📽️ Encino Man (1992)
Of course, after watching Son in Law, I had to watch Encino Man. Honestly, though, it was a hard watch. Pauly Shore was hilarious in his normal stupid way, but other than that the movie wasn’t super great. Most of it aside from Pauly Shore wasn’t very funny, and I just wasn’t a huge fan. This movie did, however, expand my vocabulary. I don’t know if they were words from the 90s or just words Pauly Shore made up, but there were definitely some new ones to me. Also, I enjoyed seeing young Sean Astin; I didn’t know he was in this when I chose it. Brendan Fraser’s part was okay, but I thought it was a little overdone at some points. Overall, this movie wasn’t horrible, but it’s not going to be on my favorites list either.
Sex/nudity: 3/10 (kissing, some sexual references, several very clear references and gestures to female breasts)
Language: 2/10 (not horrible in this department, some cursing, a lot of slang that didn’t make a whole lot of sense)
Violence: 2/10 (a couple fights with some blood shown)
Overall rating: 5/10

give spooky tuesday a listen on apple podcasts, spotify, iheart radio, or stitcher

The Mummy (1999)
Smoking: SuckerPunch
Another favorite! Expect to see the trilogy appearing in the next episodes of Reefer – Reelz – N – Reviews! Something else that I know practically word for word
Open with a MAJOR flash back. We have the wonderful Arnold Vosloo who’s forbidden love with Patricia Velasquez. Leaving them to, do what they usually do, try to raise them from the dead so they can be together. Typically Mummy stuff 😂
How much would that suck... to be eaten AND buried alive? Like no thanks!
Then, the beautiful, the rugged, the omg I wanna ride his face, Brendan Fraser enters a war zone. The year 1923. Don’t forget about the also, wanna ride him, Oded Fehr 🤤 this cast man… panty droppers. All of ‘em.
Then we have my previous life, the ever-clumsy Evelyn Carnahan. Played by the gorgeous Rachel Weisz. I couldn’t imagine having to fix all of those book shelves. Like that just sounds like the biggest pain in the butt. “A bit of a mess in the library,” my ass.
BF is such a great actor. The way you can see him realize who Jonathan is before he punches him. I should do a few more of his movies on here. I really like Monkey Bone, what a trip.
Who uses the word “Flimflam” ☠️ flimflam 😂 I feel like I should use it more.
Omid Djalili shouldn’t have gone off on his own. One of the movie laws, never go off alone. Doesn’t help that he’s greedy. Deserves his fate. Stinking bugs!
I know I said that I was Evy in a past life, when JH hits that rock and the sarcophagus falls from the ceiling. That, is something that would happen to me 😂 “Either he’s someone of great importance, or he did something very naughty.”
Of course, BF has to get all extra with some dynamite. I mean it works, but so extra.
I feel bad for the guys who took the jars. I mean that’s one hell of a way to go. Get sucked into AV to help him regenerate doesn’t seem like a way I’d want to go…
🤔 Maybe the reason I have so many cats is because I wanna be safe from the mummy 🤣
I love how JH can get the crazed mob back into a calm mob chanting Imhotep so he doesn’t get attacked when he goes to get the car. RW just pokes a guy in his eye to get him off the car 😂
“I love the whole sand wall trick. Beautiful. Bastard.” I have to say that even though Kevin J O’Connor flips into working for the bad guy, he cracks me up the most. “Think of my children.” BF – you don’t have any Children.” “Some day I might.” I mean gold!
Time for Spicy Garlic Pickles 🤤 and some shrimp chips!
You know… a lot of people burned in this movie. Like full body.
I love how they just happen to get the camels that KO puts his treasure on. Like of course that happened. Movie logic right. He deserved how he died, just saying.
Well, that’s it for this episode. Toke on.
-RRR

@animate-mush We were talking the other day about Erick Avari, in passing, and it was too wide of the topic but I had wanted to complain that of all the genre franchises he’s done he’d never done any Star Trek. I should have said it, because you could probably have corrected me. Tonight on our Enterprise rewatch Mom and I saw Terra Nova, s1e05, in which he plays - wait for it- the chief of a lost human colony.

It definitely speaks to growing up in the 90s when I see Erick Avari in a small role and exclaim, “it’s the NO WHEEZING THE JUICE guy!”

The Master of Disguise (2002)
In today's review, I find it pretty easy to get into character, as I attempt a #positive review of the 2002 family-friendly feature film, The Master of Disguise

To be an actor, you have to embody many characters, take on their looks, mannerisms, and even the way that they speak and channel that into the performance, you must study your character down to the letter. Some people can find this skill as natural as breathing, and when you can watch. In 2002, a comedian took that artistry to combat a plot of epic proportions in The Master of Disguise.
