Hilarious. Fresh
25 October 2021
I was cracking up the whole movie. The cast killed it and did a good job of paying respect to the OG film. I think people who didn't like it are trying to make the movie more epic than in needs to be. The original was silly funny, this one plays off that with definite improv techniques visible and I was very entertained which is the point.

Black Widow (2021)
9/10
Functional hair styles for the win
11 July 2021
You can tell this movie was directed by a woman because for once, the hair/make up/outfits are functional for bad guy fighting. Nothing boils my blood harder than when a woman is out kicking butt and trucking across the wilderness in full hair and make up as if that makes any sense for the story line or character development. This movie did a great job of depicting complicated feminine characters that were inspirational in each of their own ways to real women rather than to fulfill a fantasy. Very impressive fight sequences and overall solid storyline. It's about time we had this film and I'm excited for the follow ups.

Gemini Man (2019)

This Dialogue is so rough
28 January 2020
This is possibly the worst dialogue I've ever witnessed. the worst part is that the actors are good enough that they own all that terrible dialogue 100%.... giving very passionate performances alongside truly laughable writing which makes all of the characters feel nonsensical and unreliable.

Love, Simon (2018)
10/10
Truly beautiful movie
24 February 2019
This movie really conqueres a tough subject like no other film before it. Probably the greatest point was highlighting the mistakes he made in trying to keep his secret and the fact that his being gay doesn't change or excuse those mistakes, and he's still able to learn from them. The way his friends reacted was just so real and the character development was spot on for everyone. I really loved the family too. All in all; just a very real film about a very real scenario that many people face. Loved it.

Venom (2018)
7/10
Spent too much time on Developing Eddie
6 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
They Spent too much time on Developing Eddie as a "loser" and not enough time on the Eddie-Venom relationship. This dude left his planet and betrayed his kind to stay on earth and hang out with Eddie so there needed to be a stronger relationship there to make that believable.

Very twisty turny and funny
15 September 2018
I really liked it! Definitely worth seeing. There are a couple things that I wish could have been different and when you watch it, I'm sure there will be things you like and dislike but I loved how dynamic even the goody good character, Stephanie is. Her backstory is as interesting as Emily's. Very good movie and Blake and Anna do an amazing job.

great adaptation of the book
3 September 2018
People are weirdly bitter about this saga. It's a great adaptation of the book. The whole series of movies does a good job. Some of these reviews are from people who've not even seen the other films let alone read the books. These movies are for the book fans. They are cast perfectly; the acting is exactly what it should be, overdramatized and slightly disjointed but perfectly in tune with the awkward Bella, hot tempered Jacob and out of his element Edward. Even the poorly animated baby still goes with the book. It's not meant to look like a real baby. People are just taking these movies way to seriously for what they are; young adult fantasy movies made for fans of a book series.

Great adaptation of the book
3 September 2018
I wish people would stop trying to judge these movies as if they are meant to be some cinematic masterpiece to change the times. It's an adaptation of a young adult fantasy romance. Give it a rest. It's not meant to be realistic. the characters are supposed to be over dramatic. This movie does a great job representing the book and the casting could not be more spot on.

Twilight (I) (2008)
9/10
Great adaptation of the book
3 September 2018
People need to remember that this is an adaptation of a young adult novel. It is meant to be overdramatized and cheesey. They did a great job bringing the book to life. I believe this was made possible by including Bella's thoughts from the book as part of the narrative. We always know what she's thinking and why certain moments are important. People who rate this poorly are trying to make the movie into something it's not.

Jack Ryan (2018–2023)
8/10
Nailed it
2 September 2018
They really did a great job with this. Possibly my favorite part was how colorful they made the antagonists. Obviously they are truly horrible people, but showing their past struggles to help us understand what lead them here was helpful in making the show well-rounded. They had run-off plot lines here and there that were also interesting. John Krasinski does an amazing job; as he does with every role he takes on. And they did a good job of showing how not everything in the CIA agenda is perfect but everyone there is doing what they can with what they have. It seams that shows either make the CIA look like the bad guy or like it's all patriotic hero's. This was a good balance. I took two stars away only because Wendell Pierce was poor casting as Greer. He just made him seam petty and angry, not worthy to mentor the likes of Jack Ryan. And the girlfriend and Jack didn't have any chemistry. It seamed forced for sure. Outside of that, the show was great in all aspects.

A Quiet Place (2018)
9/10
Incredible film that defies traditional cinema
1 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
For this movie to work it had to be executed perfectly, and it absolutely was. Killing the child at the beginning let the viewers know that there were no boundaries and anything could happen. For all I knew everyone would end up dead so I was truly on the edge of my seat. The acting was incredible, it had to be with no one speaking. I gave it 9 stars because it doesn't make sense that this couple would allow themselves to get pregnant and put the entire family at risk after they already lost one baby to this alien infested world. Made for a good plot line but logically, it was frustrating.

These movies get better and better
1 September 2018
This movie has no plot holes, the acting is incredible and the action scenes take your adrenaline to the next level. The intricacies in the relationships that have been built over the series really comes to a head in this one too. I mean they really just knock it out of the park. This is one of the few series movies that just keeps getting better.

Just Really Disappointing
1 September 2018
They let a lot of bad singers challenge for unknown reasons and send some glaringly great talent home. A lot of this is due to Diddy who's spitting some Straight jacket worthy nonsense half the time and is extra rude and full of himself. Some have said he's channeling Simon Cowell but Simon is constructive and usually says what the audience is actually thinking. Diddy is just a jerk. I also don't care at all for the original four. We don't even know if they are good performers aside from a funky group song at the beginning. I'm sure they are but I would have no idea watching the show. They are set up to fail. The Voice has my heart, a good golden buzzer brings tears to my eyes, give me American idol any day but this show is crap.
