In preparation for Endgame, I binged (nearly) all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Here are my reviews. Iron Man (2008) February 8, 2019 “Thank you for saving my life.” “Don’t waste it.” An outstanding film to kick off the MCU, and a great way to kick off my MCU rewatch. The MCU begins in the realm […]
Captain Marvel holds up against the best of the instalments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Brie Larson triumphs in the role of Carol Danvers. Captain Marvel is a breathtakingly powerful yet humanly imperfect heroine. We have waited too long for a female-led superhero film, but Captain Marvel was well worth the wait that shouldn’t have […]
On Thursday night I went to see the new instalment in Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts series. I went in with awfully low expectations. Although I enjoyed it more than I expected to, I left the theatre feeling confused and cheated. Prior to the film’s release, its media coverage, trailers, and marketing revealed some rather interesting plot […]
Sony Studios, pitch meeting for the new Venom film. I’d like to think it went something like this: “Okay, we can’t even hope to compete with the MCU, especially in the same year Infinity War is going to be released, so let’s just have fun with this.” Venom was a superhero movie unlike any other… except […]
The Captain Marvel official trailer finally dropped today. I decided to film my reactions. The sound quality is really bad in spots and the lighting isn’t the best, and it took me way too long to just synchronize the audio and video files, but I needed to get familiar with my new video editing software […]
*I’ve listened to the pre-released singles already 1. (F*ck a) Silver Lining When this was released I enjoyed it, but nothing about it really stood out to me. The horn writing is unfortunately buried underneath the thick texture. It’s funky and the bass line gets me moving. 2. Say Amen (Saturday Night) This track came […]
SPOILERS. I don’t know if I’m pleasantly surprised or in complete and utter shock. Infinity War was two and a half hours of non-stop, perpetual, exhilarating action that kept me — quite literally — on the edge of my seat the entire duration of the film. When I walked into the theatre, I was emotionally […]
10 years. 18 films. It has all come down to this. Infinity War was a wonderful culmination of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Directors Joe and Anthony Russo delivered a film that is equal parts comedy, action, and raw emotion. Surrounded by an IMAX theatre full of die-hard fans is the way to experience this film. […]
I’ve seen The Last Jedi three times now, and I think that I’m beginning to understand the film. Rian Johnson took Star Wars in a completely different direction than the previous eight films, and audiences were not ready for it. I certainly wasn’t ready for it. I saw it opening night, in IMAX 3D, and […]
I remember going to see Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief in theatres in 2010. I remember absolutely loving it. I remember picking up the book immediately after, quickly finishing it, and realizing that the movie was absolutely awful in comparison. Since then, I have read the original Percy Jackson and the Olympians series more […]
