Welcome to my weird world!
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 →
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 →
Wow, it's been a long time, T & J. Just feels like yesterday when my sister and I were in Blockbuster trying to agree on a movie to take home for the night and we were fighting more adamantly than you guys because we couldn't agree on a single one, so I thought your movie,... Continue Reading →
My first movie review of a movie of the new year. Not a bad start to the year where we try to heal. Damson Idris plays Lieutenant Thomas Harp, a drone pilot for the U.S. military in 2036. Every movie set in the future makes guesses about what will be our priorities in technology and... Continue Reading →
