5 Word Movie Reviews- January

I’m bringing back my 5 word movie reviews for my own sanity. As before, if you want to add your own five word review, just leave it in a comment.

The Breakfast Club, 1985 (Emilio Estevez, Paul Gleason, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy) This is on my Top 10 List and we watched it with Gage for the first time. Grade A

Quintessential 80s attitude and style.

Flow , 2024. Grade A-

Silence also tells a story.

Hamnet, 2025 (Jessie Buckley, Paul Mescal, Emily Watson, Joe Alwyn) Grade A-

Shakespeare’s wife steals the show.

Eurovision, 2020 (Will Ferrell, Rachel McAdams, Dan Stevens, Pierce Brosnan, Graham Norton, Demi Lovato) Grade B

My latest ridiculous guilty pleasure.

Anaconda, 2025 (Paul Rudd, Jack Black, Steve Zahn, Thandiwe Newton, Daniela Melchior, Selton Mello) Grade C+

Provided much needed laughter & jumps.

Arthur the King, 2024 (Mark Wahlberg, Simu Liu, Juliet Rylance, Nathalie Emmanuel, Ali Suliman) Grade C+

True story of stupidest race.

History of the World, part 1, 1981 (Mel Brooks, Dom DeLuise, Madeline Kahn, Harvey Korman, Cloris Leachman, Gregory Hines, Sid Caesar, Shecky Green, Mary-Margaret Humes) Grade C

Parody sketches gave laughs & eyerolls.

    Enjoyed your reviews of the 5 movies you watched. The Breakfast Club is an excellent film with good performances by an outstanding cast .Flow is an exceptional animated film . I have not seen Hamnet or the remake of Anaconda. I read selections of the book years ago. I disagree with your C rating of Mel Brooks film, The History of the World Part one. I would give it a ranking of B . It has some great bits like Bea Arthur as a street vendor labeling Brooks as a BS artist not a philosopher. Also the Inquisition musical is terrific. Note: Mel Brooks is producing a sequel to Spaceballs. He is one of the producers and he will play Yogurt at 99 years old. The movie will be released in 2027.
