Cinderella (2021)

Image
  Cinderella Poster Cinderella In this Camila Cabello Cinderella, the Cinderella story becomes a woke story. I don’t like it, but it is manageable. Cinderella is an activist/non-conformist of sorts, her stepmother has a nice side, the fairy godmother is a man, the Prince is an idiot, the prince has a sister who is eyeing the throne and they even touched on the king and queen’s love story.  In original Cinderella, Prince Charming is the only child because his mother died while giving birth to him and he is actually quite intelligent because he came back from travelling in other kingdoms to learn. That was when his father said he should marry and there would be a ball, blah blah blah. And Cindy's dress was blue.๐Ÿ’™ I’m actually tired of filmmakers adding a dumb character to movies, and even worse, to remakes, just for laughs. A very good example of this is Nickelodeon. If you want it to be current, then just make everybody be normal people. Why is the prince dumb - did it mak...

QUEENPINS

7 out of 10. ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ฐ  I don’t know if you saw the video of that man that wouldn’t leave the window seat for a child, who said he paid for it and if the mother knew her child would like a window seat, she should have bought a window seat ticket for her child? It's from this movie. The first thing is, how could this movie - which is made of legendary stuff - be a box office bomb (that means it didn’t do well, not that it blew up)? Maybe they didn’t do enough publicity or something, because you need to watch this movie. Totally recommend. C, a stay-at-home wife who was a 3-time Olympic racewalker (this is an actual Olympic sporting event - you basically walk very fast) does nothing but coupon clipping and rearranging the house after she had a miscarriage and they don’t have enough money for another round of IVF. She is best friends with her neighbor, T, who is in the beauty business but had her identity stolen by Tempe Tina (Bebe Rexha) and now everybody thinks she’s a fraudster. The...

Doctor Strange into the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

Image
  If I said it once, I said it a thousand times, the Marvel Universe without Stan Lee is nothing to write home about. If only people don’t die. No Way Home was still manageable because of the 3 Peter’s, but I should have known they were losing their way. At least the titles are correct. They are lost so they have no way home and now they’ve found themselves in the multiverse of madness, whoever the writer is. And before they started trekking, they must have drunk all these Russian alcohols, because they are wandering like lost sheep. Actually, the movie may not have felt that bad if I wasn’t expecting a superhero movie. If you want to watch a superhero movie, this is not the one for you. You will like Eran Iya Osogbo or Awon Iya Meta. It is almost the same, a witch causing problems and killing people, bringing demons around and a couple of people running around trying to stop her and rescue the person who made her angry. The only thing missing is Odunlade Adekola. Story lin...

Jayeshbhai Jordaar (2022)

Image
  Okay, hello people. ๐Ÿ‘€I really need to start posting the Korean series I said I would. But whenever I want to start, I get overwhelmed and don't know where to start๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ. Welcome to Chandigarh. You see, this world is strange. In some parts of the world, women are fighting for the right of the choice to abort when they want. On the other side, some women are fighting, even running away from home, getting beaten up and murdered, to prevent their babies from being murdered, remember Secret Superstar ? Am I also the only one that noticed that depending on the side of the divide you are, it could be a ‘baby’ or a ‘bunch of cells’? Talk about interpretation, meaning and value. In this movie, there’s a couple. When they were children, the families agreed to do an arranged marriage custom for when the children are matured. Family A’s son, Dave marries Family B’s daughter, Sarah and Family B’s son, Nick marries Family A’s daughter, Lolo. Then whatever happens to any of the children wil...

Girl Cops (aka Mrs & Miss Cops)

Image
  Hallo! Hallo! Como Estas? Some of the people you might recognize if you decide to watch this movie are: 1)       Wi Ha Joon – The cop from Squid Game and K (not pronounced gay) from Bad and Crazy . I’ll give a review of the above once I watch them. He was also the baseball superstar from 18 again (which is the Korean Series version of Zac Efron’s 17 again – I haven’t watched that one). That leads us to person 2. 2)       Yoon Sang-hyun – the older Hong Dae Young from 18 again . 3)        Lee Sung-kyung – aka our darling Kim Bok Joo (Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo) . Anyways, this movie made me scared of Korea. A bit. But I guess there are psychos everywhere. The movie starts with a female officer arresting a drug dealer. She does that cool scene Vincenzo (in Vincenzo ) and Lee Min Ho (in City Hunter ) did where they dumped all their bullets except one and kept shooting blanks till the person conf...
