POKEMON: Detective Pikachu – Delivers a fun mystery story with lots of Pokemon! Win! Win!
Despite my very basic knowledge of Pokemon, I honestly enjoyed it. It had Solid world building, great use of CGI and overall color grading of the film was easy on the eyes. It had this beautiful neon noir hint to it. Characters seemed like they came right out of a manga.

Movie Review: The Perfect Date – nothing new but Centineo and Marano are charming together.
“The Perfect Date” offers nothing new as a Romantic Comedy, in fact it bears a lot of similarities with Noah Centineo’s debut “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before”. Yes, Centineo is still charming as the ideal boy next door, here he plays Brooks Rattigan, a middle class high school student aiming to go to Yale. He studies hard, and works hard.

Breakthrough – Movie Review – a timely reminder that miracles do happen.
What I liked best about the Christian Drama based on real life events was that it had a few surprises up its sleeves. When you see the trailer and find out about the synopsis you’d think it would follow a straight forward plot but I enjoyed the added layers it had and it made the film even more interesting.

Us Movie Review
Incredible performances from the cast all around. Lupita Nyong’o is a force as she plays a terrified mother protecting her children and a beyond eerie doppelganger which has her transforming her voice, stance and movements, as she glides as if in dance in a room, holding on to golden shears, not afraid to strike her prey. Her transformation is something too terrible to describe.

Isn’t It Romantic Movie Review
It’s amusing to see the film make fun of all the clichés and troupes in Romantic Comedies, from the gay best friend to the catty female colleague, make over montages and yes, even the super feel good songs.

Escape Room -Fun at the start, gets weird in the end.
A fun B movie you can enjoy with friends, especially if you like these kinds of films. It was amusing to hear your fellow movie goers try to solve the rooms, of course there’s you just sitting down and not getting it, haha so you already know who in your group survives and who doesn’t.

The Favourite-is wicked, witty and oh so much fun!

Movie Review: Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse
The first time I got really excited about “Into the Spider-Verse” was when I saw the trailer on the big screen, like “Woah!” it was incredible!
The colors, the details, each Spider-Man was rendered in a different style to indicate that they were from another universe. The unique use of comic book style sound effects which were incorporated into the animation was a great nod to the origins of these films.

“WIDOWS” is a gift that keeps on giving, it is a relentless thriller filled with twists and surprises. I don’t think I’ve gasped in surprise and/or horror as much as I did in this movie.

Movie Review: Ralph Breaks The Internet: Wreck It Ralph 2
The film has so many lessons (both for kids and adults) that a discussion with your kids after the movie is highly recommended. I appreciate how they touched on the good and bad side of the internet, albeit lightly. The bigger take away lesson from the movie, is one about friendship.

Movie Review: The Girl In The Spider’s Web
The film has a bit of an exciting “James Bond” feel to it and was definitely more exciting than the last Bond movie. Lisbeth is definitely an interesting character to follow. She operates outside of the law, is a wicked hacker and her “screw you” attitude and penchant for black clothes and junk food is definitely refreshing from your typical action heroes.

Movie Review: Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
As a reader of the books, J. K. Rowling loves her details, the little clues she drops here and there for the big unravelling in the end. It’s a satisfying reading experience because you can go through the details, the plot and subplots at your own pace and you can go back a few pages if you weren’t sure.

Movie Review: OVERLORD
I love how in the end, Ford tells Boyce “our side can’t have it too”. “It” of course being the serum and technology to create these monsters, as if the jaded Ford already knows what America would do if they also had that kind of power in their hands.
