  • THE CONJURING: LAST RITES 2025 Movie Review – Ending Explained

    Guess who wears two crowns on his thumbs and barely understands The Conjuring franchise? If you said Dis Drawma Kingg, you’d be nearly 100% correct! I am pretty sure I watched the first Conjuring film, Annabelle (maybe), and at least one movie about a nun, whether it had anything to do with this franchise or not. When you watch more movies than God (I am told there is only one God, and my movie count is in the 2+ range), it becomes hard to remember if you have or have not seen certain movies. Also, if a movie is dull, it might leave nothing for my brain to bother remembering. The Conjuring: Last Rites is another one of these films that did not earn any long-term space in my biological hard drive.

    What is the premise of the Conjuring films? All I have gathered so far is “evil spirits be doing things.” I guess I have also noticed that two random people always seem to find real instances of the supernatural, not just constant hoaxes. What are the odds of that even if demons/spirits are real? This review is coming from a place of ignorance, because I haven’t watched most of the movies in the series. I have cared so little about the Conjuring films that I didn’t even realize the two main characters were based on real people until that was made quite obvious at the end of Last Rites. Additionally, Last Rites claims to be based on a true particular story.

    SPOILER PARAGRAPH: How can we tell that the story is true? There were indications throughout. For example: I found it relatable when they put a large mirror out with the trash. The garbage truck crushes it, yet they find it in the attic the next day as if the filmmakers understood my personal life experiences! There were two different creepy possessed dolls. Who only has ONE possessed doll in their home? Relatable. Christianity being the only religion you can possibly use to fight demonic spirits in America? Relatable (to others, Drawma Kingg no understand theology). However, Aquaman’s mortal enemy making pancakes? Do they got wheat crops under the ocean? How would he have any experience with pancake batter? This was the part where I realized it was mostly Hollywood nonsense masquerading as truth.

    Ending Explained: The Warrens don’t really do much, but the spirits still calm down as there isn’t much time left until the credits.

    Final Thoughts: 6/10 Crowns. I enjoyed the acting and the presentation of some of the scares. That was about it. To be perfectly upfront, I found myself wondering if I am the one who is wrong by having a lukewarm reception to The Conjuring: Last Rites. Maybe the emotional family bond themes DID make a good story, and I just have a cold, dead heart or sumtin’ like dat. Either way is fine really. I always imagined I would still be dramatic after my heart stops beating, so I don’t see that causing any production delays for future episodes of Drawma Kingg.

    NEWS FLASH! Join us on Monday for the release of Drawma Kingg Sidequest #2! This installment of my pictureless comic book series will tell the full superhero story of my original character, William Aris!

  • ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES (1978) Movie Review – Is It Worth Watching?

    Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is one of those movies that’s like: “Have I seen this movie?” Have I seen part of it, all of it, or NONE of it? I feel certain that I’ve at least seen the cartoon version. I wanted to give a focused watch of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (1978) and decide what I REALLY thought of this movie.

    There were A LOT of tomatoes in the film. It was just nonstop. I am very good at math (despite having such a low IQ), but even I couldn’t count the number of tomatoes on screen. We’re only talking addition here! That’s just plus one each time! So that really tells you something about the sheer volume of tomatoes involved. Now, some critics may hold the opposite viewpoint and say there weren’t NEARLY ENOUGH tomatoes. I can’t tell you not to believe them, because Dis Drawma Kingg believes we should all interpret information ourselves and form our own opinions! If I say something stoopid and another person says something stoopider, ONLY YOU can decide which one was a greater waste of your time!

    Break time for an unrelated superhero story:

    William Aris became a superhero 2 years ago, but he doesn’t know it yet. One day he woke up with his head feeling a bit off, and he now had the power of persuasion! However, after all this time he still hasn’t figured out that he possesses these superhuman abilities! He just goes about his normal life, oblivious to what is really happening in his social interactions.

    Monday Morning – William is getting his normal coffee-before-work. He is next in line at the Possibly Good Coffee House when the famous local barista, Katie Nightfire, says:

    Katie Nightfire:  What will it be today? 

    William Aris: Can I have a house coffee? 

    Katie Nightfire: Sure! Here you go. Have a nice day! 

    William Aris: But I haven’t paid yet. 

    Katie Nightfire: Well you asked if you could have one, and I agreed. No need to give me any money. 

    William Aris: But I WANT to pay you. Can I please pay you? 

    Katie Nightfire: Well I’ll be… I suppose you can.

    Things like this happened all the time to William without him realizing the cause. Luckily, he had a fairly calm and relaxed personality. In terms of his personal morals — he held the principle: “Whenever confronted with choosing good or evil, it probably made sense to choose good.” So of all the people in the world that could have received this great power, we actually got lucky in a way with William. Eventually he would find out that he had powers and would even become known as an accomplished superhero that saves innocent lives!   

    To be continued in DRAWMA KINGG SIDEQUEST #2…

    Final Tomato Thoughts: 6/10 Crowns if I let myself write off the tasteless parts as unremarkable for the time period. It was an impressive film for the size of the budget. I was also impressed with the level of effort they put into areas such as the soldier dance scene. I was in no way blown away by Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, but I can understand its historical significance when it comes to intentionally campy horror movies. Is it worth watching? Ehhh… probably only if you particularly like that sub genre of horror or if you want to see how a movie can be made without a multi-million dollar budget.

  • WEAPONS 2025 Movie Review – Ending Explained

    Weapons starts out claiming “This is a true story.” Yeah but how troo? I mean, there are different levels of chrooth! Dis Drawma Kingg was very hyped to see this movie. I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed. It’s not bad by any means, it just left me wanting in a number of areas. I would say this is more of a mixed opinion review because weapons definitely had its merits.

    Generally the acting was very good in the film. Also, I shouldn’t prolong mentioning that this review is ULTRA SPOILER – so you should only read on if you’ve already seen the movie or do not want to. OK, so I did really like the villain in Weapons. She was this odd sorta witchcraft practicing kinda aunt I guess? They don’t really fully explain her backstory. I would like to note that I really thought she was going to transform into a monster ant that was collecting a hive of people to do her bidding. There is a scene where some characters are watching ants on the television, so I was like is she gonna be a big creepy bug monster ANT AUNT? How wrong I was! As time continues to pass, I’m still pretty sad there was no ant aunt.

    Sos first the movie starts out with the teacher as the main character. Then maybe 30 minutes or sos into the movie it switches to another character’s perspective. I think “Oh cool! A movie with two different main characters!” Again, how wrong I was! One time a dog ate some crispy potato chips, but that has nothing to do with this review. There were like six different main characters. You keep getting the events from different perspectives. This was fun at two and three, but then I just started to realize they weren’t going to move the story much further in time because they were going to run out of minutes. How right I was this time! The movie has a climax with barely any resolution after. Then it just ends abruptly.

    Ending Explained: The villain is defeated and the kids are saved. It was the aunt.

    Final Thoughts: 6 or 7 out of 10 crowns. I think the movie started out strong but got almost lighthearted and silly in the middle. Plus there was no ant aunt monster at the end. It definitely loses points for that and more points for having a double dream sequence.

    “Oh noooo wayyyy that right there waz just a dream? At least I’m fully awake now! Ahhhhhh! [sumtin’ scary wakes them up again] Oh noooo wayyyy that one waz just a dream too!!”

  • 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!
