Welcome to discount “Die Hard.” I mean…, “Welcome to Sudden Death,” a movie so blatantly ripping off the popular film, it’s even directly mentioned. Jesse Freeman (Michael Jai White) is a veteran working as a security guard at a new sports stadium in Phoenix. A group of terrorists kills every other security guard and rigs every exit to blow up when the crowd leaves at … Continue reading Welcome to Sudden Death (2020)
I can only score it for what it is , it’s not much of a plot, quite dialogue heavy, often relying on amazing settings to distract you from what can feel a long film with many periods of not much happening. It was nicely put together , interesting that MBB got a producer credit, wonder how much she did or if it was an incentive … Continue reading Enola Holmes (2020)
Tom Hardy, James Gandolfini, Naomi Rapace, and Matthias Schoenaerts star in “The Drop” from 2014. With a script written by Dennis Lehane, good direction by Michael R. Roskam, and brilliant acting, this is an excellent film. Bob Saginowski (Hardy) works at a bar formerly owned by his cousin Marv (Gandolfini), now mob-run, which means that every once in a while, the bar is the drop … Continue reading The Drop (2014)
Honestly I’ve enjoyed watching the movie, this is an achingly beautiful movie. The filmakers were deliberate about creating stunning visuals and succeeded – Mulan is one of the most beautiful movies you’ll see this year.but there were many ups and downs Ups: It’s unfortunate it isn’t getting a theatrical release since it’s a stunning visual spectacle. MULAN is visually gorgeous and one of the better … Continue reading Mulan (2020)
ALL TOGETHER – MOVIE REVIEW Gotham Group produces this film that is based upon a novel “Sorta like a Rockstar” written by Matthew Quick and directed by Brett Haley. The premise of the movie is nothing new. The screenplay too has shades of déjà vu. But then what works for the film are the earnest performances and the spirit of the central character. Yes at … Continue reading ALL TOGETHER – NETFLIX MOVIE REVIEW
Jessica Chastain plays the elusive Ava, who is the top assassin of a shady company. However, as she relapses into alcoholism and a mental breakdown is on the way, the company deems her a liability and wants her gone.

As this will be non-spoiler, I can’t say too much about the story. However, what I can is this: Tenet’s story is quite dynamic in the sense that you won’t understand it till it wants you to. So, for the first half, your brain is fighting for hints and pieces to puzzle together the story. It isn’t until halfway through the movie that Tenet invites … Continue reading Tenet (2020)
This movie is a slow burn that gives you enough time to get to know the new mutants but it’s not very atmospheric. It doesn’t put you in the mood, despite the horror vibe of the piece. I never felt anxious, or worried for any of the characters. Even if the tone is a bit of a miss for me, it is a smartly constructed … Continue reading The New Mutants (2020)
So far Disney+ has had few exclusives to its name but today the film The One And Only Ivan came to the streaming service and here is my review for it.

Main Character Sam Rockwell voices Ivan … Continue reading The One and Only Ivan (2020)
Story line: 6/10 I went into this movie blind. I just opened up Netflix to watch anime and this movie was recommended to me so I gave it a chance. The story line is weak. Nothing makes sense. This is the kind of movie you turn your brain off and watch nonsensical stuff happen on screen and eat popcorn. I made it though the movie … Continue reading Project Power (2020)
