  • 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!!”

  • HAPPY GILMORE 2 2025 Movie Review – Is It Worth Watching?

    Happy Gilmore 2 was a somewhat enjoyable movie. Was it worth the two hours of my life I gave to it? Probably not. I think the nostalgia factor of Happy Gilmore from 1996 is the only reason anyone would enjoy this movie. I would be willing to GUESS that anyone that had not seen the original would think this new version was a terrible movie! I also think reading an entire review of Happy Gilmore 2 would be a potential waste of everyone’s time, so I am gonna talk about literally ANYTHING ELSE interspersed with my discussion of the film. I want you, THE READER, to consider this question:

    Which of these two is a better option? 

    1: Talking about Happy Gilmore 2 OR

    2: Talking about anything other than Happy Gilmore 2.

    I was walking down the street thinking about a grilled cheese sandwich. Suddenly, I awoke from a dream, and I am now in a dangerous place. I can smell and feel fire near me. I begin to become confused, no longer knowing if this is a dream and the walking while thinking about grilled cheese sandwiches was the reality. Or was it vice versa? The heat from the flames feels very real, but my mind is hazy. I have to get out of here. I open my eyes fully and take a look around when I see…

    I’ll tell you what I liked about Happy Gilmore 2. All of the actors were awesome choices for Happy’s children. The boys all growing up to be regular Joes with a temper and a crude sense of humor was pretty hilarious to watch. The daughter got more individual spotlight as an actor and did a great job! I really liked Margaret Qualley in the movie, and I was sad her character didn’t end up getting much screen time. I thought they were setting up her and her friends to be more important characters to the plot, but they kind of disappeared after the early part of the film.

    … guards on either side. It looks like there are two exits from this horrible place. Two guards at each exit. They don’t look like men. God, what are they? Aliens, demons, or something I’ve never even conceptualized? I have no idea! They can tell I’m looking at them. One is coming over. I think it’s holding a weapon, but it looks disgusting! It could be anything! I wake up. I’m still walking down the street. A thought occurs to me. I’d like to add some bacon to a grilled cheese sandwich. I wonder if I can find a place that will do that for me.

    Ending Explained: Happy sinks the tricky shot at the end and forgets to charge his electric car.

    Final Thoughts: 4/10 Crowns. Happy Gilmore 2 was mostly a lot of over-the-top goofiness and, unfortunately, not in a good way. The jokes also tend to be really bad attempts at trying to make you laugh. As a fan of the original movie, I will say that I “kind of” enjoyed watching Happy Gilmore 2. I’d only recommend it to someone that puts the original Happy Gilmore in their top 10 favorite movies of all time. Under those circumstances, you will probably enjoy some extra Happy Gilmore content. Now dis Drawma Kingg has to go, because I need a sandwich! The problem is – I need to devote my full brain power to determining WHAT TYPE of sandwich I am in the mood for!

  • THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS 2025 Movie Review – Ending Explained

    There’s this movie called The Fantastic Four: First Steps. You would be correct if you thought it was about 4 superheroes from watching the trailer. It was four separate people with four completely separate personalities. Let me explain.

    Person 1: was a person of person descent. Really valued food, water, and oxygen. Anyways so they was walking home one day with their cousin Jimmy and Jimmy revealed to them a shocking thing! So shocking it can’t be printed! This really affected Person 1 and who they came to be as a person.

    Person 2: was a smooooth dude! I don’t necessarily mean a man or a woman, just a smooooth dude! Anyways, so sometimes Person 2’s smoothness would catch up to them in VITAL ways in life. For example:

    Random Person Walking By When Stopping At A Convenience Store: Hey bro nice shirt.

    Person 2: Thanks bro.

    RPWBWSAACS: You must be a smooooth dude!

    Person 2: Yeah I get that a lot…

    Or here is ANOTHER EXAMPLE:

    Person 2 was just driving by on their motorcycle when two cars ahead got into a collision. A woman flew out of one of the cars and was caught by Person 2 driving by on their motorcycle just at the right time to save the woman’s life! Person 2 didn’t stop to review the scene of the accident! They just drove the woman straight to the hospital and never took their sunglasses off in the process!

    Person 3: was a fine upstanding person, but pretty annoying to hang out with. I mean, for one, their music taste was questionable. Favorites being: Imagine Dragons, Coldplay, and Maroon 5. But a more direct example:

    Person 3: Wanna get some pizzas?

    Other three persons: We all already agreed we are getting tacos and pop-soda for dinner. We already wasted HOURS on this conversation earlier!

    Person 3: Oh right, right. I forgot.

    [Time passes, three persons have already given their orders to the nice lady at the taco and pop-soda stand.]

    Person 3: Wanna get gyros?

    Other three persons: OH COME ON!

    Upon finishing dinner, Person 3 cursed the name of pizzas, gyros, and ALL other food options after experiencing the decadence of tacos and pop-soda!

    Person 4: had even more person qualities than the other three people, and thus was the most likable of the group. Everyone liked this person and here is how you knew for sure:

    Person 3: Wanna get some pizzas?

    Other three persons: God no! Not this again!

    Person 4: Would anyone like to rake the leaves, give the dogs a bath, and then do a funny dance?

    All persons: Yes!

    Ending Explained: The Fantastic Four Foil Galactus.

    Final Thoughts: 7/10 Crowns. I walked out of the theater thinking 6.5 but it grew on me some upon reflection. I wasn’t sure if I was going to like the actors for Sue and Johnny, who have always been my two favorite members of the Fantastic Four. In the end I thought Invisible Woman was awesome, but Human Torch didn’t shine in this movie. [SPOILER] It also left you unsatisfied by choosing not to address exactly how the Fantastic Four join the other characters in the main Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Fantastic Four: First Steps was an enjoyable movie. It just didn’t break any new ground like Fantastic Four #1 in 1961. I have no idea who they are, but Fantastic Four #1 musta been created by some smooooth dudes! I mean what other logical explantation IS THERE?!

    *Disclaimer: Person 1, Person 2, Person 3, and Person 4 do not actually appear to be characters present in any way in the film The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
