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…

One Piece Episode 1004 – An Inherited Technique, Unleashing Oden’s Secret Swordplay.
One Piece Episode 1004 – An Inherited Technique, Unleashing Oden’s Secret Swordplay can very well be the best Christmas gift from Author Eiichiro Oda and production company, Toei Animations as it is one of my favorite moments in the Land of Wano. With the castle in chaos and Queen raining hell on enemy and ally with his new plague bullets, turning all who have been shot by them into blue Oni looking creatures and going berserk on the ground floors. The war is far from over, Luffy and Sanji are on their way to the roof to assist Oden’s retainers who are currently in a fierce duel against…

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…

Demon Slayer: Entertainment District Arc – Episode 1
Demon Slayer’s new Season 2 has finally released its first episode of the Entertainment District Arc and what a treat it was, fans were given 40+ minutes special, consisting of 2 episodes into one. How we would love it if all other episodes were released in the same way. Though it is the first episode, I will only review Demon Slay again once the season ends. There is a very high expectation for this season with many fans across the world placing this arc as the best in the series, so you bet I’ll try to contain myself till the end lol… We finally get a chance to see Muzan…
