A love letter for all spiderman movies/tv shows
2 June 2023
Wow, what an incredible film. Coming in with high expectations after how great the first film was. The different animations styles of the different types of spider mans as they interact with one another. At times it can seem trippy but it keeps you engage to always keep looking at the spider-man.

While the first act is your normal coming of age tale of having to balance being Spider-man and a teenager. Things start becoming fast paced and intense with the story when it gets to the 2nd act of the film.

The intensity of the film kept me engage with the action and comedy. Also the storyline is just perfectly written for a multi-verse film for spider-man.

With all the references to other media of spider-man, this is the ultimate film for spider-man lovers in all type of media. This film is more than a superhero film but a legitimate movie of the year contender. Top 5 superhero movies for sure.

So fun and engaging that you will want more as the film ends.

Fast X (2023)
5/10
You should expect what this film is about
19 May 2023
If you seen any of the Fast and Furious movies since the 5th one then you know what this film is about. Nice car go vrooom, lots of fighting, shooting, explosions, and destruction of cars. It's to be expected from the series.

Filled with in your face actions and action sequences that make you raise your eyebrows as the Dom seems to be indestructible. You should come in knowing all of this because it's what is being sold to movie goers.

If you want a drama with good storyline, pass on the film. If you want to be entertained with outrageous sequences that are entertaining to watch than this is your film.

Overall it's a PG-13 kid movies with the cheesy one liners and the fast paced action. Therefore a fan for those who love cars and for those who love explosions.

Nice closure to James Gunn Trilogy
5 May 2023
The final volume for the Guardians have arrived. Just like the first two films, this one does not disappoint to create a great trilogy. It had great closure for what each Guardian will do towards the end.

This film is very dark, with subject matter that will most likely make you feel uncomfortable and saddened at times. While the film presents it's goofy humor we all grown to love with the previous film, it does have a dark side story that is the darkest in the MCU also they really push the limits in the brutality of the actions scenes. The dialogue is very raunchy with lots of swears and even has the F Bomb.

Overall the story is great, the humor is as well, and the action sequences is as wonderful to expect from James Gunn. While this is one of the darkest PG-13 you can watch overall, it brings a great viewing experience that makes the 2 hour and 20 min film seem short as you are kept entertained or horrified.

8/10.

Not your average M Night Shyamalan and that's a good thing.
4 February 2023
One thing Im seeing people complain about is how the film doesnt have a twist. It's an obscured critique of the film, possibly coming from expectations of his other film.

What you do get is a unique premise of a film that seems bizarre but told so eloquently. The dialogue between Bautista and child actor Kisten Cue in the set up of the film pulls you in to what to expect. Great story telling and constitenly great dialogue of all the characters keeps you engage and curious throughout the film.

The stars of the film was between the love chemistry between Jonathan Groff and Ben Aldrige. Their on screen chemistry is very organic and their acting and expession especially towards the climax kept me on the edge of my seat.

I personally believe the ending is better than what the book proposed.

This is definitely Shyamalan magnum opus. It may not have his signature ending twist you find on other film, but dont think this is at all a bad movie.

So far the best of the year.

Missing (I) (2023)
9/10
This movie is filled with surprises. A lot better than what is advertised.
28 January 2023
This is a fun movie to watch. It's filled with many shocks and twists that you wont see coming as you continue with the movie. Everything you see of the movie is shown through all the recording devices, it's basically show by the POV of many different devices as quality and shot angle are constantly changing.

It's a great detective movie that shows how modern technology and the internet can be used in many ways to find clues and how much can be done to find a missing person.

The film has two major plot twist, one half way through the movie and the other towards the climax of the film. That drastically changed the narrative of the film.

Overall, I was hooked and really invested in the film. Way better than what I expexted.

House Party (I) (2023)
6/10
Slow start but great 2nd act 6/10
21 January 2023
Watching the movie, it starts off pretty slow with not much comedy in the mix during the first act. However, as the party begins the movie picks up with pacing and humor. However, the side story about the state of their friendship felt forced and out of place. It didnt really progress naturally and felt like it was thrown into the mix to have conflict.

What I do enjoy that the film took a weird turn and created a side story that is completely separate from the party story. Without spoiling much, it's towards the climax of story that involves Kid Cudi character.

All in all I would give this movie a 6/10 but since I think it's harshly being reviewed since its a remake, I will adjust the score of an 8 to help boost the score more fairly what it deserves.

Violent Night (2022)
7/10
Fun, Crude, and Violent
4 December 2022
Like the title states this is a violent movie where Santa comes to save the day. The film is essentially a parody of die hard which many consider a Christmas. As this movie is more of an action movie it also works as a comedy movie. It doesnt take itself serious as it should since the plot itself is silly. However the execution of the fight scenes were great, the comedy is there and the jokes do land. The dialogue is pretty good for a comedy action film, was expecting cheesy lines but its not that kind of movie.

As expected it's a Christmas movie with lots of ambience of the Christmas spirit and making fun of tropes that come with Santa. The side story of the family was done pretty good to also keep you interested in their story.

In the end, the movie is pretty well made as a comedy and action film. I had low expectations of the film and I was pleasantly surprised. Definitely worth a watch.

6/10 a pretty good movie.

Bullet Train (2022)
8/10
Comic book esq style movie
10 August 2022
What a fun movie to watch. With so many side story this film has the feel of a comic book film. While many comic book films fail with poor writing this movie excels with a interesting plot and action comedy that doesnt take it self serious. The director took what made deadpool great and applied it to this film.

Great performances and great action sequences.

Definitely worth a watch.

Prey (I) (2022)
2/10
Boring start
5 August 2022
40 minutes in and had to drop the movie. It didnt catch my interest and just decided to stop there. Very slowed paced and the building story was not interesting.

Would skip if your looking for a action packed movie.

Boring movie
11 July 2022
Im sorry but it just isnt an interesting movie. Usually I can stay engage with great dialogue but the dialogue falls flat. If your looking at this movie for entertainment, I would look elsewhere. Stopped after 45 minutes.

The Boondocks: The Color Ruckus (2010)
Season 3, Episode 14
10/10
Pinnacle of dark comedy
19 May 2022
This episode is the darkest of the boondocks but still portrays it in a comedic way. It tells the story of Uncle Rukus family and the abuse he received from his father. It is a take on how at times parents will take out their frustrations on their kids for when life gets really tough for them. A social concept many can relate too. While you may feel bad watching this episode, it truly is the series best as it takes trauma with a comedic twist to it.

The Batman (2022)
3/10
Boring
4 March 2022
While this movie has a more dark tone and grittier tone with crime in Gotham. It's very slow paced and the plot just isn't that interesting. For a 3 hr long movie, I was falling asleep by the climax.

It's not that I dont like long movies but it just has no charm. Very bland movie, while I like the new directions of a more dark and realistic batman. Foremost it needs to be entertaining.

Tenet (2020)
6/10
A confusing movie you gotta watch more than once.
12 February 2022
It's a confusing movie. Even with Nolan other films with complex premise like Interstellar and Inception, those films are presented in a way that you can still understand.

However, this concept is way more thick. I didnt really get the movie and I had to look online to try to get an explanation and it still pretty confusing.

Since I didnt enjoy this movie as much with me being lost towards the end I give it a 6.

Because even if the plot is confusing, the action sequences are cool to watch and there is a nice twist to it.

The Wire (2002–2008)
10/10
Watch this show
3 December 2021
Wow, is what I can say about this show. While season 1 has a slow start and tries a bit too hard with the dialogue of trying to be in a way poetic. It's still a great season. Season 2 definitely is the low point of the show as the story was not as engaging as season 1. But season 3-5, it's prime television. The writing, the story, and the character development of the last three season makes this show the king of prime TV. Breaking bad used to be my favorite but this show takes the cake. I don't remember the last time my eyes were glued to the screen.

For the love of God, watch this brilliant show.

Icebox (2018)
7/10
Ignore the rating
25 January 2021
Since this movie has to do about illegal immigration, it's a controversial topic to watch. People are review bombing this based on their political beliefs. If you can put your political belief to the side and watch this movie, its a gritty tale of what it takes to enter the United States illegally. It has its elements of "hollywooding" scenes for entertainment purposes but its still a good drama and showcase the journey a young boy had to endure.

Good Boys (2019)
7/10
People are giving it 1 because of the actors age.
21 August 2019
It's not a terrible movie. It has lots of funny scene with a interesting plot from start to finish. I'm confused as why people thinking this film is sexualizing tweens. They are involved in a sexual situation, like finding the parents sex toys but they are approached through the innocent of a child. If anything it's a raunchy coming of age comedy.

The plot is very similar to SuperBad with a lot more edgyness. As a comedy I'd give it an 8 but as a regular film it deserves a 7.

Not your ordinary Taratino film.
2 August 2019
I came in expecting a Taratino film but it felt more like a soap opera. It doesnt have much of a plot, more like just seeing clips of their life. There's interesting parts with fantastic action but it just seemed pretty stale the 1st half of the movie. The 2nd half is where the plot begins and the climax of the film was a classic Taratino film.

I enjoyed the film but it definitely can be boring for the 1st half of the film. I give it a 7 because I dont believe this is a +9 rating film. Definitely not better than Taratino's Pulp Fiction.
