Jurassic Park
In a franchise known for its groundbreaking visuals and epic narratives, Jurassic Park III often gets overshadowed by the series' first entry. Debuting during a time when audiences were still captivated by the original Jurassic Park and (to a far lesser extent) its sequel, The Lost World, this film
Jurassic Park
This review is where I'm about to be crucified by Jurassic lovers and left to be eaten alive, little by little, by a group of The Lost World's tiny menaces, the Compsognathus. But, in complete honesty, this isn't my favorite movie in the franchise.
Alfred Hitchcock
Though many people accuse me of having bad taste because I am a member of Gen-Z, they obviously have never heard that my favorite director is the great Alfred Hitchcock, master of mystery, cinematography, and, of course, suspense. The Birds is one of his most intriguing films, taking place in
Co-Mix Wave Films
While I am too busy to binge-watch all the anime I'm constantly recommended to watch (I've only gotten about six episodes into One Piece), I stay up to date on anime films when I have the chance. With both Weathering With You and Your Name ranking
Scrapper
Going into this film, I had no preconceived notions or context on what the film would be about. In this day and age, it is pretty rare for me to go into a movie knowing nothing, so I appreciated the huge surprise this film offered me. Now, was I surprised
The Unbreakable Boy
Spoilers ahead for The Unbreakable Boy! I went to watch this with my mom for her birthday. The whole reason I wanted to watch it in the first place was the goofy "this is the Mountain Dew: Code Red of hats" line... I mean, that's the
Alfred Hitchcock
Alfred Hitchcock is my favorite director of all time (I know, super original), even as a young man so far removed from his cinematic prime. I mean, I was born twenty-seven years after he died, for goodness sake! But I digress. Psycho is far and away Hitchcock's most
Patema Inverted
As a massive fan of Japanese anime films, with Weathering With You and A Silent Voice both instantly placing in my top five favorite movies upon watching them, the whole premise of Patema Inverted felt right up my alley. So, did this film impress or depress? That's what
Planet of the Apes
After a quintilogy of older films, a misguided remake filled to the brim with issues, and the modern Caesar trilogy, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes attempts to follow up the modern trilogy, taking place centuries down the line. Does it successfully follow up that trilogy, or does it
Moana
Arriving an astounding eight years after the original, I was rather excited to go see the sequel to Disney's smash-hit Moana. And, of course, its sequel was yet another smash hit. However, it was a decent bit more critically panned than the original... so how does it hold
Marvel
With the upcoming release of the franchise's third installment, I felt the urge to write about one of the most oddly memorable comic book movies of all time. This movie is undoubtedly like no other movie. Venom is an odd movie. It is one of those films completely
Planet of the Apes
After two very different sci-fi action movies, this movie had an arduous task to execute: to make the perfect conclusion to the trilogy. Taking inspiration from the conclusion of the original series and raising the stakes of the previous film, this certainly is an epic movie. But is it the
Planet of the Apes
After a fantastic first film by Rupert Wyatt that started a whole new reboot franchise, Matt Reeves had some big shoes to fill. And shoes he certainly did fill! Is it better or worse than its predecessor? Or is it just a whole different experience altogether? That's what
Planet of the Apes
The original run of Planet of the Apes was a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs, making it one of the most interesting quintologies of all time. While I loved the first and third movies, the others weren't all that great. So how can the first of the
Planet of the Apes
With an excellent original series and an ever-expanding modern series, this remake of the original film is oddly stuck in the middle of the two franchises. It is its own beast, and there are quite a few things to be said about this film. So let's get into
Planet of the Apes
The original Planet of the Apes series had an incredibly intriguing run! The first film? It's an utter masterpiece. The second? It was a misguided rehash that was too weird for my liking. The third? It's nearly as good as the original, even though it is
