Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar (2023)

 

  • What's it about?:  As the Doomstar approaches the Earth, Nathan struggles to write the Song of Salvation. Meanwhile Salacia and the Tribunal finally enact whatever they've been plotting over the course of the entire series.
  • Thoughts: A nice end to the series. The tone is more serious, the stakes are at their highest and it's great to see the Tribunal in action for once. The audio was a bit off at points though, like sometimes it seemed like the background music was too high while the dialogue was too low.
  • Rating: 8/10
  • Recommendation: Highly Recommended
  • Tier: A
Notable Actors: Mark Hamill, Malcolm McDowell

Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem – A Klok Opera (2013 TV Special)

 


  • What's it about?: Following the end of Season 4, Dethklok is faced with rescuing Toki from the Revengencers.
  • Thoughts: A perfect climax before the end. Most of the songs are straight banger, especially The Duel. Loved getting to see Charles sing and there's some real emotional points that actually hit hard.
  • Rating: 9/10
  • Recommendation: Highly Recommended
  • Tier: A

The Big Year (2011)

  • What's it about?: Three birders compete to see who can see the most bird species across North America in a year.
  • Thoughts: It's a decent enough movie, but as a comedy it didn't really get any laughs from me. I guess it's fine if you're a bird nerd.
  • Rating: 6/10
  • Recommendation: Maybe
  • Tier: C
Main Characters
Brad Harris
Jack Black
A birder who can recognize most bird calls.

Other notable actors: Steve Martin, Owen Wilson, John Cleese, Brian Dennehy, Rashida Jones, Rosamund Pike, Anthony Anderson, Jim Parsons, Tim Blake Nelson
Director: David Frankel

Bernie (2011)

  • What's it about?: A mockumentary/docudrama going over the case of Bernie Tiede, a well liked nicest-man-in-town type guy in a Texas small town who gets in a relationship with a well hated meanest-lady-in-town type woman who eventually pushes him to the point of murdering her. Apparently based on  a true story.
  • Thoughts: Fairly nice movie, Jack gives a good performance as this super nice guy you wouldn't think could hurt even a fly. Matthew McConaughey also gives a decent performance as the sheriff handling the case and not letting Bernie off the hook just because everyone likes him.
  • Rating: 7/10
  • Recommendation: Recommended
  • Tier: B
Main Characters
Bernie Tiede
Jack Black
A very charming and loveable mortician who gets into a relationship with a very toxic woman.

Other notable actors: Matthew McConaughey, Shirley MacLaine
Director/Writer/Producer: Richard Linklater


Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Masters (2011 Direct-to-Video Short Film)

  • What's it about?: Po tells the story of how Oogway brought together Thundering Rhino, Storming Ox and Master Croc to defeat a trio of evil snow leopard sisters.
  • Thoughts: It's certainly a short film that exists I guess.
  • Rating: 5/10
  • Recommendation: Don't Care
  • Tier: D
Main Characters
Po
Jack Black
Po tells Tigress and Mantis the story of how the Masters' Council formed.

Other notable actors: Randall Duk Kim, Dennis Haysbert, Angelina Jolie, Seth Rogen, Dustin Hoffman
