Movie Review; Spenser Confidential

CAST

Mark Wahlberg (Spenser)

Winston Duke (Hawk)

Alan Arkin ( Henry Cimoli)

Bokeem Woodbine (Driscoli)

Marc Maron ( Kayne Cosgrove)

Iliza Shlesinger (Cissy Davis)

      Spenser confidential is a compelling watch. It follows the story of a good cop (Spenser) who goes out of his way to set things right. He is incarcerated and released, only to find out that half the cops have been bought over by a kingpin including his best friend.

      He teams up with a ex convict and roommate (Hawk) and together they try to amend the wrongs done to the unjustly accused good cops.

This is definitely not the first time I've seen Mark take up a comedic action role. His bad ass attitude and child like demeanour makes it all so interesting to watch.

    Winston Duke didn't disappoint either. Having seen him in Us and Black Panther, this was definitely another look and quite commendable. It's good to see he's not taking on a particular type of role.


    Post Malone, the badass prison mate lived up to expectations too. I love the blend of action and comedy. The hint of romance and the fight scenes too. I'll give it an 8/10 because the storyline was like every bad cop, good cop storyline.

The turns in the The Turning

The horror movie genre is one of the most successful genre in the movie industry. Scary endings and suspense filled scenes have carved a niche and are not going anywhere anytime soon.     Inconclusive endings are not new to the genre but some endings are indeed too inconclusive.The turning is a 2020 horror movie which held a lot of scare factors but failed to land at a significant point.      With little similarities to The Boy 1, a young lady decides to tutor an orphaned little girl at their manor but is met with circumstances she could have never prepared for.         The whole story started out quite well -the creaking doors, the shadows, the nightmares and then there was an addition of the creepy behaviour given off by Miles, the brother of Flora.      The major flaw in the movie was the absence of a definitive conclusion, too many questions were left unanswered- Is Kate insane? Is Miles truly posses...

Movie Review: A Madea Homecoming

Madea is back! Hallelujer! After the Madea Family Funeral we thought we had seen the last of this iconic screen character, but 2022 has given us a reason to laugh out loud. Movie Plot Madea's Homecoming surrounds the family getting together for Madea's great grandson's graduation ceremony. As expected when the Madea clan comes together, secrets are revealed and chaos the order of the day. Spoilers ahead First off, Madea is a great grandmother. Not grand. Great grand. That's three generations alive in the clan. How old exactly is Madea? Did she take some vampire blood?  Back to serious issues? What type of best friend helps her best friend divorce her husband and then fall in love with the best friend's husband to the extent of wanting to get married to him. That's wrong on so many levels. Especially if you include the fact that she was the attorney in charge of the divorce and the douche bag got everything from the divorce. Babe! She freaking broke e...

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG

Okay. I absolutely adored this movie. I'm a sucker for games and movies. So when game characters are incorporated into movies so perfectly, I get all giddy. Cast Ben Schwartz,James Madsen, Jim Carrey, Tika Sumpter, Lee Majdoub. The redesign was totally worth it, even though it cost more money, it paid off. Spoilers ahead.        I've watched different sonic cartoons and also played the game, but the movie was a hit. A blue alien hedgehog leaves his own planet because people want to use his powers..He comes to Earth-Green hill to be specific and spy's on all the neighbors, particularly the sheriff whom he calls "Donut Lord". But as it is with lending assistance to strangers, trouble always follows.      Lemme start with the voicing for sonic. Ben Schwartz was pretty impressive in his voicing, sounding like a young boy and portraying how their mind works.  Sheriff Tom (Madsen) was cool. Not so serious and not so unserious. Hi...
