Welcome to my weird world!
While watching this flick, I was completely unaware of the so-called controversy, of Ben Platt being too old for the role of a high-schooler and one of the producers of the show being Ben's father and therefore inciting nepotism. And I find those concepts quite ridiculous. Rebel Wilson was in her early thirties, older than... Continue Reading →
Ryan Reynolds had to grow on me, but he did. And considering the late 2010s seemed to be his big A-list breakthrough, I'm grateful I just reached the age where I became interested in what he generally works with. Reynolds tends to play characters with hilarious aplomb as he survives and laughs his way through... Continue Reading →
This movie had large shoes to fill, and it seemed to know that and not know that at the same time, trying to be big but not knowing what to be big for. A sequel to the classic Space Jam has been brainstormed for decades now. A standalone spy sequel led instead to Looney Tunes:... Continue Reading →
In my review of the last Hitman's Bodyguard, I pointed out how I didn't like Salma Hayek's character as the hitman's imprisoned wife. Well, that apple's now on its head. ... Yeah, I need to come up with better comparisons. Here, she's out of prison and alongside the blokes, showing just how much she can... Continue Reading →
In anticipation for the sequel I'm going to see soon, I wanted to bring up The Hitman's Bodyguard, which I would describe as the best example of a "hamburger movie". What is that? Well, like a hamburger, it is familiar, defaultly ungourmet, and often messy when trying to eat it, but tasty, filling, and what... Continue Reading →
Before sitting down to type this review, and type this first sentence, I stopped to wonder if the same feelings I had for the first Peter Rabbit would end up like this one. I gave the first movie a negative grade too, but then upgraded it after thinking about how it was very funny. Will... Continue Reading →
In preparation for the upcoming sequel, this is based off of my original review when I first saw Peter Rabbit and how I now see it after I first found it kind of amusing but not good enough to recommend. James Corden plays Peter, a rabbit third, a rascal and rebel first and second. He's... Continue Reading →
There was Maleficent, then Suicide Squad, then Venom, then Joker, now Cruella! Apologies if I missed any, but I have to say villain stories are now trending, and Cruella is a terrific example of why we should be excited for that. When we're kids, we understand our heroes. When we're adults, we also understand our... 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 →
Merry Christmas, or Happy Holidays. Whichever works. For those who didn't do their homework, such as me, this is not only a lesbian romance movie set on Christmas; it's apparently the first of its type because every actor who plays someone who's LGBTQ in this movie is LGBTQ in real life. Welcome additional touch there.... Continue Reading →
