BLACK PANTHER - MOVIE REVIEW

*Directed by Ryan Coogler *Starring Chadwick Boseman, Lupita Nyong'o, Michael B. Jordan, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Daniel Kaluyya, Letitia Wright, Forest Whitaker, Andy Serkis NO SPOILERS! THIS A SPOILER-FREE REVIEW! The Plot: After the events of Captain America Civil War, Prince T'Challa aka the Black Panther must take on the hard-core responsibility as the newly appointed king of Wakanda when he's challenged by powerful forces of evil that would tear down his leadership and abuse the power and energy of a magical element called Vibranium that holds their society together. So being a fan of the Marvel franchise there was no doubt I was excited as can be to see this movie and with Civil War being a wonderful set-up for this character I couldn't wait to see how T'Challa could hold his own movie. Not to say its predecessor Civil War lost track on being a set-up for this movie, but they were able to balance him out well and make him a very striking char...

I remember being really hyped for this movie almost ten years ago being a fan of the first movie as well as The Incredible Hulk. I watched the trailer multiple times! It looked bigger and better than the first film by a landslide! The shots with Iron Man and War Machine in action just blew my mind! I couldn't wait! I still have fond memories of the anticipation and finally seeing it opening weekend. I knew this movie wo...

THE CLOVERFIELD PARADOX - SPOILER REVIEW

This is a SPOILER-HEAVY Review, so if you want to know my thoughts and want to see the film, watch it and then come back. It was impossible for me to get my thoughts out without discussing major plot details, so you've been warned. *Directed by Julius Onah *Starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw, David Oyelowo, Elizabeth Debicki, Zhang Ziyi, Daniel Brühl, Chris O'Dowd, John Ortiz, Askel Hennie, Roger Davies Hello everyone! So this was a film that completely snuck up on us due to the fact that we weren't really expecting a release date so soon. I mean it's crazy to think that I had this movie on My Most Anticipated Movies of 2017 list and even though pushed to 2018 I was still hyped to see another Cloverfield movie. I was a big fan of 2008's Cloverfield , which was a really great underrated suspenseful horror found footage movie. 10 Cloverfield Lane was probably one of the best thrillers in recent years as well, so of course I was jacked to find out on Super Bowl Sunday th...
