Double Feature Musical: The Greatest Showman & Pitch Perfect 3


Two musicals with talented singers, dancers and creative openings. From the story of a man beginning his dreams to a girl group ready to end on a high note. Hugh Jackman, Anna Kendrick, Zac Efron, Rebel Wilson, Zendaya, and Hailee Steinfiled. Now that's a show I'd buy a ticket to see.

Double Feature: Ferdinand & Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle


One is about a gentle giant who doesn't like to fight, the other of a game that unleashes a jungle jamboree. Both originated from a children's book, previously received the big screen treatment, and now given a theatrical new look for audiences.

The Brick Knight Rises in The Lego Batman Movie


(Originally Published on February 17, 2017)

With the surprise success of 2014’s The Lego Movie, Warner Bros. takes the Marvel route on building its own cinematic universe. With its roster of the DC Extended Universe losing steam maybe it’ll have a better chance with Legos in the first of these spin-offs: The Lego Batman Movie.

Star Wars: The Last Review (Not)

Better Late Than Never Vol. 1


Since October I've had the chance to see a lot films but have written on only three. (Sad, I know) I plan to write a full review for many of these but in the meantime (and with The Last Jedi upon us) these are my very brief thoughts on what has been playing the multiplex these past couple of months.

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Strikes Back (Ft. Crit. Hit)

We live in an age where a new Star Wars movie premieres each year; a fanboy's dream ever since the days of the classic and prequel trilogy. Now that Disney has the rights these new installments, The Force Awakens and Rogue One have been well-received by both critics and audiences, myself included. Well, maybe more with one than the other.
