My Spy; Movie Review

Cast

Dave Batista (JJ), Chloe Coleman (Sophie Newton), Kristen Schaal (Boobi), Parissa Fitz-Henley (Kate Newton), Greg Bryk (Victor Marquez), Ken Jeong (David Kim)

Transitioning from wrestling to acting hasn't always favoured some athletes. But for Dave Bautista, this move has seen his involvement in some top movies like Guardians of the Galaxy, Expendables, Kick boxer:Vengeance and quite recently My Spy.

SPOILERS

An ex-special forces, now CIA agent is tasked with an undercover job; surveliance While undercover, he is discovered by the child of the target and has to do as she says, else she blows his cover. And as it is with kids and demand, they never end. From skating, to show and tell in school, to training her as a spy recruit, he opens up his humanity and falls for her mother. When thorns rear their head in the operation loyalties are tested.

Obvious flaws exist in the storyline though. For starters, who trust their kid with a total stranger, no matter what the child says. Even going as far as sending him to the school. Who trusts that way?

And the gay couple next door, I so didn't see that coming. "no one suspects the gay couple" truly. But I loved how they were private contractors.

My Spy strikes a semblance to The Pacifier. The comedy, spy, action and entanglement with family. I'll give it a rating of 8 based on It's comedic and entertaining content. Would have loved to see more action.

For an action comedy movie, it did quite good.

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...

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...
