MOVIE REVIEW; LOVEBIRDS 2020


MOVIE REVIEW; LOVEBIRDS 2020



The month of May seems to be filled with comedy. Lovebirds is the latest in the long line of movies to be released this year. It was released digitally by Netflix on the 22nd of May  and has received positive reviews mostly.


 Cast

Kumail Nanjiani (Jibrin), Issa Rae (Leilani Brooks); Anna Camp (Eddie), Paul Sparks (Moustache); Kyler Bornheimer (Breet), Andrene Ward-Hammond (Detective Martin)


Director: Michael Showalter.


I'll try to talk about this movie without actually "spoiling" it. Issa Rae plays the role of Leilani, an African-American in a relationship with an Indian. Yeah, you read right. The blend is just "sweet." Rae is a darling. I mean, really, a screen darling. The way she goes about comedic roles, and that funny facial expression she always has just makes you want to laugh your ass out. How she doesn't crack up mid-sentence, I wonder.


Kumail Nanjiani plays Jibrin. He is, for lack of a better word, fun. I couldn't stop laughing at his reaction to Keith, oops! Don't ask who Keith is, just keep reading (really need to not spoil this movie). Whoever paired those two really panned it out because it was a right move. Their onscreen "comicstry" was just apt.


Aside the jokes, there were intense scenes were both partners had to take a break and figure out where their relationship was heading. What they've lost, and how to rekindle the spark they once shared.


I'm reallly holding back from talking about the scenes and plot, loopholes, and funny lines. I can't spoil the movie, but I can definitely tell you this:

if you're looking for that movie that'll make you laugh away the stress of a corona-filled day, then this is the movie for you.


 You know what, why don't you go ahead and see this movie, then we can come back and try this again. No censoring.

 On a scale of 1 to 10 -all things considered- I'll give it a 7.

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...

Movie Review; Vampires vs. The Bronx

Cast Coco Jones, Method Man, Chris Reed, Jarden Micheal, The Kid Mero, Gregory Diaz IV, Zoe Saldana, Sarah Gardon. Vampires vs. The Bronx is about a group of kids trying to save their neighbourhood with amateurish vampire techniques—which come in handy. How do kids always have this confidence to face the evil that's new to them? If I as much as see a rat, I'm getting the hell out of that place—but not these kids. They uncover conspiracies and charge head-on. Impressive. They might not be able to stand up to school bullies, but they have what it takes to stand up to vampires and clowns.  The movie had a regular dose of finding one's strength in friendship and solidarity. And the usual community-never-believing-the-kids until the worse has happened or is close. Please, you must not divulge information to everyone. Don't take the bait and talk about how you're alone searching for a purpose or have no family around who'll miss you. That's how people...

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...
