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).

They/Them OK/G
New Peacock film wherein LGBT teens attend a conversion
camp, although they’re informed in the beginning it’s not a typical conversion
camp. Uh-huh. Apparently conversion therapy still exists in
parts of the world. Back in the Nineties
when it was still largely unacceptable to be gay, my parents even suggested a
group consisting of other individuals looking to “change their ways.” I refused.
Anyway, this film is basically But
I’m a Cheerleader with a body count.
Unfortunately, it is more But I’m
a Cheerleader than Sleepaway Camp,
or even Friday the 13th
(Kevin Bacon does appear here, after all), which wouldn’t have been so bad if I
didn’t expect more of a Sleepaway Camp. After a rather standard slasher kill in the
beginning (that doesn’t mean ineffective though), there isn’t another kill for
quite a while and then not another one a bit after that. It does give us ample time to get to know the
majority of characters, yes, but many of the kills weren’t that impressive and
the killer’s identity was way too obvious.
Plus, it felt like there should’ve been more to it by the time it was
over. Still, it was decent for a slasher
made in 2022 that is meant to be inclusive, at least character-wise. I think the ultimate message indicates how
much damage these conversion therapy organizations cause (needless to say). 8/5/2022
Bonus review:
Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous (Season Five) EH
Allegedly the last season of this Netflix spinoff series and
I hope they’re right! This definitely
far outstayed its welcome. I think it
should’ve ended after the first season, although I did like season three as
well, so maybe after that. I only had a
teensy bit of fun in these 12 episodes all roughly 24-minutes (basically it’s
almost 5 hours wasted). It got way too
political. I couldn’t wait for it to be
over from the very beginning, but since I made it this far I couldn’t not finish. I really have no more to say other than I
didn’t enjoy this season at all (others like me will watch it anyway, if they
haven’t already, and maybe they’ll like it better than I did). I didn’t like the last Jurassic World movie either (Dominion;
you can read my review for it here---https://vampireclown82.blogspot.com/2022/06/jurassic-world-dominion.html),
so I think this franchise is done for me, as it should be for everyone else
(like I said, I hope they really mean this is the end, for both the TV series
and films). 7/25/2022
