GAME OF THRONES SEASON 8, EPISODE 3 - AN EPIC PAYOFF TO THE ARC OF THE NIGHT KING

Wed, 01 May 2019 12:00:00 +0000

Though many have already criticized and downright hated on the episode with some claiming it was too dark, while others nitpicking on the narrative arcs, and how unsatisfying the conclusion was, this episode not only answers many questions, but pays off threads long set up within earlier seasons of the series.

This battle is one of many battles in a war that has been going on for seven seasons, this is its conclusion, and it was the most cathartic emotional experience from a television series, one even stronger than a particular endgame.

SHAZAM - Unleashes your inner child and makes you believe!

Mon, 01 Apr 2019 13:00:00 +0000

Every single kid dreams about becoming a superhero, and this dream finally comes true as the audience is able to live that experience vicariously via DC’s latest hero film release, SHAZAM!

DC films haven’t had the greatest luck, but with AQUAMAN being a surprise hit at the box office late last year, it seemed there was a light at the end of the tunnel.

The DC comic adaptation that audiences have long been waiting for finally here, and all they have to do to watch it, is say the magic word: SHAZAM!

Dumbo - Pointlessly expands the plot, losing the magic of the original

Fri, 29 Mar 2019 14:00:00 +0000

Disney’s live-action formula may be bringing in the cash, but unlike the original animated masterpieces, it won’t be leaving behind a magical legacy that will remain with future generations.

The massive flaw within the studio’s rehash of the archive, is that the reimagining of these iconographical films, is not always living up to the charm and power of the original tale.

Captain Marvel - Marvel’s first female superhero doesn’t soar high enough to leave a mark

Fri, 08 Mar 2019 04:00:00 +0000

With all the hype that’s surrounding Marvel’s first female super hero, it’s truly a shame that any form of proper criticism would be interpreted as sexist, or narrow-minded, especially since this is surely not constructive in any form nor would it lead to fruitful conversations regarding the industry.

With that in mind, CAPTAIN MARVEL doesn’t soar high enough to leave a memorable mark within audiences, though the narrative it presents will surely mark a change in the MCU.

In Focus: Man of Steel - Human, Hero, Hope

Sat, 09 Feb 2019 08:00:03 +0000

When MAN OF STEEL first premiered, it’s safe to say it wasn’t met with a lot of positive feedback from fans .

With the recent DC announcements of rebranding, and taking the franchise in a possible new direction, I decided to give these films a second chance.

After finishing the MAN OF STEEL re-watch, here is my verdict: Zack Snyder’s film is the most accurate depiction of the hero that audiences have ever seen — a Superman that is struggling with his identity.

STAN & OLLIE – An Unconventional Biopic with a Whole Lot of Heart

Wed, 06 Feb 2019 09:31:59 +0000

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are widely regarded as the greatest comedy partnership in movie history: making over 107 films, and defining the notion of the double act with infectious chemistry and hilarious routines that seemed effortless but were honed down to the finest detail.

It’s really quite puzzling why it took Hollywood so long to honor the legendary duo, but STAN & OLLIE was definitely worth the wait.

VS. - A film that crushes and lands its punches!

Mon, 04 Feb 2019 10:00:00 +0000

At its surface this film might seem like the run of the mill, 8-Mile wannabe merged with a little bit of Step-Up, but contrary to this point of view, VS. shines on its own, dishing out a solid narrative with an engaging protagonist, and packs quite the punch with its overarching theme.

The interesting question that THE LEGO MOVIE 2 asks is: Is this darker version the proper version to become?

The film is beyond basic and offers nothing new visually but rather captures things as they are sans flare or life, and though that might have been the intent of the filmmaker, coupling a narratively monochromatic film with a flat visual component is a downright sin.
