The Wild Robot (2024)
A Heartwarming Masterpiece!!
Beautiful and I repeat beautiful movie to make you feel human. I loved every bit of this animated movie and it has got to be my favorite of the year so far. A perfect contender for Inside Out 2.
This movie heightened my spirit after watching. I had my eyes tear up a bit and laughed along... this movie got some strong message.
The voice performance were adorable bringing life to these characters and to ice the cake, this movie made me love Maren Morris more. Her beautiful soundtracks and theme songs made the movie deliver some impactful moments and will make you tear a little with emotions running through your veins. This was Masterfully done and I recommend this movie to every age.
Chris Sanders did a wonderful job directing this masterpiece and I want more.
Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist (2024)
A Masterful Star-Studded Show.
I've seen countless heist films, but this one stands out as one of the most thrilling and star-studded experiences I've had this year.
Set against the backdrop of Muhammad Ali's 1970s era, this series offers a fresh and captivating narrative I never knew existed.
The performances are nothing short of exceptional. Every actor, from the leads to the supporting cast, delivers a powerhouse performance that brings their characters to life. The dialogue and accents are spot-on, immersing viewers in the authenticity of the time period.
With a series of heart-pounding climaxes, this show is a must-watch for fans of heist films and historical dramas alike. It's a masterfully crafted piece that keeps you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end."
Hope there will be a season 2.
Speak No Evil (2024)
The Suspense is real!!
This is one chilling psychological thriller that expertly weaves a tale of terror and deception. First of all, James McAvoy delivers a tour-de-force performance, embodying the tormented protagonist with a haunting intensity. The film's intricate plot, filled with unexpected twists and turns, keeps viewers on the edge of their seats from beginning to end.
The movie serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers of toxic relationships and the importance of self-preservation. It encourages us to confront our fears, speak our minds, and prioritize our own well-being, even when it means making difficult choices. With its gripping narrative and stellar acting, this is a must-watch for fans of suspenseful thrillers and anyone seeking a thought-provoking cinematic experience.
AfrAId (2024)
Felt short.
While the film initially promised a gripping exploration of AI, similar to last year's successful "Megan," it ultimately fell short of expectations. The film effectively explained AI terminology through engaging examples, but its predictable plot and lackluster connection to AI left it feeling cheap and unsatisfying. The events felt disconnected from the core concept of AI, making it seem like a missed opportunity to delve deeper into the potential implications and complexities of artificial intelligence. If you're primarily interested in a clear understanding of AI concepts, the film might be worth watching, but don't expect a thrilling cinematic experience.
1992 (2022)
Reminiscent of the 1992 movie South Central.
While the heist twist in this film offers a unique perspective set against a historical backdrop, it's reminiscent of the 1992 movie South Central. The early suspenseful moments were promising, but the pacing slowed down towards the conclusion. Tyrese's performance was solid, as expected, and Ray's presence added a familiar intensity...I still miss him. Although the movie's overall quality is good, some scenes, particularly those highlighting the father-child bond, felt exaggerated. Despite this, it's still a worthwhile watch. The film's exploration of family dynamics and historical events provides a great experience.
Trap (2024)
Stockholm Syndrome & Operation Flagship.
This is a suspenseful thriller that draws parallels to real-life events like Operation Flagship. M. Night Shyamalan, known for his psychological horror films, has crafted a captivating narrative that explores the complexities of human nature.
The film's ability to evoke empathy for the villain and instill hope for his escape is a testament to Shamalan's skill as a filmmaker. Josh Hartnett was just adorable in this movie. His facial and emotional expressions make everything he does believable.
The inclusion of Shamalan's daughter and her original music adds a personal touch to the film.
While there were a few moments where some plot twists and decisions were slightly uneven, the overall suspense and tension were consistently maintained. Overall, "The Trap" is a highly recommended film that offers a thrilling and thought-provoking cinematic experience.
Twisters (2024)
Kate saves the day.
A worthy successor to the original, this film captures the same spirit with a technological twist. While the plot follows a familiar path, it's the technical aspects that truly shine.
The Dolby Atmos sound design is exceptional, transporting viewers into the heart of the terrifying tornadoes. The 3D audio is immersive and powerful, making your speakers work overtime.
The filmmakers' choice to opt for a grainier, more authentic look, reminiscent of GoPro footage, is a bold and effective decision.
While the story may not break new ground, the sound design is a revelation and a must-experience for audiophiles.
Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)
A Heartfelt farewell to Fox.
Deadpool and Wolverine is a spectacular showcase of Marvel's ability to seamlessly integrate Fox characters into the Marvel Universe. Serving as a nostalgic farewell to the Fox era, the film is packed with clever references that will delight longtime fans.
While the dynamic duo of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman undeniably steal the show with their impeccable chemistry and hilarious banter, the film's plot unfortunately falls flat.
Despite lacking depth, the movie compensates with its over-the-top action sequences, stunning visuals, and non-stop humor. The jaw-dropping fight scenes are a highlight, and the witty dialogue had me laughing out loud.
Ultimately, Deadpool and Wolverine is an entertaining action-comedy that's more style than substance. Reynolds and Jackman's performances are electric, and their on-screen partnership is pure magic. I eagerly anticipate seeing them share the screen again.
A Quiet Place: Day One (2024)
Not too good.
While A Quiet Place: Day One boasts impressive sound design and visual effects, its plot unfortunately falls short of the excitement and depth of its predecessors. The film starts off promisingly but quickly loses momentum, leaving viewers feeling bored and disengaged.
Lupita Nyong'o delivers a standout performance, conveying complex emotions through subtle facial expressions. Her talent is undeniable, even amidst a lackluster narrative. However, the film fails to evoke a strong emotional response from the audience overall.
Fans of the first two installments may find some enjoyment in the familiar world-building and suspenseful moments. However, newcomers to the franchise are unlikely to be captivated by this prequel, which offers little in terms of fresh storytelling or character development.
Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 (2024)
Immersive
A refreshing throwback to the golden age of Westerns, this unconventional film throws you headfirst into a tapestry of interwoven stories.
The initial pacing might feel deliberate and a slow burn orchestrated by a genre veteran like Kevin Costner. His vision for how these threads will converge is evident, building anticipation for the characters' inevitable collision.
The expansive cast, initially overwhelming, becomes a strength as each individual adds a brushstroke to the rich canvas of the narrative.
Costner doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of frontier life. The meticulously detailed environments, from sprawling landscapes to dusty settlements, and the settlers' struggles for survival create a deeply immersive experience.
As Chapter 1, this initial installment patiently establishes the complex situation and introduces a wealth of characters. While some viewers might find the slow burn frustrating, trust that understanding these intricate pieces unlocks a deeper appreciation for the story's potential.
This initial chapter lays the groundwork for a captivating saga, leaving audiences eager to see how these interwoven stories unfold and how the grand vision comes to fruition.
The Bikeriders (2023)
Love the rawness.
Not a bad movie. Love the dialogues, the accents and the rawness of this movie.... it felt very natural, immersive and tells a story that most people don't know about; how a bike club turned into a gang.
The performances are great, I think Tom Hardy was spot on as always. They story is based on a book and thus though violent in a way it lacks some near seat sitting experience. It felt relaxed most of the time with few plot twists. It fails a bit to make you empathize with any of the characters until may be the ending...**no spoilers*. It's a good movie I recommend watching alone with all your attention. You can easily dislike it.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024)
Great Adventure
This is a captivating adventure story centered on a young ape named Noa. The film cleverly draws inspiration from Caesar's legacy, hinting at Noa's potential for greatness. While the story is well-developed, it leaves room for further exploration in potential sequels.
Noa's inexperience shines through in the action sequences, showcasing his vulnerability and setting the stage for his future growth.
The supporting characters, Sylva and Proximus, are standouts with their bold personalities and strong vocals.
The movie's visual effects are top-notch, seamlessly blending with the live-action elements. The immersive Dolby Atmos sound design further complements the viewing experience.
Overall, Noa's Journey is a promising start that lays the foundation for a compelling series.
Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024)
The franchise is still strong.
Craving a laugh-out-loud comedy brimming with action? Look no further! This film outshines its predecessors in the series with its side-splitting humor. Martin Lawrence takes center stage, unleashing his comedic genius and signature charm to deliver a performance guaranteed to tickle your funny bone.
The story might not be as emotionally complex or suspenseful as the third installment, but it remains captivating. It skillfully steers away from an overly dramatic plot, opting for a fast-paced and action-oriented narrative that keeps you glued to the screen.
The action sequences themselves deserve a special mention. The filmmakers incorporate innovative drone camera techniques and panning shots, resulting in a visually dynamic and immersive experience. Imagine exhilarating fight scenes filmed from unique angles, or breathtaking aerial shots that showcase the action's grand scale.
This movie is perfect for a fun night out with friends, especially if you're looking for a crowd-pleaser to enjoy with some beers. It delivers the perfect blend of humor, action, and entertainment value, making it a surefire hit for a group gathering.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)
WITNESS THIS!!
George Miller delivers again! This Mad Max prequel surpasses the first with a perfect blend of brutal action, laugh-out-loud moments, and a deep dive into Furiosa's origin story.
Anya Taylor-Joy commands the screen, but Chris Hemsworth matches her intensity as the ruthless Dementus. Their performances are a must-see!
The stunt team deserves a standing ovation for their jaw-dropping work, seamlessly integrated with convincing effects that transport you directly into the gritty wasteland. Sure, there might be a few minor imperfections where the background meets the characters, but the film's so engrossing you'll barely notice.
This is a must-see for action fans and anyone who wants to experience a masterclass in world-building and character development.
Miller expands the Mad Max universe in fascinating ways, introducing new factions and power struggles that leave you hungry for more.
Presumed Innocent (2024)
Jake Gyllenhaal as always delivering his best 👌🏾
"Presumed Innocent" is a spellbinding legal thriller that reels you in with unexpected plot twists and powerful performances, especially Jake Gyllenhaal's portrayal of a prosecutor thrust into a shocking accusation. But this film transcends the courtroom. It weaves a complex tapestry of family dynamics, exploring the weight of choices and the consequences that ripple outward. If you crave suspenseful legal dramas with characters that linger long after the credits roll, "Presumed Innocent" is a must-watch. It delves into the human condition, making you question trust, loyalty, and the pursuit of truth."
Civil War (2024)
The awareness this movie brings.
This movie occupies a unique space in cinema. It blends entertainment with a powerful message, raising crucial awareness that left a lasting impact on me. We follow a group of intrepid military journalists as they delve into the heart of a fractured nation, determined to capture the raw truth. The exceptional acting delivers a masterclass in portraying the emotional toll of war.
One scene, in particular, etched itself into my memory. Jesse Plemons delivers a heart-stopping performance that will leave you desperately hoping to avoid a similar fate. His portrayal, while largely unrecognized, is a testament to his remarkable talent.
The film's brilliance lies in its refusal to spoon-feed the narrative. It throws you headfirst into the chaos, forcing you to piece together the bigger picture. This unconventional approach is a breath of fresh air for any true cinephile, making it a must-watch.
Road House (2024)
Beautiful fighting sequences
I went into this movie with a blank mind and with no expectation as to how it will turned up and I must say I really did enjoy this. Jake Gyllenhaal's portrayal is exceptional, bringing depth to his character in a movie that excels in its fighting sequences. The plot, while straightforward, is engaging, and the film shines in its character development. Kudos to the stunt team and choreographers whose skillful work elevates the action, creating thrilling and visually stunning fight scenes. This film is a testament to the art of action cinema and comes highly recommended for its entertainment value and the sheer spectacle of its choreography.
Shogun (2024)
Beautiful and rich in Japanese Culture.
Shogun stands out as a rare gem in today's television landscape. Gone are the days of sprawling epics that delve deeply into a foreign culture. This series is a magnificent exception, weaving a masterful narrative rich in the tapestry of Japanese customs and traditions. It's not just about sword fights (though there are some!), but rather a captivating exploration of leadership, loyalty, and the intricate dance between those who rule and those who serve. Be prepared to be surprised by the lengths some will go to in the pursuit of power and the unwavering dedication of others. If you crave a show that goes beyond the clash of steel and offers a deeper, more nuanced story, then Shogun is a must-watch.
Dune: Part Two (2024)
Bring On Part Three!!!
Dune: Part Two absolutely blew me away! For years, I thought adapting Frank Herbert's masterpiece was a fool's errand. But then Denis Villeneuve stepped in, and let me tell you, the man's a visionary. He's a master world-builder, and the one he's created for Dune is simply unparalleled. Every detail, from the harsh beauty of Arrakis to the intricate designs of the Fremen culture, feels meticulously crafted and utterly believable. The casting is spot-on too; each actor embodies their character perfectly, bringing depth and nuance to even the most minor roles. And let's not forget the action! The explosions are heart-stoppingly real, the fight choreography is top-notch, and every battle sequence is a visceral thrill ride. Dune: Part Two is a masterclass in filmmaking, a rich and immersive experience that leaves you wanting desperately for more. Part Three can't come soon enough!
Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
Why Marvel?
The movie sucks to be honest, bad plot.... infact the only thing I loved about this movie is Christian Bale as Gorr. His performance and look were so rich and incredible. That's all! The rest of the movie is Soo that I tried my possible best to sit through. I mean why would Marvel do something like this? Also what happened to the special effects team? The VFX was so poor in this movie; looked cartoonish and cheap, with un-laughable humor... Only humor I did enjoy aside Bale was the bleating and screaming from the Goats. This is a very forgettable movie and will definitely not add this to my library cuz I feel so ashamed of it. Production and directing were too poor and won't recommend this to anyone.
Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Wow! A Reference Material.
This is indeed a masterpiece movie, loved every bit of this movie from performances to stunts. Tom Cruise at his best as usual and with daring stunts. The plot felt a bit weak at the initial stages but picked up and with a perfect blend of an unseen action in any movie hence putting it in a reference position in my books. I highly recommend this 👌🏾. Wish there were more movies like this.
The Black Phone (2021)
Satisfying to watch.
Beautiful story line and performances. I did enjoy every bit of this. Has some eye teary part and some courageous moments. Did a good job of putting you in the kid shoes and fearing for them... You really get attached to the characters and it does make the movie a worthy watch.
Jurassic World Dominion (2022)
Worst of them all 👎🏾
I think is the worst sequel of them all, the prequels were so much better than this. They had no unique story plot, characters were uninspiring and dialogues were too lame. Really disappointed in this. On the other side the CGIs were realistic and blended well with the environment.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
Epic in all aspects 👌🏾
Noticed this has some bad reviews on here but seriously.... I got what I expected from this sequel. The plot made so much sense and will continue to make sense in upcoming phases of the marvel universe. Performances from Elizabeth Olsen were exceptional...far more than her Avengers Cameo. Also the CGIs and the ATMOS will make you appreciate every fight scene; very impactful and beautiful. This movie made so much sense to me and I think it will play a very vital role in subsequent movies.... they just used this to create an open end to begin and build other new franchises.
Father Stu (2022)
Touching & Moving.
Really enjoyed this one, was a bit slow but loved every moment. This 8s good enough to even make an u religious person think twice about a supernatural beings. Mark Wahlberg as usual was astounding in performance and dialogues... movie has it's funny moments and some scenes can put a tear in your eye. Highly recommend this one for some perspective.
