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 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...
