My Review of "Red Dawn (2012)"
Red Dawn (2012) is a remake of the old 1984 classic of the same name. I haven't seen the original movie but I am enticed to see the original after watching this. Let's get it out of the way that this is a popcorn action flick that you shouldn't take too seriously. The whole story is a little absurd but there is some fun to be had with it.

The Gray Man and Brad Pitt Train Fight
I’m pretty sure I saw the trailer to Brad Pitt Train Fight aka Bullet Train every single time that I’ve been to the movies this year. And when I finally saw it last week I got there early and the pre-show had no less than 3 previews for Bullet Train, the movie I was about to watch, including the full trailer once again. So I don’t think I was into the movie as much as I wanted to be because I felt like the trailer, like most trailers, showed a bit too much. Which is why I usually don’t watch trailers, but this one was just unavoidable. I had fun, but I think I actually enjoyed the movie more on my second watch, that could also be because I had seen Netflix's The Gray Man in between.

'Love Like the Galaxy' is absolute nuts - and I'm here for all of it!
As I write this, the note next to the thumbnail of the next two episodes says 'Available in one day'. I have checked and refreshed this page on the app several times in the past 24 hours and over the past few days as well, always harboring this miniscule hope that ju....ust maybe they slipped and decided just this one time to release the new episodes earlier - dreams are free after all. But, it is as it was the last time I checked, and I have to wait. Usually this is no problem. If there has to be a wait for new episodes of a drama I am watching, I just wait or get into a different drama altogether while I patiently wait for enough episodes of the on-going one to be uploaded before going back to it. But that is hardly the case this time around! For some reason, it seems almost impossible to put down this drama series. As I cautiously read through the comments by fellow viewers - a feature of this platform I both love and hate (a story for another post) - I see that I am not alone in this eagerness and impatience. There are tons of comments expressing impatience for the next episodes to be released, some confessing to having gone to watch on an external platform because they couldn't wait any longer and many, like me, who said they were re-watching the past episodes while waiting for the new ones.

My Review of "Ghostbusters (1984)"
Ghostbusters (1984) is a movie that holds a special place in my heart. I remember watching it when I was really young. My father never brought me to the movies or anything like that and one night he came home with this movie. We watched it that night and I'll forever remember that movie because it blew my mind.

My Review of "Lightyear"
Lightyear is finally come out on streaming on Disney Plus. It took me a while to watch this one. Admittedly, I wasn't really excited to see it but I knew it was a Pixar film so it can't be too bad. There's this part of me that was curious what they were going to do with the Buzz Lightyear character in this movie as well.

5 Sci-Fi movies that surprised us with their incredible plot twists
5 movies with great script twists in science fiction There are certainly many ways to catch the audience's attention when it comes to making a movie or a series. Normally, that a plot catches you by how well it is realized or how well tied its relationships are can be determinant to mark an entire community, being the science fiction genre one that tends to get it quite often. You have to think that it is a reinvention of the reality we know or a creation of new universes, so it ends up being the most striking way to escape.

Bullet Train - A Movie Review. Top Story - August 2022.
From the way I look at this situation, maybe it’s good luck that we missed the train. Riding into theaters in 2022, Bullet Train centers around five assassins onboard a fast-moving bullet train. They soon learn that their missions have something in common.

Fatherhood
Kevin Hart is well known for his comedy roles. It was quite refreshing to see him step slightly out of character for his role in Fatherhood. I say slightly because it is not possible for Kevin not to add a bit of comedy to everything he does (a case in point is the diaper-throwing scene in this movie). He plays a recently bereaved husband navigating life with a newborn. He is all heart and soul in this beautiful movie about life, grief, pain, parenthood, family, love and friendship.
