[Review] Prey (2022) Is an Amazingly Intense Return to Form for the Predator Franchise

I have just watched Prey (2022) Without a doubt, this is the BEST Predator movie since the first one graced 80s theaters. This movie brings the Predator franchise back to its roots. No unnecessary fluff, no ridiculous “autism are powers”, and no boring stretches of cringe dialogue. Instead, we get a simple and focused story with strong themes, gorgeous cinematography, engaging characters, and most importantly, … Continue reading [Review] Prey (2022) Is an Amazingly Intense Return to Form for the Predator Franchise

[Review] Everything Everywhere All At Once And Asian Identity

I won’t be spoiling anything in this review. I love the movie too much to spoil anything major about it. I haven’t been to theaters in a long while. So, when COVID-19 restrictions eased and theaters re-opened, I went back to watch a movie of an emotionally torn protagonist jumping through universes to find purpose and meaning in the chaos of an ever-shifting reality. That … Continue reading [Review] Everything Everywhere All At Once And Asian Identity

[Spoiler Review] Finally, Spider-Man: No Way Home Really Makes You FEEL Like Spider-Man

Yes, that was a dunkey reference. First Impressions This is the best Holland Spider-Man movie by a LONG shot, it’s not even close if I am being totally honest. The brilliance of making us think that this Peter didn’t need an origin story then pulling the rug out from under us by revealing the entire trilogy was the origin story? Spectacular.Let’s get it out of … Continue reading [Spoiler Review] Finally, Spider-Man: No Way Home Really Makes You FEEL Like Spider-Man

[Movie Essay] The Intimacy of Encanto

[Minor spoilers for Encanto] Encanto is the latest animated feature from the NOT-Pixar side of Disney’s animation team, and it’s got to be one of the most charming and sincere of their films to come out in recent years. The music is catchy yet it develops the characters really well. The visuals are masterfully crafted and don’t act as crutches for the movie’s existence. The … Continue reading [Movie Essay] The Intimacy of Encanto

Netflix Movie Review – Next Gen Is Just Better Big Hero 6

Okay, hear me out. First of all, I have a mixed opinion of Big Hero 6. I liked it a LOT, and Baymax is one of the most adorable characters to come out in recent memory, but the story itself wasn’t that good, in my opinion. It was a pretty typical movie that got carried hard by it’s stellar character design and interesting setting of … Continue reading Netflix Movie Review – Next Gen Is Just Better Big Hero 6

Live Action Anime Adaptation Tier List! (E to D Tier)

And so it continues. See F Tier by clicking this link. E Tier Terraformars In E tier, we only have ONE film, and that honor goes to Terraformars (2016). I like to characterize E tier as F tier with stronger positives. That is to say, from a technical perspective, the movie’s not bad at all. In fact, the action and the creatures are done surprisingly … Continue reading Live Action Anime Adaptation Tier List! (E to D Tier)

The Live Action Anime Tier List! (F Tier)

Tier lists are still a big thing, right? Regardless, this is a really fun idea I’ve been toying around with, and I feel like it’s way more interesting than just another bullet list. By putting these in ranks, I hope we can better see why some adaptations work fantastically- While others, not so much. For this list, I’ve curated the most popular adaptations only. I … Continue reading The Live Action Anime Tier List! (F Tier)

Anime Movie Review: Weathering With You (2019)

I just watched it, and while I left feeling oddly disappointed FOR A MOMENT, it gave way to a more positive and thought-provoking mood a bit later. My love for Your Name may have colored my expectations of what this movie was trying to do. Comparing it with Your Name is honestly unfair, because this movie is so different from Your Name. I feel like … Continue reading Anime Movie Review: Weathering With You (2019)

[Lazy repost, I’m watching Weathering With You tomorrow so I thought hey, let’s just post a review of a different romantic anime movie you recently saw. Expect the review for Weathering With You by Makoto Shinkai next week!] Well, I guess it’s Chuuni week in this blog, because after watching how terrible chuunis can be in “When Supernatural Battles Become Commonplace”, I decided to remind … Continue reading Chuunibyou: Take on Me Movie Review
