  • SCREAM 7 2026 Movie Review – Is It Worth Watching?

    Dis Drawma Kingg went to see Scream 7 last night. What moral do the Scream movies teach the audience? I can’t really think of one. However, there is another kind of message (assuming I interpreted the film 100% correctly). Primarily, they are trying to teach us a principle about physics: If you ever accidentally get hit in the head and knocked over while wearing a ghost mask, you’ll probably be able to get back up.

    My new theory is that the Scream franchise isn’t really just about standard human criminals. A supernatural element hovers in the air of this film universe. Ghost masks can’t normally protect us from that much damage! Is it an interdimensional cult of superpowered ghost masky people? They really should have explained exactly what is going on by the seventh installment.

    K, I’m gonna start talkin’ about something else. An old friend o’ mine said “Hey Drawma Kingg, why do you like movies so much?”

    Drawma Kingg: Just cuz they rule. We can talk about anything you want though.

    Friend: Like… checkers?

    Drawma Kingg: The board game? You play that a lot?

    Friend: No, it was just somethin’ that came to mind to talk about.

    Drawma Kingg: Oh, okay. So you don’t actually have anything to say about checkers?

    Friend: Hmmm, I guess I could say that checkers is kind of like life – in that we are always trying to leap over and become richer than one another.

    Drawma Kingg: Wow! I was not expecting that! You might have a point there, but I know NOTHING on the creation or origins of checkers!

    Friend: I can lend you some books!

    Drawma Kingg: You have books on the subject? I thought you didn’t actually care about checkers.

    Friend: I said I don’t PLAY checkers. Checkers is very important to me. I think about it all the time!

    Drawma Kingg: Is checkers really that deep?

    Friend: Yes, if you think about the varying psychology!

    …

    Is It Worth Watching?: No. Maybe you already figured out that Scream 7 was completely uninteresting on account of the long non sequitur rant I just went on.

    Final Thoughts: 4/10 Crowns. I tried to think of anything positive to say about Scream 7, and the only thing I can pinpoint is the fact that Courteney Cox was in the film. CRASH, BANG, THWUMP, MUGTHWUMP!!! [3 hours later…] Ugh, I was running around the house in my Casper The Friendly Ghost mask when suddenly a chandelier fell on my head and knocked me unconscious! Did I just accidentally prove that the Scream franchise is incorrect in the assumed physics of wearing a ghost mask? Apparitional headgear does not protect your head any better than any other basic halloween mask! I was almost done with the episode before that chandelier rudely fell on me. This final bit was crucial though:

    So do you think Dis Drawma Kingg should become besties with my long lost friend or run far away? Apparently, they are also interested in chess, though in a reverse way — playing chess while refusing to think about it. I also refuse to think while I play chess! We could be evenly matched! 

  • SCANNERS 3: THE TAKEOVER 1992 Movie Review – Is It Worth Watching?

    Drawmakingg.com is a place for reviews of NEW and CLASSIC movies. For today’s episode, I wanted to review Scanners 3: The Takeover, which sadly does not fall into either of these two categories. You could certainly argue that the first Scanners is a classic movie. All the sequels are pretty obscure, so it would be quite a stretch to call any of them classics. There was only one solution. Dis Drawma Kingg must talk about Scanners 3: The Takeover from the perspective of OPPOSITE WORLD!

    In Opposite World – Scanners 3 (Takeover, The) was one of the biggest hit movies of 1992. There were no cheesy special effects in this film due to its enormous budget (one of the most expensive films ever made up to that point in the 90s). Director David Cronenberg won the Oscar for best director. Oh, I forgot to mention that in the Scanners franchise of Opposite World, Cronenberg directed all of the sequels and did not direct the original.

    I dislike the double-main-character aspect of Scanners 3. Wait, now I’m just talking in opposites. Back to PLANET EARTH for a second. What I thought was cool about the movie is that it basically had two equally main characters that have to battle each other at the end. Helena (portrayed by Liliana Komorowska) felt like the main character in the first half, then Alex (portrayed by Steve Parrish) felt like the main character in the second half.

    Is it worth watching on Earth?: Yes, for Liliana Komorowska strongly carrying the whole movie, especially in the first half.

    Is it worth watching on Opposite World?: What Cronenberg film isn’t worth watching?

    Final Thoughts: 7.5/10 Crowns. -7.5/-10 Crowns in Opposite World (I stoopidly presume). I was definitely expecting a much worse movie when I put it on my rectangular TV. Scanners 3’s other main strength was that it was not boring at all. Mostly every scene kept the story reasonably exciting. Before I go, Dis Drawma Kingg has a confession. I have never seen Scanners 2! I watched these movies out of order again just like I did in episode 28 with The Strangers: Chapter 2! Maybe that means I should do a future episode about Scanners 2, an absolute classic on Opposite World!

  • THE NAKED GUN 2025 Movie Review – Is It Worth Watching?

    Have you ever taken advice from someone and soon realized it was horrible advice? This happened to me with The Naked Gun (2025). When I saw previews for the new Naked Gun flick, I thought it was going to be one of the worst movies of all time. I did not plan to ever watch it. Reviews started pouring in. Even the critics seem to be enjoying this movie. Dis Drawma Kingg believes in having a healthy amount of self-doubt, because no one is right 100% of the time. So I said “Maybe I am the one who is wrong!” I went to see it over my best judgment which turned out to be my WORST judgment!

    3/10 Crowns and it only gets higher than a zero rating because of Pamela Anderson. She should have been the lead over Liam Neeson. The main problem was that I found the whole movie to be as painfully unfunny as the preview. Technically, there were a handful of times the jokes landed enough to get a half giggle out of me. These jokes only make you laugh in the way that someone gets a reaction out of you from telling a joke you were not expecting. You may have technically laughed slightly, but then you lose respect for the person after realizing their humor style is mostly various puns. The only scene I really liked was with a snowman they brought to life. Even this scene was more just amusing than it was laugh out loud funny though. In my personal and dramatic opinion, The Naked Gun is NOT worth watching. HOWEVER! [dat counts as a full sentence] I may be the minority opinion in thinking this movie is not funny at all.

    My instinct was to avoid this movie, but I trusted other people over myself. Self-doubt must have kicked in, but I was right the first time with my initial instincts. Here’s the deal (and what I really wanted to talk about because obviously I don’t care about The Naked Gun) — I believe that advice from others usually steers me wrong in life. Like, my instincts are usually better than what someone else is telling me to do. The problem is Dis Drawma Kingg is only human and has certain areas of knowledge that are lacking. I don’t know everything so I have to come to other experts in other fields to resolve various issues in life. What if this person gives me bad advice?

    What I’ve been getting at this whole time is this question: When should you take advice, and when should you reject it? Everyone likes to give advice, but (just in case you haven’t noticed) people think a lot of crazy things! I would highly advise against a lifestyle of following ALL of the random advice you get without question. Let’s try some examples:

    SCENARIO #1

    Advisor: You should eat dis.

    You: You mean, that brownie that I saw you drop on the floor?

    Advisor: He he he. You should eat dis.

    SCENARIO #2

    [Someone knocks at your door]

    Advisor: You should buy this vacuum cleaner! God does it suck!

    You: Like in a good way or in a The Naked Gun 2025 kind of way?

    In Scenario 2, I would advise to never buy ANYTHING from those sneaky door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesmen. But what if I gave that advice to someone and it turned out they didn’t already have a vacuum cleaner and then they died of unvacuumed floor related injuries? I guess that’s just the normal amount of self doubt in me.

    SCENARIO #3

    Advisor: You should vote for this guy! He is going to do GOOD things!

    You: Isn’t he the guy that used to beat up lil ol’ laydeez at the grocery store?

    Advisor: Come on, he’s like 80! Times were different back then.

    You: Instincts: I’m not so sure that was ever a thing since the advent of the grocery store…

    SCENARIO #4

    Your Doctor: Do this and you will be healed!

    You: You start to suspect your doctor is not a knowledgeable person but merely just CONFIDENT. You become 92% sure as you watch him write you a prescription to eat more bacon while he dances the Macarena incorrectly.

    My old rule of thumb was to stop taking advice from individuals and only strongly consider it if a lot of people are saying the same thing. That rule has now been completely shattered by a large number of people on the internet advising me to see The Naked Gun! I’m like Bizarro Alanis Morissette – it’s the BAD advice I just DID take!

  • TOGETHER 2025 Movie Review – Ending Explained

    Together is a sweet love story between Alison Brie and Mike Pancake. It’s Dave Franco actually, but once your name is Pancake in a movie you can’t go back. Old school Hollywood rules. So this pancake was sorta in love with another pancake, and suddenly the two pancakes became STUCK together!

    Now I love pancakes as much as the next person that has ever tried them, but to see two of ‘em STUCK together is gross! I should probably state that I thought Together was actually a very good movie overall. And I loved that it was very dramatic. It was also pretty gross though! If you can get past that issue, the story is pretty fun and comes together nicely by the end. There were a few moments where the tone was a bit odd with the dialogue choices in certain situations. Also, there were more comedic moments than I was expecting for a movie with such an extreme plot. It worked that way, regardless. The funny comments helped make it more palatable that we have to witness two pancakes merging together.

    k I’m just gonna start talking about sumtin’ else now. Ban Smith was a private eye. He liked investigating clues and stuff. He was on a CASE. Arriving at a light green colored house, he knocks on the door. A man greets him with the most chillingly oppressive stare and invites Ban inside. There is a nice fireplace illuminating the living room. The two sit. 

    Man: What brings you to my home this melancholic evening?

    Ban: Are you not the man they call Rodust?

    Rodust: Yes, I have been called by that name. Usually at least a few times per day.

    Ban: Rodust, do you have INFORMATION for me?

    Rodust: I am always holding information. What will I get in return?

    Ban: So that’s the way it’s gonna be? OK. I will offer you this Baby Cat Keychain they just gave me at the gas station for spending over 20 American dollars.

    Rodust:  This offer is acceptable to Rodust. The one you seek is in the hilltop cabin. I would leave quickly. Plus the sooner I have this Baby Cat Keychain, surely the better!

    [Ban hands the keychain to Rodust]

    Ban: Additionally, whenever I again hear talk of the strange rumors people say about Rodust – I will stand up and defend your honor!

    Rodust: No need, Ban. I assure you most of those rumors are true.

    Bandolier Smith is walking on the trail to the hilltop cabin as it starts to rain. The weather is looking like it will be quite grim in the late night. He thinks to himself: “Will I regret giving up my Baby Cat Keychain?” He was feeling an unusual combination of both determination and heartbreak. Odd things keep appearing to his left or right. Dark figures almost in view – yet there is nothing each time he turns his head. Ban was never one to believe in the supernatural, but he couldn’t help feeling like he was surrounded by ghastly entities in the dark of this lonely path. There! Just ahead! Ban was now in view of the towering gate to the hilltop area.

    Ending Explained: The two main characters fully merge into one body. There is now a hybrid Mike Pancake and Alison Brie person and they seem to be fine with the situation.

    Final Thoughts: 8/10 Crowns. Together was better than I had anticipated! It’s just only for people that can handle creepy and gross horror films. Dis Drawma Kingg ain’t afraid of no movie! I can usually handle any film, but even I was fairly grossed out in some of the scenes. I think that is kind of the point though, and it was good at accomplishing it’s task. I would like to add that Dave Franco won some street cred for doing an interesting offbeat movie, thus I will attempt to try to stop calling him Mike Pancake. This means I will have to defy the vastly ancient and spiritual Hollywood rules. Luckily, your brave Drawma Kingg has always been a rule breaker!
