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.

Movie Review: Death On The Nile

What a movie! I'm a stickler for investigative crime movies: Knives Out, Sherlock Holmes, Upper Room Fixer series, Enola Homes, etc. Trying to solve the crime with the detective as his mind wanders through a plethora of unusual suspects is just amazing to me and so you can understand why Death On The Nile was so intriguing. Movie Plot Detective Hercule Poirot (This surname needs some work) is back with murder within a murder within a murder within two more murders. While on a visit to Egypt, Poirot uncovers his greatest murder ever as a newlywed couple battles the envious eyes of friends and foe. Okay, so that happened. The movie uses an hour to drive us through what Poirot already tagged as acts 1, 2 and 3. We get to see Linnet shine and fall in love with her friend's man. Linnet First off, this was really low for Linnet. Come on already. Men are surplus and in quanta. She could have been with the doctor or found another one, but she opted for her friend's man. Why woul

Movie Review: The Adam Project

"Oh, that's funny. It farts when I laugh." I just can't.😂🤣🤣 Halo. Another movie review here. We'll be looking at The Adam Project. Movie Review A pilot goes back in time to search for his missing wife in so doing enlists the help of his younger self and his late father. From the first time I saw the trailer I knew I would laugh my ass out. Ryan Reynolds has decided to just feature in any movie he absolutely feels like. Storyline Let's start with the not-so spectacular part of this movie. The storyline wasn't excitingly crazy. It was there. Just there. Time travel with a blend of romance missions, messing with the timeline, embracing loss, and a happy beginning at the end. That pretty much sums it up. The good part is that it was grand. The action, the shooting, the comedy. Acts Ryan Reynolds was Ryan Reynolds and there's no changing him. The way he talks and laughs and just includes those ridiculous lines always has me in a g
