Movie Reviews and Trivias

Gaming is a habit many of us take up to pass time and relax. Some of us like to play Candy crush and Candy soda, while others prefer the violent ones like Grand Theft Auto, Miami Vice, Deadly target, etc. We also have those who combine both worlds. Case in point: me. Don't get confused.  Free Guy isn't a video game. It's a movie about a video game and it's involvement with reality. PLOT An NPC (Non Playable Character) evolves beyond being non-playable to actually becoming the hero of his city. He develops feelings, emotions and changes the path of all those who come his way. On another end, we have two friends who want to take down the guy who stole their game idea. When both goals meet, every party involved must take a stand to fight together for what each wants. That's enough. I'm tempted to keep going.  MOVIE PROPER The whole movie—which ran for almost two hours—had me invested from the first scene until the very last cast.  Not every movie can d...

Cast Jamie Foxx, Angela Basset, Tina Fey, Richard Ayoade, Daveed Diggs, Sam Lavagnino, Phylicia Rashad. Way to go Pixar! As an ardent cartoon watcher, it's not every time I see an animation like Soul. The lesson and reason behind the whole animation spoke to me, and I'm sure many others as they watched it. Kudos to them on the casting and breaking records. Summary A middle-aged school teacher gets the opportunity of a lifetime to play with a famous band. While this sets everything in motion for a good life, or rather a life he had always wanted, his dreams are halted when he falls into limbo after an accident. This limbo sets the pace for a revelation like no another, and a chance to do right by a certain 22. Plot When it started, I couldn't say what sort of animation I was going to get. I knew it wasn't the happily-ever-after Disney tradition, but then I just couldn't place it. Thirty minutes into the movie and I'm laughing my ass out. Jamie as a fa...

  Cast Kathryn Newton Vince Vaughn Uriah Shelton Misha Osherovich Celeste O'Connor Dana Drori Katie Finneran Melissa Collazo Genre: Horror/Comedy. Happy new year to you and yours. It's been a wonderful year, 2020, and now we're ready for 2021. And despite being a new year, there are 2020 movies I couldn't see due to many, many, reasons beyond my control. So, I'll see them and I'll talk about them while I wait for 2021 movies. And if 2021 movies aren't worth it, I'll still see more 2020 movies. So, Freaky , huh? Firstly, kudos to Vince Vaughn (Butcher). Playing out a teen character looked so cool on him. Jack Black has been known to do this effortlessly too, but Vaughn made it delightable to watch. Typical teenager to ask 'where am I?' after waking up in a strange house. The supporting actors were also good with their roles.  Plot As much as I enjoyed the movie, some parts of the plot were just too much of clichés. The regular girl wit...

Princess Switch: Switched Again Cast Vanessa Hudgens, Sam Palladio, Ricky Norwood, Nick Sagar, Suanne Braun, Fleischmann, Mia Lloyd, Ben Lamb, Florence Hall, Rose McIver, Lachlan Neiboer. Talk about a sequel! I'm not exaggerating when I say that Princess Switched 2: Switched Again was a blend of romance, deceit, and a proper Christmas cheer. In the first part we saw Stacy, the baker, take a trip that turned her life to royalty. She fell for Prince Edward and they got married to the delight of everyone including her doppelganger, the princess of Montenero, Margaret. Fast forward two years later and that princess is about to become the Queen. But true love seems far as she's having issues with Kelvin. Issues, nah. They broke up.  As much as I would love to rattle on about the storyline, I prefer to summarise. The apperance of Fiona, another looklike was unexpected. What were they thinking? Whatever it was, it was good. Vanessa Hudgens nailed her trio roles superbly an...

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...

Cast Adam Sandler, Noah Schnapp, Paris Berelc, Julie Bowen, Shaquille O'neal, Ben Stiller, Lance Lim, Karan Brar. Halloween is unarguably the scariest holiday on the calendar. Every October 31st, children and adults, alike, dress up in horrifying costumes and makeup, go trick and treating, and devour candy. Some litter with toilet paper and throw rotten eggs. Overall, it's creepy fun and makes a good watch—which is why Sandler targeted Hubie Halloween for Halloween. Enough of the talk, down to the movie. Adam Sandler is a funny guy. Honest. He doesn't even have to try, he just is. With his ability to speak in concocted mannerism and take on any role, it's impressive the comedy legacy he has made for himself. So when I saw him in Hubie Halloween , I knew I was going to watch.  Hubie Halloween is a holiday comedy horror movie (if there's any genre like that) about a town that's taught a lesson on humility and bullying. Not what you expected to hear, ...

Cast Emma Roberts, Luke Bracey, Jessica Capshaw, Manish Dayal, King Bach, Kristin Chenoweth. Christmas holiday is around the corner, and by around the corner, I mean four to five weeks away. Nevertheless, people around the world have taken to Christmas shopping; getting trees, decorations and date; not a date, calendar. A date, person. Yeah, a date. The Netflix movie, holidate , is a romantic holiday movie about- love.  Spoilers or no spoilers? Let's try no spoilers. The movie stars a man (Luke) and a woman (Emma), traditionally, searching for a non-committal relationship. (Very original). The woman's mother and relatives shun her at every single holiday she spends with them. Talk about a supportive family. No one shuns the guy, but boy does he want out of anything serious. He totally wants a pass on the whole love and mushy feelings and simply wants company. I guess. Imagine if you could have one person you're not tied to, you don't need to call or send a g...
