Cruella (2021)—Review
Outside of their Alice in Wonderland (2010/2016), Maleficent (2014/2019), and Dumbo (2019) films, I have thoroughly enjoyed Disney’s recent live action treatments of their classic catalogue. One of my all time favorite IPs in the Disney vault is One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961), and I have unironically loved the many 101 television series and …
A Quiet Place Part II (2021)—Review
One of my favorite films of 2018 was John Krasinski’s theatrical directorial debut, A Quiet Place. With fantastic characters, an incredible premise, and some of the most suspenseful sound design ever presented in film, A Quiet Place blew audiences away and was a true “must see in a theater” event. When A Quiet Place Part …
Mortal Kombat (2021)—Review
Note: Slight Spoilers involving what doesn’t happen in the film. I’m just going to get to the point: video game movies are notoriously known for their laughably horrendous quality. The video game movies that have been great, in my opinion, are 2019’s Pokémon’s Detective Pikachu and 2020’s Sonic the Hedgehog, with other recent films such …
Nobody—Review
One of the best action franchises out there right now is Lionsgate’s John Wick (2014- ), and its writer, Derek Kolstad is a big part of that as he is the current king of writing action—his episodes of Marvel and Disney’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021) are just further proof of this. One …
Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)—Review
I love kaiju films. From the very first King Kong (1933) to the incredible reign of Toho films, beginning with Godzilla (1954), to our new age of films such as Peter Jackson’s King Kong (2005), Pacific Rim (2013), and Shin Godzilla (2016). Trying to capture Disney’s success with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, all of the …
Zack Snyder’s Justice League—Review
As a huge comic book fan, one of the largest disappointments in cinema over the recent years has been Zack Snyder’s Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) and Justice League (2017). That said, the 2017 Justice League film has had an asterisk for the way the film was treated during production. Throughout the entire …
Judas and the Black Messiah (2021)—Review
Last year, 2020, was a year full of civil unrest due to the mistreatment of the Black Community by members of law enforcement. This is a problem that has perpetuated throughout the entirety of America’s history, and among the many important instances throughout that history, one of the largest periods of this unrest occurred during …
WandaVision (2021)—Series Review
I am a comic book fanatic and have been ever since I first sat down and watched the ’90s Spider-Man and X-Men cartoons. Ever since Iron Man (2008), Marvel has been creating this vast world that both comic book lovers like myself and people who see the colorful costumes and roll their eyes have fallen …
Promising Young Woman (2020)—Emerald Fennell’s Directorial Debut Is A Dark Thrill Ride Of Revenge
One of the films that I’ve been waiting to see since I saw its initial trailer is Promising Young Woman. From that first trailer, I knew that this film would be a fun ride from beginning to end, and I am happy to say my intuition was correct. Emerald Fennell, who has previously only acted …
Sweet Home (Season 1)—Netflix’s Live Action Take On Korean Webtoon Promises A Strong New Franchise
I have always been a fan of foreign cinema and television, particularly properties from Japan and France. However, it wasn’t until I sat down to watch the high-octane and dramatic zombie thriller Train to Busan (2016) that Korean properties really grabbed my attention and instantly captivated me. A big appeal to Korean films and shows …
