SPIES IN DISGUISE

Unbird me now!

The Spies in Disguise- which is also Will Smith's second animation is a brilliant piece of work.

Cast

Will Smith (Lance Sterling), Tom Holland (Walter Beckett), Rashida Jones (Marcy Kappel), Ben Mendelsohn (Robotic arm Villain), DJ Khalid (Ears), Reba Mac in tire (Joy Jerkins).

      The story centers around a genius kid- Walter who has no social life but a talent for  inventing non-dangerous spy equipment. He feels there is a less violent way to save the World and seeks the help of the world's best Spy- Lance Sterling (Will Smith) in order to achieve this. But we must keep in mind that all change is hard at the beginning, messy at the middle and eventually beautiful at the end.


      Okay, enough plot for now. Down to analysis. The flow between the two actors, Will Smith and Tom Holland was apt. Despite not seeing each other over the course of the 2 years which the film was being produced. The voicing from the actors was just so in tune with their animations that I almost actually believed Will was a real life pigeon. Just kidding.

Smith was in character and his acting skills has never been up for questioning.

                                                      

     I never thought I would love any other Will animation the way I loved Shark Tale, but Spies in Disguise has totally changed my mind.

    Holland, on the other hand was really at his A-game. This is his second animation I'm actually seeing, the first being as a character named Jip in Dolittle.

        He played out the role of a nerd and animal lover-specifically pigeon lover well and I was really entertained.

Other characters like Marcy (Rashida Jones) Ears (DJ Khalid),were really great.

I especially loved those two guys at the agency who believed that the handshake from Sterling was super electrified.

Oh, by the way. Do wash your hands please.

The lesson to be learnt was passed down clearly. No matter who we think we are, no matter how high in rank we are, sometimes we need other people's assistance. Friendship, Teamwork and Trust do go a long way to build a standing relationship.There's always another way.Violence isn't always the answer.

     The reviews from critics praised the performance of the actors but had mixed feelings about the message.

As for me, it was worth the time and I really laughed to my heart's content.

    Really loved your enthusiasm in the review. I find it very soothing. One statement you made that caught my attention was that; change is hard at the beginning, messy in the middle and beautiful at the end. Keep up the good work.

Movie Review: Moonshot

Well, well, well, would you look at Mars. I've been craving a romance movie for a while now and when I saw the trailer for Moonshot, I was like, yes. Finally! Something to see.  Yeah, maybe not so much happiness after all. Movie Plot Following the evolution of earth in 2049 where Mars is now habitable and a plane ticket cost $950,000, two teenagers struggle to come to their reality. While one longs to go to Mars because he doesn't feel at home on earth, the other misses her boyfriend and decides to go and join him. With so many dreams on the line, the two of them explore their fantasies. Okay. Where do I start from? Seeing Lana Condor and Cole Sprouse gave me so much happiness. You just have to love those two because of their individual performance in so many other movies. Case in point: Riverdale and To All The Boys I've Loved Before. I didn't have any expectations aside from seeing both of them together.  The storyline was pretty normal. You know, those re...

The Gentlemen; Movie Review

CAST   Matthew McConaughey (Michael Pearson) Charlie Hunnam (Raymond Smith) Henry Golding (Dry Eye) Hugh Grant ( Fletcher) Michelle Dockery (Rosalind Fletcher) Jeremy Strong (Matthew Berger) Eddie Marson (Big Dave) Colin Farrell (Coach).       The words " drug" and " Mafia" have been known to be associated with blood, chain of commands and dirty deals. The world of drugs isn't one to be taken lightly as every action can be interpreted as either weakness or strength. The Gentlemen showed a slightly different approach to the drug world. It wasn't without deaths and orders but it hard a slightly comedic part to it. Spoilers ahead .      If you've seen the movie, then you can either agree or disagree with some of the wordings here. But if you haven't, I'll try to lessen the spoilers. If the movie had been 3hours long or even 4hours, I doubt if I would notice. Because I was glued to my screen till the very end. The blend and scenery was q...
