The Review: Creed II


Creed II 6/10


I have actually been waiting a while to see this movie because when it was first released and I saw the storyline I thought it was too soon to be doing it. This takes place a couple of years after the first film and Adonis has been fighting to get back his belt. He ends up winning but then he is challenged by Ivan Drago's son. For those who don't know somehow Drago is the one who killed Adonis's father Apollo Creed in Rocky IV (which is the best Rocky movie ever). He eventually ends up fighting him and wins but just because Ivan's son is a dirty ass fighter and keeps listening to his evil father. Adonis also discovers that his girlfriend is pregnant and he's afraid that his daughter will be born with hearing issues just as she has.

The Review: Everything Everywhere All At Once


Everything Everywhere All At Once 10/10


How do I even begin to describe the movie Everything Everywhere All At Once? The basic premise is that it's about this lady who's a Chinese American immigrant who works at a laundromat with her husband they ended up coming to America and she had a daughter named Joy. She ends up going to the IRS because they're being audited and suddenly her husband begins acting like another person and tries to quickly explain to her that he is from a multiverse and that there is someone on the hunt and killing them and versions of this lady who works at the laundromat. The next thing you know there is some of the best fight choreograph choreography I've ever seen and an actual incredible story about family.

Sitting In The Aisle: Ant-Man And The Wasp Quantumania


Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania 8/10


So here is my late ass review for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. I had not seen a Marvel film in theaters since 2020 so I was super excited when L. and I went to go see this. I like the first Ant-Man okay but wasn't a huge fan of the villain but seem to like Ant-Man more as he popped up in other films. We were mostly excited to see the villain Kang the Conqueror in this because when he popped up and Loki it was incredible. This movie is about parents in their relationships with their children pretty much. I know that sounds weird but it makes sense.

The Review: The Woman King


The Woman King 8/10


As I sit here with my feet soaking in warm water with bubbles in between my toes I realize that after watching a film like The Woman King I would not have survived that environment in real life nor the training done to do this movie. The Woman King turned out to be a far better film than I expected it to be. Not that I thought it was going to be bad or anything but I pretty much thought it was just going to be an action film with a lot of tough ass looking women and that's about it. I was very wrong. This is about a general and she leads and trains a group of women warriors from all different parts of Africa. Colonizers start arriving and she begins to realize that they are just trading their own people for more weapons and losing more and more of themselves as time goes on. The king agrees with her but he also has his evil ass wife in his ear who tries to go behind his back and make decisions because she wants to be declared the next woman king.
