were asking me to do (such as remove my jeweled crown and for me to stop criticizing everything), they then made me watch a small area of road for hours! I think they wanted me to also say things about what I saw, but I wasn’t sure on that. Their expectations were unclear. See, what happened was, a vehicle collided into our work materials, and then everybody started yelling at me. I don’t know what they were mad at me for, when I wasn’t driving the car that crashed into everything. Hmm… Almost like they expected me to notify them of what I was seeing or something like that. I don’t know, just too many different things they were asking me to do in the course of a work shift. I think waking up and driving there should’ve been more than enough to get paid. 

    Is It Worth Watching?: Yes, 9 To 5 was very funny and made a lot of points that are still relevant today.

    Final Thoughts: 8/10 Crowns. Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin carried this movie with awesome star power! The social criticisms were meaningful, and although the workplace may be somewhat more mature today, there was still a lot of parallels in current social interactions. This is the kind of movie that could easily be remade at any point in time in order to approach workplace problems in a modern era. Dis Drawma Kingg gives the stamp of approval on 9 to 5, highly recommending this film to anyone. That is, as long as you can get past the initial [barely conceivable] horror of having to work eight complete hours in one day!

  • HOPE 2026 Movie Review – Is It Worth Watching?

    All right so I just went to see the movie Hope, and you totally gotta see this movie! I’m not even revealing whether I liked it or disliked it. Either way, I think it’s something you should see, as long as you enjoy science fiction/action/horror films. I was a bit dazed at the way the movie ended, and at the same time, I was really intrigued by it.

    Ban Smith was wandering by in plain sight while simultaneously in the shadows somehow. Of course there was something he was searching for, that’s given. Ban was a man with a reputation in his little town.  There was no shortage of incoming work to his detective agency (which really was just a business of himself). Notably, he had a significant increase in phone calls after he solved the case of Morkyzorg eating that piece of pie that one time.

    Oh oh anyway, back to what Ban Smith was doing. In the town area, he happened upon another person.

    Another Person: Hey, Ban. Over here. Have you heard about what’s going down tonight?

    Ban:  [Thinking fast] well of course I have, Another Person. Tell me what YOU heard is going down tonight?

    Another Person: Wait are you just tricking me into going first? Forgive my impolite question. I will be mature and assume the best of you. So what’s going down tonight is the big party at you know – one of the big mansions over the other way.

    Ban: OK what’s “over the other way”? That doesn’t really help at all if I don’t have a location.

    Another Person: Oh I have no idea on the location either. Alls I know is there’s a big party down one of them really big mansions. Obviously now it’s your turn. What did you hear was going down tonight?

    Ban: Uhhh prior to this exact point in time I HAVE heard that there’s a big party going down tonight.

    Another Person: At one of them big mansions?

    Ban: You know what, that is the thing I recently heard too! 

    So I understand this may seem a meaningless story, and it definitely is. After all of that jargon, another person actually followed through later that night and gave Ban the coordinates to the huge party. He solved several cases in one night and saved at least a few lives. I just didn’t personally think that was the interesting part of the story to dwell on.

    Whoops — Dis Drawma Kingg accidentally must’ve mixed some pages of something else I was writing into this review that’s supposed to be about the movie Hope! Okay returning to my illiterate film critique. By the end, I really liked this movie! I just had to overlook a lot of ridiculous over-the-topness. Once you start to accept that, there’s still a lot to enjoy. Additionally, I think it had an interesting ending that I will choose not to spoil in any way.

    Is It Worth Watching?: I would recommend Hope to anyone that likes movies of similar genres.

    Final Thoughts: 7/10 Crowns… maybe. The thing is, I kinda like this movie, but I am also having a hard time giving an honest critical rating. I can’t decide what it really deserves. I did not get bored at all for a movie almost 3 hours long. Plus I thought the sci-fi elements were cool. If you’re someone who watches all kinds of movies, I think you’ll have an out of this mansion experience watching Hope.

  • IT ENDS 2026 Movie Review – Does It Really End?

    I’ve been trapped on a road before. Traffic isn’t moving, and you can’t get home – one of those deals. It Ends was a good movie, because it was relatable! Sometimes we all drive on roads for too long and get annoyed. So if this is just everyday stuff, why would I want to watch a movie about it? Well there’s one thing I’ve learned about movies in my dramatic years as a movie watcher —anything can happen in a movie! Yeah sure it involves a car and some people and a road, but what ELSE happens? That’s why I just love watching movies, because the else stuff is the good stuff!

    It honestly did take me a second to decide how I felt about this film. My only real reservation was that there wasn’t a typical climax or much of a reveal at the end. However, the concepts actually made Dis Drawma Kingg think afterwards! Thinking is not something I do very often! After a few hours of thinking about it, I think I decided that I really love this movie. And I don’t really wanna spoil all the reasons why I like the movie. I’ll try to share a few thoughts.

    The movie had all excellent actors. I honestly believe that if it were four bad actors instead of four solid actors, the whole package wouldn’t have worked at all. You see, this was a cool movie about friendship, and that’s one of the reasons it was great. All four actors selling you on their personalities and their friendship was totally awesome. Another thing I will say is that for a horror film, it does build enormous tension and dread and fear probably too.

    Does It Really End?: Yep, it does end. I think it was maybe somewhere around 90 minutes long.

    Final Thoughts: 8/10 Crowns. I definitely had a more and more positive feeling towards It Ends the more I sat around and thought about it. I’m telling you I haven’t thought in years! Any movie that can accomplish that, must be pretty great. Anyway I would say yes, this is a good example of a film to watch for the else stuff. 

  • COYOTE VS. ACME 2026 Movie Review – Is It Worth Watching?

    Dis Drawma Kingg was walking around one of them “downtowns”, and I thought maybe I should go see that movie about like coyotes, and roadrunners, and possibly more. I think The Last Man On Earth and Peacemaker become lawyers in it as well. None of the characters seemed the least bit concerned that the cartoon realm was melding with regular life. It was obvious to me right away. Not sure how all of the characters missed this. Don’t let me forget the real reason we’re all here though. You’re all wanting to know if Coyote vs. Acme is truly as good as THE SCHOLARS claim!

    Rather than answer that question right away, I should start talking about something else for a little while. Way-back-when before the human and cartoon realms formed a single Earth —I was talking to Bill and he was telling me about all the stuff he needed to do to tidy up his garage. I became 100% certain that I had no interest in a single detail of this conversation. Changing the subject, my mouth said that it sure could go for a blue beverage in the time vicinity of now.

    Bill: Do you mean like a blue raspberry or blueberry drink?

    Drawma Kingg: No, not necessarily. Just as long as it’s blue. Blue always tastes the best of all the flavor options. I bet you we could prove it with a lab experiment.

    Bill: You know for a fact that blue beverage drinking information bores me! Can we please get back to talking about all the ways I had to dust my garage shelves?

    The two of us clearly were not seeing eye to eye on what makes a good conversation. I really thought I had an interesting topic about blue tasting good — “not blue” therefore tasting not quite as good. Could that really have been inferior to a conversation about using a broom and moving a few boxes?

    Is It Worth Watching?: I would say it is right on the line, and the answer depends on how much you like Looney Tunes characters. If you are excited to see all the characters on the screen, then it will probably be worth watching for you.

    Final Thoughts: 6/10 Crowns. Coyote vs. Acme was somewhat enjoyable. I did not think it was anything great, though I wouldn’t say I was bored or disliked it. There were a few laughs. I would say my biggest problem with the movie is that I thought it would be funnier than it was. I think I laughed out loud maybe twice (which honestly is probably more times than a lot of comedies). The general humorous premise did manage to carry the film well enough to maintain a positive feeling throughout. So was it truly as good as THE SCHOLARS have been claiming? [Only remembering now that I made up the name of that vague group at the beginning of this episode and had no backstory in mind… ]Um, no! This vaguely named group that doesn’t really exist thinks this movie is 8-or-9 out of 10 material. Thus, in my opinion, no, the film was not as good as THE SCHOLARS claim!
