THIS COULD'VE BEEN AVOIDED! - The Ring


About a year ago, my friend recommended that I watch The Ring, the 2002 horror film from Gore Verbinski, because it was among her favorite movies. And while I didn't get into it as much as she did, I still think it's a great movie with a really inventive premise. It does the Koji Suzuki novel justice perfectly. However, watching this movie made me think about certain movies that could've ended in their first, like, ten minutes. What's this movie's case? Well, let's start.

The movie's premise involves a mystery revolving around a cursed video tape that kills you seven days after you watch it. You guys know the one, the one wit the well and Samara Morgan crawling out of the TV. It's a staple of horror iconography next to Ghostface from Scream. However, here's my takeaway: one of the two girls at the beginning seems aware that the Ring tape kills you after watching it...and waiting the seven days, of course. In fact, seven days before the film started, she had already watched it. But imagine for a second that she decided "...y'know what, nah, I don't wanna take chances" and threw the tape aside. If that went ahead and happened, then the film wouldn't have even happened. The people killed wouldn't have died, the investigation wouldn't have went down, and none of the characters would've met. And that is how this could've been avoided. I should point out that none of the stuff I pointed out is not a problem with the movie, it's just a little goof pointing out how this could've gone entirely differently. Bye!

THERE! I FIXED THE MOVIE! - Scoob!

  I may be the one person at the moment who doesn’t hate Scoob!. Is it a perfect movie? No, that’s why it’s on this blog. But I’ve seen way worse from Warner Animation Group, like The LEGO Ninjago Movie and Tom & Jerry.  It’s not as good as the other LEGO movies or Smallfoot, but I still enjoy it. It’s not even the worst of the Scooby-Doo! franchise, like some of the direct to video movies and especially the Velma series. But when push comes to shove, this movie still has problems. But what are those problems, and how can we fix them? Let’s proceed. I’m gonna start a little differently and start off by rectifying some of the casting. I’m gonna be fair and say that if done right, recasting the Scooby-Doo characters is not necessarily a bad idea. The key to it is finding actors who fit the role. And some of them, I will admit, fit the bill pretty okay. Amanda Seyfried as Daphne? I get it. Jason Isaacs as Dick Dastardly? That’s spot on. Hell, I have no notes for the character...

THERE! I FIXED THE MOVIE! - Ice Age: Collision Course

Image
  As of the day this post was released, it was over three years ago that it was announced that Blue Sky Studios would close its doors for good, despite technically living on through Annapurna Animation. And that was a heavy hit, because I grew up with a ton of their movies, such as Robots , Rio ,  The Peanuts Movie , which I still consider my favorite animated film of all time, and of course, Ice Age . However, this studio was not perfect, and I would call their biggest problem the fact that for the longest time, they couldn’t let go of Ice Age , and nowhere did those chickens come home to roost more than with the fifth instalment, Collision Course . I’ll be fair and say this isn’t the worst of the series, but it is the one where I wound up feeling the most franchise fatigue. But, as crazy as it may sound, there is actually a way this might work. How? Let's begin. First, we have to address the film's villains, the dino-birds. Out of all the Ice Age villains, these are the one...

THERE! I FIXED THE MOVIE! MINI - Jurassic World: Dominion

  To be honest, I wanted to like the Jurassic World sequels. The first one was a good amount of fun in spite of a weak script, and the trailers for both sequels seemed to be total slam-dunks. But they all fell apart when they came out, and nowhere is that more evident than in Dominion . Out of all the films in the Jurassic Park series, this can be described as the most disappointing, because this should've been such an easy home run for Universal. It promised to be a movie about killer dinosaurs roaming civilisation with the cast of the World movies meeting the cast of the Park movies. But while it wasn't Fallen Kingdom bad, it had some of the dumbest choices that should've been so easy to avoid. How? Well, let's go into it. Going in by the trailer, you'd think this movie would be about dinosaurs rampaging through the world and the heroes trying to contain them, right? Well, no! In fact, the dinosaurs are barely a threat in this. The main threat of the picture is....
