The Bad Guys
Director Pierre Perifel’s latest animation film, The Bad Guys merge bringing in the new with the old in art style and perspective. The Bad Guys distributed by Universal Pictures was released on the 31st of March 2022 by Universal Pictures. The film is based on the Australian author of children’s books, Aaron Blabey. Straight off the bat, the first element that caught my attention about this film was its old yet crisp art style which had me reminiscing a lot about my childhood. The characters themselves are all animals with their unique traits that I believe someone, somewhere out there in the world, most definitely has some kind of phobia…

The Umbrella Academy: Season 3
Program creators Steve Blackman and Jeremy Slater return with their hit time-traveling series The Umbrella Academy: Season 3. Season 3 was released on the 22nd of June 2022 on Netflix picking up from where we left off in season 2 with The Umbrella Academy returning to their alternative time only to find that they had been replaced by the Sparrows. It seems as if after averting doomsday in Dallas, Sir Reginald Hargreeves did not approve of the seven children he adopted at the beginning of the series, changed his mind, and decided to adopt another seven instead. This in turn created another time paradox that would eventually end the world…

The Sea Beast
Director Chris Williams debuts his first solo project in The Sea Beast distributed by Netflix. Best known for his work on Moana and Big Hero 6. From the very first scene, The Sea Beast introduced itself as a film to watch out for, with its phenomenal animation and its enormous beasts that lurk under the ocean. There’s this scene during the film when Jacob and Maisie fall into the ocean, and upon looking down deep into the ocean they lock eyes with the Red Blaster. That scene reminded me of every reason that to this day, I have not taken a cruise nor even attempted to go further…

Star Wars: Obi Wan Kenobi
Obi-Wan Kenobi directed by Deborah Chow is focused on one of the franchise’s beloved characters. After all the hype and success she has brought to the Star Wars franchise through The Mandalorian, it is clear as crystal as to why she’d be headhunted for this major particular series, the lady knows has a creative and brilliant mind. At first, I didn’t know what to expect from the series, in true thoughts, I thought this would be nothing more than a cash cow for both Disney Plus and the Star Wars franchise itself however, as each episode came out I found myself looking forward to seeing more and more.…

The Rising of the Shield Hero: Season 2
Today I’d like to talk about The Rising of the Shield Hero: Season 2 by manga author Aneko Yusagi and production companies Kinema Citrus and DR Movie. The first season of the rising of the shield hero quickly became an Isekai favorite among anime fans across the entire world with its beautiful animation, deep lore, and incredible character development that will blow you away from the get-go. The second season though, my god, where do I even begin? The second season which was highly anticipated especially after the first came with one noteworthy change in directors, with Masato Jinbo replacing Takao Abo. We can’t say without a…

The Man from Toronto
Director Patrick Hughes best known for his outstanding work on “The Hitman’s Bodyguard” returns with his latest action-comedy The Man from Toronto. The Man from Toronto casts some of the movie industry’s most talented and beloved names such as Kevin Hart, Woody Harrelson, and Kaley Cuoco. Right off the bat, The Man from Toronto played by Woody Harrelson makes a very intimidating appearance at the beginning of the film which makes you admire the wealth of talent that this man is. Kevin Hart on the other hand plays the character of Teddy. A good supportive man, that has big dreams and is loyal to a fault however his…

The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf
Director Kwang IL Han best known for his work on The Legend of Korra and The Boondocks returns on his latest work The Witcher Nightmare of the Wolf. This film is based on the witcher Vesemir voiced by (Theo James), during his younger days before becoming a Witcher himself, and the events that took place after. In the case of those that don’t know who Vesemir is, Vesemir is the mentor of our favorite witcher Geralt of Rivia on which all the games are based as well as the Netflix series played by Henry Cavill. Straight of the bat whilst watching this film I was reminded of Castlevania the Netflix series, which is one of…

Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Director Jeff Fowler returns with the second installment of Sonic the Hedgehog from SEGA and Paramount Picture Studio. This time, we learn a lot more about our favorite blue hedgehog and are introduced to two very important figures in the Sonic franchise, “Knuckles the Echidna” voiced by ( Edris Elba) and Miles “Tails” Prower by (Colleen O’Shaughnessey). Colleen O’Shaughnessey by the way is the same voice actor for the original Sonic games, so this made the transition from a gaming adaptation to film so much better to accept. Though I have to admit Jim Carrey is the star of this film, his change from the first film to this one is astonishing,…

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore
Director David Yates returns with the third installment of “The Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore” distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures and written by J.K. Rowling; what a beautiful film this is. The introduction to the film was truly magical, it felt as if I were enchanted from the very beginning. Amazing CGI which is unbelievably easy on the eyes, and the pacing of the film is flawless, I wanted to see more. I fell in love with this film and in my opinion, I regard the third installment as the best so far. With Johnny Depp no longer playing “Gellert Grindelwald” obviously I had my pupils on who’d be his replacement and as…

Morbius
Director Daniel Espinosa with partners Sony and Marvel have released their latest blockbuster film by the name of “Morbius”. Now I have not seen any trailer for this film nor have any information as to what this film is about however the first thing I noticed is that it has something to do with vampires. “Doctor” Michael Morbius was born with a weak body due to his DNA missing one element in its genes which prevented him from living a normal life like every other child out there but what he lacked in physical strength, he made up with intellect. While in the care of “Doctor Emil Nicholas”…
