Coming 2 America — Movie Review

WHY?

Movie Review – Coming 2 America

Review by Ray Schillaci

Watching Coming 2 America was like eating a stale bologna sandwich with barely a taste of a condiment. Why did I continue to watch? So you don’t have to. I thought there wasn’t another bland comedian out there like Adam Sandler that could deliver such pablum until this over-inflated Eddie Murphy vehicle came to the small screen to smell it up.

All the time I’m wondering, who on earth was asking for a sequel to the over-decades-old comedy Coming to America? The original movie might have made box office gold, but it was mildly entertaining compared to the Murphy trilogy that was so memorably entertaining and funny – 48 Hours, Trading Places and Beverly Hills Cop. The star has not risen above the three since.

What’s the problem with C2A? Old and bad jokes, predictable plot line and tired comedians that lead to boredom. I kept thinking, “will it get any better with so much talent and the excessive production values? Is there anything good here?” I counted four chuckles spread throughout the hour and fifty long minutes. There are the standouts. Watching Wesley Snipes prance around as General Izzi is fun. The three youngsters who portray Eddie Murphy’s daughters are perfectly charming, and once again Leslie Jones and Tracy Morgan practically steal the movie with their outrageousness. There are also impressive, Broadway-like dance numbers that looked as if they were shoe-horned into the film.

But, there is such a wasteland among the few highlights. Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall work too hard to force laughs. They are just not funny in this retread. They either look like they are holding back or at times so over the top they telegraph the point across. James Earl Jones, John Amos along with the singing talent and other special appearances just feel like throwaways. The story appears to be slapped together with very little thought behind it. Just one bad sketch after another.

The threadbare storyline has Eddie Murphy as Prince Akeem decades later settled well into his royal life. All seems wonderful in the land of Zamunda. Akeem has his beautiful wife, three wonderful daughters and a kingdom to soon inherit. But, all is not right. He is reminded by both his dying father and his militaristic rival, General Izzi (Wesley Snipes), that he has no male heir to pass on the crown, which is dictated by Zamunda law.

Izzi is still ticked off that his sister was jilted by Akeem and now insists that Akeem’s oldest daughter marry his son to keep the peace. Akeem’s daughter turns down the boy flat causing even more tension. It is suggested that Akeem could be assassinated once he inherits the crown with no son to follow.

But wait! Akeem’s (dis)trustful aide Semmi, played by Arsenio Hall, informs him that he did in fact have a bastard son from a wild one-night stand back in Queens that he arranged. They both head back to retrieve the son and soon-to-be prince. Of course, all this assumption on Akeem’s part that this will be an easy mission becomes far more troublesome – having to inform his wife, his daughter, who feels privileged enough to inherit the crown, and a young man from the streets being suspicious and unaccustomed to royal behavior.

Does this sound familiar? Coming to America, My Fair Lady, Trading Places – all better movies than this tired retread. Before Akeem’s son, Lavelle Johnson, sets foot into the kingdom of Zamunda, we know exactly what’s going to happen. There are very few surprises here except for the celebrities we happen to see briefly grace the screen: John Legend, Rick Ross, Salt-N-Pepa (not even able to deliver a full song) to name just a few.

The real sad part to all of this is that the man that gave us Hustle & Flow and Black Snake Moan, writer/director Craig Brewer, has been reduced to the court jester to make all this stale material funny as best he can. He’s obviously overwhelmed with the Eddie Murphy stardom touch with the film looking no different than Murphy’s other underwhelming projects: The Nutty Professor and Norbit where Murphy could play multiple characters for strained laughs while hiding behind so much makeup. To be fair, Brewer had a much better handle on the star when he did Dolemite Is My Name with far better results.

Altogether, Coming 2 America is a dreadful affair draped with some saccharin sweet moments that may make you gag absent of the smallest laughing jag. If you just have to see Murphy in character makeup you can turn to his other movies and avoid some of the cringe-worthy moments. For that matter, if you can’t get enough Tracy Morgan or Leslie Jones then by all means fast forward to their segments and skip the rest.

Promising Young Woman — Movie Review

Movie Review – Promising Young Woman

Review by Ray Schillaci

LuckyChap Entertainment delivers a knock-out with first time feature writer/director Emerald Fennell who assuredly walks a swinging tight-rope without a net with her dark comedy/thriller Promising Young Woman. She’s dared to craft a revenge tale shrouded in mystery that echoes the artistry of Stanley Kubrick, a wicked and smartly written story that makes you think twice (and will likely cause controversy among alpha males).

Those narrow minded will see Fennell’s film as a male bashing affair. But, that is absolutely the wrong label to put upon this story about a damaged young woman who for many years tries to right a horrible wrong. Yes, Fennell displays the very worst in men and we know that they are out there. At the same time, she sheds a little hope on those sensitive men as well. They do exist, but the question is – did they ever succumb to their animal brothers? That and many other themes explored makes this far more than just an average revenge flick.

Adding to this exemplary film is a bravura performance by Carey Mulligan as Cassandra, a young woman who appears to get drunk at local dives and have men attempt to take advantage of her. When they take her to their home and start making their move, she starkly reveals that her inebriation is an act leaving these predators with what they believe to be uncomfortably exposed to a dangerous psycho.

What is the cause of Cassandra’s odd behavior? She was once a promising med student who dropped out after her best friend had something terrible happen to her at a party. Cassandra’s soul aches because of the past, barely functions as an adult still living at home, working a dead end job without any social life except for when she hunts predators. This all changes when she meets up with an old classmate Ryan, played with self-deprecating humor and sensitivity by comic Bo Burnham.

Their meeting and eventual dating is touch-and-go with Cassandra always on guard and carrying out her life of revenge. Eventually, Cassandra happens upon an epiphany with one of her up-and-coming victims and with Ryan as well. She is forced to re-evaluate her life, and with this she lets her guard down with Ryan.

But, writer/director Fennell has so much more to open our eyes with and she can practically assure you this is not going to be pleasant for long. Fennell cut her teeth on TV shows such as Drifters and Killing Eve, and now she displays how sharp they are with her first feature. She has a wonderful slight-of-hand technique. One must watch her film very carefully to catch everything that is actually going on with Cassandra.

Mulligan’s character is not exactly the psycho some may think. She’s a whirlpool of emotions and smarts. A master manipulator – in a good way. Yet, we’re almost afraid to cheer her on wondering how far she will really go. Along with Carey Mulligan is a stellar cast that includes Alison Brie (Community), Connie Britton (AHS), Max Greenfield (New Girl), Molly Shannon (SNL), Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Kick-Ass), Laverne Cox (Orange is the New Black) and Clancy Brown (Starship Troopers) in what has to be one of his most subdued roles.

Then, there is Bo Burnham as Ryan. Burnham hasn’t really made his mark on the big screen until now. Sure, he’s well known as a comic and has done a couple features, but in this film he really gets to show his range. From being disarmingly funny and genuine to a questionable human being, he keeps us off kilter until Fennell is ready to let us in on his real feelings.

Fennell’s entire production is first rate to the hilarious opening shots of men cavorting at a club to Cassandra’s loneliness on the empty streets and her desperation for justice that her friend was deprived of. Director of Photography Benjamin Kracun and Fennell make a wonderful team by capturing all the moods while, as I mentioned before, evoking Kubrick’s eye for making us feel uneasy as he did in A Clockwork Orange. The music score is sensational from “It’s Raining Men” to Britney Spears’ most popular “Toxic”, which is incredibly apropos the moment it begins.

Promising Young Woman is funny, sad, thought provoking and shocking at times. The film will linger in your mind. You may even want to go through several viewings to catch everything Fennell has laid out before you. Of course, you may not be able to do that since it is only available as a Home Premiere/First Run Feature at Amazon, Vudu and other streaming services at $19.99. If that sounds high, think of it this way, if you and your significant other were going to the movies you would probably be paying far more than that after visiting the concession bar. Believe me, this movie is well worth the price of admission.

Soul — Movie Review

Movie Review – Soul

Review by Ray Schillaci

SOME SPOILERS PRECEDED IN BOLD

Disney and Pixar have done it again, given us one of the best pictures of last year. Yes, Soul goes against what so many filmmakers scream foul about, an animated film rising above the level of Oscar’s Best Animated Film to Best Picture of 2020. This is hands down one of the most creative Pixar/Disney films in years, and yes, it is only available on Disney+ rightfully boosting subscriptions and more than making up for Disney’s live-action Mulan.

Jamie Foxx voices Joe Gardner, forty-something, part-time middle school music teacher and struggling jazz musician. Joe has an amazing opportunity to audition for a revered jazz singer at a nightclub and at the same time gets offered a full-time job at the school. His family urges him to forego his dream and finally take on stability not even being aware that he has the audition.

***EARLY PLOT SPOILER*** Joe secretly auditions and lands the job. He’s elated, runs around town, head in the clouds, dodging several accidents, and eventually falls down an uncovered manhole. He suddenly finds himself on somewhat of an escalator on its way into the light with several other souls. Yes, Joe is dead and his dream is dashed.

But, Joe will not go quietly. Instead of going to the “Great Beyond,” Joe escapes and ends up in the “Great Before,” where soul counselors prep the unborn with personalty traits. This part-time teacher gets mistaken as a counselor and gets assigned the most troublesome unborn soul named “22” played by Tina Fey and the hilarity and warmth ensue. Of course, as with most Pixar films, a valuable lesson is learned. Telling you anything more would spoil all the fun.

The design of the whole film is so inventive and gorgeous. Counselors are abstract drawings while souls appear to be near bluish and white teardrops. The colors of the Great Before are total eye candy. The attention to detail is remarkable from piano keys to butterflies. The entire look of the film is awe inspiring.

Most important, the music is an absolute delight to the ears. After all, what’s a movie entitled Soul without a sensational jazz score? The music is so passionate it sweeps us off our feet into Joe Gardner’s journey. It isn’t just the music that tantalizes, but it’s the entire unique sound design that easily transplants us from Joe’s real world to the ethereal one.

Watching Joe and 22’s trek to achieve their goals has me reflecting on my own life. Yes, we cannot help but root for both of these characters, but what they end up with is not exactly what we expect, and the result is very emotional. Disney/Pixar has done the near impossible, created one of the most life affirming films about death.

This creativity deserves honoring, and should be nominated for Best Picture. Now is the time to get a subscription if you do not have one considering what the streaming giant has to offer – Star Wars, Marvel and the Disney library along with their original content, Star Girl, The Mandalorian and Disneynature. So, what are you waiting for? Time to get a little Soul.

Wonder Woman 1984 — Movie Review

NO WONDER

Movie Review – Wonder Woman 1984

Review by Ray Schillaci

Sorry to say there is little wonder with Wonder Woman 1984. I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth, but had theaters been open, this sequel might have done half the business once word got out. Patty Jenkins’ new film comes with lots of promises and sadly none of them are delivered. What we get is an amiable stock superhero movie that could have been set in any time period, wandering around, planting tongue in cheek while winking to us and hammering a message down our throats that is far from veiled regarding the outgoing president, Donald Trump.

By no means am I a supporter. But, I’m not a fan of forced propaganda left or right, and although the message the filmmakers are conveying appears commendable, it’s marred by the obvious as to who they are referring to. The whole ending (not really a spoiler) with Wonder Woman pleading to us at the camera is somewhere between a Peter Pan urging the audience to believe in magic to save Tinker Bell and a Tommy Wiseau (The Room) moment. It’s damn near cringe inducing.

Is there anything fun about the latest adventures of this Amazon? Yes. Gal Gadot and Chris Pine are a fun duo when they have the chance to interact. Gadot can be a true joy as the action hero, but has little chance to flesh out her alter-ego, Diana Prince. This film is far more concentrated on set pieces as evident in its lengthy action opening involving Diana as a child in a contest of strength and endurance against adult Amazon women where she learns a valuable lesson that will later be inserted into her adult life.

Flash forward from the first time we saw Diana as an adult which was in 1918 to 1984. She has not changed a bit, and now works for the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. as an anthropologist specializing in ancient Mediterranean civilizations. Somehow you know this will figure into the plot, especially when she runs into the new employee Barbara Ann Minerva, played by Kristen Wiig as an insecure, awkward woman who would love to be just like Diana.

Enter Maxwell “Max Lord” Lorenzano, a charlatan of a business man very much resembling a young Donald Trump. He’s full of pomposity and insists that he will eventually be the man his young son will be proud of. Obviously, his ambitions are clouded by his ego. That ambition leads him to a mysterious relic, known as the Dreamstone, currently held by Minerva and he woos her into letting him borrow it.

The relic proves to be like Aladdin’s lamp or the monkey’s paw, and that means you have to be very careful for what you wish for because it could backfire and have you regret your wish. Everybody’s wish starts to come true: Minerva becomes fashionable, secure and eventually as powerful as Wonder Woman, Diana gets the love of her life back, albeit in somebody else’s body, but we still see Steve Trevor, Chris Pine, for the most part. And, Max Lord, what could he possibly ask for? The man that wants everything. Well, he wants to be the Dreamstone.

Let the battles begin between our wants, needs, and the pursuit of truth. The only thing separating WW84 action set pieces from Tenet are the wink and nod that comes from director Jenkins and Gal Gadot. Frankly, it gets annoying at times. Especially when children are utilized as endangerment props and used to obviously mug for the camera.

Kristen Wiig’s talent is wasted and reduced to a whiny character and eventually turned into a bad CGI caricature. And Pedro Pascal as Max Lord is given little guidance, barely touching upon the riveting character in the comic books. This cannot be any fault of Pascal since he has more than proved himself in Game of Thrones and Narcos. For crying out loud, the man is more interesting in a helmet covering his face in The Mandalorian than he is as Max Lord thanks to Patty Jenkins and her writers.

Aside from all of WW84‘s faults, the most glaring is the obvious. Why on earth did the filmmakers set it in 1984 other than just a hook and attempt at a nostalgia grab. The ’80s are barely a blip on the radar – a few outfits, a few vehicles here and there, and a quick shot of exercise wear. Little ’80s music, TV or anything that makes us yearn for those days of yore.

Wonder Woman 84 was suppose to be the big Christmas gift from the filmmakers and Time Warner to HBO Max and their subscribers. But, it’s more like a half empty Christmas stocking delivering a minimal amount of joy. Aside from the anticipation for this blockbuster, subscribers can only hope that what Warners has in store for us in the future gives everyone a reason to sign up and keep their subscription. After all, Disney+ really shined with their premiere of Soul.

How to Prepare for a Home Inspection

If you’re selling your property, you can almost always expect a home inspection at some point.

You might opt for a pre-listing inspection to ensure there are no major repairs or updates needed before it goes on the market, or you could await the typical buyer’s inspection — which comes once an offer is firmly on the table.

Whichever route you take, preparation is key. Want to make sure you’re ready for an inspection? Here’s what you should do:

  • Get your paperwork in order. If you’ve done any maintenance, repairs or renovations on the home, you should have that paperwork on hand for the inspector. This includes any building permits from the city.
  • Make sure all parts of the home are accessible. The inspector will need a clear path throughout the property, including any outdoor space. Check that they also have access to smaller or harder-to-reach areas, like closets.
  • Test all of your systems. Be sure that all major systems function as they should: HVAC, plumbing, appliances and even the doors and windows. If they aren’t, call in a professional and address the issues as quickly as possible.
  • Repair anything visibly broken. If you see a broken stair railing, a hole in the wall or chipped paint, take the time to fix it now — before it can hurt your sale. If there’s something you can’t fix in time, we’ll include it on your seller’s disclosure form.
  • Leave for the inspection. You should be prepared to leave home during the inspection. And, if you can, arrange for any pets to be away from the property as well.

Inspections are a crucial part of the selling process. Get in touch today for more guidance on selling your home.

3 Ways to Fix Crooked Teeth

Even though misaligned teeth are very common among kids and people of all ages, we can all agree that these can be quite unattractive and unflattering. These can negatively affect your self-esteem and self-image, but you know what? There are ways to fix that problem with success! Here are the three best solutions to make it happen, so check them out and find the best one that’ll work for you! 

Wear a retainer

Retainers are a quite popular solution for fixing problems such as a single crooked tooth or minor tooth gaps. Needless to say, your retainer will be designed specifically for you. It’s because it needs to target your particular problem. Getting used to the retainer will probably take a few days, so don’t be afraid if you notice that it slightly affects your speech or causes you to produce more saliva.

The best thing about a retainer is that you can remove it while eating and brushing your teeth. It isn’t the case with other options such as metal and ceramic braces, which is a huge advantage. When you keep it in your box, remember that it should be moist enough so that it doesn’t crack. It’s good to know that wearing a retainer is obligatory after you finish wearing braces, too. So, if you have a minor problem with a crooked tooth or a small gap, a retainer will probably be the perfect choice for you!

Go for metal braces…

On the other hand, if you have a big problem with crooked teeth, you should definitely go for metal braces. Apart from the crooked teeth, these can also fix overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Of course, it’s essential to consult with your orthodontist before you make a final decision. They will help you figure out the best type of braces for your particular problem. The price depends on factors such as the amount of work that needs to be done and whether you have an insurance plan that will cover the cost. 

As for the traditional metal braces, these are made from high-grade stainless steel. Your orthodontist will use special glue to attach the metal brackets to each tooth. A thin archwire will then connect the brackets and get attached to them with elastic ligatures. This type of structure will put pressure on your teeth and move them into a straight position over time. So, if you have a huge problem with crooked teeth, don’t wait any longer and discuss metal braces with your orthodontist! 

… Or for ceramic braces

Apart from the metal braces, there are also ceramic braces that are a great choice when it comes to fixing crooked teeth. Contrary to metal ones, ceramic braces also go by the name of aesthetic braces. This is because they come in two variants: clear or the colour of your teeth. It makes them far less visible and prominent than their metal counterparts. It’s a great thing for all the people who would feel insecure and self-conscious about wearing traditional metal braces.

It is good to know that metal braces and ceramic ones basically work in the same way. The straightening process is the same as with the metal brackets. However, bear in mind that ceramic brackets are prone to breakage and staining, which is not the case with metal ones. Of course, nothing bad will happen if you make sure to take proper care of your ceramic braces. Besides that, these are a bit more expensive than metal braces. 

As you can tell, there are many great ways to fix your crooked teeth. These three undoubtedly are the best ones. Of course, your final choice should depend on your personal needs and preferences, so keep that in mind as well. Just be sure to take all factors into consideration and you’ll do a great job!

The Incredible Benefits of Positive Thinking

This past year has certainly been a challenge for everyone. There has been a lot of division and quite frankly, many people have just been plain rude and mean to others. With this type of climate, it’s easy for someone to fall into the trap of becoming a negative thinker.

Studies have demonstrated that your attitude can impact both your physical and mental health. People who are optimistic have a significantly lower risk dying from several major causes such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, and respiratory diseases.

There are proven benefits of positive thinking such as a better quality of life, more energy, fewer colds, lower rates of depression, and longer lifespan.

Now don’t get me wrong, positive thinking won’t make all your problems disappear. However, it will help you approach difficulties in a much more positive and productive way.

So with all the negativity that’s going on in this world, how do we stay positive so we can receive all the benefits that come from being positive?

Keep in mind, challenges and difficulties are all part of life. The key is, when obstacles come our way, to focus on the good things no matter how small they seem. Trust me, you will find them. Get into the habit of doing this. There’s always a silver lining in every cloud.

The best attitude to have always is an attitude of gratitude. Learn to be thankful in all circumstances. Gratitude reduces stress, improves self-esteem and helps you get through difficult times. Begin your day with thanksgiving in your heart. Express your gratitude to those who deserve it and those who have helped you.

Start each morning by writing down things you are truly thankful for. You will find that when you do this, you are improving your attitude and your sense of well-being.

Be careful who you let in your inner circle, attitudes are contagious. Consider the people with whom you’re spending time. A person in a bad mood can bring down a whole room full of people. The good news is that a positive person has the opposite effect on others, they can help lift others up.

When you hang around with positive people, you will find that your self-esteem will grow. You will also find yourself feeling more inspired to reach your goals. Surround yourself with people who will lift you up and help you to always be positive.

Make a commitment to also practice positive self-talk. If you find yourself beating yourself up, it’s time to stop doing that. Stop being your own worst critic. The moment any negativities pop up in your head, respond with positive self-talk. Start using phrases like, “Today is going to be a super fantastic day!” or “I may be going through some difficulties but nothing is going to stop me.” Look in that mirror and give yourself an awesome pep talk. Remember, you were designed for greatness.

Keep in mind, this is all a process. It’s okay to get down once in a while, but the important thing is to not stay down. Remember all the incredible benefits you will receive by being optimistic and positive. Life is short and we have a choice. Starting today, choose positivity!

Have a super positive week!
