Sing 2 (2021)
Sing it again
Sing was an sleeper hit in 2016 with an all star cast as singing animals that ranks from koalas to pigs and porcupines in an new theater, as an fallen lionstar joins the crew. There are more hits, fun and drama along the way in these two hours with something for all. One of the highlights are the actor who played Elton John in Rocketman that fits the character as an monkey behind his piano. You can see the pain in making of this from the choreography to the animation of the fur and the cityscapes. With the Halloween Sing special out the Sing fans are eagerly awaiting for Sing 3 that are not having any date yet.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
Martha
In 2016 Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was released, and was one of the years box office heights. The moment many have been waiting for on the big screen it is Batman v Superman. Two icons are going on the fight with each other as Doomsday and Lex Luthor also awaits in the climax with the fakeout of Supermans dead. I am no big DC comic collector and no big DC movie fan, but which boy would not have waited in decades to see the showdown of Superman vs Batman? Do not come for an thinking independent movie from the mid 2010s but just some action movie for the big boys, as the whole World finally may see the next Superman in 2026.
Into the Storm (2014)
The twist
Tornadoes hits cities in Oklahoma, as an graduation day are going on but that day are going to be ruined by the severe weather. You can see the long making of with visual effects, and the set decorations that are blown up to kingdom come. You also get the outdated hillbilles having fun, and endangers themselves as their price for having fun. An Oscar snub for the really soaring music. What scayr was that an real life tornado was hitting my local city few months ago here in 2024 as an tornado just ravaged Florida. I am no weather expert, so I do know the facts or the lies about an tornado. If you want thrills in the weekend this is an opportunity.
Final Destination 2 (2003)
The End?
After going for 2 decades FInal Destination was one of the longest running horror movies of that time in the 2010s. This time the movie starts with an highway accident as some logs got loose. The movie crew had done a lot of work for that highway accident that are one of the franchise highlights. Then accidents follows at an dentist and in an hospital as the young people must avoid the death. Fans of Final Destination have been waiting a decade for an official sequel after a lot of fake posters and fake trailers. If you want some old school horror movies for your Halloween party the Final Destination movies are an must watch.
It (2017)
Boo to you!
Who has not been in an abandoned house or abandoned city as an kid or an young one to have some fun? It is Halloween which means horror movie marathons. For decades kids have been missing as an shapeshifting clown from the sewers are on the loose. Some kids are up against the clown entity known as Pennywise to beat him up, but that is not the end. With the third movie over there seems to be no more It beside going to an streaming TV show like many movies have done this decade. With Halloween around the corner watch the It movies with some candy but do not come for some deep thinking Blade Runner.
200% Wolf (2024)
Wolf!
Based upon Australian folklore 200% Wolf are the sequel to 100% Wolf from 2020 and the TV show. In this movie the dogs are up against an runaway air balloon and mythical moon dogs that are up to set the World in ruins with an twist. Just like many other kids media these days you have innonenct little animal that makes an M. Night Shyalman and in the twist that sweet animal to ruin the world. You can see the 4 years in the making from the other worldly settings to the fur and the slapstick humor. With how much money the 100% Wolf franchise can do lets see if 300% Wolf can do. If your family wants animation from other worlds stream this.
Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Why do we love ninja movies?
After an police shootout under an ninja attack an woman in the south are possessed and gets martial arts skill. Then lots of 1980s horror and dance shoutouts are happening, as the woman are taking revenge on the cop as she has an ninja with an eye patch as the boss fight but he escapes and pulls up an Spider-Man sequel that leaves the audience hanging. The 1980s was the highlight of martial art movies both big and small on VHS, but the martial art movies they are not death now in streaming mode as Kill Bill 1 & 2 and Danish Chequered Ninja 1 & 2based on the best selling books showed that martial arts movies still have an audience.
Norm of the North (2016)
Why we haveYoutube movie rants
Winter 2016 was not an perfect start for Norm of the North especially when Zootopia would smash the cash register at the box office and the Blu Ray sale later on. Norm of the North are about an polar bear ending up in New York City after people wil buy houses in the arctic. The movie are like people on an acid trip or energy drink coffeine high especially with that quicksiver in the buttons bad guy and the lemmings an bad example of classic cartoon triple trios. You can see the sinking result in animation many times and the many jokes that are outdated by 2024. I think the people wanted an fourth movie and sank like the final Alpha & Omega sequel.
Night Swim (2024)
Thriller night
Winter in cinema can be risky for an box office. Blumhouses Night Swim took the risk and got an early year release and became an success but not of course Inside Out 2 level ticket sales. An family movies into an suburban house with an pool that are haunted, as the unlucky father are the victim. Accidents keep on hitting the pool as the family must stop the curse. I had to watch this as I was an ex swimmer. As this is spooky season this is one of this years horror to stream. Horror and thriller sare of course an hard category to get Oscars, and I think that Longlegs and Nosferatu could get some runners up.
Ice Age: Collision Course (2016)
Collision!
Coming out the same year as Zootopia, Norm of the North and sleeper hits Moana was an daring move for the now gone Blue Sky Studios that had their own Collision Course, but this movie made big money enough for an last sequel in 2020. This time it´s about an asteroid making an threat, as the animals gones out on another daring journey now with many new characters like an litterary llama buddhist. Scrat is this time in space, and are playing the Jetsons. Mostly made for kids, but adults can enjoy this too if they love the vintage slapstick cartoons too as the Ice Age franchise them became available on Disney Plus.
The Purge: Election Year (2016)
Why do we stream movies?
With the downgrade of many shops selling the brandnew DVD and Blu Ray movies we are at streaming buying and rental wars. This time in The Purge an election is taking place like this year in America, but terror awaits an single night with snipers and armed gadgets in the sleepless big city night. Maybe this is the last row of Purge movies, but the rides and TV show are still running ahead. This is not an mid 2010s deep thinking movie jts some chills as this movie was an prophecy of this year. Not just for the slasher and slicing movie and game fans, but also for those who are deep into American poilitics.
Inside Out 2 (2024)
Broccoli
11 years after Inside Out became an success the sequel followed with upgradd animation, hidden Mickeys more emotions, fun and thrills than ever. This time Riley are on an ice hockey team as her emotions inside takes her on an test to win the game while new emotions capers the game. Bubber from his 1990s Bugs Bunny variety show is one of the Danish dubs as Bloofy. If you wanted more of the Nostalgia emotion lady this is not for you. But, who knows if Inside Out 3 will be out in 2025. With Inside Out 2 as one of the highest grossing animated movies this decade so far who knows how many Oscars this will get.
Pound Puppies (2010)
In the shadows
While standing in the shows on The Hub like Friendship is Magic and The Littlest Pet Shop this show ran for 3 years. The show are about dogs and rodents living their secret lives down in secret lair as doing things like funny disguies in their missions. You can also hear the many Canadian celebrities too like those from Friendship is Magic, and with that show Pound Puppies that dog show got an big boost. I know that Pound Puppies have existed for many years, but I am not big Pound Puppies expert. With despite only 4 reviews Pound Puppies are not just for the kids to buy merch and toys, but also their canine loving adults.
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Friendship Is Magic - Part 2 (Elements of Harmony) (2010)
It begins
14 years ago Friendship is Magic began and it was about six ponies going on an adventure to find their six elements and defeat Nightmare Moon the evil version of Princess Luna sister of Princess Celestia. Little did we know that this show would be the turning point of many kids and new adult Bronies back then. This episode began on The Hub, and was one of the most watched shows on that channel before the shutdown few years later. The two parter are an must watch not only for kids but also adult fans of old fantasy movies. It is also an big toy commercial, but this should not be an hint for an two part to be watched over and over on DVD or streaming.
Ghostbusters (1984)
What can I say?
Ghostbusters an 1984 science fiction and comedy movie about Ghostbusters that just like The Lonesome Ghosts the Disney short about Mickey Mouse and friends chasing ghosts in an abandoned big dark mansion. The movie takes place in New York City 40 years ago, as many famous cameos are in the movie. If you want some comedy instead of some deep thought movies like Babettes Feast for a while thuis is a must watch. Many sequels and spin off they have been followed in the 40 years, and with all the money the Ghostbusers cashes in this may not be the end of this row of these classif Halloween comedies.
10 Lives (2024)
10
A cat that lives with his British scientist pair that lives by the famous lands end cliff loses his life after an accident, and he ends up in heaven as he gets some after lives as he comes back as an horse, an bee, a mouse and more. In the meanwhile and mad scientists must be stopped as he creates an army of robot bees. The animation is light on budget, but not the worst of this year so far. Of animation the crew had fun with creating the fur, the landscapes and the afterlife settings. This is not going for the best of animation awards this Winter, but some fun for 90 minutes when the Blu Ray and DVD ends up in the family row in the markets soon.
Bombay Rose (2019)
Far Far Away
Bombay Rose are an animated movie from India that are following two lovers an old lady that are having an crush on an movie star, and another an dancer that are falling in love with an young man on the streets with no parents in Bombay. But, it all ends in an litterary car crash as the guy dies and the old lady dies that same evening under the tsunami. Bombay Rose are an animated movie for the adults that have once watched Roadside
Romeo from 2008 an kid and are now adults and follows Youtuber Cellspex. I am no expert in the Bollywood cinema, but Bombay Rose are an must watch for the independent movie crowd.
A Quiet Place: Day One (2024)
Scat Cat
The first two A Quiet Place movies was so big an success that a third movie was released this summer. An day in New York City the city is under attack by an army of creatures from outer space that attacks under loud sounds. Our two leads must escape from the monsters as the city lies in ruins. An applause to the film makers to make the audience try to be quiet, the music and the eerie settings of an monster attack. There are many classic deserted city movies and books just like Danish Palle alone in the World about an boy enjoy the loneliness until he wakes from his nightmare. This is no deep emotional or deep thought movie just some thrills as Halloween season is here once again.
Hardcore Henry (2015)
Always Hardcore
With the 2010s first person shooter craze like Hardcore Henry and Pandemic was released about people in war with guns and handheld cameras. An man is killed and revived as an half killer machine by his wife. But, the villains bursts in with an army of super soldiers lead by an man with telekinesis as the chase goes in Moscow and an abandoned remote building with an secret high technology cave. This is not an movie to watch if you suffer from motion sickness handheld camera movies and first person shooter games. But if you love these kind of video games for the mature crowd Hardcore Henry are an must watch,
Despicable Me 4 (2024)
4 on 4
Despicable Me 4 released on the 4th of July holidays follows Gru, his new spy mate and the Minions added on with super duper Minions going up against new villains now in A Canterlot Wedding style with a bug villain. The animation had fun from the meme comedy, the squash and stretch and prat falls, the new gadgets and more. The movie may be an classic spy comedy with not much of an plot and meant for an toy line and maybe more Minions spin offs, but it is an must watch for the kids and the parents who grew up with vintage spy movies and spy TV shows. In soundtrack there are Everybody Wants to the Rule the World that are about to be the new Never Gonna give You Up.
Halloween (1978)
Mr Oogie Boogie has come to town
One of the highlights of 1978 in cinema was Halloween the litterary beginning shot to the many Halloween movies that ran until the 2020s. It all began with this classic story on an Halloween nigth as an kid began to murder his family member., and was then sealed into an lunatic asylum. The kid grows into an mute man with an mask on, and goes berserk every Halloween in the crowded halloween Town. Not even bullets can stop the mad man as the sequel awaits. No 12 times oscar bait, but John Carpenters sprinting theme should had an Oscar nomination. The Hallowen movies may be over, but who knows what lies ahead maybe an spin off or two.
The Garfield Movie (2024)
Baby Lasagna
Based upon the classic comics books that began in the 1980s and is still going strong Garfield is a cat that lives with his owner John Arbuckle and the dog Odie that are the abused dog in the comics. This time Garfield and his friends are out to steal milk from an big diary that has their own show in Monsters Inc style. Baby Lasagna from Eurovision Song Contest that does his own comics are in an small role in the Croatian dub, and of course Snoop Dog is in the movie. The movie like the two Super Mario Bros movies cant have it all so they have to cram it all down to 90 minutes after a minute of logos. Garfield may be an commercial movie to sell merch and more, but could be an runners up at the awards this Christmas.
The Band Concert (1935)
Music
One of the 1930s highlights of old short cartoons long before saturday morning cartoons was a part of kids lives there was shorts like The Band Concert from 1935. Mickey Mouse leads a band, but an tornado hits the concert and causes a panic in the audience as the animal orchestra just continues with playing as they get sucked up by the tornado. This short have seemed to be the inspiration for classic natural disaster movies like the two Tiwster movies and Sharknado. If you are bored and want few minutes of something funny in few minutes The Band Concert are an good thing to stream with the volume set high up.
Lonesome Ghosts (1937)
Ghosts
One of the most popular and vintage Walt Disney shorts are called Lonesome Ghosts from 1937. Who wll not explore an abandoned old mansion none have visited for centuries? Mickey Mouse and his friends are on the hunt for ghosts with a gun. But, the bored ghosts are full of pranks, and scares the ghost hunters in their remote abandoned mansion. If you love Halloween shorts all year round Lonesome Ghosts are a must to stream for all the ages. This short was also used in Disneyland. The team of this short must have fun to create the animation like the old house, the slapstick and the sound effects.
Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver (2024)
To be continued
One year had passed sicne the first Rebel Moon movie and the people on the farmer planet are once again up against the army of evil with guns, swords, battleships and more. This time Rebel Moon gives you more explosions, gun fights, sword fights and slow motion than ever as the robot with antlers is like an teaser for Wild Robot that will be out next month. It´s such a shame that Rebel Moon - Part Two was an Netflix only offer so it is like watching your favorite Star Wars movie on the big screen, and watching Star Wars on your VHS player on the smaller screen. But, give this movie a watch if you are an science fiction nerd.
