Christopher Robin Movie Review

“There’s a rumbly in my tumbly.” - Winnie The Pooh
This incredibly inventive film tells the story of a grown up Christopher Robin (Ewan McGregor) who is too invested in his work, and has forgotten how to play, and spend time with his family.  He then gets a very unexpected visit from his childhood friend Winnie The Pooh.
This film is wonderfully directed by Marc Forster (The Kite Runner, and Finding Neverland) and the cinematography is very good. There is a massive variety of beautiful shots in the film, and the drab, serious color palette is strangely fitting.  The music is also noteworthy. I also really enjoyed the animation, and the way they brought back beloved characters that so many people remember fondly.
Now for issues, there are some pacing problems; some scenes go by much too fast, and other scenes go on for a little too long. Overall though, this film is perfectly enjoyable, and has a nice message.
Rating: PG
Grade: B+

Tenet Movie Review

  “We live in a twilight world.” - The Protagonist         Tenet is the latest film from legendary director Christopher Nolan.  It stars John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Kenneth Branagh, Michael Caine, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Elizabeth Debicki.  The film tells the complicated story of a man known simply as the Protagonist, as he and a group of others attempt to stop a Russian oligarch from destroying the world using a process known as inversion.  From there, the characters are led to different locations across the globe as they grapple with enemies both in the future and the past. Tenet was one of my most anticipated films of this year.  It was supposed to release over the summer, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was delayed multiple times.  I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to see the film in a theater setting as opposed to watching it at home like so many other people have been doing for films t...

La La Land Movie Review

“Here’s to the ones who dream, foolish as they may seem.” - Mia Dolan One of my favorite musicals of all time , this romantic film had me singing along and tapping my feet the entire way through.  The storyline, acting, music, choreography, and cinematography are all excellent. Emma Stone’s performance of “Audition/The Fools Who Dream” made me cry. I loved the fantastical elements too. This movie really hit me emotionally. Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone have such fantastic chemistry here, and their singing and dancing ability is fantastic too. I loved the costume design, and the sets were also great. This movie really romanticizes L.A. night life, and I honestly loved that. This is one of those films that I wish I could experience all over again for the first time. Rating: PG-13 A+

Da 5 Bloods Movie Review

“Why do you fight against us, so far away from where you are needed?” - Hanoi Hannah Da 5 Bloods is the newest film directed by Spike Lee, and it stars Delroy Lindo, Clarke Peters, Norm Lewis, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Chadwick Boseman, and Jonathan Majors.  The film tells the tale of four Black veterans who return to Vietnam in the present day to bring home the remains of a fallen soldier.  However, that isn’t their only mission.  They are also there to recover a cache of buried gold and split the money between the four of them.   Da 5 Bloods is an incredibly intense yet heartfelt film, and it’s also very important and relevant to what’s going on in the world today.  It’s an extremely politically charged movie, and while that could be a turn-off for some people, I think it’s the type of film that needs to be seen regardless of who you are.  It’s informative and educational, and it gives the viewer knowledge about our current political climate as well as t...
