My Hero Academia: World Heroes Mission
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, people from all over the globe today’s review we will be reviewing “My Hero Academia – World Heroes Mission” which debuted in theaters November 11th, 2021. Before I go any further it’s pivotal for us to firstly understand when the events of the movie happened precisely. The fact that Izuku Midoriya is currently using his newly acquired quirk black whip to the extent that he’s using it after it only being shown on the 5th Season will confuse a lot of people in the audience especially those who are new to the series and don’t know what’s happened until now. My best…

The Mitchells vs. The Machines
The Mitchells vs. The Machines was released on April 30th of 2021 and I had never heard of it till this year when the nominees for best-animated films were announced. Even though The Mitchells vs. The Machines was never nominated, a lot of people on social media were talking about it, recommending this film over all the other nominees – so I decided to look for it and boy-oh-boy was I hooked. From the name itself, you might assume it’s your animation films like “Monster vs Aliens” or another Terminator movie however what I loved about this film is the relatable storytelling and unique animation art style with a mixture of…

Last Looks
Alistair Pinch played by (Mel Gibson) is an eccentric actor who spends his days drunk on the set of his TV show. When Pinch’s wife is found dead, he becomes the prime suspect. To prove his innocence in the matter, Alistair convinces Charlie Waldo, a former detective who had left the police force to live a solitary and simple life away from the public eyes after a case went south. Now at first, I thought this would be another mystery murder case film with a few twists and cliché storytelling but what I never anticipated was how funny and gripping the whole situation would turn out. “Last Looks” is a…

Ghostbusters: Afterlife
A single mother and her two children move to the small town of Summerville, they soon discover they have a connection to the original Ghostbusters and the secret legacy their grandfather left behind. Another day, another Ghostbusters movie, however, this is far from your average “Ghostbusters” movie, this was a heartfelt tribute to Egon Spengler played by now a deceased actor (Harold Allen Ramis) who was involved in both the original Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2. Callie Spengler is the daughter of Egon Spengler however even though she is the daughter of one of the most beloved Ghostbusters members, she didn’t know her father much as he was constantly on the road catching ghosts…

Coming 2 America 2
Newly-crowned King Akeem and his trusted confidante Semmi embark on a hilarious journey to find Akeem’s firstborn son at the place where it all began. When I heard about Coming To America 2, I had high hopes especially considering that most of the cast from the first movie would feature again but what I looked forward to the most was seeing one of my most beloved actors again, Wesley Snipes. The sequel though is nothing like the original, there are a lot of cliché moments that pale in comparison to the first. Akeem who was seen as the prince who’d bring change to the country of Zamunda only brought…

Eternals
Marvel Studios returns with another hit banger, this time focused on the humanoid beings called the Eternals. The Eternals, a race of immortal beings with superhuman powers who have secretly lived on Earth for seven thousand years, under the orders of Celestial Arishem – The Judge, the Eternals battle the evil Deviants. There are 10 Eternals in total including the prime eternal. Each possessing superhuman powers, they all possess the following abilities though they may vary in effectiveness with each Eternal. Superhuman strength, durability, speed, agility, stamina, reflexes, and healing. As the first film that we are introduced to the Eternals, many would have questions as to what they had…

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…
