Tammy and the T-Rex is easily one of the most entertaining trash movies I've ever watched.
It genuinely made me laugh, has some truly inspired gory moments, has a cast who are either hamming it up to the max, or playing things completely straight, either way, all of it is absolutely over the top and just sort of works.
Some of the special effects are sooooo awful, but that honestly just adds to the experience. The animatronic prop T-Rex is pretty great. The T-Rex uses a pay phone at one point. The plot is so absurd to the point that I wasn't even questioning any of it. Isaac from Children of the Corn has his head bitten off before his headless body runs away into a stack of boxes.

Will definitely be one of my comfort movies from now on.

"Margaret Atwood wrote The Handmaid’s Tale over thirty years ago now, but it is a book that has never stopped fascinating readers because it articulates so vividly what it feels like for a woman to lose power over her own body. Like George Orwell’s 1984 (a novel that Atwood was inspired by) its title alone summons up a whole set of ideas, even for those who haven’t read it…Atwood has called it ‘speculative fiction’, but also says that all the practises described in the novel are ‘drawn from the historical record’ – i.e. are things that have actually taken place in the past. Could any of Atwood’s speculations take place again, or are some of them taking place already? Are the women in the book powerless in their oppression or could they be doing more to fight it?"

A shy teenager falls for someone who transforms into another person every day.



David Levithan knows how to write around good subject matter. Consistently pleasing novels that make excellent movies. And this one was no exception to that.

The feel good factor about this one is high. And while I love a good romance I find it difficult to believe that even a hormonal teenager would choose to believe such a wild story.

"I wake up every morning in someone else's body." A plot point with lots of potential story lines. But lots that I think I would have enjoyed more than this. That fact doesn't take away that I enjoyed this a lot.

A film with no end and no beginning though... why are you guys doing this to me? Where was the origin story? Where was some resolution?

The Loser's Club
Stand By Me- is one of only three films stephen King himself likes based off of his novels. That is saying a lot because most of his adaptions are bad.

The Plot: After learning that a stranger has been accidentally killed near their rural homes, four Oregon boys decide to go see the body. On the way, Gordie Lachance (Wil Wheaton), Vern Tessio (Jerry O'Connell), Chris Chambers (River Phoenix) and Teddy Duchamp (Corey Feldman) encounter a mean junk man and a marsh full of leeches, as they also learn more about one another and their very different home lives. Just a lark at first, the boys' adventure evolves into a defining event in their lives.

What a perfect cast of people.

Stand By Me- has drama, adventure, kids being kids, bullies and more.

I would highly reccordmend it.
