Sausage Party

Hello, beautiful people, the summer block buster season coming to a close, I wanted to get a few more movies in before it ends. This film always stood out when the pre-movie commercials played. Lets find out if it was worth my money, or should I have just bought a sausage to eat instead....

Sausage Party- This film takes the premise of "Toy Story", but with food, plus every other household product someone can find in a supermarket. How food and other products interact in the world when no one is looking. The same band of people that have brought some really funny movies such, "Pineapple Express", "This is the End", and "Super Bad". Now there are here lending their voices in a strictly adult cartoon.




Plot- Food and other daily products believe they are here for the "gods" or people to take them away to the great beyond (outside of the store). Frank, a sausage, is excited because its the 4th of July, and him and his buddies will be chosen by the gods. Instead, the truth of supermarket products' fate is revealed, it is up to Frank and his friends to expose the truth.


Ok, no way am I a prude in any shape or form, but this movie, even got to me at times. The shock value was for the laugh, but the jokes came off more like, "Did, they really just go there?" The characters were NOT likeable at all. It was a bunch of hotdogs, not sausages, they only call them sausages so the title of the film works... They are freaking hotdogs! Their whole purpose is get into the buns, which are all girls....did I mention these vagina looking things all have breasts too? Yeah... It was just one sexually pun after the next...


Again, I curse a lot, when I tell a joke or want to be funny, but the way these characters spoke reminded me of children getting a chance to curse when the adults are gone. Here's an example, "Hey, Frank, how the fuck are you? You fuck that fucking bun yet or what? You shithead!" There is a way to blend in foul language to make it funny. If this was a real person, you would probably say to them,"Hey, relax guy. Take it down a notch." I really don't remember a time I laughed hard other than a few chuckles. Plus, there is a food ORGY at the end of the movie... no, that's not a typo. An actual food orgy!

Final Verdict- 2/10, waste of time. Shock value wants to be funny, but went too far. Watch this drunk on Netflix if you're really bored. Drink every time they say the word "fuck", and you will be dead!


More reviews to come, for now, This is Phil Goes to the Movies, so you don't have to!

Suicide Squad

It has been many weeks since I have reviewed anything in theaters; because, there was nothing worth spending money to see, and I work hard for the cash.... that's why I review these films to save your money as well. So many block buster flops this past July, which I knew by the trailers those movies would be trash, but finally after waiting since last November this film as come out. Was it worth the wait, or did I want to commit suicide after watching it? Lets dive in:

Suicide Squad- Originally titled, Task Force X in DC comics printed in 1987 with a different cast of villains. When the new 52 came along in 2011, the comic was renamed Suicide Squad with most of the popular DC villains known today. It was an original concept to force meta-human villains to do impossible missions for the side of good. The comics really gave a better back ground to each character, making them far more than just the two-bit crooks they were in other titles.




Plot- Government official Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), wants to put together a team of meta-humans, she feels she can control to due her very bidding to service her country. The purpose of this is in case there is an evil Superman, Miss Waller will have her counter super team. One of the members of the team goes rogue, and begins their attempt to destroy the world. The squad is sent to stop this villain, even if they want to or not.


Here is the question, how do you have character development for each of the members of the team, and still have a well paced movie? "Suicide Squad" does this beautifully! Many films should take notes. Each character had a story to tell, and yes, the flash backs were small, but they got to the point and were heart felt. You can see each one of these villains paid in more ways for their crimes. The emotions were there, when some of the characters wanted to atone for their mistakes. They appeared as humans, with dreams of their own.... not that asshole you want Batman to stomp out. You could relate to them, hell, before the movie is over you're rooting for them! That's THE biggest reason why this film works so well. Not to mention the casting was so so so well done.


Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Deadshot (Will Smith), and Joker (Jared Leto) steal the show every scene they were in, and the big question loomed over the film's head from start to finish. Was Jared Leto a better joker than Heath Ledger? Honestly, it doesn't matter because the Joker was reinvented every time he went against Batman. He is that deranged of a character! Yes, Jared Leto played an excellent Joker.




Final Verdict- 9/10, finally, a fantastic film for the summer. Good see this movie! The acting and action scenes are so well done.


A few more movie I might have to see before the summer block buster season comes to a close. Until then this is Phil Goes to the Movies, so you don't have to!
