Seeing Sonic The Hedgehog share the big screen with his brightly-coloured pals Tails and Knuckles, ready to fight against the maniacal Eggman played by Jim Carrey sounds like a dream come true and for better or worse, 'Sonic The Hedgehog 2' absolutely delivers. The problem, as there usually is one residing in these video-game adaptations, … Continue reading ‘Sonic The Hedgehog 2’ Is Bigger, Brighter and A Bit Much.
'Hotel Transylvania' isn't the number one result in anyone's mind when the concept of an animated franchise comes to mind. It is by far and away the most ridiculous and surprisingly expansive franchise to ever exist. Does it sell toys? Not at all. Are the movies financially profitable? Weirdly enough, yes but they ended up … Continue reading watching ‘Hotel Transylvania: Transformania’ so you don’t have to.
It has been so insanely long since a musical soundtrack has infiltrated my brain to such an addicting level. It only makes sense that the movie to do it is a Disney musical with songs composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda. As the entire world knows by now, the latest Disney hit, 'Encanto' has been making quite … Continue reading Ranking The Songs From Disney’s ‘Encanto’!
This damn movie has been out for an entire month and considering I work in a movie theatre, you would think that I would've seen this by now. I had even seen the first half-hour at home but stopped because I genuinely wanted to watch this theatrically. After a tedious month of planning, I finally … Continue reading y’all are thinking too hard about ‘Space Jam: A New Legacy’.
To feel comforted is to feel nostalgic, safe and loved. Whether it's mom's homemade shepherd's pie, a piece of entertainment that speaks to the soul or even a favourite blanket. If something is comforting to you, it is because it's feeding what makes you... you! To put it in simple terms, Pixar's latest film 'Luca' … Continue reading ‘Luca’ Is Pixar’s Greatest Comfort Movie.
'A Quiet Place' has become the go-to movie I recommend to anyone who is looking for a clever, terrifying and entertaining film. It is always a genuine treat seeing how people react to the out-of-the-box experience this movie provides. It's also very uncommon to find yourself getting emotional during a horror movie only to become … Continue reading ‘A Quiet Place Part II’ Is A Relentlessly Terrifying Sequel.
Over the past few years, it has become progressively clearer to me that I prefer animation over live-action. Movies like 'Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse', 'Your Name' and the 'How To Train Your Dragon' franchise had a far longer impression on me than any live-action film, at least not since 'La La Land' which is the … Continue reading ‘The Mitchells vs The Machines’ Is a Goddamn Delight.
Every once in a while, a movie comes along which takes over you within its first few opening minutes. A movie which captivates your mind and heart and gets you to care deeply about what it has to say. 'Minari' is one of those movies. Opening up with it's trance-inducing score and presenting it's deep … Continue reading ‘Minari’ Is As Complex and Layered As It Is Emotional.
Growing up in the 2000's meant growing up with plenty of live-action / animation hybrid movies. The most beloved cartoon icons all had one, from the hilariously adult 'Scooby Doo' movies to the fever dreams that were 'Garfield: The Movie' and 'Looney Tunes: Back in Action'. As a child I had always wondered why 'Tom … Continue reading ‘Tom & Jerry’ Embark on Their Most Mediocre Adventure Yet.
Pixar's latest feature, 'Soul' has finally come out and it's been on my mind ever since. Truth be told, I wasn't looking forward to watching this movie, it looked like it was tailor made to make you cry and question your existence and I don't know about you but I have had enough of that … Continue reading ‘Soul’ is…
