Ant-Man And The Wasp Movie Review

“Hold on, you gave her wings?” - Scott Lang a.k.a. Ant-Man

This film is one of those classic enjoyable Marvel movies that makes for a good old-fashioned popcorn flick.

It takes place simultaneously with The Avengers: Infinity War, and tells the story of Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) who is now under house arrest. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) is concerned about his wife, whom he believes to be alive after she was presumed to have died in the quantum realm.

This film is very enjoyable, and very fun. I liked the music a lot, and the CGI effects were actually quite good. Some of the characters were not very fleshed out, and I did not care for the villain, Ghost, very much either. But overall, Ant-Man And The Wasp is a fun popcorn movie that you can go out and have a perfectly good time with.

Rating: PG-13

Grade: B+

It is a cyberpunk sci-fi action movie starring Rosa Salazar as the title character. Also starring are Christoph Waltz, Mahershala Ali, Ed Skrein, Jennifer Connelly, and Jackie Earle Haley.

Best Films of 2020

As I’m sure you all know, 2020 was a difficult year for many people. It presented us with all sorts of new challenges the likes of which most of us have never seen before. It was especially tough for movie-lovers like myself, because in the town where I live and the surrounding areas, movie theaters were constantly being shut down, then reopened for a few weeks only to be shut down again. That being said, I didn’t get to see nearly as many films as I did in 2019, and a lot of the films I did see were films I didn’t have time to write reviews for before the year ended. For that, I apologize. I think it goes without saying that all of the movies on this list are ones that I really enjoyed, and I recommend checking out all of them if you get the chance. These are the films I enjoyed watching the most in 2020. Honorable Mentions: Mank Babyteeth Hamilton Hunter Hunter 10. Da 5 Bloods Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods is a unique sto...

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...
