Will Smith Month - Bad Boys (1995)

          Hey guys, Chuck here, and welcome to Will Smith Month. All month long, I'll be looking at the films of the Fresh Prince himself, Will Smith. Now, obviously, there will be exceptions, as I've already done reviews of Independence Day and Suicide Squad, so don't expect me to re-review either of them. You can read my reviews of both to see my opinions on them. Now, with that out of the way, let's kick off Will Smith Month with Bad Boys. 

         Released in 1995, this film stars Will Smith as Miami Police detective Mike Lowrey, whose partner is Marcus Burnett, played by Martin Lawrence. So, Marcus and Mike are tasked with locating $100 million worth of seized Mafia heroin, before their division in the police department, narcotics, is ultimately shut down. So, Mike and Marcus scramble to retrieve the stolen drugs, using Mike's ex-girlfriend and current informant to do so. But, will their unorthodox methods work to retrieve the stolen drugs before the entire narcotics division is shut down? You're just going to have to watch the movie yourself to find out. 

        Okay, so not only is Will Smith great in this movie, but Martin Lawrence is as well. I definitely buy not only that they're partners in the police force, but friends as well. I also enjoyed the performances by the likes of Joe Pantoliano, Tea Leoni, Theresa Randle, Karen Alexander, and the rest of the cast of this movie. The performances of the actors in this movie really make the characters feel real. 

        The action in this movie is truly sharp, and the writing is top notch. The use of over-the-top banter and clever dialogue is just gut-bustingly hilarious, and I just love it. Overall, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Michael Bay made an excellent film here. I give Bad Boys a rating of 5/5. 

       This is Chuck signing off. Join me this Friday as we head to the old West as Will Smith Month continues with Wild Wild West.

Review - The Thundermans Return (2024)

        Hey guys, Chuck here. Last night, I watched the new movie The Thundermans Return on Nickelodeon, and I have a few thoughts on it. For those who don't know what The Thundermans was, it was a Nickelodeon sitcom that ran from 2013 through 2018, and focused on a family of superheroes known as, well, the Thundermans. The show was okay, at least the episodes I happened to catch when it was on, but after seeing a lot of the advertising for this movie, I was genuinely tempted to check it out. So, here's my review of the new Nickelodeon movie The Thundermans Return.           So, the movie starts off with the Thunderman family, who since the end of the series have moved to the city of Metroburg, and are fighting crime as the superhero team the T-Force. And, something worth noting is that the family has aged in real time, so we see that Phoebe and Max are now adults, Nora and Billy are high schoolers, and Chloe is a middle schooler. Unfortunately, after a mission gone awry due to

Review - Ocean's Eleven (2001)

       Hey guys, Chuck here. Back in the 1960's, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and the rest of the Rat Pack teamed up and made a movie called Ocean's 11 , which told the story of a military veteran named Danny Ocean, who teams up with his fellow squad members to rob a number of casinos in Las Vegas. It was definitely a product of the time, and is actually a really fun movie. Seeing Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and the Rat Pack on screen together is just genuinely fun.        In 2001, producer Jerry Weintraub and director Steven Soderbergh would bring together a fantastic cast to tell a more modern version of the Rat Pack classic, and that's the movie we're talking about today. This is my review of the 2001 Steven Soderbergh film Ocean's Eleven starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, and Julia Roberts, along with the likes of Bernie Mac, Don Cheadle, Eddie Jemison, Casey Affleck, Scott Caan, Elliot Gould, Carl Reiner, and

Review - Night at the Museum (2006-2014)

          Hey guys, Chuck here, and after reviewing Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon, I needed something of a pallette cleanser. And, thus, I'm taking a look at the Night at the Museum trilogy, directed by Shawn Levy and starring Ben Stiller, Rami Malek, Mizuo Peck, Ricky Gervais, Patrick Gallagher, Owen Wilson, Steve Coogan, and Robin Williams, with additional cast members throughout the series including the likes of Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney, Carla Gugino, Bill Cobbs, Charlie Murphy, Jake Cherry, Amy Adams, Bill Hader, Hank Azaria, Jon Bernthal, Christopher Guest, the Jonas Brothers, Dan Stevens, Skyler Gisondo, Rebel Wilson, and Ben Kingsley.          So, the first Night at the Museum was released in 2006, and focuses on struggling entrepreneur Larry Daley, who ends up getting a job as the new overnight security guard at the Museum of Natural History, taking over for the older guards Cecil, Reginald, and Gus. Larry also befriends one of the daytime staff, Rebecca, and has a few r
