Review - DC League of Super-Pets (2022)

          Hey guys, Chuck here. Well, I just went to see the new movie DC League of Super-Pets. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC, this animated film features the voice talents of Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Kate McKinnon, John Krasinski, Jameela Jamil, Marc Maron, and Keanu Reeves. 

        So, the movie focuses on Krypto the Superdog, beloved canine companion of Superman. One day, when an evil guinea pig named Lulu, who was a test subject of Lex Luthor, is exposed to Orange Kryptonite, she goes on a rampage, mutating other guinea pigs and abducting the members of the Justice League. So, with the heroes out of commission, Krypto must team up with a band of misfit animals, including Ace the Bat-Hound, all of whom were also given superpowers by the Orange Kryptonite, to stop Lulu and save the day. 

           Okay, I honestly found this movie to be pretty cute. The story was very simple and easy to follow, which is good for a family film like this. Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart did really well here as both Krypto the Superdog and Ace the Bat-Hound. I also enjoyed the performances of Vanessa Bayer, Diego Luna, and Natasha Lyonne as the characters of PB the pig, Chip the squirrel, and Merton turtle. Both Kate McKinnon as Lulu and Marc Maron as Lex Luthor were genuinely enjoyable as the villains of the piece. But easily my favorite performances were from the actors voicing the Justice League. Daveed Diggs, John Early, and Dascha Polanco we're all terrific as Cyborg, Flash, and Green Lantern (Jessica Cruz), but my absolute favorites were Jameela Jamil as Wonder Woman, Jemaine Clement as Aquaman, John Krasinski as Superman, and especially Keanu Reeves as Batman. 

        Now, I will admit that some jokes didn't completely land, and we're actually pretty cringey, but overall I did have a decent laugh throughout the movie. I definitely recommend taking the kids to this one, and I  definitely consider it to be my favorite animated movie of the year. I give DC League of Super-Pets a rating of 4.5/5. This is Chuck signing off, and I'll see you guys next time.

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
