Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
What a day! WHAT A LOVELY DAY!!!!!
Prior to this review, I had never seen any of the Mad Max Movies, but with Furiosa coming out next week, I decided to finally watch all of the Mad Max Movies. I enjoyed the three Mad Max Movies with The Road Warrior being my favorite and Beyond Thunderdome being my least favorite, while still having some fun of it. Now that road has led me to Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) and I'm just gonna say it, Fury Road is not only the best Mad Max Movie, but it is one of the greatest movies ever made. This movie is a prime example on how to an established and beloved franchise from the 70s, 80s and 90s into the 21st Century perfectly.
First of all, the action and stunt work is the best that it's ever been and that's saying a lot given the fact that all four of these movies were written and directed by George Miller. This is a 2-hour movie where for the entire runtime it's just non-stop kick-ass action chase sequence and Miller pulls it off perfectly. The performances are all top-notch, there is not one person who isn't delivering off the top of their talent, but the standouts are of course Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron as Max Rockatansky and Imperator Furiosa respectively. Now as much as I did enjoy Mel Gibson as Max, Tom Hardy just takes this character to a whole new level to the point where I prefer Hardy ocer Gibson. The thing that makes Hardy's version of Max stand out is the fact that for almost the entire first hour of the movie, he has no dialogue and yet Hardy is able to bring out a lot of emotion throughout that first hour with his actions and eyes. Now, let's talk about Charlize Theron as Imperator Furiosa, this character is given so much emotion throughout her mission and journey back to her home to the point where I understand why they're doing a prequel to explore this character's backstory with Anya Taylor-Joy this year. Also, Furiosa is the prime example on how to do a strong female character properly.
Overall, if you haven't seen Fury Road or any of the other Mad Max Movies in general, then what are you doing with your life, you need to watch these movies as soon as possible. Fury Road is not only an absolute instant classic of the action genre, but it is God-Tier Cinema at its finest.
Abigail (2024)
Vampire Horror Movies are BACK!!!!!
When this movie was first announced, I was excited to see it because I've been a fan of a lot of the movies made by Radio Silence. Also, cast included people like Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens, Kathryn Newton, Giancarlo Esposito, Kevin Durand and Angus Cloud (RIP). When, it was revealed that this was going to be a Vampire Movie, I got even more excited to see this movie. After watching this movie multiple times, I can easily say that Abigail (2024) is my favorite Horror Movie of 2024 so far and it's easily Radio Silence's best movie to date.
Abigail (2024) gave me what I wanted from a Vampire Horror Movie, especially as a fan of The Lost Boys (1987). This movie does a fantastic job at balancing the horror and comedy perfectly. I really enjoyed all of the characters, even though they are all terrible people, the filmmakers did a great job at making you care about them.
Overall, if you enjoy Vampire Horror Movies, then you will definitely enjoy Abigail and I has me very excited to what these actors and Radio Silence do in the future.
X-Men '97 (2024)
Congratulations Disney and Marvel, you finally did it!
Prior to watching this Series, I didn't watch the original X-Men Animated Series. Even though I do consider myself a huge fan of the X-Men, I had no interest in watching that original animated series, but when Disney and Marvel announced that they were going to do a direct sequel to that show, I decided to watched the original animated series in its entirety. After watching that show, I was even more excited for this series, because I loved every minute of the original animated series.
I enjoyed watching every minute of this show week-to-week. This show gave me and other fans of the original X-Men Animated Series that we wanted and more. X-Men '97 is hands down the best Disney+ Original Series to date. I was genuinely very impressed with how they were able to recapture the heart and spirit of the original animated series. The Finale was phenomenal and I can't wait to see what they do with Season 2.
Overall, of you are a fan of the original X-Men Animated Series from the 90s, you will most certainly enjoy what Disney and Marvel do with X-Men '97.
Biohazard 4 (2005)
GREATEST VIDEO GAME OF ALL TIME!!!!!
I got this game for Christmas and after playing it multiple times, Resident Evil 4 is easily my favorite video game of all time. This is the game that I've beaten the most times and I love it with every single campaign. Leon S. Kennedy is the greatest video game protagonist of all time, he just oozes with charisma from start to finish. The variety of weapons are awesome and I loved using each of them. The boss fights are so badass and intense, my favorite boss fights are Chief Menendes, U-3 and Jack Crowser. I will say that Ashley was annoying at points during the campaign, but I don't despise her on the level that other people do. Overall, Resident Evil 4 (2005) is a God Tier Video Game in every way possible.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024)
Apes Franchise still strong!
Prior to watching this movie, I had never seen a Planet of the Apes Movie with the exception to Rise, so before watching this movie, I decided to watch all of the Planet of the Apes Movies and I enjoyed a lot of the movies to with the exceptions of both Battle and the 2001 Tim Burton Remake, while my personal favorites are both Dawn and War.
Just finished watching Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024) earlier today and while it's not on the level of greatness like Dawn and War, Kingdom is easily my 3rd favorite entry in the Planet of the Apes Franchise. The CGI for the apes is still phenomenal much like the previous Trilogy and the emotional moments of this franchise are also still intact. I will say that I wasn't into these new set of characters like I was with the previous entries, especially Caesar and Koba. However, once we get a new entry into this franchise, I will definitely more invested with these new characters.
Overall, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024) is yet another excellent entry into this modern Planet of the Apes Franchise and I can't wait to see how they will continue the story. GO OUT, WATCH IT AND BUY IT!!!!!
Reality (2023)
A career defining performance by Sydney Sweeney
This movie came out last year and the only reason why I didn't see or even heard of it is because I didn't even know who Sydney Sweeney was at the time. Now that I've seen the movie, I'm kicking myself in the butt for not having watched this movie last year and for not knowing who Sydney Sweeney is, because this movie was simply phenomenal. Reality (2023) is everything that you would expect from a movie made by HBO, but what makes this movie special is Sydney Sweeney's performance. This is hands down her best performance in her career so far, but then again she always given me it her all in every project she's been in, Madame Web not withstanding.
If you haven't this movie yet, then you need to watch it, if nothing else then to see why Sydney Sweeney is one of the best actresses of this or any other generation.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024)
The MonsterVerse never gets tired!
I've been a fan of the MonsterVerse since Godzilla (2014) & Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is the best entry in the MonsterVerse. These movies continue to ramp up the ridiculousness with each entry & I love it.
Now, I will say that the MonsterVerse movie wer never cinematic masterpieces to begin with, hell they don't even hold a candle to any of the Toho Godzilla Movies, but then again they shouldn't! These movies are never going to be able to compete with the Japanese movies, must like with Japan's Animation and Pro Wrestling. The MonsterVerse Movies are the Cinematic Junk Food of the Kaiju Movies.
Immaculate (2024)
Best Horror Movie of 2024 so far
I first heard about this movie back in January & I've had my eye on it ever since. With each passing day, my anticipation for this movie kept going higher. Now, I've seen the movie & I'm here to tell that Immaculate is the best horror movie of 2024 for now.
For once, we've got a Catholic Horror Movie that does something different & unique. The ending was bold & it will definitely divide audience. But the thing that I will remember this movie for is Sydney Sweeney's performance, this is easily her performance to date & that's saying given her resume. It's absolutely crazy to think that this woman went from appearing in a random episode of Disney XD's Kickin' It & the series finale of Pretty Little Liars to one of the best actresses of this or any other generation.
I highly recommend that everyone has to go out & watch this movie at least for Sydney Sweeney's performance, because that woman has a bright future ahead of her.
Dune: Part Two (2024)
GOD TIER CINEMA!!!!!
This was my most anticipated movie of 2024. I finally watched it in the theater on Tuesday & this was literally everything that I wanted it to be & more. Dune: Part Two is one of the greatest movies that I've ever seen in my life as well as one of the best movie theater experiences of my life.
Everything about the filmmaking in this movie was absolutely perfect. The acting, writing, directing, special effects, cinematography & musical score wre executed to perfection from start to finish. Denis Villeneuve has once again proven why he is one of the best filmmakers in the business today.
Inconclusion, Dune: Part Two is the best movie that I've seen in 2024 so far & I don't see any other movie dethroning it from my #1 spot. GO OUT, WATCH IT & BUY IT!!!!!
Madame Web (2024)
WORST THEATRICAL RELEASED SUPERHERO & COMIC BOOK MOVIE EVER!!!!!
This movie was doomed after the atrocious trailer & I've been waiting to watch this movie, just so that I can move on with my life. And after watching the movie, I can safely agree with everyone who says that this is the worst theatrical released Superhero and Comic Book Movie ever made & I'm only saying this because I watched Spider-Man: Lotus last year & that movie was even worse than this movie, but that doesn't make it any better.
Everything about the filmmaking in this movie is some of the worst that I've ever seen in my life & I've seen Jeepers Creepers: Reborn (2022). The camerawork is absolutely amateurish & the edit is abysmal, where they constantly use zooms at random point throughout the runtime. The acting is atrocious from everyone, which hurts because this movie has a lot of great actors including Dakota Johnson, Adam Scott, Emma Roberts, Celeste O'Connor, Isabela Merced, & Sydney Sweeney. Then again, it doesn't help that their dialogue is among some of the worst put onto screen, especially given the fact that the two writers of this movie are the same writers of Morbius (2022). The villain of this movie, played by Tahar Rahim who looks like Jeremy Jahns from YouTube, is the worst villain in any Superhero & Comic Book Movie or TV Show that I've ever seen. With all that being said I'm going to be spoiling major plot points in this movie from this point on in my review.
SPOILER WARNING: To anyone who saw the marketing for this movie, that scene with all the Spider-Woman kicking Ezekiel Sims' butt, yeah that scene last for about 50 seconds & it's all takes place in a premonition that happens within first 19 minutes of this movie. This movie takes place in 2003, so this movie is basically set within the same timeline as Tom Holland's Spider-Man from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but Sony chose to cut out any & all references to Spider-Man & Peter Parker from this movie.
In conclusion, Madame Web (2024) is one of the most cynical & abysmal movies that I've ever seen in my life. I feel terrible for a lot of these actors, because I like a lot of them, especially Sydney Sweeney, none of them deserve to have this movie in their filmography. Sony should be ashamed of themselves for making this movie & at this point Kevin Fiege & Marvel Studios need to take the Spider-Man rights away from Sony, because they clearly can't handle having Spider-Man or any other Superhero if we're being honest with ourselves.
Spider-Man: Lotus (2023)
Worst Superhero & Comic Book Movie EVER!!!!!
This movie is an atrocious against the Superhero & Comic Book Genre. The Director should be ashamed of what they did to the character of Spider-Man & Peter Parker. This was 2-hours of my life that I can never get back & I watched it for free on YouTube & I still want my money back. It baffles me that this movie was even allowed to get onto YouTuhe, especially given the controversy surrounding the director. I'm done with this movie. I swear to God if this director is allowed to make another movie in the future, I'm going to have a heart attack. Don't make that a reality l, don't make that the world that I have to live in.
Totally Killer (2023)
An absolutely delightful treat for the Halloween Season!
As someone who loves these types of horror movies like The Final Girls (2015), Happy Death Day (2017), Happy Death Day 2U (2019), & Freak (2020), I was so excited to see Back to the Future done as a Slasher Movie & this movie was everything that I wanted it to be & more.
Totally Killer (2023) is the perfect movie for this Halloween Season. I've literally rewatched this movie 6 times already & I love every minute of it. Kiernan Shipka & Olivia Holt are both spectacular as the co-leads in the movie & I can't wait for what they do next. These two have come a long way since their Young Lion Days on Disney Channel(Olivia Holt) & Nickelodeon/Mad Men(Kiernan Shipka).
Overall, Totally Killer was #TotallyPhenomenal & you need to watch this movie as soon as possible, especially during the Halloween Season.
See You on Venus (2023)
The perfect romance movie for a Friday night!
For the past 3 years, I've suffered through a lot of bad YA Romance Movies with the Kissing Booth Movies, the After Movies, & most recent Beautiful Disaster, so when the trailer to this movie was released, I was so happy to see that this movie would finally give me the YA Romance Movie that I've been waiting for.
After watching the movie, I can happily say that all of my suffering was worth it. See You on Venus is the Romance Movie that I've been waiting for. There were several moments throughout the movie where I was fighting back tears, especially the ending, where I thought the movie was going in one direction, but it pulled the rug out of me & I was happy crying during that moment. Virginia Gardner & Alex Aiono were so much fun as the movie's leads & their chemistry was perfect throughout the runtime.
Overall, if you're looking for ateen romance movie to watch on a Friday Night, then See You on Venus (2023) is the movie for you. See You on Venus (2023) is easily one of the best movies of 2023 & I'm give it a 10/10.
Boku dake ga inai machi (2016)
A perfect anime!
I first heard about this Anime Mini Series from a YouTuber, so I decided to give it a watch & after watching the Anime, I can easily say that Erased is an absolute masterpiece in both Anime & storytelling.
The story is about a man who goes back in time when he was a little boy in the 80s & he must protect his classmates from being kidnapped & murdered, but he also needs to find out who the killer is & also prevent his mother from being killed as well. This setup is executed to perfection. I love the time-travel & who dunnit aspect of this Mini Series. There are some twist & turns within the 12 episodes & the way that the show ends is again perfection.
Overall, Erased (2016) is a masterclass of both Anime & the murder-mystery genre. If you haven't seen this Series yet, then you are doing yourself a great displeasure. Go watch it NOW!!!!!
The Flash (2023)
One of the best DCEU Movies!
This was a movie that I had some interest in watching & after watching it, I can say that this movie was phenomenal!
Despite the controversy surrounding the lead actor, I found Miller's portrayal of both Barry Allens to be great. It was great to see Michael Keaton as Batman again & I was especially impressed with Sasha Calle as Supergirl. The one issue that I definitely noticed in the movie was the CGI, but to be fair, that's an issue with all of Andi Muschietti's movies, so that didn't really bother me.
Overall, I had a absolute blast with The Flash (2023), & if you're able to put your issues with Ezra Miller aside then you'll definitely enjoy the movie.
The Spectacular Spider-Man (2008)
BEST MARVEL TV SHOW EVER!!!!!
When I was a boy, I remember coming across this show back in 2008, & really enjoying what I saw. So, I decided to give this show another watch & actually finish watching the show in it's entirety. After finishing the show, I can tell you that The Spectacular Spider-Man is not only the best TV Show based on a Marvel Comic, but it's the best adaptation of a Marvel Comic ever!
There wasn't one moment where I was bored throughout my binge section of this show. Josh Keaton & Lacey Chabert are the best, but they are my favorite portrayals of both Peter Parker/Spider-Man & Gwen Stacy respectively. It's so good that I'm little pissed that it got cancelled, but for what I got from this show is good enough for me.
If you're a fan of Spider-Man or Marvel Comics in general & you haven't watch this show, then what are you doing with your life, you need watch The Spectacular Spider-Man, because it is a absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023)
One of the Greatest Animated & Superhero Movies of All Time
As a fan of Spider-Man, I was invested in watching this movie, especially since I really enjoyed Into the Spider-Verse back in 2018. After watching Across the Spider-Verse, I can easily say that this movie was phenomenal in every way possible from beginning to end. It's easily my 2nd favorite Spider-Man Movie just behind Spider-Man 2 (2004). I can honestly say that if Beyond the Spider-Verse is just as phenomenal or even better than this movie, then the Spider-Verse Trilogy will forever go down in history as one of the greatest trilogies in cinematic history. This movie is absolutely a must watch for both Superhero & Animated movie fans.
A Perfect 10/10!!!!!
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)
What a phenomenal conclusion to these amazing characters!
In 2014, the world was introduced to a group of misfits named "The Guardians of the Galaxy" & the movie blew away audiences around the world. Vol. 2 (2017) was a huge stepdown from the first movie with it's unnecessarily mean spirited comedy. In 2022, our guardians took a step in the right direction with the Christmas Special! Finally, we've arrived at the concluding chapter in 2023 & it was phenomenal!
Vol. 3 (2023) was everything that you would want to a final conclusion to these amazing characters & their journey. The action & comedy is on point with these characters. One character in particular & what they do with this character was one of the most emotional parts of the movie. Vol. 3 is easily one of the best movies in the entire MCU & it's easily the best entry in the Guardians Trilogy.
John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)
JOHN WICK IS BACK!!!!!
This was my most anticipated movie of 2023, & John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) both lived up & exceed all of my expectations. John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) is not only the best movie of 2023, not only is it the best movie of the John Wick Franchise, but it is one of the greatest Action Movies of all time & is possibly the greatest movie that Keanu Reeves has ever done in his career.
The action & violence is outstandingly phenomenal! There are so many phenomenal standout action scenes, that I can't name all of them. One of my favorite scenes is where they are paying homage to Cowboy Bebop.
So if I didn't sell you enough with those statements, John Wick; Chapter 4 (2023) is a masterpiece of the action genre. It is the best movie of 2023 & I believe that no movie will even come close to besting it for the rest of the year!
Scream VI (2023)
BEST SCREAM SEQUEL EVER!!!!!
As a fanatic of the Scream franchise, Scream VI (2023) gave me everything that I would've wanted from a follow-up to Scream (2022). This is easily the best Scream Sequel of the franchise. Also, finally, a slasher movie that sets itself in new York is actually taking place in New York & not lying to the fans about it, talking about you Jason Takes Manhattan. The kills are brutal & awesome. Melissa barrera & Jenna Ortega continue to elevate themselves as legendary Scream Queens of the Horror Genre. I honestly can't wait for Scream VII. Overall, Scream VI 92023) is easily the best movie of 2023 so far.
Love Daily (2018)
Disney Channel & Nickelodeon have fallen in love & risen to ACE Status.
I saw the trailer on YouTube a couple of months ago & saw a lot of former Disney Channel & Nickelodeon Actors in it, so I decided to give the show a chance. After watching the series, I have re-watched this series multiple times.
It was cool to see these actors from my childhood doing something outside from Disney Channel & Nickelodeon. My favorite episode was The Ballerina with Kelli Berglund. It's also cool to know that some of these actors, in particular Kelli Berglund, Peyton List, & Laura Marano, have left their Young Lion Status in the past & now have risen to their ACE Status.
Overall, Love Daily is a fun TV Series that is easy to binge watch. If you're looking for a TV Series to binge watch or you want to see actors from your favorite childhood TV shows, then Love Daily is the perfect show for you.
Lab Rats (2012)
BEST DISNEY SITCOM EVER!!!!!
As a young boy, I watched a lot of Disney Channel & Disney XD, but a lot of the shows that I watched as a kid have not translated well to shows that I enjoy as an adult. There are only a select few Disney Channel Sitcoms that I do like as an adult & Lab Rats (2012-2016) is one of those shows that I do enjoy as an adult. So, I decided to rewatched Lab Rats from the start & I will said that Lab Rats (2012-2016) is my personal favorite TV Show to air on either Disney Channel & Disney XD. I enjoyed all 4 seasons to varying degrees. Season 2 was my least favorite season, while Season 3 & 4 are my favorite seasons, especially Season 4.
Positives:
The comedy is good & the actor do a great at selling most of the humor. There are some emotional moments that hit hard on & some that actually made me cry. The fight are a lot better than I expected them to be, especially from a Disney sitcom. My overall favorite & standout characters of the show are Bree Davenport & Adam Davenport. Spencer Boldman as Adam Davenport is easily one of the funniest TV characters that I've seen in my life. I found Bree Davenport to being very funny & sometimes a total badass, also she played by my current celebrity crush as well as the most drop dead gorgeous woman that I've ever seen in my life, Kelli Berglund.
Negatives:
There are certain points during the show where the comedy can extremely cringe worthy, then again it is a sitcom made by Disney, so I'm not surprised it, but it's the type of comedy honestly is the reason why I'm not a fan of sitcoms anymore. Also, I cannot stand the characters of Donald Davenport, Eddie, & especially Principal Perry. Donald Davenport is one of the most egotistic, self-indulgent, self-entitled, & pretentious characters that I've seen in a TV Show. Eddie is an annoy A. I., who always sticks his wires into other people's businesses. Finally, Principal Perry is the one of the most agonizing annoying characters that I've ever seen in any TV Show, especially when I consider the fact that she's played by Naruto of all people.
Overall even with those negatives, I still do enjoy Lab Rats (2012-2016) a lot & It is easily one of the best Disney Sitcoms that I've seen in a long time.
Halloween Ends (2022)
A phenomenal conclusion to the Halloween Franchise!
Halloween Ends (2022) was my most anticipated Horror Movie of 2022 & it delivered in every way possible. I've heard how divisive this movie is from the audience & I totally understand.
David Gordon Green is something that I believe knew would either please or piss off a lot of fans in regards to one character. If anyone hates this movie for that one character that you have every right to hate it, but for me, as someone whose been waiting for this finale since Halloween (2018), I was on board with what David Gordon Green did in this movie.
Overall, Halloween Ends (2022) was awesome & completely unexpected, but most of all it brought the Halloween Franchise to a satisfying conclusion.
Werewolf by Night (2022)
Something fresh & new from the MCU!
I've been a huge fan of the MCU since Iron Man (2008), but all of the MCU's recent project have either been awesome or I just don't care to watch it, especially with the TV Shows in Phase 4, so when I heard about this movie, I was both excited & curious to watch it.
After watching the movie, I can say that Werewolf by Night (2022) was awesome. It was so cool to see the MCU do a old school throwback to the Classical Universal Monster Movies from the early 1990s. The action & violence was awesome & there was some light humor, but it didn't take away from the movie. My only issue is that I wished that this movie was longer, but it's not a big issue for me.
Overall, if you're looking for something different & new, while also being old school from the MCU, then I highly recommend that you watch Werewolf by Night (2022)
Now Apocalypse (2019)
WHOA!!!!!
Finished watching this TV Show a while ago & I seriously have no idea what I just saw. I will say that Kelli Berglund was right, when she said that Now Apocalypse (2019) is a straight up Sex Dungeon Show.
Moving on from all the Sex stuff, which is about 90% of the show, the two character that stood out most to me were Ulysses Zane played by Avan Jogia & Carly Carlson played played Kelli Berglund, but that's mostly because I remember these two actors from their days on Disney Channel & Nickelodeon. My favorite character was Carly Carlson, mostly because of Kelli Berglund, who played Bree Davenport on Lab Rats & now plays Crystal Tyler on Heels, also Kelli Berglund is super gorgeous in this show. Kelli Berglund could literally Sex Dungeon any day.
Overall, if you want to watch a TV Show where the main plot is basically sex, then Now Apocalypse (2019) is the show for you.
