Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

Fantastic third installment to the Tom Holland SpiderMan movies

[15 December 2021]

If you went into this movie expecting Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire to show up... well, I won't tell you anything because this is a SPOILER FREE review.

I'm not just saying this as a Marvel fan, but I'm also saying this as a huge movie buff- Spiderman No Way Home was EASILY one of the best movies to have come out in 2021.

Filled with laughs, action, and incredibly sad moments, No Way Home does not disappoint. The acting, the storyline, EVERYTHING was the perfect setting for a Marvel movie.

I'm gonna keep this review short and just give everyone who is going to watch this movie a quick word of advice- watch BOTH end credits after the movie (you won't regret it).

The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

Great conclusion to epic trilogy.

[28 September 2021]

I feel like Batman Begins and this movie are on the same level. They're both spectacular, but there are better movies in the trilogy.

The role of Bane was great. His voice was a bit annoying, but overall Tom Hardy did a good job.

Anne Hathaway did a good job as Catwoman as well, and the tension between her and Batman makes my heart throb. Speaking of, however, Batman was the most sympathetic in the movie. Mainly because (spoiler) he dies at the end.

Overall, I didn't have many issues with the movie, as it is one of my all time favorite movies.

Great conclusion to the epic trilogy, which I would 100% definitely recommend.

The Dark Knight (2008)

AMAZING. BEST IN THE TRILOGY.

[28 September 2021]

All three of the films in the trilogy are fantastic, and reach similar levels of greatness- BUT... Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker absolutely blew my mind. His intelligent but insane mind is portrayed so well, and his reasons for terrorizing Gotham are completely and only driven by madness.

Top 3 Jokers (haven't seen the Joaquin Phoenix one).

1. Heath Ledger 2. Jack Nicholson 3. Jared Leto (horrible)

Moving aside from the Joker himself, however, the movie itself was also fantastic. Christian Bale continues to outstand his performance, and so do the rest of the cast from the first movie.

Overall, this movie is definitely in my top 5, and it's pretty much the best in the trilogy.

Batman Begins (2005)

Worst of the trilogy, but still a cinematic masterpiece.

[28 September 2021]

Christopher Nolan really outdid himself on this one, and so did everyone else involved in this movie. The trilogy is easily one of the best of all time, and I barely have any complaints.

Before I explain the good parts of the film, I'd like to discuss the one problem I think several people will have with it. The story. I, personally, didn't have an issue with it. In fact, I thought it was very well delivered. However, if you are looking for a more "Classic Batman" movie, this one isn't for you. Scarecrow doesn't show himself fully in costume until around the last third of the movie, and the film doesn't have Robin either. It focuses more on Bruce Wayne and the amount of effort and redemption it took for him to become the masked vigilante we all know and love.

If you're more interested in the violence and the criminals in the film, I'd recommend "The Dark Knight" or "The Dark Knight Rises." Or, go check out Batman 1989. Absolute classic.

Now that I've cleared the issues with the movie, I'd like to discuss the positive.

Christian Bale's performance as Batman is absolutely badass. The way he explores himself throughout the movie is such an emotional journey. Adding onto this as well, Alfred and Lucious, the two sympathetic older characters, are both absolutely amazing, lovable characters. Gordon is also a pretty good character with an interesting relationship with the Batman.

Overall, this is one of my favorite movies of all time, but it doesn't beat the rest in the series.

Rick and Morty (2013– )

Dan Harmon's edgy and witty adult animation show exceeds expectations

[4 April 2021]

Everyone who watches this show probably turns off the TV after seeing one of the episodes, and thinks, "What the hell is going on?" Rick and Morty is an adult animation show which came to adult swim in 2013, but is now on it's 5th season with a rating of 9.2 on IMDB.

To say the least, this show was a wild ride.

The science, universe, as well as the concepts of the show are all very well-written, and it leaves the viewer with tons of questions and confusing thoughts.

The jokes are hilarious, with dozens of sex jokes and swearing. The whole show is a raunchy piece of art.

Adding on, the main characters Rick and Morty are both very well developed, and the other people in the story come off as funny and likable as well.

The only thing that catches me off guard at times, but is enjoyable as well, is how hard you need to focus to understand the storyline. Alternate realities, weird perverted aliens, it takes a surprisingly high IQ to understand what's going on.

As someone who follows the storyline fairly well, however, I don't have many complaints, and I enjoy the show very much.

Warning, however, wouldn't recommend the show for younger audiences.

Stranger Things (2016–2025)

Stylish Scifi Show Set In The 80s Does not Disappoint

[15 May 2020]

Stranger Things is a Scifi Horror show about a group of kids whose friend goes missing. Over time, they figure out he is stuck in another dimension called the Upside Down. There are several monsters in this world that terrorize the kids, and their family members. The show is most likely my all time favorite show, and I have considered rewatching it. The show has so many genres mixed together, and gives off a really nice 80s vibe. It's hard not to like it. I don't want to say more because I do not want to spoil anything that happens in season three. All I'm gonna say is you should catch up before season 4 releases.

The Office (2005–2013)

Greg Daniels Makes Amazing Content!

[15 May 2020]

I'm not giving this a 10/10 because I'm a fan. I'm giving this a 10/10 because this show deserves it. The Office is filled with quirky jokes, awkward interviews, and much, much more! The best part is, I'm not the only one who enjoys this show. I bet if you look through other user reviews, you'll find that the larger amount of them are giving the show good reviews. If you are reading this because you haven't watched the show, I say you should try watching the first episode before the year ends. The Office is leaving netflix. If you have the app, you should at least try the show it before it leaves. The plot of the show is pretty much what it sounds like; it's about an office. But it's a mockumentary which makes it extra funny. Overall, this show is amazing.

It's A Dog's Life (2020)

The show is really good so far!

[15 May 2020]

After watching the first episode, I was excited to see the second one. Disney plus streams the episodes weekly, so sadly, I cannot binge the show, but I will watch this show whenever I can. This is the fourth disney plus original that has launched that I am really excited about! The show is about dogs (obviously) and what jobs they do. For example, one dog helps researchers find orca poop. The host in this show is none other than Bill Farmer, the guy who voiced goofy! I really recommend this show, and can't wait for the next episode to release.

Zombieland: Double Tap (2019)

Lots Of Fun In Zombie Comedy

[21 February 2020]

Zombieland: Double Tap, is about a group of people trying to survive the Zombie Apocalypse. I don't watch many zombie movies, but this seems like a very basic storyline for this type of movie. The violence in the film is what makes it good. It can sometimes be funny when they kill zombies, since it is so absurd, you just randomly laugh out loud. Besides that, there are many jokes that refer to the first one (for example: The famous Bill Murray scene), and they do show how Bill Murray got introduced to the Zombie Apocalypse in the end credits. Other jokes include a new character, Madison, who is supposed to be a clueless, dumb, spoiled girl stereotype, which they use as a good running joke. They also introduce new types of zombies in the movie. One of my personal favorites, "The Homer." The Homer is a lazy type of zombie who is pretty much completely harmless. The character in the film is only shown about 3 or 4 times, but it is still hilarious. Moving on, the main threat in the movie is the T-800 (named after the Terminator), which is a specific zombie type that is harder to kill. In the end of the movie, massive amounts of T-800 come to eat brains. In conclusion, Zombieland is a great movie about teamwork and comedy. There is one last thing I want to add. This movie, I would recommend for ages 12+, depending on how well your child can handle violence and language. There is not much sex in it, but they do occasionally drop an innuendo bomb, and characters do sleep with each other. Moaning is heard. Besides that, the movie is a good film that you can enjoy with teens and possibly older kids.

Tall Girl (2019)

Don't listen to the haters

[14 September 2019]

It's not a bad movie. I mean, I wouldn't call it my FAVORITE, but it was definitely worth the watch. The movie is about a girl who is rreeaallyy tall and struggles being tall because she keeps on being teased by various people. Then, a new exchange student shows up, and "the tall girl" (Jodi is her name) ends up having a crush on him. Now, it ends up in sort of a love triangle, because (this is NOT a spoiler, you get to know this the moment her crush enters the movie) one of Jodi's friends is crushing on Jodi, and makes it very clear. This puts him in a tight spot, but don't worry, everything gets figured out. The funny part about this movie is that Jodi is much taller than everyone, and it's made into sort of a dramedy. So Jodi can be funny, but it's sad she's tall because she gets made fun of. Overall, I think the movie is kid friendly (If any parents are reading this), and if you want a nice movie to watch with the family, that's filled with positive messages, watch this one. Overall, it was a good movie.

Twelve Forever (2019)

Sweet Cartoon Network Series has lots of laughs and lovable characters

[4 August 2019]

12 Forever is a Netflix Original that I actually ended up enjoying. Usually, I don't watch Cartoon Network, I mean, Gumball and Teen Titans are originals, but besides that, I don't really watch it, so it was a pleasant surprise when I watched it...and liked it! The show has many themes, such as keeping your childhood and friendship. The finale of season 1 was amazing and emotional, when Reggie (the main character) finally changed into a more mature version of herself after a fight with the "Butt Witch" who wishes to get rid of Reggie and her friends by giving them challenging and make-up filled obstacles. The screen leaves us with "Endless," Reggie's childhood play Island, slowly fading away into a bright light, assuming that Reggie has matured and does not need Endless anymore. Overall, I enjoyed this show that is filled with sweet messages and sweet characters.

The Seven Deadly Sins: Signs of Holy War (2014–2021)

Hilarious, violent, and interesting all at the same time makes this one of the best anime shows of all time!

[3 August 2019]

One of my friends recommended this show to me on netflix, and I have to admit, it's really good. The story centers around a group of misfits called the "Seven Deadly Sins." Their antagonists are the "Holy Knights" who have framed the sins with the thought that they are plotting to overthrow the kingdom. The main character is a bartender who is always mistaken for a little kid, but is actually none other than the leader of the sins, Sir Melodias. The story begins with melodias in his bar(The Boar Hat) Serving what he says is "The World's best Beer" when a large metal knight walks into the place. The machine falls down, and melodias takes a closer look at it. Everyone else in the bar has fled, and the holy knights are looking for the machine, but melodias, being his confident self, decides to take a peek underneath the mask of the knight. This is where we meet our second protagonist, princess Elizabeth, who at first, seems to have little power, but ends up proving them wrong. Melodias is kind to Elizabeth, and they both end up developing a strong relationship. The other main characters are Diane, Ban, King, Gowther, and Merlin, who are all memebers of the sins. There are other people who end up being nicer than thought, but I'm not gonna spoil that for you. All you really need to know from here, is that the main villain is called Hendrickson and he has a very sinister plot in hand. Overall, I love this show and am most definitely going to watch season 2 and 3.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)

Good Godzilla Movie

[28 June 2019]

This movie is worth the watch. I was excited to see it because it had the same actress who played eleven in it, and I had never seen a Godzilla movie ever in my life. When the movie started, I quickly realized I had a lot of catching up to do with Godzilla, and that if I wanted to see God v Kong, I should probably see Godzilla 2014 first. You see, this movie is a follow up to what's starting to become a major titan series. I mean, we had Kong Skull Island (Which I saw) and more. But if you see the movie, I have to warn you one thing: Mothula (one of the titans) is gross.

Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019)

Amazing Movie! Just as good as the first one!

[28 June 2019]

For those who give this movie a 4/10 or a 5/10, I'm sorry to you buddy, but you don't have good taste. This movie was incredible! Of course, there were some predictable parts, including the twist, but all in all, it was an epic movie. In the beginning, it had a hilarious memoriam for the superheroes we lost in endgame, and they continue throughout the movie to dramatically and hilariously talk about the effects of both "infinity war" and "endgame." One example of this would be where half of the High schoolers are five years older than the other half of the High schoolers. If they disappeared during the events of "Infinity War" and "Endgame," they would call it being "Blipped." Another example of a reference to endgame was Iron Man's death. His death developed Peter into his own sort of Iron Man. He even got Iron Man's glasses. In one scene, there is also a reference to the first Iron Man movie, so if you haven't seen that, you should see it before you go see Far From Home. Now to tell you if this movie is kid friendly. Personally, I think that this one has a darker tone because it involves illusions(Green Fog, Spiderman trapped in snow globe, etc.) since the villain has the technology to do that, but all in all, if your child is older than 9, he/she should be able to contain it.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018)

Best Harry Potter Movie so far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[23 November 2018]

Fantastic Beasts: The crimes of Grindelwald is a movie about Newt Schmander and how he is trying to capture/kill Grindlewald. Newt is a bit of a sensitive type, so he is not sure if he is up to it. But after some time, he does go after Grindlewald, and the exciting stuff comes in. Unlike the other Harry Potter movies (not including fantastic beasts 1), the script is not written based on a book. And this is also the second movie the fantastic beasts series and it will most likely get a sequel. Sadly though, there are some sad parts like Rita Lestrange's death and Queenie going to the dark side(although she'll probably become good again). And although this does not decrease the amount of how much I like this movie, I want to warn all the parents with sensitive children out there that there are sad scenes and death. But all in all, it was a grrrreeeeaattttt movie!!!!!

The Boss Baby (2017)

Awesome movie!!!

[25 March 2017]

The Boss Baby is an excellent movie for kids and a great movie for families too. When I saw the trailer I REALLY wanted to see the movie and I felt like the happiest person on Earth when I saw it. The movie has funny characters, babies, and more things that would make anyone laugh. Most of all, I enjoyed the movie because of the relationships and jokes. The Boss Baby is sure to make brothers and sisters get along.
