Crazy, Cool, Fun
Romantic comedies are among the biggest hit or miss genres, of movies to make. They have to be finely crafted, in order to work. If all goes well, you get an instant classic, that is remembered, quoted, and made reference to decades later, like When Harry Met Sally… but if there’s any hiccups or missteps, you get an unfunny, and forgotten mess of a Golden Razzie Award winner, like All About Steve. I can safely say that, while Crazy Rich Asians may not be the instant classic that When Harry Met Sally... is, it sure is an entertaining movie, that might find a strong cult following.

My Review of the Movie 'Girl'
If there is any movie that I can kind of compare this movie to, I would have to say it follows a similar path to the movie 127 Hours. You know what's going to happen, and they go on in circles about it, and then when it actually happens, you feel nauseated anyway. I had this same sort of feel in the movie Girl.

Big Eyes, Little Payoff
I’ve been a fan of Japanese pop culture since before I knew what Japan was. I loved Voltron as a child of the 80s, but I didn’t know it was a heavily edited version of a Japanese anime, called Beast King GoLion. I figured the animators were just too lazy, or the animation studio was too cheap, to properly time the lips of the characters to match what they were saying. Thanks to anime watching blocks like Cartoon Network’s Toonami, anime found a fanbase here in America, including creating beloved followings for series like Cowboy BeBop, that were otherwise overlooked in Japan. And anime inspired movies like The Matrix, only cemented the format as something that can be highly profitable.

My Review of 'The Upside'
The Upside has been out for quite some time so it's even surprising to me that it took me this long to watch it since I was a fan of the original French version called Intouchables. I know a lot of people harping on this movie because it's a remake of a great French movie. It really is a good movie because I watched it in French and I really enjoyed it. This is why I was curious about how Hollywood would translate this movie for an American audience.

'Captain Marvel:' A Fanboy Reviews
A not-so surprising amount of controversy has arisen out of this film, and it seems to be for the sake of causing controversy. I don't see the foundation for calling this movie terrible just because the main character is a woman, but I also understand that Brie Larson has been somewhat provoking it. Her moves are also understandable because these are conversations that need to be had for the world to progress. However, I'm not here to comment on it. I just want to review the film.
