The Whale

“The Whale” is a 2022 drama based on the play with the same name, it stars Brendan Fraser (George of the Jungle), Sadie Sink (Stranger Things), Ty Simpkins (Insidious), and Hong Chau (The Menu).

“The Whale” is about 600-pound recluse who tries to reconcile his relationship with his estranged teenage daughter before he dies from congestive heart failure.

I’ve been wanting to see this since it was first announced. I like Sadie Sink, I think she’s a great actress and I love seeing Brendan Fraser having a big comeback after being black balled by Hollywood for all those years. Unfortunately, it didn’t come to a theater near me, but it’s available at Redbox now. The acting is very solid from both Fraser and Sink. The movie is a let down however. The movie is two hours and it feels every bit of that. The story is very slow, the entire movie is set in Fraser’s apartment. Which makes sense, he a 600 pound recluse, but nothing really happens. Even the trying to reconcile his relationship with his daughter doesn’t really go anywhere. I get where the writer is paralleling this story with Moby Dick, but it just falls flat. I was expecting a lot more from this film. I give it a 6/10.

Fear Street Part 2: 1978

‘Fear Street Part 2: 1978’ is the second instalment of the Fear Street horror series, it stars Sadie Sink (Stranger Things), Emily Rudd (Dynasty), Ryan Simpkins (A Single Man), McCabe Slye (Destroyer), Ted Sutherland (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit), and Drew Scheid (Words on Bathroom Walls).

The year is 1978, it’s summer time at camp Nightwing, all is fun and games until the witch posses one of the camp consolers. Now it’s a fight for survival as an axe wielding maniac wrecks havoc in camp Nightwing.

This one picks up directly from where the first one left off, and answers questions that we had from the first one. Who is C. Berman, what is her relationship with Sherriff Goode, and what do they have to do with the witch? This one answers those questions, this one is their story. This one is great, it has all the feels of a 80’s slasher movie, Friday the 13th vibes, an axe wielding maniac is running around killing campers. How can it not be good right? The thing stopping this movie though is it’s dark scenes, a lot of the movie takes place at night or in a cave, so it’s really hard to tell what’s going on. I always hate when movies do that, what’s the point of adding dark scenes if you can’t tell what’s going on? Other than that it’s another solid movie, and it sets up for the third one ‘Fear Street Part 3: 1666’ where we get to see the witch’s story. I can’t wait to check it out, I give this one a 7/10.
