  • 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!

  • I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER 2025 Movie Review – Movie Explained

    Do you love stoopid movies? Because I love stoopid movies! Some examples include: The Master of Disguise, Bio-dome, Kangaroo Jack (actually the best movie, not sure why I wrote that), Batman and Robin, and Fast n Da Furious 63. The problem with I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) is that it is NOT a stoopid movie! It is just a stupid movie.

    The only reason to go see I Know What You Did Last Summer is if you are someone that ABSOLUTELY MUST go to see any movie that has hooks. The only other reason I could think of is if you are a prahfezionnall movie critic like Dis Drawma Kingg. But back to the hooks, the primary focal point of the Last Summer franchise. I can only imagine what the creators/producers meeting in the 90’s might have looked like — 

    Person 1: [Desperately] That Scream movie is popular, but what could we possibly think of other than a mask of a ghost?

    Person 2: Yeah, like what would make us different? What would our hook be?

    Person 3: Oh me! Me! I got an idea! He uses a hook!

    Person 4: [Quietly] That’s a horrible idea…

    Person 5: [Loudly] Jonathan that’s perfect! I always knew you were a genius!

    Person 3: [Defeatedly] My name is Bob.

    Now, it could have ended that way with the room in fast agreement. Orrrrrrr perhaps after the hook was suggested they all went for lunch. When they came back, everyone was feeling kind of tired and ready to call it a day. Someone said “So we’re just going with the hook idea?” They all just REALLY wanted to go home when Person 2 stood up and said: 

    Person 2: If we leave now, I can pick up my daughter Little Mari Sue (full legal name) from daycare a little early so we can make it to our favorite ice cream shop before it closes.

    Person 5: [Loudly] Yeah let Little Mari Sue get some ice cream!

    Whole Room: [Triumphantly] YEAH!

    Creativity may have lost that day back in the 90’s, but Little Mari Sue got her favorite ice cream! So the universe had an inversely positive moment too! Now this is just what I choose to believe. I encourage everyone to believe whatever they want to believe. But if all of this is just my imagination, and Little Mari Sue didn’t even get any ice cream – then what did ANYONE get from the existence of the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise?

    OK, I guess I’ll actually talk about what I liked and disliked about the movie. Praise all goes to the lead, Chase Sui Wonders. She was terrific! Her character was also the only one I found to be very likable. That was the problem with the film. The actors, characters, and the script were not any better than the first time around. Oh, actually there was one other great character – The Cure Disintegration t-shirt. Additionally, I did not find the motivations of each character to be very convincing (except for maybe The Cure t-shirt). SPOILER: A little into the movie it becomes very clear that it is really a sequel that just starts off feeling like a remake. It reminded me of this obscure movie from 2022 called Scream. I doubt the filmmakers knew about that one though.

    Movie Explained: Various events took place, often involving hooks. You may feel I am leaving out some details, but it’s not as many as you’d think!

    Final Thoughts: 2/10 Crowns. It gets such a low rating because I am rarely so bored in the theater. There just wasn’t much to like about it. If you are a long time reader (all month) of drawmakingg.com, then you may have noticed that most of my movie ratings are pretty low. It is true that I DO seek out bad movies. Bad movies are often very dramatic! Did you know that I’m into drama? A dramatic stoopid movie can be the highlight of my year! They can inspire you, make you laugh, even change your life! I Know What You Did Last Summer wasn’t one of these, but I assure you it CAN happen!

  • M3GAN 2.0 2025 Movie Review – Why does this movie exist?

    Yes, I really went to see Megan 2.0 and yes, I was even a Thursday night early bird. Why was I possessed with the desire to actually do this with my short time on this space rock we call planet Earth? Let’s get philosophical today with a lot of whys. Most importantly, why does this movie exist?

    To answer why Megan 2.0 exists, we must first assert these assumptions: that it does in fact exist, I exist, things exist, and the Earth exists. Now that we have the eezy peezy stuff outta da way – why did M3gan get a sequel? I’ll tell you two inaccurate reasons: it was a great film and human beings demanded more Megan world-building.

    Upon hearing of a M3gan sequel, my initial thought was “That movie doesn’t need a sequel!” Upon watching 2.0, my thought had not changed at all. Well, if anything, it solidified. The movie really did have no point whatsoever. I guess on the philosophical end that does make it a good representative work of the pointlessness of real life. When I say the movie had no point, I don’t mean there wasn’t a plot or any goals for the main characters. I mean that the movie did not position itself anywhere in the history of movies. I seem to remember the first Megan being a horror sci-fi film. 2.0 was sort of an action comedy movie. I guess it is still sci-fi, but there were only a couple moments of horror. However, perhaps the only legitimately good thing about the film was [SPOILER] when you see Megan’s makeshift physical body in the basement that is extremely grotesque and reminiscent of the horror robot film Hardware.

    While viewing the first half of the movie, I was actually strangely impressed with the director for how he approached making a pointless movie. It was inexplicably almost working somehow. The second half starts to get so silly that it throws it all away though. Impromptu singing scene, impromptu dance scene, guy accidentally chloroforms himself, impromptu gliding through the air like a superhero scene, main characters doing things that can’t possibly avoid serious prison time scenes, etc. etc. I will say that the movie did actually make me laugh a handful of times. The funny moments and Hardware Megan are honestly the only real positive things I can say about this film.

    Ending Explained: They beat the bad guy. Megan is now [trying to be] a franchise superhero.

    Final Thoughts: I’d give it maybe a 3 or 4 out of 10. A stronger first half than I expected, but the second half WAS just as bad as I expected. The logic and the physics of the movie just fell apart biggg time. I’m pretty sure the main message the movie leaves the viewer with is:

    You should never mix up your poisonous rag with the rag you use to wipe your face. 

    “Oh no! Dat one waz my CHLOROFORM RAG!”
