Sing 2
Buster Moon and his all-star cast of animal performers prepare to launch a dazzling stage extravaganza in the glittering entertainment capital of the world. There’s just one hitch – he has to persuade the world’s most reclusive rock star Clay Calloway to join them. However, before his journey can fully begin Buster Moon is filled with doubt on whether he can deliver this masterpiece on the biggest stage in the Entertainment Capital of the world. But what Buster Moon seems to be forgetting is that it’s not about whether the world or society need to make you feel worth it, it’s about whether or not you believe that you are…

Cruella
Estella is a young and genius-minded girl who’s determined to make a name for herself in the fashion world. After the death of her mother, she meets a pair of thieves who take her in and create their own little family. In all honesty, this could be Disney’s best live-action remake, the story is beautifully portrayed, the pacing is just right, we are shown a side to Cruella that we didn’t know from them the 1996 film or the 1961 animated movie. It’s quite amazing how we judge a person for who they are now without understanding their upbringing and the trials they had to face. From the 1996 film…

Encanto
The Madrigals are a magical family who lives hidden in the mountains of Colombia in a charming place called the Encanto. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift for every child except Mirabel. I’ve seen a lot of Disney movies in the past how many years but none have made me shed tears as many times like this one and that says a lot on its own. This film is so beautiful, the amount of detail on each character is extraordinarily remarkable. I found myself falling in love with the Columbian culture of family and how different everyone is. The diversity…

Seal Team
Fearless seal Quinn assembles a squad of misfit recruits to stand up to ruthless sharks with razor-sharp teeth and reclaim the open sea. Before I begin the review, I’d like to honor the director Creig Cameron for his first big work with Netflix and for representing South African in the animation industry. It’s no joke when I say South Africa hasn’t put in enough work nor planted enough seeds when it comes to the animation industry, however, after seeing this film, I can happily say, we are on our way. Quinn is one of those seals that appear once in a lifetime, valuing his friends more than himself and…

The Matrix: Resurrections
To find out if his reality is a physical or mental construct, Mr. Anderson, aka Neo, will have to choose to follow the white rabbit once more. However, the matrix has grown stronger, more adept, and more secure than the world bank. Lana Wachowski returns with another banger to one of the most iconic movies of the 2000s, “The Matrix Resurrections” which is more of a means to an end for those who were curious about the events after Neo had fought with the machines. So most of our questions had been answered by the end of the film, firstly that Neo had lost to the machines after the third…

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City
Welcome to Raccoon City, once the booming home of pharmaceutical giant Umbrella Corp. The company’s exodus left the city a wasteland, a dying town with great evil brewing below the surface. When that evil is unleashed, a group of survivors must work together to uncover the truth behind Umbrella and make it through the night. Johannes Roberts claimed that this film would do the games justice however I have to disagree with that statement of his. For a man that claimed to play the games from his high school days starting with the fourth installment, Welcome to Raccoon City was a bit of a letdown, though there were some memorable…

Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin
Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin is the seventh installment in the Paranormal Activity series. Margot, a young woman who was abandoned by her mother as a baby, travels to a secluded Amish community with a documentary film crew seeking answers about her mother and extended family. I’ve never seen the earlier installments before this one yet still found myself intrigued and glad that it doesn’t require me to watch the previous version before this one. I love the elements on which the film was founded, a mother abandoning her daughter at a hospital, caught on the hospital’s CCTV cameras and years later the once little girl wanting to know…

The Last Duel
The Last Duel is a phenomenal film in the amount of detail portrayed by all three parties’ perspectives, The Husband, The Accused, and The Victim. The husband, Jean de Carrouges (played by Matt Damon) is known throughout France as a brave and skilled knight who feared nothing and would gladly fight till his last breath in the name of the King. The accused, Jacques Le Gris (played by Adam Driver) is a squire whose intelligence and eloquence make him one of the most admired nobles in the court. The victim, Marguerite de Carrouges (played by Jodie Comer) is the daughter of the controversial known traitor Robert de Thibouville who had…

James Bond: No Time To Die
Whoever said you could live a peaceful life after retiring from the MI6 was mistaken, hence Bond finds out the hard way that life after the secret service is no such thing. The first scene of a young Madeleine Swann is pivotal to the story, it not only informs us of her background but also intensifies the reason for her actions up till now. As Bond is enjoying his time after retiring from the secret service, the couple’s plans are short-lived when James is ambushed by the agents of Spectre. James thinks of no one that could have exposed his whereabouts but the person next to him, Madeleine Swann. Madeleine…

Venom: Let There Be Carnage
As per Andy Serkis’s words, if you are in a relationship and your partner is driving you up the wall yet can’t live without them then Venom: Let there be carnage is the perfect couples therapy session, with popcorn and soft drinks at your own expense lol… I can not begin to explain what a joke this film is, where do I even start? oh yes, how about we start with the first 30 mins of the film with nothing happening, we are shown scenes between Venom and Eddie in a constant tug of war on whether it’s right to eat humans or keep the chicken alive lol… Tom Hardy…
