Grimsburg 2024 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

 When the girl tells the boy in the car that he is a great kisser, he tells her that he has been practicing. Suddenly there is someone outside, which the girl sees but the boy doesn't notice. In fact, he still talks about how resilient she is even after a chainsaw has taken her head off.


Marvin Flute (Jon Hamm), who used to be a detective on the Grimsburg police but is currently staying in a sleazy hotel, wears a duckie inner tube as underwear and punches his image in a mirror. This is how his former boss, Lieutenant John Kang (Greg Chun), finds him; He is the only one who can solve this case. He gives Flute a temporary badge so he can return to Grimsburg, a town that promotes his cursed status on its welcome posters, to investigate.

Creators: Chadd Gindin, Catlan McClelland, Matthew Schlissel
Stars: Rachel Dratch, Jon Hamm, Erinn Hayes

He meets his new partner, mostly cyborg Detective Greg Summers (Kevin Michael Richardson), at the scene. As he imagines witnessing the murder, he theorizes that the girl, the daughter of the town's mayor (Jaime Camil), has been kidnapped and is still alive. When they find the head in a block of ice with a note about the girl, signed by "The Killer", Marvin is impressed with the handwriting.


One of the things he has to deal with when he returns to Grimsburg is his ex-wife Harmony Flute (Erinn Hayes), who is a local television news reporter. He is still in love with the woman, who was raised by bears and eats that way, and wants to bring his family back together. One obstacle is that he has to be there for his son Stan (Rachel Dratch). He promises to go to the parent-child dance at Stan's school, and Stan promises that he will no longer see the vision of a fire-charged skeleton named Mr. Flesh (Alan Tudyk), when he still sees him.


After the medical examiner finds a flute stuffed up the murder victim's butt, Flute tries to get guidance on the calling card of his music teacher mentor, Dr. Rufis Pentos (Tudyk), who continues teaching despite to serve a life sentence for a horrible crime. murder. What Dr. Pentos says is that “parents really block the sun,” which baffles Flute. Summers finds evidence that points to Police Chief Patsy Stamos (Wendi McLendon-Covey), a flat-earther who is very close to MAGA in her views, but who has her own parent-child issues to deal with.


Hamm is executive producer of Grimsburg; The show was created by Catlan McClelland and Matthew Schlissel, and the showrunner is Chadd Gindin. There isn't much animation experience here and it shows; It seems like instead of trying to give us an idea of who Flute is, they're just trying to shove joke after joke down all the characters' throats, even if the jokes aren't all that funny.


They seem to be operating under the notion that Hamm can be tremendously funny, but instead of giving him really funny lines to say, they just have him mess up easy words and do silly voices instead of having him play the flute more directly. It's like they never learned the lesson that everyone who watched Airplane! 44 years ago I learned: Funny phrases said seriously are much funnier than when said nonsense. There were moments where Hamm could have taken Flute in a silly direction, but there were definite moments where a simpler line reading would have been funnier.


There are funny moments in the first episode, but they're so swamped by a tsunami of jokes that don't land that the overall effect is that we barely laugh. Ineffective jokes are the most laborious and wordy, going overboard to the point that whatever point the writers were trying to get across became decidedly unfunny. It's a problem we've seen in adult animation dating back at least to the early days of Family Guy, but it seems to be a trap that many animation creators fall into.


We'd rather have fewer jokes and more stories of how Flute tries to reconnect with a family who isn't sure they want him back in their lives. If the writers realize that, they might have a good show on their hands.

A Minecraft Movie 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

 If you were to throw a bucket in Hollywood today, you could easily find a dozen video game adaptations in development, either as TV series or movies. They're all vying for the same thing: critical acclaim, huge box office revenue, or a sudden surge in streaming subscribers thanks to established fandoms. But it's a long shot: Will they become a "Borderlands" movie flop or a "Last of Us" hit? Next month, Legendary Entertainment, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Microsoft are going for box office gold with a different kind of game-to-movie adaptation: "A Minecraft Movie."

The Acolyte 2024 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

 There are three main types of Star Wars stories. There's the kind where you write whatever you want and call it Star Wars, common in the many novels published in the 1990s. There's the kind where you recycle existing Star Wars stories and make them familiar; this has been the primary way of doing things at Disney. But finally, there are the stories that enthusiastically use Star Wars as a setting to create something new. There have been several novels that fit that profile, as did the first season of Andor, and now, four episodes in, it looks like the new Star Wars series The Acolyte, set a century before the movies, also fits the bill. in that category. . The Acolyte centers on a pair of twins, Osha and Mae (both played by Amandla Stenberg). The girls were raised by an unaffiliated coven of Force users, but despite living outside the Republic, the Jedi, including Carrie-Ann Moss's Indara, stuck their noses into these women's affairs, leading to the disaster. As a resu...
