  • HOPE 2026 Movie Review – Is It Worth Watching?

    All right so I just went to see the movie Hope, and you totally gotta see this movie! I’m not even revealing whether I liked it or disliked it. Either way, I think it’s something you should see, as long as you enjoy science fiction/action/horror films. I was a bit dazed at the way the movie ended, and at the same time, I was really intrigued by it.

    Ban Smith was wandering by in plain sight while simultaneously in the shadows somehow. Of course there was something he was searching for, that’s given. Ban was a man with a reputation in his little town.  There was no shortage of incoming work to his detective agency (which really was just a business of himself). Notably, he had a significant increase in phone calls after he solved the case of Morkyzorg eating that piece of pie that one time.

    Oh oh anyway, back to what Ban Smith was doing. In the town area, he happened upon another person.

    Another Person: Hey, Ban. Over here. Have you heard about what’s going down tonight?

    Ban:  [Thinking fast] well of course I have, Another Person. Tell me what YOU heard is going down tonight?

    Another Person: Wait are you just tricking me into going first? Forgive my impolite question. I will be mature and assume the best of you. So what’s going down tonight is the big party at you know – one of the big mansions over the other way.

    Ban: OK what’s “over the other way”? That doesn’t really help at all if I don’t have a location.

    Another Person: Oh I have no idea on the location either. Alls I know is there’s a big party down one of them really big mansions. Obviously now it’s your turn. What did you hear was going down tonight?

    Ban: Uhhh prior to this exact point in time I HAVE heard that there’s a big party going down tonight.

    Another Person: At one of them big mansions?

    Ban: You know what, that is the thing I recently heard too! 

    So I understand this may seem a meaningless story, and it definitely is. After all of that jargon, another person actually followed through later that night and gave Ban the coordinates to the huge party. He solved several cases in one night and saved at least a few lives. I just didn’t personally think that was the interesting part of the story to dwell on.

    Whoops — Dis Drawma Kingg accidentally must’ve mixed some pages of something else I was writing into this review that’s supposed to be about the movie Hope! Okay returning to my illiterate film critique. By the end, I really liked this movie! I just had to overlook a lot of ridiculous over-the-topness. Once you start to accept that, there’s still a lot to enjoy. Additionally, I think it had an interesting ending that I will choose not to spoil in any way.

    Is It Worth Watching?: I would recommend Hope to anyone that likes movies of similar genres.

    Final Thoughts: 7/10 Crowns… maybe. The thing is, I kinda like this movie, but I am also having a hard time giving an honest critical rating. I can’t decide what it really deserves. I did not get bored at all for a movie almost 3 hours long. Plus I thought the sci-fi elements were cool. If you’re someone who watches all kinds of movies, I think you’ll have an out of this mansion experience watching Hope.

  • IT ENDS 2026 Movie Review – Does It Really End?

    I’ve been trapped on a road before. Traffic isn’t moving, and you can’t get home – one of those deals. It Ends was a good movie, because it was relatable! Sometimes we all drive on roads for too long and get annoyed. So if this is just everyday stuff, why would I want to watch a movie about it? Well there’s one thing I’ve learned about movies in my dramatic years as a movie watcher —anything can happen in a movie! Yeah sure it involves a car and some people and a road, but what ELSE happens? That’s why I just love watching movies, because the else stuff is the good stuff!

    It honestly did take me a second to decide how I felt about this film. My only real reservation was that there wasn’t a typical climax or much of a reveal at the end. However, the concepts actually made Dis Drawma Kingg think afterwards! Thinking is not something I do very often! After a few hours of thinking about it, I think I decided that I really love this movie. And I don’t really wanna spoil all the reasons why I like the movie. I’ll try to share a few thoughts.

    The movie had all excellent actors. I honestly believe that if it were four bad actors instead of four solid actors, the whole package wouldn’t have worked at all. You see, this was a cool movie about friendship, and that’s one of the reasons it was great. All four actors selling you on their personalities and their friendship was totally awesome. Another thing I will say is that for a horror film, it does build enormous tension and dread and fear probably too.

    Does It Really End?: Yep, it does end. I think it was maybe somewhere around 90 minutes long.

    Final Thoughts: 8/10 Crowns. I definitely had a more and more positive feeling towards It Ends the more I sat around and thought about it. I’m telling you I haven’t thought in years! Any movie that can accomplish that, must be pretty great. Anyway I would say yes, this is a good example of a film to watch for the else stuff. 

  • COYOTE VS. ACME 2026 Movie Review – Is It Worth Watching?

    Dis Drawma Kingg was walking around one of them “downtowns”, and I thought maybe I should go see that movie about like coyotes, and roadrunners, and possibly more. I think The Last Man On Earth and Peacemaker become lawyers in it as well. None of the characters seemed the least bit concerned that the cartoon realm was melding with regular life. It was obvious to me right away. Not sure how all of the characters missed this. Don’t let me forget the real reason we’re all here though. You’re all wanting to know if Coyote vs. Acme is truly as good as THE SCHOLARS claim!

    Rather than answer that question right away, I should start talking about something else for a little while. Way-back-when before the human and cartoon realms formed a single Earth —I was talking to Bill and he was telling me about all the stuff he needed to do to tidy up his garage. I became 100% certain that I had no interest in a single detail of this conversation. Changing the subject, my mouth said that it sure could go for a blue beverage in the time vicinity of now.

    Bill: Do you mean like a blue raspberry or blueberry drink?

    Drawma Kingg: No, not necessarily. Just as long as it’s blue. Blue always tastes the best of all the flavor options. I bet you we could prove it with a lab experiment.

    Bill: You know for a fact that blue beverage drinking information bores me! Can we please get back to talking about all the ways I had to dust my garage shelves?

    The two of us clearly were not seeing eye to eye on what makes a good conversation. I really thought I had an interesting topic about blue tasting good — “not blue” therefore tasting not quite as good. Could that really have been inferior to a conversation about using a broom and moving a few boxes?

    Is It Worth Watching?: I would say it is right on the line, and the answer depends on how much you like Looney Tunes characters. If you are excited to see all the characters on the screen, then it will probably be worth watching for you.

    Final Thoughts: 6/10 Crowns. Coyote vs. Acme was somewhat enjoyable. I did not think it was anything great, though I wouldn’t say I was bored or disliked it. There were a few laughs. I would say my biggest problem with the movie is that I thought it would be funnier than it was. I think I laughed out loud maybe twice (which honestly is probably more times than a lot of comedies). The general humorous premise did manage to carry the film well enough to maintain a positive feeling throughout. So was it truly as good as THE SCHOLARS have been claiming? [Only remembering now that I made up the name of that vague group at the beginning of this episode and had no backstory in mind… ]Um, no! This vaguely named group that doesn’t really exist thinks this movie is 8-or-9 out of 10 material. Thus, in my opinion, no, the film was not as good as THE SCHOLARS claim!

  • SPEED 1994 Movie Review – Is It Worth Watching?

    WHOA I’m moving at a really high rate of speed! Wait, that’s not even what I’m doing at all. I was mistaken. I believe this confusion is mostly a result of recently watching Speed, the movie from 1994. Perhaps movies can disorient us a bit and make us forget what is real! I actually thought I was moving at a high rate of speed with no justification whatsoever being that I’m sittin’ down doin’ nothin’. Well anyway, I finally watched Speed when it’s over 30 years old, and I’m extraordinarily late to seeing this movie. Though that does make me question – at what point is it mandatory that you’ve seen a movie? For example: it’s not like everybody has seen every movie from the ‘20s, right? So technically nobody can say “Hey you haven’t seen Ghostbusters? It’s been long enough! You gotta go see Ghostbusters!” And then the other person is like “Man, I just got no idea what that movie is about and have no idea what any of the characters look like. Is it about people or something?”

    You know, in this movie there is more than just a fast bus. There is also a fast elevator action scene. How cool is that – more than one fast vehicle involved in this epic production! And at the very end, there is a fast subway! Yummmm, subway system…  Maybe I’m accidentally confusing a thing or two or many many more. OK forget I said anything, and you might as well not read on. [Whistling] Oh wow, are you still here reading? I’d be surprised if anyone wanted to read any more words of mine after that earlier part. So what was I talking about again, oh yeah – a Hollywood movie with fast vehicles! Wait, I didn’t even mention the fact that it had intensely energetic title cards at the beginning of the film! Well now I did mention it.

    Maybe this was just my incorrect interpretation of the movie, but the villain struck me as the kind of guy who had pretty much given up on things in life. The only issue was, he was watching football on television. Hope I got the name of that sport correct…anyway some kind of football play happened on the television, and he seemed to care about it! So the man did care about things after all! I mean maybe just football so maybe he just cared about one thing. I guess he also wanted some money, so there are at least two things this guy liked in life.

    Is It Worth Watching?: Tough one to say for sure on this particular movie. I will say that I myself enjoyed the movie. Whether or not it is WORTH WATCHING for someone else…I would say if you like ‘90s action movies, Sandra Bullock,  and/or Keanu Reeves – then yes, it is worth watching.

    Final Thoughts: I just realized as I’m finishing this review that I didn’t even have a number in mind yet for my Crown Rating! Hmmmmmmmmmm I will give Speed (arguably a prequel to that one where Keanu Reeves fights crime as a superhero that calls himself “The Matrix”) a 6.5/10 Crowns. I don’t know if that number is quite right, yet that’s what pops into my head. Sometimes you just gotta go with the aether I guess. One highlight I wanted to mention about this film is that the two main characters fall in love by the end, so it’s really just a love story where a bus and a subway san—, I mean, tasty subway SYSTEM get in the way. Did I get it right that time?
