If someone told me heart of Stone was written by AI, I'll believe - and what was the need of playing Fela Kuti Zombie song in Senegal were there no Senegalese songs to play- the movie was so dumb I was just laughing throughout the third act 2/10 the Exorcist - 9/10 If u are a Horror fan and you haven't watched this film, u should; the best horror movie of all times to me, the first act was a slow burn but it was just really intense from there on Past Lives 8/10 Tearful movie, Oscar bait Terminator 2 Judgement day 10/10 Best in the Terminator franchise in my opinion |

BLUE BEETLE --- 9/10 An enthralling DC movie of capitalist quest, love, family, community and aspirations. Actions were great, emotional weight was great, musical scores were great, and the VFX was stunning. I also love the fact that the movie didn't take the conventional route associated with Hollywood films regarding the mother being the emotional support of the lead character, in this movie they went a different route, the father route. Conclusively, Blue Beetle is a beautiful work of motion picture art. A good entry into the DCU. Yeah, chronologically, it's in the DCEU, but universe setting wise, it's in the DCU set in an unspecified point in the DCU timeline, well according to its director. I really do wish the movie gets its trilogy, and box office success it deserves. People should see the movie, and look out for Nana 😂. That's officially my favorite character in the movie 😂. #Xavier 3 Likes

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: MUTANT MAYHEM --- 8/10 This is literally the best TMNT movie I've ever seen. But when it comes to movies and series combined, the Nickelodeon series of 2014 --- 2017 takes the number one spot with this movie as the first runners up. The themes of teenage ambitiousness, teenage naivety, comedic, actions, interest, letting your kids make their own part, personal acceptance, motives for doing what's right, friendship and family was intriguing and beautiful. I love the fact that Mr Rat wasn't referred to as a Sensei or just a Sensei, but rather father, and Jackie Chan nailed it with the Mr Rat role. One of amazing message from the movie is, negative experience didn't make you who you are, rather you chose to who you are because of negative experience. This could be seen in the characters of Mr Rat and Superfly. Same ill experience from humans, same resentments towards humans, but different approach to things. Honestly, I would have given the movie 9+/10, but unfortunately certain things acted as a stumbling block to that. 1.) The racial swapping of April O' Neil from White to Black, all for what? So called inclusive reasons? I have no issues in gender, sexual or racial swapping fictional characters as far as they're unpopular, but popular ones that's a no no, it's inappropriate and irrational. Seriously, there's no reason to do that, aside from some political correctness reasons. If you want a character with a desired gender, sexual or racial identity, you create original characters, or alter the identity of unpopular characters, and not popular ones. I wouldn't have had issues if this was done from all angles, but unfortunately it's only being done from one angle. You don't see Hollywood swap Black to White, gay to straight, women to men. It's always the opposite, White to Black, straight to gay, and men to women. That's ridiculous. If you're going to swap, do it across all spheres, not just some. If this shit is done from all angles, people will get fed up with it especially the Blacks, gays and women. No one likes their representatives being altered for political correctness reasons. 2.) The unrealistic third act battle scene. How can a monster be attacking New York, and the military were absent? Not even the law enforcements were present, but the media were around reporting the news while the almighty United States military were on vacation. Impressive, so impressive. If such happened in a third world country like Nigeria, it would have been understandable, but a first world country? I guess anything to make the turtles shine is highly welcomed 😏. What happened to the military partnering with the turtles and mutants to stop the monster attack? What happened to the military intervening but unable to stop the attack thus leaving the fate of New York in the hands of the turtles and mutants? This is one reason I will forever love the animated Justice League series back in the day. Its city wide battle scene in the origins episodes was so realistic. There was military intervention even though they couldn't neutralize the threats hence paving the way for the Justice League to do the job. 3.) It's animation design is a no no to me. I don't know for others, but to me, it was unpleasant. It looked more like a motion picture of wet paint. Honestly, the TMNT with the best animation design and quality is the Nickelodeon's animated series of 2014 --- 2017 But anyways, despite its flaws, the movie is amazing. Everyone should go see it. #Xavier 1 Like

HEART OF STONE --- 7/10 An entertaining, adventurous, amazing, pretty spy action movie. This is one of the few movies that got me hooked from start to finish. Gadot was impressive. Initially, I was interested in the movie as a fan of Gal Gadot and spy actions, but after the criticisms targeted at Gadot's performance, my interest augmented. I wanted to see how bad Gadot's performance was. Yeah, she lacked the vibe and charisma of a badass action character. This was in total contrast to her role in Red Target, Wonder Woman, and keeping Up With The Joneses. At first, I have to admit, I was turned off, but fell in line when I understood the kind of character she was playing. She wasn't playing a typical action badass character, rather she was playing a cute but lethal character. A character that is meant to appear innocent and harmless but that is profusely dangerous. A perfect decoy for her undercover roles. Truth is, Gadot have spent most of her time in the action genre it now looks like she lacks diversity in acting. It's better she delve into other genres. She's a good actress but people won't think so, they won't think she has long range of acting skills. This is one reason I'm anticipating her Snow White, and Cleopatra movies. We need to see if she's diversified in acting or she's just a mono (which isn't a bad thing if she is, not everybody is blessed with diverse skills. Sometimes, it's good to stick with your forte e.g Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish with their comic genres, and Jason Statham with actions, imagine Jason Statham playing romance 😂). Aside that, Heart of Stone is a pretty movie, one that I would recommend, likewise would love to see a franchise of, thank God they've set it up for a sequel. #Xavier 3 Likes 2 Shares

majesticguy: What exactly, regarding lighthearted romance, will Pixar and Disney do that has never been done before? Except you want them to start delving into other aspects of romance like romance thrillers, but unfortunately those contents won't be appropriate for the family friendly audience. I always tell people, 90 to 99 percent of films are repetitive, that's what keep the industry going. If studios are to produce films with stories that I've never been done before, we will be having very few film releases, and with time no films at all, because they eventually will run out of ideas, repetition is not allowed remember. Truth is, for the industry to continue operating, and for us to continue getting films, most are bound to be repetitive. That's why I always tell people, your focus shouldn't be on whether the story is repetitive or not (except in a franchise), but rather; * On if the "repetitive story" was told well, as regards rationality and details. * On if the characterization was well done. * On if the movie overall, was enjoyable. * On if the themes of the movie were well explored. * On if the quality of the VFX, acting, cinematography and musical score was good. When we put this into consideration, we will discover that lots of films that we criticize for being repetitive are good and enjoyable. I think that's the lens we should critic Elemental from. #Xavier |

MetroLane: Is that not the whole point of the movie? To show how people of difference worlds --- symbolized by elementals --- can come together in love. The movie is all about love being the bridge between worlds or between people of differences be it race, religion, socio-economic class, or political worldviews. Elementals was only a symbolic representation of these differences. Talking about straightforwardness of the plot, that was evident from the trailer. I wonder what some critics were expecting. It was well known how things would end. Everyone knows the movie would have ended with the hero and heroine either being lovers or close friends (due to their inability to touch). With this, I wonder what the criticism regarding its story is about actually. Knowing Its end from the beginning, all thanks to its concept and trailers, one would have just decided to spare his or herself the energy and time of seeing the movie. Truth is, not every movie is meant to be mysterious, not every movie is meant to be unpredictable. Some films are meant to be straightforward and predictable. In cases like this, emphasis are; * On if the "straightforward or predictable story" was told well, as regards rationality and details. * On if the characterization was well done. * The overall enjoyability of the film * On if the themes of the movie were well explored. * The quality of the VFX, acting, cinematography and musical scores. If Elementals is viewed from the above lens, one might end up appreciating the movie. What's my view regarding Elementals? Well considering the above lens or rule, it's a regular Disney/ Pixar movie but pretty enjoyable. It's VFX was amazing. It's a 6/10 for me. #Xavier 1 Like |

This movie looks incredible Too bad it's a Netflix original Imagine watching this film in a cinema. Rebel Moon looks like a real blockbuster not the kind of movie you watch at home. Warner Bros should do the needful and bring this man back home where he belongs. WB is the studio that made Zack Snyder a household name, just like they did for Christopher Nolan Zack Snyder's talents are being wasted at fvcking Netflix My man needs to go back home ASAP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rHLOXbFZtI 2 Likes 1 Share |
