  • RETURN TO SILENT HILL 2026 Movie Review – Does He Go Back There?

    Yeah, I’m probably gonna go back there. To Silent Hill? That place is dangerous! Yes, I must return. Bro, going there is like the absolute worst decision any sensible human being could make. That’s true, yet I highly doubt I am the only person to make this decision. In Return To Silent Hill, the main character does go back there.

    As Dis Drawma Kingg writes this review, dimensions shift, and I am now in another dimension where it is exactly the same, except I have 2 extra pieces of paper. How terrible my original dimension looks now by comparison! You may be thinking that I could just go to the store and get some of them 2 pieces of paper packs. You’re probably right. However, in this new dimension I am already having them.

    I’m back in the regular dimension, so I have to hurry up and tell you what I actually thought about Return To Silent Hill. The first half seemed a perfectly fine retelling of the video game story, just with small changes. The only problem I had thus far – I was already aware of the plot from the video game. Sometimes when I know the plot already, I find it hard to get lost in a film. That can make it hard to judge exactly how good a movie is.  At first, I welcomed any changes to the source material just so I could be surprised. I even liked the new plot line about how Mary got her illness. Changes near the end made this version of the story a bit worse for me though. For instance – the reason why James did the horrible thing that he did. I won’t even dignify it by spoiling it for you, but I felt this iteration attempted to make James look a little bit less horrible. Overall, I didn’t hate the movie. I definitely think it should have been longer in order to expand on some of the characters, particularly Maria and Eddie.

    Oh no the dimension shifted again, and I believe I am in a third dimension, except in this one I don’t even have the extra 2-pack of paper. Additionally, I am not a famous movie reviewer! Oh wait, isn’t that the same in the regular dimension? Now I don’t know if I’m in a third dimension or if I’m back in my original dimension! I’ll just have to stay observant and see if I notice anything out of place.

    Final Thoughts: 7/10 Crowns. That might be a little generous at 7 Crowns. Return To Silent Hill actually warrants at least two watches. Now that I know the movie doesn’t end the way I would have preferred, I need to watch it again to see if I can just appreciate it for what it is. I thought they did an excellent job recreating the areas in the video games, and I liked the artsy version of the main character, James. I would say one of its main strengths is that it has a lot of scary creatures – if that’s the sort of thing the viewer looks for in horror movies. Quickly, before I go, I have to tell you an important secret code. OLACKIUS GLONGAR MAEPO MALORPA. OH NO! It won’t let me tell you the secret code! DIS DRAWMA KINGG MUST BE TRAPPED IN THE THIRD DIMENSION!

  • ANACONDA 2025 Movie Review – Is It Worth Watching?

    Would you put your face right next to a large snake if your best friend asked you to do so? Would you move to Los Angeles with your bestie to make movies together? Anaconda 2025 wasn’t really about snakes being all snakey and stuff. This was a movie about two things: friendship, and taking risks to do the thing that truly makes you happy in life!

    Early in the movie we get to see The Quatch (hope I spelled dat rite, spellin’ is important 2 luk like a kredibL riter). The Quatch is a low (or no) budget movie that the main characters made about the Sasquatch legend when they were kids. They found happiness in doing a fun project like that together and realize this is where happiness still can exist for them. These themes touched my overly dramatic heart as a writer that once said “Since I can’t seem to figure out how to get a job interview at any comic book publishers, I’m building my own personal website and writing anyway!.” This undertaking also led to my idea for Pictureless Comic Books as seen in Drawma Kingg Sidequest #s 1 through 4. I might have had no luck getting a job at a comic book company, but I was born to write comics! Now I have 4 issues available to read in the drawmakingg.com archive in just over 4 months time! Drawma Kingg Sidequest #5 is coming soon, and let me tell you, this one is an ADVENTURE! I think it will likely take the proverbial cake for best comic I ever wrote. I really hope you enjoy this upcoming exciting issue!

    January is going to be an anaconda of a month for drawmakingg.com! Classics, new movies, Drawma Kingg Sidequest #5 will probably be finished before February, AND BIG SECRET REVEAL – The Drawma Kingg theme song has been composed and recorded! We’re talkin’ just mixing and mastering stages now! Cheers to 2026 starting strong!

    It would be wrong of me not to comment on one particular concept in the film. Jack Black’s character comes to the realization that the movie has to be about something deeper, not just snakes. Didn’t we basically prove in episode number 36: ANGEL’S EGG Movie Review – What Is It About? that this is a myth? Movies don’t have to have a clear point! They can exist with or without appearing to be about something! But I’m probably wrong on all of this on account of being the man with (arguably) the lowest IQ in bipedal human history.

    Is It Worth Watching?: Surprisingly, my answer is yes. It’s not extremely funny, yet it is quite likable – mostly due to the actors/characters.

    Final Thoughts: 6/10 Crowns. The Dario Argento Inferno Poster was the best character, but Jack Black’s acting was really impressive in Anaconda. The themes of friendship and finding happiness were effective, making the film an enjoyable experience. 

    Thank you so much if you have read even a single episode of Drawma Kingg in 2025. It sincerely means the galaxy to me! Until episode #42 in 2026 – Dis Drawma Kingg is signing off!

  • CHAINSAW MAN – THE MOVIE: REZE ARC 2025 Review – What Is Love?

    Garden-Variety Hoe – The Movie was a generous gift to fans of yard tools. It was about feelings, love, romance, and lawnmowers. I am sorry, I think I keep messing up the title/premise. This week’s episode is about Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc and also the eternal question – What is love?

    Denji (Wheelbarrow Man’s real name) falls in love with Reze, a girl that enters his life seemingly out of nowhere. A few dates in, he discovers that Reze is a devil sent to kill him. Despite all the destruction caused in the climactic battle, Denji still wants to be with Reze. This is because human beings can’t just use logic to turn their feelings off.

    What is love, objectively speaking? Reze did not love Hedge Trimmer Man by any standard definition of the concept. Her actions showed that she did not care about his well-being. Denji, however, was presented as having the typical symptoms of love towards Reze. At the very least, I would say he had an infatuation or some kind of naïve crush.

    Dis Drawma Kingg has now opened up an important tangential question. When does it become “love” in the human brain? Is it at the stage of feelings, crush, infatuation, dating, relationship, or something that endures – like marriage? If I were to take a guess (which is probably not allowed in the philosophy genre), I would say that this poorly defined thing we call “love” surfaces in the brain during the dating stage. Any feelings of elation occurring at an earlier phase may just be a one-sided attraction or obsession. 

    Final Thoughts: 7/10 Crowns. Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc won me over with its thoughtful subtext of love versus feelings. The animation and the music were the other highlights of the film. My biggest complaint is that Power, one of the main characters in the franchise, is barely in it all. I regret that I was not able to fully answer – What is love? I feel like I had plenty of paragraphs to do this. Must’ve got sidetracked in the tool shed.

  • CAUGHT STEALING 2025 Movie Review – Is He Caught Stealing?

    Normally, I would love any movie about Catwoman, who even Marvel (Professor, of course – see Drawma Kingg Episode 2) agrees is the best superhero of all. This Caught Stealing movie where Catwoman falls in love with Elvis in the ’90s made no sense though. Didn’t Elvis leave this world in the ’70s? They both look very youthful for two people born before the end of the second world war. Triumphantly, Dis Drawma Kingg powered through to the end, because I had to know ONE THING! Is he caught stealing?

    One time when I was a kid I found a penny on the ground on the road next to a neighbor kids house. As I picked it up off the ground, the kid walked over to me and said it was his penny, because it was by his house. We argued what little we knew about property rights for two kids until his dad came out to review the situation. The neighbor kid, Little Johnny Johnson of the esteemed Jhonifus family, explained the situation more accurately than I would have expected to his Jhonified dad. Little Johnny Johnson Senior, the dad, sided with his son and demanded that I return the penny to his “family’s full monetary estate” immediately. Anticipating an adult to agree with me, I was mortified at his response. They, the Johnsons, got their penny back, and I have been cursed with a not-wanting-money complex ever since. Caught Stealing sounded like a movie title I could really RELATE to because of those couple of minutes I refused to give up a penny.

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ain’t Pretty:

    Good1: The acting was perfectly good, no complaints there.

    Good2: Great ’90s soundtrack!

    Good3 or Ain’t Pretty1: Walkin’ On Da Sun is in the soundtrack.

    Bad1: The plot: Oooh there’s a key that goes to something!

    Bad2: If you suspected the trailer kind of gave away the whole movie, you were right!

    Ain’t Pretty1: (or 2 if you count Walkin’ On Da Sun in this category) Catwoman is in less than half of the movie! You thought I was watching this movie for Elvis?

    Is He Caught Stealing?: No. The movie ends shortly after he takes the money.

    Final Thoughts: 6/10 Crowns. The actors are the only reason it deserves above a 5 (totally average) Crown rating. To be fair, 6/10 is pretty high for a movie about Catwoman and Elvis in their 20s with Walkin’ On Da Sun playing in the background. With that being said, Caught Stealing is oddly a very normal movie for director Darren Aronofsky. I was disappointed that the main character never really gets caught with the money. Under these circumstances, there was absolutely nothing my childhood self could relate to in the story.
