My review of "Spenser Confidential"
When it was announced that Netflix was going to have Mark Wahlberg in a Netflix exclusive action buddy film, I kind of groaned silently. The trailer looked decent but I wasn't sure of the quality of the movie. Netflix had been notorious for churning out quick movies for its popular streaming service. I was worried that this was just another movie that felt like it was made a "made for TV movie". Technically yes it is a made for TV movie but I'm happy to let you know that it doesn't feel like one.

'Onward' Review—A Delightfully Emotional Adventure
For 25 years, Pixar has been consistently releasing some of the greatest animated movies in history; that is, if you don't count Cars 2, which I am still desperately trying to forget exists.

Pokemon: Mewtwo Strikes Back (Evolution) | Movie Review
So as a pretty big fan of Pokemon I was pretty excited when I heard there was going to be a new Pokemon movie. However, I was aware that it would be completley revamping the animation of the classic movie Mewtwo Strikes Back. It was safe to say, my excitement was bolstered even-more, I absolutely love this movie, so I knew exactly what I'd be doing on my Friday night.

'Onward' Review: Pixar at it's Worst Still Isn't Horrible
Going into this movie I didn’t really have any expectations. I thought the idea of Chris Pratt and Tom Holland playing brothers was pretty cool and I like when fantasy and real-world law come together.

Ice Age - A Movie Review
Prepare yourself for the ice age to come. Just be on the lookout for a mammoth, sloth, and a saber-tooth tiger accompanied by a baby.

Celtic Warriors and Talisman
Talisman by Tam DeRudder Jackson is a mix of romance, mystery, and fantasy. It gives a new energy to Celtic Mythology in modern literature and revives favorite fantastical characters like Morrigan (our antagonist who delivers warriors and their talismans to the other world).

A brutally entertaining comic-book-like movie.
What? I would have shot you in the dick, if the target wasn’t so small. “Guns Akimbo” is simply too absurd for words. It’s absolute nonsense and you shouldn’t take it too seriously. It’s simply “over the top” pulp and looks as if it’s based on some Asian comic strip. But believe me. This film is simply top-notch entertainment. A roller coaster that slowly takes a very steep run-up and then crashes into the depth with a breakneck-speed, shaking you back and forth. And this crazy, hyperkinetic ride lasts until the end. The action scenes with Nix (Samara Weaving) are equivalent to those in “John Wick“. Flashy editing. Blood splattering when bullets rip apart human flesh in slow motion. And all this under the guidance of an energetic soundtrack where you will hear amongst other “The Ballroom Blitz” from The Sweet. In short, I greatly enjoyed this film for an hour and a half.

My Review of "Dragon Quest: Your Story"
I have to admit that I loved playing Dragon Quest when I was younger. It's saying a lot because I generally don't like playing role playing games at all. Fortunately, I was first introduced to Dragon Quest III back when the Gameboy Color was hitting the height of its success. I forgot about the Dragon Quest series for quite some time and then Dragon Quest VIII for the Playstation 2 came into my life. That game sucked out so many hours of my life. Again, I don't even like role playing games.

'Survivor: Winners at War' Episode 4
Wow! What an incredible episode of Survivor tonight! First off, nice move to the 4 who blindsided Ethan. As sad it was, it was a brilliant move. And Adam, you have a lot of work to do, man. You definitely screwed up by telling Rob. As for Dakal, it's nice to celebrate the small things. Yul's right on point about that. Dakal is thriving, eating well and they made it a quarter through the game with 9 members still in tact. That's worth celebrating. And the Edge. The difficult task of moving 20 logs, one log at a time from the top of the hill to the camp, finished by sundown. Those four pushed through and did it. Natalie rocked it, Danni & Amber fought in second and Ethan, poor guy. He pushed himself to nearly fainting. Dude, I get you're a pro at this but it's okay to stop and breathe. I know you're a competitor but, calm down. Us fans would rather have you lose a fire token than have you lose your spot in the game due to a medevac. But, after medical did convince him, he took his breaks and he pulled it off, with Danni, Amber & Natalie all with him for support. Great job, Ethan. You beat cancer, you can beat the Edge of Extinction.

You like action-rich flicks? Better you skip this one.
The thing about getting older is looking back, it doesn’t matter how old you are, life always feels the same length. Like both forever and not very long.

The Photograph (2020)
*Click, Click, Click* is all it takes to make an endless memory. Isaac Jefferson (Y’lon Noel/ Rob Morgan) grabbed the camera and took a simple picture of Christina (Chante Adams) the one person he loved till her death. Once Christina passed she left a note to her daughter Mae (Issa Rae). The movie shows us clips of Christinas life in Louisiana before she moved to New York to follow her dream. We get the story we didn’t know we wanted. We get to see the love Christina and Isaac shared before Christina moved to New York. Their love was so genuine and full of potential but Christina wanted more out of like (many of us can relate); so she did the most difficult decision by choosing her dream over love. At the same time we are introduced to Mae and Michael’s (LaKeith Stanfield) connection. One simple conversation and we can see that there is something between them. Maybe not a physical attraction at first but a beautiful connection brought by one persons life, Christina. These two lovers find each other when they where not looking and learn about Christina’s past while learning about each other. THE PHOTOGRAPH shares so much with us because of one simple photo on a shelf.
