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…

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…

The Last Duel
The Last Duel is a phenomenal film in the amount of detail portrayed by all three parties’ perspectives, The Husband, The Accused, and The Victim. The husband, Jean de Carrouges (played by Matt Damon) is known throughout France as a brave and skilled knight who feared nothing and would gladly fight till his last breath in the name of the King. The accused, Jacques Le Gris (played by Adam Driver) is a squire whose intelligence and eloquence make him one of the most admired nobles in the court. The victim, Marguerite de Carrouges (played by Jodie Comer) is the daughter of the controversial known traitor Robert de Thibouville who had…

James Bond: No Time To Die
Whoever said you could live a peaceful life after retiring from the MI6 was mistaken, hence Bond finds out the hard way that life after the secret service is no such thing. The first scene of a young Madeleine Swann is pivotal to the story, it not only informs us of her background but also intensifies the reason for her actions up till now. As Bond is enjoying his time after retiring from the secret service, the couple’s plans are short-lived when James is ambushed by the agents of Spectre. James thinks of no one that could have exposed his whereabouts but the person next to him, Madeleine Swann. Madeleine…

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…

Shang Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings
The making of Shang Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings has been on the Marvel studios’ projects for over 20 years with no avail, not until Director Destin Danial Cretton joined the team and for good reasons, as we can see. Shang Chi addresses a lot of one’s self, ancestry, inheritance, being oneself and so much more all in a time run of 132 minutes. We are a product of all those who were here before us and should never forget that. I have seen some of the best visuals the MCU universe has to offer in this film. At first, the audience is hinted to Shang Chi…

Apex
Ladies and Gentlemen, I hate saying negative things about someone else’s work, especially since I was not there and I don’t know the amount of work that was put into the work however this is the first film of the year which I will with a heavy heart criticize to the latter. Simply put, I want my time back. I don’t believe Director Edward Drake put enough effort into this film as it was horrendously crafted, the cast seems alright, with veterans such as Neal McDonough and Bruce Willis, let this not fool, I felt as if I were at a psychiatrist with no one out, I couldn’t wait…

Old Henry
Straight out the bat, you know know what you are about to get yourself into with Old Henry, a western film building its anticipation with a man running in the woods from a couple of men on horses, only to later realize he is running away from the Marshal played by Stephen Dorff and two his deputies. And there’s one thing that’s plain to see, it’s that this Marshal is either corrupted or pretending to that for reasons we still don’t know yet. From the moment Stephen Dorff appears on-screen anyone with a brain can tell that this man is bad news all around, there’s no respectful charisma you’d get…
