My Review of "Katt Williams: The Pimp Chronicles Pt.1"
I recently rewatched Katt Williams' 2006 HBO comedy special, The Pimp Chronicles Pt. 1. I remember laughing my butt off when I first saw this back in the day. It would be interesting to see how it fared today. I didn't think that the material back then would translate well to today's climate but I was wrong.

The Witcher: What Viewers Really Think
Netflix’s The Witcher runs the storylines of The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny alongside each other, with additions to flesh out the characters for the viewers. I found that, while sometimes it took me a minute to understand the time jumps, I was never so lost that I didn’t know what was going on. You could be questioning the slow pace one scene, laughing in the next, and unable to tear your eyes away from powerful imagery and heart wrenching dialogue in the following scene. Henry Cavill has managed to make the word ‘fuck’ a thing of beauty when Geralt of Rivia utters that single word as though plucking it from the viewers mind – because we’re all thinking it.

My Review of "The Cat in the Hat"
I don't remember there being a ton of content to make a movie about when I remember the kids book "The Cat in the Hat" by Dr. Seuss. I guess I was wrong. They made a full kids movie about of this book back in 2003. They haven't seemed to stop making movie adaptations of Dr. Seuss books since then so they must be doing something right?

My Review of "Ferdinand"
I didn't think much of Ferdinand when I first saw the promo for the movie. It didn't really speak to me as it was supposed to be about a bull in Spain. There wasn't too much advertising for the movie so it also seemed to be a pretty low budget animated film.

'Jumanji: The Next Level' Review—Effortlessly Entertaining
Question! Is this movie considered Jumanji 2 or Jumanji 3? Because it's the direct sequel to Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, but if Welcome to the Jungle is considered Jumanji 2, then this is Jumanji 3, right?

My Review of "Masterminds"
When Masterminds first came out in 2016, I wasn't exactly really excited to watch it. The story was kind of interesting but I've always been kind of 50/50 with Zach Galifianakis comedies. Sometimes I get his humor and I'll find his comedy to be hilarious but other times I can find him rather annoying and totally miss out on the jokes. It's not really his fault, he's been consistent I've just always been off and on with his type of humor.

A Cinderella Story: Christmas Wish - review (Netflix)
With a story that has its roots back as far as 7BC, the trials and tribulations of Cinderella have influenced and been the inspiration for many stories, plays, pantomimes, and in the past century, films. The tale of a downtrodden and oppressed orphan girl escaping the evil clutches of her step-family and finding love and a better life appeals to the romantic in all of us.

My Review of "Ronny Chieng: Asian Comedian Destroys America"
I have to admit, I haven't heard of Ronny Chieng before this comedy special. In fact, I don't think I know too many Asian comedians in general. The handful of Asian comedians that I have heard of I kind of steer clear with the exception of Ali Wong, Russell Peters (back in the day) and Aziz Ansari. This is particularly weird because I am Asian so you'd think I would gravitate to Asian comedians.

My Review of "Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer (1964)"
I remember watching Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer back when I was a kid in the 1980s. I was in awe of the stop motion animation that they did for the movie. I loved the story. It also always played every Christmas season so I wasn't sure if this was a Stockholm Syndrome kind of thing where I loved it because it just played all the time and I didn't have much choice in the matter.

My Review of "Jumanji: The Next Level"
Jumanji was a huge hit when it first came out in the 90's. It's only natural with all of the remakes that we're getting nowadays that they would want to remake this movie. When they remade the movie they put a totally different spin to the whole franchise which made the movie feel fresh and fun while still paying some homage to the original. Movie studios are predictable so you know that they had to have a sequel to the newly revamped Jumanji franchise. Here we are today with the new Jumanji film appropriately subtitled "the next level".
