The Bad Guys (2022)
A fun and exciting romp!
With some impressive voice talents and stylistic animation that suits the Bad Guys is certainly a fun-time that takes the conventional heist/caper genre and spins it on its head.
I went in to this movie with very little expectations, however to my surprise I found it very enjoyable, funny and engaging.
The voice cast do a great job, with plenty of interaction and back-and-forth between the characters which made their dyanmic not only funny but also believable. With stand-outs being Sam Rockwell, Zazie Beetz, Awkwafina and Alex Borstein.
The art style too works well in this movie's favour, its easy on the eyes while offering symplistic designs that suits the fast-paced energy of the story. Character designs suit the voice actors portraying them and the character's personalities are be displayed in how their animated.
The actual heists are very well constructed, with each member of the Bad Guys playing their own part and working as a team, splitting the action to their own perspectives. With exciting scenes of planning the heists, improvising when things go wrong, each character playing their own part and scenes of genuinely nail-biting suspense.
Like most heist movies, this one has many twists, turns, double crosses and surprises that keep you on your toes. And while at times it was a tad predictable, the story was still funny, engaging and heartfelt.
While most animated movies these days can seem pandering or lackluster, The Bad Guys is not one of them. Ultimately this movie is a really fun time with clever writing, unique art style and an impressive voice cast it'll keep you entertained and guessing throughout its runtime, no matter your age.
Recommended.
IT (2017)
A decent, but slightly goofy scarefest
With all the horror films coming out it recent years, 2017's IT doesn't stand out as the scariest or indeed one of the best. However, it is still a fun, creepy ride that'll keep you engaged throughout its runtime with great performances from its young cast, as well as decent jumpscares and its unsettling atmosphere. The child actors in this movie do a wonderful job and are certainly destined for big things in the future, plus the performance of Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise will go down in horror history.
With great direction and acting, IT is a brilliant adaptation of Stephen King's novel and a great addition to any horror fan's library. Highly recommended 🤡🎈
The Abyss (1989)
A really good sci-fi adventure that yerns for an HD release!
Fans of The Abyss have been longing for it to be released on blu-ray, and rightfully so!
This is a brilliant character-driven story with top-notch sets and visual effects that takea you to the depths of the ocean and beyond!
The Abyss has a brilliant sense of adventure, wonder and suspense. With great performances from its leads and also not focusing too much on the aliens. Rather insteaf it takes its time to develop the characters so you understand their flaws and their personalities. The CGI too is incredible! With amazing fluid detail on water simulation and undersea spaceships. It just makes me wish this film would be released in HD and 4K so that we could appreciate the visual effects in all their glory in great detail!
All in all, this film is a must-watch for any sci-fi fan or fan of James Cameron. Just hope that the blu-ray release comes sooner rather than later 🤞
Highly recommended.
Candyman (1992)
Excellent and underappreciated
What sets Candyman apart from most other slashers is its brilliant slow pacing. This movie takes its time to build up the story and characters. It is also mostly psychological as you wonder what's real or not.
As well as that this movie contains some incredible themes of urban legends, saying how even after death murderers live on through people's memories. Often told as camp fire stories or Halloween tales. Jack the Ripper is one such example.
Unlike most horror movie monsters Candyman is a tragic character. While you don't sympathise with him you learn of his backstory and you feel sorry for him. He wants to live on as an urban legend because that's all he has left at this point. He was robbed of the love of his life and brutally murdered. An innocent man killed for no reason.
With some brilliant practical and makeup effects this is one horror film that'll live on through the memories of those who watched it. Candyman, Candyman, Candyman, Candyman....
The Darkest Minds (2018)
Hunger Games meets X-Men
While not the most original movie in years I feel like this film deserves more praise. Rather than being focused on action this movie is more narratively driven, letting us observe the world our characters now live in. Yes, in some places the story felt rushed but personally I found the characters and their arcs enjoyable and entertaining. The effects were very good and definitely added a lot for the film, and some of the performances were quite good. A decent movie that'll unfortunately never lead to a franchise but that's ok, because on its own it stands strong as a teen-driven coming of age sci-fi thriller film. Definitely worth your time.
Annabelle Comes Home (2019)
Just when I thought there was hope for the horror genre...
The first Annabelle film was mediocre, the second was surprisingly good. This one is more on the lines of the first film. While not awful, this movie was very disappointed. What started out quite well quickly became a genric, run-of-the-mill supernatural horror film with poor acting and cheap jumpsacres. Most of the side plots go nowhere, it makes very little sense and Ed and Lorraine, while excellent, are barely in it. Was going to give it 5 stars but added an extra one just for Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmigs turning up at the end. Would not recommend.
13 Reasons Why (2017)
Overrated. awful and harmful
With a rise of mental health in teens it would've been great to have a fantastic series on the lines of BoJack Horseman or Mr. Robot, but 13 Reasons why is NOT that show.
With unrealistic portrayals of depression and suicide this show glamorizes mental illness and demonizes it to those who aren't familiar with it. Painting an unrealistic depiction of a serious issue. Also giving false messages to teenagers such as how to deal with school shooters. Oops, SPOILER. If anyone cares. I just hope netflix cancel this tripe before the damage is permanent.
