Letterboxd Review: An Extremely Goofy Movie

Letterboxd Review: An Extremely Goofy Movie - 2000

Story - Max goes to college, but to his embarrassment, his father loses his job and goes to his son's campus.
Cast - Bill Farmer, Jason Marsden, Jeff Bennett, Jim Cummings
Crew - Douglas McCarthy (Director), Scott S. Gorden (Writer), Hillary Carlip (Writer)
Runtime - 79 minutes

I prefer the original, it has the charm and it has more integrity than this sequel.

I do appreciate trying to spice things up but at the end of the day, the two are movies that revolve around parenthood and children growing up. I feel it could’ve stayed as a single movie.

The dynamic animation is great, although it does look considerably less expensive or complex than the first movie, especially in the background.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, I have memories of liking Ms. Marpole, what a woman… 😩

Review: What is a Woman? - 2022

Story - Matt Walsh of The Daily Wire travels around the world to ask one of the biggest questions of this generation. Cast - Matt Walsh Crew - Justin Folk (Director) Runtime - 95 minutes What is a woman? A woman is someone who claims that as their identity. After two years of the pandemic, many theater chains and venues are struggling to put people in their seats, it is harder than ever to get a group of 150–200 people to sit quietly and watch a drama, comedy, or even horror movie, surprisingly, one category of film that has seen a consistent demographic to show up are "conservative" or "right-wing" movies. This is not a new phenomenon, there have always been movies whose primary audiences were conservative, republican, and white throughout history, but this new era of filmmaking has been growing and gaining more attention after the release of the 2023 movie 'Sound of Freedom'. The supposed docum...

Review: Resan (The Journey) - 1987

Story - Petter Watkins' global look at the impact of military use of nuclear technology and people's perception of it, as well as a meditation on the inherent bias of the media, and documentaries themselves. Cast - Peter Watkins Crew - Peter Watkins (Director) Runtime - 873 minutes "I think to remove the veil of ignorance from the world is the most direct way at least to achieve enlightenment." Sometimes it is incredibly difficult to sit and watch a long movie, after all, the way of life in the XXI century has been accelerating to the point that 90-minute movies are consumed in 20 different parts on a tiny screen while commuting to work. This is a world that 15 years ago I would have never imagined. I believe on this occasion, watching a movie divided into 19 different sections has helped me to appreciate and embrace what it is trying to say on a different level. It is hard for someone in 2024 to...

Emilia Pérez - Review

Cast - Karla Sofía Garcón, Zoë Saldana, Selena Gomez. Jacques Audiard - Director "Habla, esta gente habla, pero ahora lo van a pagar." As a Mexican, having to watch ignorant, simplistic, and often disrespectful depictions of how life is in this country is to be expected once in a while. There are countless examples of this in cinema, television, and the opinions of random Twitter users. Most of these are embraced, reclaimed, and even celebrated by large sections of the population, I doubt Emilia Pérez , with its soap opera sensibilities will be hated by many of them. For the more progressive outlets, critics from Mexico, and on Social Media, this is yet another example of a whitewashed representation of the entire country's way of living, its government, and attempting to tackle an issue that causes hundreds of thousands of dead and missing people every year without the proper education and g...
