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…

Final Space
Olan Rogers has created a masterpiece in the three-season we got from Final Space and at first, I was wary of the first season, even comparing it to another popular series “Rick and Morty” with its similar art style and aesthetics, however, if you give it chance it may very well be your kind of show. We are first introduced to Gary, a human who’s been imprisoned on the Galaxy One serving a five-year sentence for destroying over 92 spaceships and impersonating an Infinity Guard all to impress Officer Quinn Ergon. We also met KVN, who’s Gary Goodspeed’s Deep Space Insanity Avoidance Companion, H.U.E, the Galaxy One’s AI who…

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…

Red Notice
Red Notice is the highest level of an arrest warrant issued by The International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol), reserved for the most wanted criminals. In this film, Ryan Reynolds plays the character of the world’s greatest art thief when he targets the treasures that were a wedding gift from the Roman general Mark Antony to his true love the Egyptian queen Cleopatra but unfortunately for him, he is set up by his rival known as Bishop played Gal Gadot who leads Interpol directly to his private residence and is arrested. I have mentioned before that ever since “Jungle Cruise” Dwayne Johnson has made an impression on me in…

Army of Thieves
Matthias Schweighofer has done an amazing job with this prequel, I found myself wanting to see more with each safe. The story of Hans Wagner after losing his family putting all his attention and soul into the makings of the four safes was beautifully illustrated and directed. Ludwig Dieter was such an isolated person and you could strangely always see that even from the first film, Army of The Dead, but to think he just wanted someone to recognize his skills, and he sure made the impression at the safe’s competition. Whilst the former champion is anxious and using every technique in the book on unlocking a safe, Dieter on the…

Jungle Cruise
Jungle Cruise is such an unexpected fun-filled adventure film, filled with some of the best acting I’ve seen from Dwayne Johnson ever and I can admit to loving the person a little more from his spectacular adaptation of Captain Frank Wolff. I had never heard of Jungle Cruise before this movie but what’s certain is that within the first ten minutes of the film I already knew Captain Frank Wolff was a con artist when it comes to making money yet, he put a lot of work into making his boat the number choice for tourist, I mean the lengths this man has gone is close to insane. He built…

QueenPins
“QueenPins” was directed and written by film couple Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapilly based on the true events that occurred in 2012, where three, not two women were arrested in Phoenix Arizona with 25 million dollars worth of fake coupons during the raid. So as you’ve just read, for a film based on true events, there seems to be one more culprit missing. However, this is part of the comedy genre so we can overlook that aspect for now. Imagine selling coupons online and making millions and having the postal services come at you like the FBI. This whole story sounds ridiculous even if you had told me I wouldn’t…
