In case you haven’t seen the intro from my entry dated
1/26/19 (it’s in my archives whenever you want to read it), I’m no longer going
to review every single movie I see. I’m
going to review one, with the occasional bonus, and just give ratings for the
rest from now on (unless I decide to pick it up again in the future). You can always ask me why I gave the ratings
for the films without reviews though (via comments or the e-mail addresses
under the ‘About Me’ section).

Ron’s Gone Wrong G
Modern animation dealing with modern technology. This animation isn’t a Disney film though,
nor a Netflix one (although it is currently available on Disney+). The technology involved is a bubble-bot, a
cylindrical-shaped device that travels alongside its owner (containing any and
all information concerning them). One
middle school kid receives a defective bot (Ron) that basically needs to be
taught like a human. And, like all
technology, the other bots that aren’t “defective” can be just as detrimental
as advantageous. This movie wasn’t
great, and it did take a bit for me to warm up to it, but it was cute (Ron is
cute too) and funny (I did laugh out loud sometimes) enough to recommend for
the entire family. 12/17/2021
Bonus review:
Day of the Dead (Season
One) OK
George A. Romero’s Day
of the Dead isn’t my favorite of the series, but I do like it,
somewhat. His preceding Night and Dawn films are infinitely better.
This 10-episode series available on the SYFY channel is merely only
based on Romero’s film and bears no relation to it whatsoever (I mean, yeah,
there is a reference to it during the last episode, titled said reference, and
one zombie gradually becomes “docile”).
It involves a town in Pennsylvania overrun with the undead and the
townsfolk must do whatever possible in order to survive. Typical zombie fare, no? Did we really need another zombie series or
movie, especially in these post-Walking
Dead times? Absolutely not (I never
even finished that show, as far as I made it).
Since it’s hard to be original anymore, in any genre or subgenre, I’m
willing to give anything modern a chance if it manages to be entertaining. This series was just okay, barely; I mean, it
has its moments and started off fine, but it really doesn’t stand apart from
most of the other undead entertainment out there. If you do decide to watch, all ten episodes
are now available to binge (all roughly around the 40-minute mark without the
ads). I mean, ‘just okay’ is a better
analysis than many other zombie flicks/shows that don’t even come close to
okay, no? I still think you can spend
your time with better options though, like George A. Romero’s series; yes, even
the three succeeding Day of the Dead
(hell, just watch the original Night
and Dawn!). As of now, I came across no plans for a
season two, but there very well could be (hell, it’s been proven more seasons
can occur even when a series does seem to end).
If so, I may continue (my OCD
would be the only thing forcing me to), but I really don’t care if they do or
not. 12/18/2021
