Welcome to my weird world!
I beg that you see the first Quiet Place before this movie if you haven't already, which is the logical thing to do, after all. The only thing stupider would be a mariachi band in the middle of the emergency shutdown these characters are enduring, that's about 50 times worse than ours. The first Quiet... Continue Reading →
Second-chance movies are suspenseful. Although I’m aware he has an arsenal of movies he has directed, including a different zombie one, this is only the second movie I’ve seen from director Zack Snyder. I watched his Batman v. Superman blockbuster back in 2016, with high expectations from its ad campaign, and even if I wasn’t... Continue Reading →
Steven Spielberg may have invented the definition of the "chewing gum" movie. You watch it, and it sticks to your shoe. That might be a very strange way of putting it, but there have been movies over the years I have at first just enjoyed or really admired but realized over time how much better... Continue Reading →
Wow. It’s been a while since I’ve watched a new movie that’s just plain fun. And I guess I should’ve expected plain fun if this out-of-nowhere film is from the same people behind Into The Spiderverse and The Lego Movie. This is a Sony Pictures Animation movie, but The Lego Movie was a Warner Bros.... Continue Reading →
I did a bit of homework before going into Artemis Fowl. Apparently this production has been in development hell for almost two decades. The author Eoin Colfer once joked the movie would be released two years after his death. Laurence Guterman (the director of Cats & Dogs and Son of the Mask) was once signed... Continue Reading →
It seems like during this pandemic, we’ve gotten so many war movies that have taken over the priority of advertisers, ever since superheroes (well, somewhat) took a back seat as they wait out the pandemic. I watched Without Remorse, and the time went by quickly, and I wouldn’t mind if I had to watch it... Continue Reading →
Believe it or not, when I think of Mortal Kombat, I think of SpongeBob. When I had baby teeth, Nickelodeon produced more than one fighting-type game in Bikini Bottom's universe that is undeniably inspired from MK's algorithm. So even though I've never technically played a game with Mortal Kombat in the title, I've held the... Continue Reading →
Apologies for the wait. When I finished this movie, I started writing this review, and I realized it just doesn't feel right not knowing the full context, so I played catch-up and watched the first two Godzilla movies. I was just too curious and felt this movie thrived on the backstories I'd neglected to see.... Continue Reading →
Do I love thee? Do I love thee not? Everyone is bowing down to Raya in a story that definitely wouldn't have worked had this chosen to be the next Disney-princess-musical-adventure. And me not giving this a positive grade...it feels kind of wrong doing that. It gets so much right. If it had some polishes... Continue Reading →
This...was...incredible. I'm really happy to be able to post Onward after it's been out for a year now, the time right before everything shut down. I was stressed, but not seeing Onward when it was out has to be the stupidest thing I'd done in 2020. I mean, I knew I'd see it eventually. But... Continue Reading →
