Adam Sandler’s western comedy The Ridiculous 6 was in development at several major studios before becoming the first film in the comedian’s deal to make straight-to-Netflix features. Though most recent Sandler comedies might have benefited from a platform less intent on disguising glorified vacation videos as big-screen experiences, it almost qualifies as a shame that Ridiculous can only be seen on a smaller scale. While director Frank Coraci is a long-term practitioner of the Happy Madison house style (most productively with The Wedding Singer; less so with the likes of Blended), Ridiculous 6 is one of the most cinematic-looking Sandler comedies ever. Perhaps aided by fellow Happy Madison veteran Dean Semler (the cinematographer who shot The Road Warrior, City Slickers, and Dances With Wolves, in addition to Click), there are a number of scenes and even shots in Ridiculous 6 that are better-lit than large swaths of the Sandler filmography.
TNS: "Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare takes its Twisted Childhood concept extremely seriously, for better and for worse."
Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz try hard in Netflix’s bang-average spy comedy Back in Action.
The rebooted DC Universe kicks off with Creature Commandos on HBO/Max. Written by James Gunn, the series has many of the elements that made his Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad movies successful – an interesting team of misfits, strong comedy, stylish action, and a surprising amount of heart. However, Gunn also included many references and influences from nearly every decade of comic book history. RPadTV host Raymond Padilla is joined by videogame journalist Paul Semel to discuss, dissect, and review Creature Commandos.
Well, one Sandler flop down and three more to go for Netflix.
Let's be honest, "Adam Sandler’s..." anything nowadays is hardly worth a small tub of popcorn.
What a piece of garbage.
