Rick and Morty - Rise of the Numbericons: The Movie

Well, that was certainly… a half-hour of television. In a move that can only be compared to South Park’s “Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus” episode, Rick and Morty offer a full episode without Rick Sanchez instead focusing on war between Ice-T, now Water-T, and his Alphabetrians verus the Numbericons. To put it kindly, let’s just say “Rise of the Numbericons: The Movie” has all the tell-tale signs of something that looks like it was much more fun to make than to watch.

True events involve a mysterious organization and their plans to overthrow President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Babylon

  • Title: Babylon

Babylon is a hot mess. Writer/director Damien Chazelle‘s look at the excess and self-indulgence of 1920s Hollywood at the end of the silent film era is itself a bloated, self-indulgent, clusterfuck of a film that weaves through the lives of troubled star Jack Conrad (Brad Pitt), newly discovered Nellie LaRoy (Margot Robbie), and behind-the-scenes up-and-comer Manny Torres (Diego Calva).

The Haunted Mansion Will Bore You to Death

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: Haunted Mansion (2023)
  • IMDb: link

Disney’s original The Haunted Mansion is far from a great movie, but it does work as a serviceable family film featuring a family locked in a house full of ghosts. 20 years later Disney tries its hand at a new version of the film based on a Disney park ride. The result is a terminally boring film filled with a more eclectic cast than the original, and certainly a higher effects budget, but one that can never get out of first gear leaving you languishing with the kind of TV-movie you’d gladly turn off after ten minutes.
