Wonder Woman 1984 - Movie Review

Finally Released One of the movies everyone has been waiting for that was delayed due to COVID. Currently showing in theaters and on HBO Max. If you search HBO Max, you will find all the movies that will be released in theaters at the same time as being released on HBO Max. Looking at affordable solutions as well has safety during this time, I was able to redeem a free 14 day trial to HBO Max so I could watch this movie specifically. I am pleased that it will also allow me to watch season 2 of His Dark Materials which is a much better adaption of the Golden Compass book series. Review While the movie did not meet my expectations, the movie is still very good. I felt they did a great job in bringing the characters back together in a believable way. The story was very original from my perspective as I don't recall any movie with a similar plot. There was something still a little off that did not make this sequel as good as the first movie. There were some great moments in the movie t...

Scoob! - Movie Review

  Rewards Programs I have a whole page dedicated to  reward programs  that make digital movie collecting more affordable. An exclusive program my brother introduced me to is the Warner Bros. A-List Community. The program sends out surveys that ask for your opinions on movies and entertainment. I bring up this program up as this is how I added Scoob! to my library for free. Last year they gave away Wonder Woman and Shazam digital movies for free. Not bad for a few surveys a month. Review While I like animated movies and Scooby, this movie was not on my must have list. That being said, the movie was very good. I especially appreciated the homage done to the Scooby Do, Where Are You! series that I grew up with. The story was good. The voice cast was good as well. I was a little surprised how much they put into this movie with a 94 minute run time. The story moved at a good pace. Great family movie that introduces you to Scooby Do while making the movie it's own. Rating I wou...

The New Mutants - Movie Review

  Long Time In The Making I know it has been a while since my last post. Thought this was appropriate subheading not only for my lack of reviews but also since this movie has been in limbo (pun intended) for two years. This is the last X-Men movie under the 20th Century Fox control. Between the Disney purchase and issues with X-Men: Dark Phoenix under performing plus COVID, this movie may have never seen the light of day. Fortunately, the movie has finally come out and I think Fox was finally producing quality X-Men movies again. Review The movie is very good. The movie was originally intended to be a horror movie but was definitely dialed back to keep it out of that category. The chemistry between the young actors is fantastic. The story is based on an actual comic books which probably is the reason the movie is good. My only issue with the movie is that we will probably not see a sequel. Who knows, Disney may include this in their cinematic Universe as the story stood on its own....
