The highly-anticipated Wonder Woman 1984 falls flat, being released at the end of a notoriously bad year – especially for Hollywood. DC has been struggling with the ratings of most of their recent blockbusters in the last half decade. I, unlike most, have for the most part been enjoying DC releases, including the ill-received BvS … Read moreWonder Woman 1984 Is Appropriately Bad for 2020
Bad boys, bad boys…watchu gonna do…watchu gonna do when they come for you. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are back as Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, respectively. The two detectives reactivate their game, and show the bad guys who the real bad boys are. The film, unlike the first two in the series, is not … Read moreBad Boys 3: Bad Boys 4 Life
At the outset, one must recognize the culture that the Frozen franchise has established. The same chants you’ve heard in the first film, reestablishes the emotional connection in this sequel. This is a very entrancing movie, constituted with many songs that are concurrent with the storyline. Anna and Elsa are very close, but even closer … Read moreFrozen 2 Warms Our Hearts Whilst Giving Us Chills
This movie holds some level of magic that brings more hope to lovers and friends than the latest Peter Pan ever could. I was immediately drawn to the story and the culture of the film, elevated in ideals and constant pressures much like what we face day to day. There’s love, betrayal, war, fairies, so … Read moreMaleficent Two is Too Magnificent
It seems that people either love this movie or hate it. It’s the latter for me. I thought it was too convoluted for no reason. Too narcissistic with little reason. Phoenix was trying way too hard with little results. He tried something different from what Heath Ledger brought to The Dark Knight, but this conceived … Read moreJoker was so bad it’s funny

Front runners Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt play Rick Dalton and Cliff Booth, respectively. Dalton is an actor on a downward spiral of his career and Booth is his close friend and stunt double. … Read moreOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood Lives Up to the Hype
In the wake of the catastrophe illustrated in Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, comes Spider-Man: Far from Home. What peaceful (ironically) mayhem compared to what we saw with the almighty Thanos in the Avengers movies. That might seem like an oxymoron, but I assure you it’s worded very appropriately. This movie is a segue into … Read moreSpider-Man: Far From Home is Heartwarming and Homey, Homie
I can’t remember the last time I saw a newly released animated movie that had motifs and tropes that resonated with me as much as Toy Story 4. It has been nine years since the last film, and fans of the franchise have been brimming with excitement and anticipation. I myself have not been an … Read moreToy Story 4 Wins the Heart of Millions
After a long wait, the epic conclusion to Avengers: Infinity War has arrived with verve and style. Endgame has garnered a lot of attention and accolades. It is indeed a good film. But I must say at the outset that I did not enjoy this movie as much as others did. In fact, I thought … Read moreAvengers: Endgame is Done Well
