The Jungle Book takes us on an adventure with a young boy named Mowgli, as he sets out for a man village, after his family of wolves is threatened by the vicious tiger, Shere Khan. I must say, before starting this review, I wasn’t too keen on seeing The Jungle Book. This movie was going … Continue reading REVIEW: THE JUNGLE BOOK

REVIEW: ZOOTOPIA
Since the birth of “children’s films”, parents have unwillingly taken their hyperactive children to see plushy appropriate films, only to be one step away from pulling their hair out. But with Disney’s new film, Zootopia comes out with guns blazing, not shying away from taking shots at certain subjects. This film takes on serious subject … Continue reading REVIEW: ZOOTOPIA
REVIEW: 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE
Let’s be frank, here. I refuse to call this film a sequel to the previously released Cloverfield (2008), which, by the way, is a great film. In 10 Cloverfield Lane, our hero, Michelle, played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Scott Pilgrim vs. The World), wakes up one day to find herself prisoner in a bomb shelter. … Continue reading REVIEW: 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE

Mannix a “devout” Catholic, or … Continue reading REVIEW: HAIL, CAESAR!
REVIEW: PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES
Director Burr Steers takes on the classic novel, Pride and Prejudice, but with a twist of The Walking Dead. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies tells Jane Austen’s basic love story between both Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. But where the film differs, obviously, is the plot of having zombies. Instead of Ms. Bennet playing … Continue reading REVIEW: PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES
LEST WE FORGET: THE MUMMY
“Patience is a virtue.” “Not right now, it isn’t.” This is the film that started it all, at least for me. When so many of my fellow “movie buffs” started with Star Wars or Indiana Jones, I couldn’t help but fall in love with The Mummy (1999). Now before I get into this article, I … Continue reading LEST WE FORGET: THE MUMMY
