BOING!

In many ways, it’s much better that this is a mini meh as opposed to going into details about what happens on screen with this one. Even the title says too much without directly showing anything bad upfront, though to be honest, you just have to wait till the end of the movie for that as it goes….

In a film which seems to have come out of nowhere with relatively small amounts of advertising save for some signs about previews on the previous Bank Holiday Monday, we find ourselves looking at a new adult animated film from Seth Rogan with an all star cast of voice actors which was actually quite surprising, but that doesn’t come close to what awaits you.

The setting for this ridiculous film is within a supermarket where in essence all the food and douches (yes….keep going) is alive and all just waiting for that magic day that they get chosen by the gods (aka, us normal human beings) to be taken to the great beyond where they will live in paradise. Our main hero, Frank who is a sausage basically can’t wait for the day that he gets inside a bread roll called Brenda who is his girlfriend and they even just preempt things by just touching tips.

But all is not well when Honey Mustard comes back from the great beyond and tells everyone what the gods do to the food when they reach the great beyond. When they all get picked by a god, Honey mustard basically commits suicide and in the process separates our heroes from said god and the paradise they believed they were going to. They also stop Douche, a feminine hygiene from reaching the Great Beyond, and because his nozzle is broken and he’s discarded, Douche becomes the main villain, juicing up whenever he can to exact his revenge.

It’s been quite a while since we last looked at the X-Factor Origins epic saga that was when the world’s worst singer was the subject of a couple of films this year, both of which had a slightly different idea about how to tell the story. Inbetween examining the french version and this, we’ve had meh over a few films and of course been wasting huge amounts of time playing various games, the most fun of which was had with destroying the demons of hell.

Given it’s been a while of course, and the fact I’m actually coming back to this now , will mean that there are more than likely going to be various gaps in what I remember to tell the truth. But regardless, we will look at the second film to come out this year about basically the singer that was meh. The thing being that back in the day, a rich woman who basically paid lots of money to do stuff and performed badly in front of a live audience who then died in a rather bad way.

Unlike the previous film Marguerite, this film is directly about Florence Foster Jenkins, and goes into what happened with her during the second world war and ultimately how she came to pass away.

Florence Foster Jenkins. Again. Still better than Aqua when they did Barbie Girl.

Once again as was with the previous review, there will be some spoilers, so if you want to know more then by all means, continue onwards. Otherwise catch the next edition of Match of the Day to see if this went into extra time. Or, given what’s been apparently happening between English and Russian supporters a day after the beginning of Euro 2016, maybe look up the casualty list to see how many will survive.

It’s a good thing TM

You know what people, there are just too many films coming out on a weekly basis and remarkably too many that I have watched recently. Perhaps it’s thanks to the countless freebies we get via ShowFilmFirst but in essence, there have been far more films to talk about then you could shake your moneymaker too. There are also a good many that are worth a mention for one reason or another and therefore perhaps it’s unfair that they don’t get that much attention.

Well fear not the two readers who do actually look at content on here! In what will be a new option for the film reviews on Ooh Sometimes, just when there isn’t enough time to go into ridiculous amounts of detail or perhaps when not a lot needs to be said, we will present it as a “Mini Meh”.

Genius no?

So the first victim for the new test format?

10 Cloverfield Lane, a sort of sequel-ish to the original shaky-cam personal story released back in 2008 that happened to feature something which may be for confused for Godzilla, Cloverfield. It’s actually hard to know if this took place at the same time or was later, it’s never actually made clear. Continue reading →
