  • PRETTY WOMAN 1990 Movie Review – Is It Worth Watching?

    What kind of title is Pretty Woman? Is the person who came up with it saying that it is unusual to be pretty? Is it saying that the writer thinks looks are someone’s most notable attribute? Well anyway, Julia Robert’s character (Vivian) turned out to have a nice personality in the narrative, so I think the movie should’ve been called Personality Woman, but they don’t let me write the titles of big Hollywood movies.

    Oh man if they DID let me write the titles of Hollywood movies what would I name them? Ant In A Trench Coat Pretending He’s A Human Leader Of A Sovereign Nation. Suddenly I realize that they would stop letting me write movie titles right after I came up with that one. I’m still gonna come up with some more just in case I ever need them later (which I know is merely a lie to myself). Oh here how about this one– READING A BOOK: THE MOVIE!  

    You can probably tell that I wasn’t impressed with the movie this week. It just seemed to focus on the guy’s wealth and the woman’s appearance. Richard Gere’s character (Edward) does go through a bit of an arc of becoming a better person, however I still found him to be mostly unlikable and incapable of fully changing in a matter of a few days. So anyway back to the made up movie titles.  GRABBING SOME DRIVE-THRU! That would be the comedy thriller of the year! It will be like a funny thing with like some friends in a van getting drive-thru or something, and like something crazy happens, and there are a lot of jokes, so it’s like a funny comedy, yet it’s like a thriller, because something crazy happens! Oops I wasn’t supposed to actually write a script or even a general plot. This little thread was supposed to be about what would happen if they hired me to write movie titles ONLY. If they would have hired me to write the titles of late 80’s action movies, I probably would’ve called one of them Live Hard, because Bruce Willis is still alive at the end of the movie.

    Is It Worth Watching?: Not really. I found it to be a – what’s the word…reasonably disappointing film overall.

    Final Thoughts: 4/10 Crowns. Pretty Woman was problematic for all of the reasons that you would imagine it might be problematic. The storyline really wasn’t quite the right message in so many directions. I don’t think this is just a matter of a movie that aged badly. I think that it was a weak perspective on power and wealth dynamics even in 1990. I really do enjoy many romantic comedy films. Unfortunately, this specific one was not well executed in my dramatic opinion. Now I’m gonna go either read a book or watch a movie. If only some Hollywood executive producers would finance my film, one day the world could do both at the same time!

  • MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE 2026 Movie Review – Is It Worth Watching?

    Put on some energetic music! Let’s get pumped up! Masters Of The Universe just came out, and I know how much you like movies that derive from every fantasy action production ever made! Multiple characters keep punching each other on another planet, which is a direct reference to The Three Stooges Space War. Sword Use is a complete swipe from Monty Python And The Holy Grail. The ultra rare talking cat concept clearly borrows from Mariner Sunset. How could you go wrong spending your hard-labored money on an excessively familiar experience?

    Now I know it must look like I completely make things up for the purposes of a joke, but I have something REAL to tell you! Walking out of the theater, driving home, parking – all was normal thus far. I get out of the Drawma Mobeel and grab the car door to close it, when suddenly I see a huge spark as if I have powers like He-Man in the movie! I believe this spark was nothing more than normal static electricity, however, it was literally the biggest spark of this type that I have ever seen. Also, me not knowing science enough to make conclusions, plus there were no witnesses.

    Well u no I gotta. TESTING SUPER LIGHTNING POWERS! Hmmm I’ll just set up some sodee-pop cans in a row to see if I can zap ‘em down.

    “ZAP”

    “SUPER ZAP”

    “LITTLE ZAP”

    “MEDIUM-SIZED ZAP!!!”

    Nothing happened. I’ll just have to try that regularly, regardless if I ever get any results. TRIAL 2: Okayy maybe I can turn the TV on with a spark instead of the remote control. TV blew up. Never mind on that one.

    Is It Worth Watching?: No, unless you are a devoted He-Man fan that anticipates being happy with any new material.

    Final Thoughts: 4/10 Crowns. All the acting is bad, and there are no interesting twists or surprises. Did you see the trailer? Then you’ve already seen the movie. Masters Of The Universe wasn’t for me at all. I’ll keep trying to zap pop cans though to see if I have any movie powers. Not sure if He-Man actually has lightning sparky powers or not. Bolts just seem to be in the air when he grabs the sword (a sword on screen being a direct reference to Monty Python).

  • BACKROOMS 2026 Movie Review – Are There A Lot Of Rooms?

    Every time I go into a furniture store, I can see all the merchandise in the front perfectly fine, yet I wonder what lies behind the obvious! What could be in the back?! Like, there might be MORE rooms with MORE furniture! Misfortunately, only the elite furniture people are allowed back there. Backrooms is a godsend of a movie that reveals the chrooth of furniture stores and what they are secretly doing in the extra storage areas!

    Dis Drawma Kingg is going to actually try to focus on the main attraction for once in this episode —hey is that a squeaky dog toy on the ground? That’s weird, because I don’t recall ever having a dog… I’ll just step over it very easily since it is small…

    TRIP! FLING! BAM!

    Owwww, I was just sent flying into the air and through one of the doors of my house. Sure hope that door wasn’t one located in what’s considered the “back”. Something I saw recently created a phobia of rooms based on proximity/orientation. Looking around, nothing is familiar. Brooms, mops, cleaning supplies – all things I have never used in my life.

    Commanding myself to my feet, I SLAM through the next door of my house. Surely hope this one ain’t located anywhere in the vicinity of the posterior. There! On the antique table – a comic book. It’s an original copy of Whichever Animal Person #1. I never bought this comic! Who would want a first issue of a comic based on a human-animal character? I do buy a lot of comic books though. Hmmmm… maybe one of them possibly had an idea like that.

    Are There A Lot Of Rooms?: Yes, there were quite a lot of rooms in Backrooms!

    Final Thoughts: 8.5 ish out of 10 Crowns. Backrooms was a superbly executed film. It was scary, tense, well written, and well directed. Chiwetel Ejiofor absolutely deserves multiple awards as the lead actor. I also enjoyed some of its deeper commentary, which is a rare find in a movie. Well, I guess if we were to consider Backrooms as potentially NON-fiction, that would tell us INTERESTING INFORMATION about what’s really going on in furniture store buildings!

  • OBSESSION 2026 Movie Review – Is It Worth Watching?

    Obsession takes route inside all of our minds. If one resolves, we dwell on another. I can think of no better example of such neurotic behavior than this: When I am hungry, I am OBSESSED with food, and when I am thirsty, I am OBSESSED with drink! Fixations can be horrifying as illustrated by the 2026 movie often called Obsession. This is a film not to be overlooked by lovers of scary movies!

    SIDETRACK: Seriously, I gotta tell you this story! So there was this coworker of mine that was obs- WAIT A SECOND! I don’t have any coworkers at drawmakingg.com! Okay, I guess I have to make up a different story. So there was this guy I knew from somewhere OR OTHER that was obsessed with Twig Ball Grass Swimming! He just totally liked it.

    When I would beg the person I knew from somewhere OR OTHER to consult a doctor, he would ignore me. He would suggest that he liked Twig Ball Grass Swimming just the right amount. One time we were talking over two glasses of water at the club downtown, and he admitted to me that he thought I was the outcast for being into movie reviews, and his obsession with Twig Ball Grass Swimming made him socially normal. Dis Drawma Kingg was appalled at this idea. I even ended up throwing my glass of water in my own face on account of wanting the water. I am sad to say my imaginary friend essentially passed away the moment I conceived him. I still contemplate the conversations we had together.

    Is It Worth Watching?: Absolutely (if you are a horror movie fan)! Obsession was genuinely scary and chilling.

    Final Thoughts: 8/10 Crowns. Obsession far exceeded my usual expectations when watching a supposedly scary movie. SPOILER: there is one scene at night where the creepy person is just creepin’ in the corner, and it’s terrifying. Other scenes also build all this tension, like you just know something is about to go wrong. Speaking of tension — Dis Drawma Kingg has to go now. I haven’t had any liquids in a while, and I am finding myself obsessed with drink.
