Cherry

2021

★½ Watched

this had the potential to be a huge movie for Tom Holland but sadly, this is not it and only further proof that he should stay as Spider-man. with Cherry being overlong, unintentionally hilarious and very poorly edited, it’s just a shit show from the start. it has its moments here and there but it’s a mess and a sad one at that. i appreciate what they tried to do but in all honesty it just fell flat.

All the Bright Places

2020

★★ Watched

i saw this movie on tik tok and finally watched it and was too thrilled about it. it has your basic teen melodrama tropes and cliches and never does anything to set itself apart from other young adult movie adaptations.

the acting is the only thing keeping the movie afloat and the score is nice as well. i heard the book is miles better than the movie but is that really a surprise when it comes to movie adaptations of books?

saw in 4DX so that’s the only memorable part of this movie. 

otherwise it’s a train wreck of bad decisions

there’s no usable quotes for this movie aside from Vin Diesel mumbling “family”

We Can Be Heroes

2020

★★ Watched

I don’t know what to say about this movie. I went in with small expectations and still came out disappointed. It’s a fun movie but it’s corniness and bad writing just really bring it down for me. it’s a laughable movie that is very for kids and nothing for adults. it’s filled to the brim with bad jokes, poor writing, and tons of shitty cliches and CGI. 

I feel like I can’t be too harsh on this because it’s not…

Eternals

2021

★★½ Watched

Definitely not as bad as the critics say it is, but isn’t any better than your typical Marvel movie. Yeah it’s ambitious and big, but when it feels like it has no character whatsoever that kinda falls apart. Don’t get me wrong it’s entertaining and the plot itself is interesting to watch but it feels like they dance around the plot and move at a snails pace all the way until the last act. 

Also the whole relationship with sprite and…

Willy's Wonderland

2021

★★½ Watched

It’s fun but somewhat disappointing. nicholas cage is great and the animatronics are creepy but the good ends there.

Malcolm & Marie

2021

★★½ Watched

a pretentious movie about a argument that gets worse and worse as it goes on. In the end you get a phenomenally acted slow burn that tries a bit too hard to make you care. 

watch for zendaya’s acting alone.

The Little Things

2021

★★½ Watched

With Warner Brother’s first 2021 debut movie, I was expecting a lot. the trailer was great and got me wanting to see it. sadly, the end result is mundane and a bit overly familiar. 

don’t get me wrong the performances are great and Malek is the standout but it’s not enough to redeem the movie. On a side note, this movie has some terrible editing. each scene feels like it has way too many cuts and at a point, it…

Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard

2021

★★★ 2

while it’s a rather unnecessary sequel, it’s at least enjoyable with its cast and humor. That being said i’m not saying this is some super smart action comedy but more so a dumb, over formulaic and bland action comedy that’s only good aspect is it’s main ensemble. 

to give some perspective, if you want to see a movie where Ryan Reyolds plays deadpool and Samuel L Jackson plays Samuel L Jackson, this movie is for you. 

just ignore the plot and you’ll be fine.

prep for Hitman’s wife’s bodyguard 

still dumb fun and enjoyable to watch again.

Mortal Kombat

2021

★★★ Watched

absolute cheese-fest and your typical video game movie but the fact it caters to MK fans is great and that’s why i love it. i enjoyed every moment but fundamentally, it’s a rough movie but a great popcorn movie.

Godzilla vs. Kong

2021

★★★½ Watched

it’s everything you expect it be and more. the human drama is okay at best but the real picture is with the fights. 

the fight scenes look and feel incredible and give you a great sense of how big these guys are. each punch lands and will make the casual movie goer happy. 
the cgi is stunning and so is the cinematography and use of colors. 

seeing godzilla pin down kong and both of them roar made my 10 year…
