Movie Review: Trolls


Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today, 10/10/17, I am checking out the flick Trolls.  It stars  Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake and Zooey Deschanel.  "After the Bergens invade Troll Village, Poppy, the happiest Troll ever born, and the curmudgeonly Branch set off on a journey to rescue her friends."  It is quite the cast in this flick that is for sure.  It currently has a 6.5 over on IMDB with 49,651 votes.


  • I have already heard the word happy too often!
  • Dancing does suck
  • That is not cool, do not mess with a mans chest hair!
  • At least he kept his underwear on!
  • Was that suppose to look like intestines?
  • And his underwear is gone
  • That troll-kid was REALLY creepy
  • Is that the same voice?  
  • Well the first song is annoying!  No one wants to be or is this happy!
  • Branch doesn't exactly sound grumpy or a curmudgeon, trust me I know what those things sound like
  • Why would the trolls have different accents?
  • I'm sure it is just an earthquake....nope
  • He is crazy prepared!
  • Doing the right thing Branch, they need to face the consequences
  • That is bullshit Poppy!  Branch should kill and eat them all
  • Well that is a scary forest!
  • I hate spiders....but don't worry Poppy, I'll do the stinging
  • I like this Branch character
  • Those bars aren't close enough to keep the trolls inside
  • JUST EAT THE TROLL!!!!
  • Yeah not the same voice
  • Creek being eaten isn't bad because it is Russell Brand
  • Singing killed his grandma?  OH MY GOD!
  • Okay the terrible voice thing made me laugh
  • Hair we go?  Really?
  • Uggg, some of the voice acting is annoying
  • Wait....now Branch is happy?  BOO!
  • Did he just....um....expel glitter?  I wonder from what body part
  • Wow....Creek is basically me....am I Russell Brand?  I...I can't handle this!
  • I do like the music in this flick, its not my usual style but I'm enjoying it
  • I don't like that the voices change when they sing
  • OH MY GOD THEY LIT HER ON FIRE!!!
  • What is with the cloud guy anyway?
Well that was interesting.  I think I agree with the 6.5 that others have given it.  Since I can't give it a that I'll round it up to 7 because I liked the music.  What can I say I'm a sucker for musicals!

The art style was different and usually I would not like it but it seemed to fit the trolls and their style.  I didn't find the Bergans design slightly off putting and disturbing but honestly I enjoyed the flick.

The music was good and I guess it had a good story for the younglings that anyone can be happy...but me ha ha (inside joke).  

I am typing this up as the credits roll and why is there shitty music here when the music in the movie was so good?  If I had not already closed out of the IMDB page this would have dropped the rating to a 6 because this is some really annoying music!

I haven't said this recently but if you have younglings this is a fun flick.  I didn't like enough to suggest it otherwise however!

Movie Review: Zombies


Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you have come across this entry.  Today, 12/3/17, I am checking out the 2017 flick Zombies.  It stars Tony Todd, Steven Luke and Raina Hein.  "When the world is in shambles, plagued by a zombie outbreak, only the strong will survive, but just how much determination will it take?"  It has a 2.9 on IMDB with 502 votes

  • Yeah....anyone coughing like that makes me nervous...even when there is not a zombie outbreak!
  • That is a very tame looking zombie
  • CANDYMAN!  Tony Todd is a good actor
  • Why would a place have red emergency lights?  That is weird
  • Did they eat the doggy?  Not cool
  • This flick did not waste any time getting into the action
  • GROSS MIDGET ZOMBIE!!!
  • Is there something in the zombie virus that makes everyone able to make perfect head shots?  It is that way in almost every outbreak flick
  • Nice dead corpse
  • Really?  Multiple cabinet view point shots
  • Why save her?  She looks bit to me
  • Really mild zombie makeup thus far
  • I would NOT go into a cornfield in a zombie outbreak....or ever
  • Of course she is going to say she was not bit....she is lying.  Kill her!  
  • Well the acting isn't great...so sad to see Tony in this flick
  • Why is that guy such an ass?  Let the guy go on his own if that is what he wants
  • Nice blue/night filter
  • Luke is not a very natural actor; not bad; but not exactly natural either; its weird
  • Luke reminds me a little bit like Deathstroke
  • Wait...they didn't attack her?  That is...interesting
  • Worst fake blood ever
  • ZOMBIE KIDS!!!
  • Shotgun of unlimited ammo?
  • Four weeks and the power is still on...only it isn't....but it is
  • Not a lot of logic in this flick; or explanations 
  • Good grief the dad is awful in an awful flick
  • I hate it when they do the blood splatter on the camera thing
  • These zombies climb huh?
  • Dead Rising fans wrote this flick huh?  The Combine is a great idea, disgusting but great
  • Zombine?  Really?  She should die for that line
  • Why would you turn the breakers off?
  • Wouldn't that explosion draw more?
  • Of course his love gets bit, of course
  • Is that "emotion"?
  • Of course everyone is going to be okay....of course
Well that was a movie.  It was just there.  I think the 2.9 is the correct rating.  It was not bad but it was not good either. 

I don't have much to say about the flick to be honest.  It was what it was.  It wasn't horrible but it wasn't great.  Like I said it was just there...
