MOVIE REVIEW; SCOOB

SCOOB 2020


Adventure, Crime, and a dose of laughter is sure to follow the Mystery Incorporated.

Cast

Zac Efron, Mark Wahlberg, Gina Rodriguez, Will Forte, Frank Welker, Amanda Seyfried.


This story had an underlying message embedded--even the best of friends have disagreements. The bond between Shaggy and Scooby has always been undeniably strong, their eating habits, their show of cowardice and their unusual manner of locating trap doors. 


The inclusion of an origin story and the blend with other Hannah Barbara characters brought about a serious-not so serious storyline.

Simon Cowell's cameo appearance was unexpected to be honest. Zac Efron as Freddy, no surprise there. The actor has proven that he can fit into any role, be it as a serial killer, a musician, a highschool sweetheart, or even a "green" activist.

Will Forte did fairly well as Shaggy, considering the shoes he had to fit. Really happy that Scooby wasn't changed, that would have been a total turn off.

Overall, the story was entertaining to watch, even caught myself holding back tears towards the end of the movie (It was touching).

"Maybe your gift is being in denial." Ouch! That stung. Have you seen Encanto ? If yes, ride along and let's go through fun scenes. If you haven't, book a seat, enjoy the ride.

Movie Review: Moonshot

Well, well, well, would you look at Mars. I've been craving a romance movie for a while now and when I saw the trailer for Moonshot, I was like, yes. Finally! Something to see.  Yeah, maybe not so much happiness after all. Movie Plot Following the evolution of earth in 2049 where Mars is now habitable and a plane ticket cost $950,000, two teenagers struggle to come to their reality. While one longs to go to Mars because he doesn't feel at home on earth, the other misses her boyfriend and decides to go and join him. With so many dreams on the line, the two of them explore their fantasies. Okay. Where do I start from? Seeing Lana Condor and Cole Sprouse gave me so much happiness. You just have to love those two because of their individual performance in so many other movies. Case in point: Riverdale and To All The Boys I've Loved Before. I didn't have any expectations aside from seeing both of them together.  The storyline was pretty normal. You know, those re...

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...
