I honestly did not expect to find this movie that enjoyable. I kind of disliked the first Boss Baby just cause the humor fell flat for me in a lot of places and it was mostly aimed at a very young audience, (Which is fine, nothing wrong with that). But Family Business is genuinely funny, like I admit it's not a comedic masterpiece or anything, but I feel like this movie fully commits to what it is and it chooses to have fun with it anyway. The first movie kind of attempted this but it didn't go all the way in it's execution. This movie is pretty much just non stop chaos amongst the screen, does any of it make sense? No of course not, but it acknowledges this and uses it to it's advantage. I will always appreciate the cartoon that knows that it's a cartoon and doesn't attempt to pull at your heart strings but rather provide a few laughs for ya, and Family Business did just that.

I recently bought the Nathan Drake Collection and just completed Drake's Fortune. I am so glad to say that I Loved nearly every aspect of this game. First off I was shocked to discover this game came out in 2007 because it feels like I'm playing a modern day videogame with how smooth the gameplay and overall mechanics are. This is definitely up there with Half-Life 2 in the sense that it was way ahead of it's time upon release. The plot is good and fairly simple and you've seen it before most likely, but the highlight is the characters that accompany it. Nathan Drake is a legend of a gaming protagonist, you don't even have had to of played any of the Uncharted games and you know the name at very least. The chemistry between Nathan, Elena, and Sully is nothing short but brilliant. As for the Villains they are serviceable. They aren't mesmerizing antagonists but they aren't totally 1 dimensional either, they do their job in being main threats for our characters to overcome which is totally fine with me. So all in all, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is such a great game that leaves you with the same feeling as a fun summer blockbuster. This is only my first introduction into the Uncharted series and I can't wait to see what the next three installments have in store!
When I first saw El Camino, I couldn't help but feel slightly underwhelmed after seeing it. I knew I still enjoyed it but I was expecting much much more then what the movie laid out. But after some thinking and a few rewatches I noticed my mistake, I was pretty much expecting another Breaking Bad. I was expecting the same thrills and high octane action that Breaking Bad provided, and while yes you still get action and thrills it's a much more contained movie then that. It's pretty much it's own character study of Jesse Pinkman. And that's perfectly fine, It's great actually! El Camino taught me that It's better to always keep an open mind when seeing movies cause they won't always be the same as their counterparts. And in the end I'm glad I didn't get another Breaking Bad, otherwise this movie would 1) have no reason to exist and 2) It wouldn't be special.
