The Duff Review

Preface

I saw this movie with my friend Pat DUFFy, more on him later, but naturally that joke needed to be made…

Premise

So this movie is basically a Mean Girls-ish high school movie about the technology-based world, and what high school is supposed to be like nowadays.
And mainly it focuses on this girl Bianca who is told at a party she is the Duff (Designated Ugly Fat Friend) to her more attractive friends.
So with the help of her neighbor/jock friend from childhood, she needs to un-Duff herself, get the guy, and defeat the evil popular girl in school.
Yeah, I’ll talk more about that premise later, but let’s talk some positives first!

Kingsman: The Secret Service Review

Premise

Well, it’s official ladies and gentlemen: we have our first great movie of 2015.

Premise

(I decided to start adding in this section just because there are people who don’t know what some movies will be about, which is completely fine, not everyone is a huge movie fan all the time. This is for you all!)
So Kingsman: The Secret Service is about a secret spy organization–you guessed it, The Kingsman–and it’s more specifically about an agent of the Kingsman who is recruiting a new kid to join them following the death of their former member.
And I purposely annotated one of the later trailers above because initially, I didn’t think it looked that good!
- It looked like that Alex Rider piece-of-crap from my childhood.
- Anybody else remember that??
Luckily, it wasn’t. And this movie could be reviewed in just one word: awesome.

Preface

There are two quick ways of me describing me this movie.
“So you know those movie mistake sections in, like, People Magazine? Those ones where it’s like, oh she was wearing this color nail polish in one shot, but the next shot she isn’t wearing any. You know those? Yeah, that’s this entire movie.”
Or……
“This movie kinda reminds me of The Phantom Menace had a kid with Prometheus and that kid is being water-boarded by Divergent. And yeah, that ain’t good.”

Preface

I don’t even know where to start with this movie!!
- That’s not because it’s bad or good either, I just don’t even know where to begin.
Thank God it isn’t Fifty Shades of Grey…
- And yeah, sorry MyMovieThoughts.com fanboys, that review won’t be hitting your screens ever. EVER.
Two words come to mind when watching this movie:
- Trip.
- Also acceptable: Berserk. Ridiculous.

Preface

I saw The Interview in between edits of my Worst of 2014 video, so my busy-ness with that editing cut my time for a review of this.
Nevertheless, let’s talk about the most controversial movie since Interstellar!
