Hope

Hope’s final fifteen minutes confused me. I thought it was just a straight up sci-fi thriller, action film, but it turned out to be the opening chapter of a series of movies. A trilogy? Two movies? Who knows? I went in thinking it was a self-contained universe, but left with a large universe to reckon with.

The last half even had no explanation of who was who or what was what. We just know that the aliens didn’t want to see some dude explode. Who that alien dude was only the writer knows. We’ll find out in part 2.

I think everyone going in wasn’t expecting it to be continued. It made people hate it for that.

Coyote vs. Acme

Coyote vs. Acme was withheld from theaters a few years back because Warner Bros., the distributor, thought to save money by not releasing it. No film in theater and no money spent for anything. They took a tax write off. But the movie was already finished and a lot of people complained. So here we are in 2026 it finally got released. Was it worth it?

No.

The movie was terrible with a very D-list cast. Not that anyone was bad, but no one but the Road Runner, the Coyote, and Will Forte are well known. Not that the rest were bad just that I never heard of them at all. I hope though they get some work from this.

The movie just didn’t have enough comedy to make me laugh.

The End of Oak Street

The End of Oak Street was set in the eighties. I felt like a movie you would’ve watched in the eighties. You would’ve seen the trailer and wanted to watch dinosaurs roaming a neighborhood. You would’ve taken a matinee to see dinosaurs ravage a neighborhood. You would’ve loved it.

It had the feel of the eighties with a story you would not have known about before hand. You would be surprised and amused at the film Then you get to the see some dinosaurs sexing on a house. Or you get to see someone get chomped up (SPOILER ALERT!).

It was good fun. An enjoyable movie. You get you’re money’s worth.

Why did they ever make a sequel to Beetlejuice? Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was a mess. It had five or more plot lines. If one or two were focused on, then it would’ve made a better movie. There was the mother-daughter reconciliation plot, the daughter evil boyfriend plot, the father funeral plot, the “Ghost House” plot, the wedding plot, the other wedding plot, and then we get to Beetlejuice. So many things going on. They all made no sense mashed into one film.

I guess nostalgia has kicked in for me is why I watched the movie. It wasn’t good. It was disappointing. Never trust nostalgia.
