  • THE ODYSSEY 2026 Movie Review – Is It Worth Watching?

    Wait, so Spider-Man’s mom is Catwoman, and his dad is Matt Damon? Catwoman is a DC Universe character, whereas Matt Damon first appeared in the Kevin Smith Universe (if I remember correctly). Clown shows up from Spawn comics, which are published by Image. Also, we all know Robert Pattinson famously portrayed a superhero — from the David Cronenberg universe of course. I think his name was Limousine Man or something like that. If it’s not extremely clear already, I was ENTIRELY CONFUSED by the 2026 theatrical adaptation of The Odyssey!

    Dis Drawma Kingg wants to go on an odyssey of mine own now! All right, here I go! I’m moving right over there! Oh man, things are pretty insane over here! I think I should get out of this place and go over there! Things don’t seem to be too good over here either! Oh snap, Limousine Man and Brundlefly are chasing me! I think I’m in the Cronenberg Universe. I better get outta here before my body starts transforming!

    In addition to the strange convergence of superhero universes, The Odyssey was potentially a sequel to I’m on a boat by The Lonely Island. Let’s forget about all that weird stuff for a second though. I honestly did not think I was going to like this movie as I entered the experience. I am not particularly a fan of Christopher Nolan or Matt Damon. Both of them have had some likable movies though, so I couldn’t outrule the possibility of something worthwhile. To my delight, the filmmakers did excellent work here. I felt the movie started out a little slow, and I started to wonder if it was going to just be a lot of boring conversations. About 30 minutes in, everything starts to pick up with more action and interesting events taking shape. 

    Is It Worth Watching?: Yes, it was a completely solid film for the modern age!

    Final Thoughts: 8/10 Crowns. The Odyssey is a little bit difficult to decide on a specific rating. I could totally see somebody giving this a 9 or a 10. Perhaps the only reason the rating doesn’t go that high for me is that I wasn’t completely enthralled in the whole experience. I definitely liked it and particularly enjoyed the camera work and cinematography. The actors mostly delivered great performances too, no major complaints with anyone. I read The Odyssey many years ago and can’t remember it too well, but from what I can remember, Nolan’s version followed the general events of the book more closely than I anticipated. I mean that in a positive way. I didn’t really understand most of the movie’s intertwining superhero plots (especially how Catwoman had no romantic interest in Limousine Man), yet I was still able to enjoy watching it. Well that’s enough about somebody else’s odyssey. Back to my dramatic adventure — I’m gonna start going over there [points]. Because unless you’ve been over there, you don’t know what kind of stuff there might be!

  • NATIONAL LAMPOON’S ANIMAL HOUSE 1978 Movie Review – Is It Worth Watching?

    What kind of animals am I going to see in this house? If there’s a horse, I think I’ll make a song about where it is! Dis Drawma Kingg decided to write this first paragraph before watching National Lampoon’s Animal House. Will it be good? Will it be awful? I am hesitant to review this movie, because my intuition suggests it will be a “supposed” comedy that does not age well. Let’s jump into the movie-viewing rabbit hole and find out the chrooth! 

    There totally was a horse! And it was the best character by far! Animal House largely suffers due to the fact that none of the main human characters are likable. They also don’t seem to have any funny lines. The closest I came to laughing was from a few of the visual gags. Perhaps John Landis was trying to make a statement about college life in the 1970s, who could say? I imagined John Belushi would be somewhat funny. Sadly, his character only amounted to someone that was constantly doing weird and/or gross things. Even simplistic entertainment seemed entirely absent from this film.

    OK enough about that meaningless movie I’m sure I’ll never watch again. Let’s talk about something positive! This is the first episode since drawmakingg.com became one year old! That’s right, July 5 2026 was the one-year anniversary of my original post to the domain! Now in my second year as a self published writer and website owner, this thing could go anywhere! There could be future episodes with a total of six good jokes! I mean it’s possible, I don’t know if it will happen. Thank you so much to everyone who has read an episode or more of the drawmakingg.com archives! I know you’re wondering if I have gotten any wiser after one year and almost 70 episodes. I still believe I qualify as the man with the lowest IQ in bipedal human history. No need to worry about my works of writing getting any smarter. I’d even give a guarantee, but I don’t charge people money to read my movie reviews or pictureless comic books. So I don’t really see what I would get out of having to guarantee anything.

    Is It Worth Watching?: Oh yeah, National Lampoon’s Animal House…no, I do not think it is worth watching at all. 

    Final Thoughts: 1/10 Crowns. I would probably give National Lampoon’s Animal House a fraction of a point (or maybe zero points) if it were not for the fact that Dis Drawma Kingg’s highly official Crown Rating System does not go below 1 point. 1 out of 10 is almost like saying zero on this scale though, so it all works out. Did people actually like this movie when it came out? I have seen plenty of movies from the 70s and earlier. There definitely were a lot of excellent films that already came out by this era. It’s not like society didn’t have anything good to compare to. Well anyway, I’m being a little more negative than I usually try to be. I just honestly didn’t like this movie at all. Although I go on plenty of tangents and make up non-sequitur stories in many episodes of this soap opera called Drawma Kingg, I am always honest about the number I give the Crown Rating and my actual opinion of each movie I review. I would not lie about those things, because I wish to maintain my integrity (assuming I have some) as a movie critic! Stay tuned for the next episode where I’ll probably be reviewing some random cinematic adaptation of a book (such as The Odyssey or Mother, I Finally Have The Mathematical Skills To Count The Number Of Legs I Possess) in an overly dramatic fashion! 

  • 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).
