[Video] What We Watched: Fun Clips from the Past Week – January 11 – 17

by Tori Ann
written by Tori Ann

While we’re all staying at home, a lot of us are watching things online. With the plethora of videos available, and more being created every day, it’s an enjoyable way to pass the time and bring a little fun into our lives. Some of these may be brand new, some may be older, but here are a few of the videos I enjoyed this week.

The internet was recently agog of the news that Viennetta ice cream cakes will be made available again in the coming year. It was apparently something before my time, but who doesn’t love ice cream cake?

https://youtu.be/BE9wVHjKWM8

Boston Dynamics recently filmed a video of its robots all dancing together, and I have to say that it is just delightful!

Engineers on YouTube certainly has found a niche of recreating items from our favorite movies, and this is no exception. It might have been thought that Hawkeye’s rotating quiver that allows him to select the trick arrow he uses was pure fiction, but JLaservideo proves that it isn’t, building his bow, quiver and arrows, and testing them out for our enjoyment!

If you could make the ultimate dish for your friend, what would you make and how expensive would it be? In a new series on the Watcher YouTube channel, Stephen Lim makes the ultimate macaroni and cheese dish for his friend Shane, costing approximately $300! While you might not be able to make something exactly like that yourself, you may pick up a tip or two for making your next batch of mac & cheese just a little bit better.

What does the world’s largest firework look like? Well, as you can see in the video below, it sets off quite a display. The 2,800 pound firework was set off last February over Steamboat Springs, Colorado, and it was a sight to behold, lighting up the mountain in bright red light and a sizeable blast. The pyrotechnic itself was nearly five feet in diameter, with just the shell being over 7 inches thick!

Queen’s Gambit was one the hit Netflix shows from the end of last year, and this behind-the-scenes video shows the making of the series, from the idea to make this series, and through filming.

On the subject of Netflix, the streaming service recently announced that it would be releasing a new original movie every week of 2021. As you can see in the video below, some are sequels to previous Netflix movies, but others are all-new, and feature some of your favorite stars like Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot, Ryan Reynolds, Melisaa McCarthy, Halle Berry, and more!

TikTok has become a hub of silliness, fun, and creativity, and thanks to the app’s Duet feature, 2021 has been dubbed “the year of the sea shanty”. It all started with a Scottish singer posting a video of himself singing the sea shanty “Wellerman”, and has gone viral, spawning many versions, as well as users turning popular songs into sea shanties.

written by Tori Ann

With the current global health crisis, a lot of things have changed. That certainly has included how we consume new media. The film industry has had to quickly adapt to the fact that movie theaters are closed and make decisions about if they should send movies straight to digital on-demand, delay openings, or postpone indefinitely.

Obviously all of these dates are tentative, but we will do our best to keep you updated as things change!

One of the first movies to delays its opening was the James Bond film No Time To Die. Originally due out this April, the final Bond film starring Daniel Craig will now debut April 2, 2021.

A Quiet Place 2 was another film to quickly delay opening in theaters. The John Krasinski-directed movie will now come out in April 23, 2021.

Reptile’s Random Review: ‘Jumanji: The Next Level’

by Reptile
written by Reptile

Jumanji the Next Level

Welcome back to Reptile’s Random Reviews. After being silent for a couple of weeks, I’m baaaaack and so is “Jumanji” with ‘Jumanji: Next Level.’ Maybe I can hit the next level in this review.

As we recall, the original Jumanji (1995) starred Robin Williams and was pretty popular. In 2017, Columbia Pictures revisited this film and moviegoers approved to the tune of $962 million worldwide. A nice-sized piece of cheese. It starred Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, and Nick Jonas. For someone who started out as singer in a boy band, Nick turned out to be a pretty good actor.

On December 13th, 2019 (Friday the 13th, by the way), Columbia Pictures dipped into the pot again and released ‘Jumanji: The Next Level.‘ And again moviegoers responded with $$$ to the tune of $60.1 million dollars domestically in its opening weekend, beating ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle‘ by over $8 million dollars. A fair amount of cheese, I would say.

On Christmas day, I took the family to see this film and was excited to see the return of the original cast. They also upped the game by adding Awkwafina, Danny DeVito, and Danny Glover. DeVito playing Spencer’s grandfather who is living with Spencer’s family while recovering from hip surgery. Danny Glover plays DeVito’s best friend and former business partner, while Awkwafina (actress/rapper) appears as a character within the Jumanji game.

Rolling in on the sequel of an already successful film franchise, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Historically, sequels are often made to be nothing more than money sponges; only existing so Hollywood can reach further into our pockets. This time, it wasn’t the case.

‘The Next Level‘ starts with the team meeting up for the holidays. At this point, they are out of high school and have gone their separate ways. When Spencer is a no-show, the group compares notes. Unable to reach Spencer, they go to his house to find out why he has been silent, only to find him missing. A quick look in the basement reveals he has cobbled together the remains of the old Jumanji game console and it is running. Needless to say, the gang ends up back in the game with the addition of Grandpa and his best friend who are clueless on how everything works. This leads to the storyline of finding Spencer and completing a new level of the game.

I enjoyed the movie, even though a lot of it was predictable and it revisited a lot of the previous humor with new situations. But my family, as well as the rest of the theater, laughed through most of it. Dwayne Johnson was on-point with his typical Dwayne Johnson way of doing things, while Jack Black convincingly swapped between personalities, and Karen Gillan reprised her kick-ass character of Ruby Roundhouse. Kevin Hart, as funny as ever, played a couple of the characters and left me laughing, while the rest of the crew did a enjoyable job with their roles.

I give ‘Jumanji: The Next Level‘ 4 out of 5 Stars and really think if you are a fan, you should give it a look.

PopCultHQ Rating - 4 Stars

[Trailer] It’s Anthropomorphic Fun w/ The Rock! First Look at Dwayne Johnson’s RAMPAGE

by Jason Bennett
written by Jason Bennett

When word first dropped that the 80s classic video arcade game “Rampage” was getting the live-action treatment, Warner Bros. Studios received a huge vote of confidence from fan response. When Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson‘s named was attached to the project, that just made the film all the more interesting. Now there is finally an official trailer

Directed by Brad Peyton (San Andreas), the film shows a touching story of a man befriending an ape. Unfortunately, it seems that Johnson’s primate pal falls victim to an “experiment gone wrong” (a classic go-to) and it’s not the only affected creature.

When the world wants to destroy this monster, it’ll take one man’s compassion for his friend to save the animal’s life. Cue The Rock’s intro music!

Primatologist Davis Okoye (Johnson), a man who keeps people at a distance, shares an unshakable bond with George, the extraordinarily intelligent, silverback gorilla who has been in his care since birth. But a rogue genetic experiment gone awry mutates this gentle ape into a raging creature of enormous size. To make matters worse, it’s soon discovered there are other similarly altered animals. As these newly created alpha predators tear across North America, destroying everything in their path, Okoye teams with a discredited genetic engineer to secure an antidote, fighting his way through an ever-changing battlefield, not only to halt a global catastrophe but to save the fearsome creature that was once his friend.

“Rampage” also stars Oscar nominee Naomie Harris (“Moonlight”), Malin Akerman (TV’s “Billions”), Jake Lacy (TV’s “Girls”), Joe Manganiello (TV’s “True Blood”) and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (TV’s “The Walking Dead”); as well as P.J. Byrne (“The Wolf of Wall Street”), Marley Shelton (“Solace”), Breanne Hill (“San Andreas”), Jack Quaid (“The Hunger Games: Catching Fire”), and Matt Gerald (TV’s “Daredevil”).
