Nope
Director Jordan Peele strikes again with another phenomenal movie, challenging the very way we think and feel about the film industry, animal cruelty, and diversity in – NOPE. Jordan Peele has quickly become one of my favorite movie directors since he released “Get Out” and “US” which both took the film industry by storm, first in 2017 and 2019. And in this masterpiece, nothing less but greatness should be expected from this young director.

Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank
After much deliberation with my consciousness, I have decided to watch – Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank by directors Rob Minkoff, Mark Koetsier, and Chris Bailey. The film itself was released on the 15th of July 2022 by distributing companies – Nickelodeon Movies, Paramount Pictures, and Huayi Brothers which should speak for itself, however, the reviews online kept me from watching it right away. I was so excited when I read about who would be at the helm of this film, as it’s from the directors that have worked on giants like “The Lion King”, “Oliver and Company” and so much more, movies that I grew up watching…

Jujutsu Kaisen 0
After waiting for what felt like a year, I finally got the chance to watch the highly rated movie – Jujutsu Kaisen 0, by director Sunghoo Park. As the title of the movie explains, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 begins probably a year or so before the animation was released, so our favorite pink-haired protagonist, Itadori Yuji is nowhere to be found in this film. However, we are instead given a new protagonist in Yuta Okkotsu. A young boy who is cursed with the spirit of Rika Orimoto, who follows him everywhere and if provoked, will gladly annihilate anyone and anything that dares to harm Yuta. But since Yuta Okkotsu…
