  • THE DEVILS 1971 Movie Review – Can I Recommend It?

    I knew absolutely nothing going into watching The Devils other than the fact that it was directed by Ken Russell. Altered States is such a great film that I figured “Sure, I can watch another Ken Russell work.” The beginning seemed extraordinarily well acted with great visuals. I was starting to think “Wow this is an impressively directed movie that has all of the components of great filmmaking.” Well quite a lot happens in each moment after that.

    There are many scenes that are difficult to sit through. As the movie progresses, “difficult” becomes an understatement in this regard. I don’t know who this movie was made for. Russell designed such a precisely executed film on basically every level. The only problem was the specific content. I don’t want to go into detail about any of the disturbing scenes. This is not a movie I could rewatch. Problematically, I don’t know how to rate this movie, because on every metric as a film (other than – do I like what I’m watching?), it basically gets a 10 out of 10.

    Can I Recommend It?: Absolutely not. I honestly believe that if you had 100 unsuspecting people walk into a random theater where they put on The Devils, more than half of them would probably walk out.

    Final Thoughts: 1/10 for how much I could stomach most of it. 10/10 Crowns for the couple of scenes that weren’t extreme. The set designs, the actors, the costuming, the camera work, the cinematography — all of that was great in this movie. On all accounts that I usually measure a film critically, The Devils is actually successful. That’s why I don’t really know how to rate this one properly. Personally, I could not watch this movie a second time, as it was quite disturbing. I watch a lot of horror films. The Devils was an exceptionally challenging movie to get through.

  • 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. 

  • HOKUM 2026 Movie Review – Is It Worth Watching?

    What makes a movie “good”? How do the elements of a long-form video converge to a goodness that is affirmed by a community? During my viewing of Hokum, I found myself reflecting on its individual qualities and what they meant as a whole, kind of like a lemon AND lime beverage.

    Gimme a reason not to just start talking about something else! Seriously, why should I continue talking about Hokum? Dis Drawma Kingg goes on non-sequitur rants about something other than the movie in a lot of episodes of drawmakingg.com. So gimme a reason not to!

    Alas, I was once walking on another world, barefoot on a substance resembling sand. A humanoid approaches me in bizarre movements.

    Drawma Kingg: Hello?

    Humanoid: Hey whatchya doin’?

    Drawma Kingg: Ahhh, not much… how… about… you?

    Humanoid: Ohh nuthin’, was hangin’ out with Nina Lou the other planetary rotation.

    Drawma Kingg: Cool? Who’s Nina Lou?

    Humanoid: MY BEST FRIEND! Wait?! You don’t even know, Nina Lou?!

    Drawma Kingg: Oh yeah… [getting scared] I know Nina Lou. She’s from that thing I saw that one time.

    Humanoid: Phew! You had me worried you were an alien spy for a second there.

    Drawma Kingg: Wow, that is sooooo not like me.

    Humanoid: We’re cool then. If you don’t mind me asking – what’s the one thing you know Nina Lou from?

    Drawma Kingg: Errrm gee ahh… y’know the ol’ memory ain’t what it used to be.

    Humanoid: Surely ha ha, I hear that! I’ll quit bugging you about it. WAIT A SECOND! I don’t know how old you are, but you are clearly less than 100 orbits around our star! How is your memory bad already?!

    [Inputs an electronic command to alert authorities of the extraterrestrial spy]

    Is It Worth Watching?: I personally did not find Hokum to be very entertaining.

    Final Thoughts: 5/10 Crowns. Hokum’s plot did not amount to anything interesting, and there were only some slight scares. Generally, there were no standout moments that were exciting or noteworthy. Adam Scott’s acting is the only aspect that comes to mind to praise. His character hurt my feelings though when he suggested you’re not a writer if you don’t make a lot of money from writing. Dis Drawma Kingg isn’t no gazillionaire! 

    BONUS: Bet you’re wondering how I made it out of that interplanetary conflict alive and how I got back to planet Earth. I’d tell you all about it if only my memory were what it used to be!

  • LEE CRONIN’S THE MUMMY 2026 Movie Review – Is It Worth Watching?

    OH YEAH! Finally, a theatrical sequel to the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode where Frylock is huggin’ The Mummy! I’ve been waiting all week to see this anticipated return to form in the genre of mummy movies. Lee Cronin’s The Mummy was one of the wildest scary movies I’ve ever seen, and I must answer the difficult question: is it WORTH WATCHING?

    Kay I’m gonna start talkin’ about something else…

    I was doing some business in New York City with another person that was also in New York City for the purposes of this story. He didn’t seem to want to agree to the full terms of the deal. “Why do I have to get only soup and salad for my next three unrelated professional business dinners?” and “Why do I have to be dressed in cosplay at the moment I sign the contract?” are the kind of questions he would ask me. My acquaintance just couldn’t seem to see the big picture.

    Drawma Kingg: If we offer you 7 more U.S. dollars, will you take the deal?

    Business Person: 8 dollars, no cosplay.

    Drawma Kingg: Ugh, my employer won’t be happy about this… 6 dollars, no cosplay.

    Business Person: Sparky chum, that right there is a deal.

    [Signs contract]

    Drawma Kingg: I was surprised you were focused on the cosplay paragraph more than the one about the corporation getting to name your first two children.

    Business Person: Dressing in cosplay of my choosing would have been humiliating.

    Drawma Kingg: Well just wait till you have Gloopy and Moppin’ in your life.

    Business Person: What?

    Drawma Kingg: Oh never mind.

    NOW: Back to whatever I was talking about…

    Is It WORTH WATCHING: Yes for those that can handle intense/gross horror. No, for those with a mid to low tolerance.

    Final Thoughts: 7.5/10 Crowns. Lee Cronin’s The Mummy was legitimately scary in a few different ways, and the story was interesting enough. Particularly, the film was frightening in terms of the “family horror” subgenre — by having a supernaturally possessed family member just sleeping over there in the next room every night. One highly relatable scary scene: just when you think coyotes are cute, they start eating you! DISAPPOINTMENT! Such a feeling arrived because there was no Shake, Meatwad, OR Frylock anywhere in the whole movie! Makes you wonder if it was even an Aqua Teen sequel to begin with, yet each viewer must decide that for themselves!
