Doctor Strange in the multiverse of Madness showed me a vision of the MCU I could enjoy

It’s a shame it doesn’t stick the landing though; also, spoilers galore. It’s strange trying to review Marvel movies from my position. I am someone who doesn’t really care about Marvel, but a lot of the creators that I love are fans or accept Marvel’s offer to work with them. So, even if I don’t […]

The Matrix Resurrections

Inevitable. Once the announcement for a new Matrix was made, and I realized that it was not a hoax and that it was actually happening, my mind began to ponder what would a new Matrix movie look like in 2021. After re-watching the original trilogy, I went to the theater expecting something that felt like […]

Concluding the Saw Saga for now (Jigsaw and Spiral reviews)

Only the latest movie, Spiral, made 37 million from […]

Rewatching and ranking the entire Saw franchise to prepare for Spiral

Want to play a game? The first Saw movie was a surprise hit. The (then) up-and-comers filmmakers took a budget of around a million and brought back an excess of 100 of millions in returns. They went on to do great things with both working on the Insidious franchise, while James Wan making the Conjuring […]

Maria Versus Furie

Furie wins. Thank you for reading! Once again, I am inclined to compare and contrast two similar movies with their difference being one works and the other fails at almost everything it tries. This time, I’ll focus on two martial-arts, female-lead action movies with roughly the same plot and same “limitations”, but end up with […]

Super Me discussion

Super Me is one of the latest Netflix Original movies to be released. As a general rule of thumb, I always go into something with an open-mind, but Netflix Originals have soured me many times before so I’m always warry and keep my expectations in check – which could be the reason I am less […]

Corporate wants you to tell the difference between these two pictures If you’ve stumbled upon this article, trying to figure out the difference between The Yin-Yang master: Dreams of Eternity and The YinYang master, don’t worry you are not alone in being confused! Somehow, Netflix released two movies with the same title, on the same […]

Sound of Metal movie and acting discussion

The upcoming Oscar 2021 nominations now revealed and, as predicted by many, one of the standout movies was Sound of Metal earning six nominations (best picture, actor, supporting actor, original screenplay, sound, and film editing) and ending up joint second for most nominations behind the ludicrous 10 nominations earned by Mank. I put off watching […]
