The Kitty's Catnip'd Review Show

[Mambi]

Hya! Come on in, weeelcome and get cozy. <giggles and motions to the large couch> This is the place where this veeery giddy kitty reports on a movie or TV show after soaring on some catnip and trying to give his thoughts as they float randomly around his silly tingly noggin <blushes and swoons as he grabs his hen-scratched notes>. All are spoiler-free, I;m gonna be careful not to ramble tooooo much while flying in coloured sparkly wonderland!! <laughs and crosses his paw sincerely, trying to focus a little at least>

Anywhoooo, let's play! <ahem> As it's the one that sparked this crazy idea...the first movie is..."Naked Gun 2025", staring Liam Neeson.

<wipes tears of laughter from his face as he tries to reply> Oh yes, this is funny! REEEALY funny!! <LOL> If you like deadpan-pun based humour, this it the bomb!! Lots of running gags that work, nice joke writing involved clearlly with some thought behind it, and they get the absurdist humour perfectly. Neeson's a good one to fill the role and OMG the way Neeson plays the role the jokes sometimes write themselves. True "Police Squad" style! No spoilers but yeeeah, let the absurdity wash over you and enjoy the ride!! Laughed my tail off...claw up and recomended!! <lays back dizzily and smiles as he puts a thumb-claw up>

(posted from last night's rambling review...just realized I never actually hit "enter"! <blushes deeply while wiping catnip flakes off his whiskers>)

<the kitty lays back and swoons as he claps excitedly> Wheee!!! Tonight's floaty movie was "Superman" (the new one) and OOOOOO It was a fun movie!!

<deep breath to try and focus a widdle> Ok, so no spoilers unless I saw it in the trailer...but the movie has a great tone! Not too serious and not dour like a darkened "how does this god amonglt men restrain from ruling us all..." BS but an actual FUN movie playing with the characters! Good energy, lots of laughs and yeah some of them were UGH corny but the fact they actually humanized Supes to a likeable degree was nice! Maybe some people would complain but I'm not on of them. He felt like...well...a regular guy...who just happens to have superpowers. It was refreshing!

Oh and YES I have to talk about Krypto and the others a bit becasue EEEEEE they were great!! Super-doggie was PAWSOME and they did him great!! He's not super intelligent or corny but literally a playful loyal jumpy dog...with the power to crack a tree in half accidently in excitement. LOVED HIM!!! Mr Terrific was so terrific it's cool and has the best scenes by far. They NAILED him and the t-spheres that everyone underestimates until they see how slick he uses them...always liked the character and to see him portrayed perfectly? FANKITTY-SQUEEEE!!!! <giggles and takes a bowl, loading it with catnip as he purrs>

Luthor? A slightly different take on 'em to me but I can roll with it! Holt brings a luthor I can believe has been playing a long game for a while now and is charasmatic as well as believable really. I BELIEVE him when he says in a monologue with extrordinary detail precisely why he hates Supes and I believe he believes it too. Hawkgirl and Guy Gardner were fun but TBH they were mostly tools to the plot rather than characters worth talking about.

<he texhales a rainbow plume and grins contentlyl as he lays back and stretches happily> Overall, do I recommend? HELL YEAH!! Loved it and I bet you might too, even if not a supes fn normally. The fun energy of the movie and genuine humour might grab ya anyway and for those like me who know the characters well, I'm feeling respected by the movie. Four claws up!! <lays on his back and lifts all four paws high while trying ans failing to keep his balance as the world spins...>

<purrs loudly while exhaling a rainbow plume, a wide satisfied smile on his face as he turns off the movie and claps excitedly>

OOOOoo, that was PAWWWsome!! The movie I watched was "Ballerina" and without spoiling as usual despite by floaty-tingly state, it's nothing to do with dancing!! <LOL> The movie is in the world of John Wick and is action-movie to the next LEVEL! Best of all though, it's all SMART action!! Like, not mindless killings but a plot that makes sense and has soo much heart. The girl leading is amazing in the role, the fight choreography off the freakin' charts and has a logical flow, mixing things up constantly in the pacing and the direction. The way they played with the genre and made things interesting yet believable (as per that world's rules) was very compelling, and they still found ways to make things fresh (no spoilers on those, gotta see blind)

<purring loudly, he rolls around on his couch and stretches as he giggles and dizzily continues to ramble> It also did NOT make her like some superhuman unrealistic girl-boss, but an honest capable resourceful fighter against people NOT holding back, and with her viciousness neither was she! I literally gasped and applauded over some of the fights, and the movie is non-stop but in a good way. They acknowledged in-movie that she was weaker than her opponents and showed how she trained to work around that. And best of all (minor spoilers but you learn like 10 minutes in so come on!)...having her trained with the same skillsets but focused on her particular focus as a PROTECTOR rather than an ASSASSIN was brilliant and a nice touch (effectively unlike Wick in this world, her clan's trained and hired to does escort missions and bodyguard targets, not take them out.)

<he claps his paws together and nods repeatedly> So YEAH!! Had a great time with it!! Looooved the movie and so highly recommended!!!!
