Uncut Gems
This is how I win. If anxiety was a movie this would be it. Rated R: Mystery/Crime 2019. The movie that shocked everyone. An adrenaline rush of the century in this film that’s undeniable. Academy Award deserving that’s clearly top 10 of one of the greatest movies from 2010-2019 largely considered throughout the masses of the nation. The sandman shocked and gripped us all. A story of hey where’s that twenty grand you owe? I got you with that next week. A man gambling with multiple things in his life to prodive and have his family thrive than survive while being in the a dark mist of his actions he’s not really taking accountability for catching up with him. Starring Lakeith Stanfield, Kevin Garnett, Abel (The Weeknd) Tesfaye, Julia Fox, and Idina Menzel.

"Les Miserables" it truly was
It was the year 2012 when my facebook page started blowing up with comments about "Les Miserables". Many people wrote "Amazing beautiful film" and "you have to go see it". I gave into peer pressure, especially after my sister gave in and she said it was one of the most wonderful films that she had seen. One night, I gave in and decided to go see the movie with my parents. I knew what I was expecting because I have seen clips of it live on YouTube and I have read the Junior High Version of it. I liked the story about a man who has been a criminal all of his life and a simple act of kindness turned him into an honest man. Now, to refresh your memory this movie had won the academy award for best picture, best supporting actress, best actor, best costume design, best production design, and best makeup and hair styling. I agree with most of those wins except best picture. The lights were lowered the trailers stopped and here started the longest two hours and forty minutes of my life. I am someone who enjoys musicals such as Sound of Music, Singing in the Rain, Oklahoma, Rent and Cats. For people who think I do not have the attention span to sit through a musical are wrong. The first song was one of my favorites "look down" I like the rolling drums and the sound of crashing waves, but then Russell Crowe starts to sing, that was the movies first mistake. Instead of getting him to lip sync in the movie, they got him to sing. Now, the title of the movie should give away the fact that this is not going to be a happy movie, which is fine. I was prepared for that. The constant tone is dark and foreboding and that's not something that bothers me. Did they really have to sing every single line? I know that's how it was written, but once in a while a line would have been nice to see and hear. All of Russell Crowe's lines should have been spoken. Then, the worst most agonizing part of the movie was Fantine's death, why did it take her so long to die? that was torture I remember thinking "just die already, why isn't she dead?" it was like watching a tragedy from Shakespeare where the script says "he dies" and then a few lines later the character is still speaking. Except it was long and boring. This is where the camera angles made me fee sick, why did it have to be rough? I want to watch a movie, not board a ship. I understand that they were trying to portray the hard times, but I did not want to have a hard time watching the movie. Then, I was hoping that would be over, but I had forgotten about the second part of the movie where Cosette is all grown up and falling in love. It felt like it took centuries to get to the end of the movie. The only song I actually felt good about was the finale. Finally, something good is happening in the movie. All the depressing parts had to be dragged out and then when something positive happens in the movie it does not last very long? You put me through that long disastrous movie just to have a "meh" ending? I left the movie theater and I was glad that the only two people who agreed with me were my parents. I posted a fake positive review as my status because if i posted my true feelings about it I would be getting negative comments on what a terrible person I am for hating it. I still did get a little hate when I told my best friends about. I will never watch it again or put myself through that sort of torture.

Opinion on “Coco”
Like most anyone, it's hard to imagine a Disney film I don't like. Maybe there might be some I am indifferent about, but one that I hate and refuse to watch again? How about the film about a woman who started a generations-long cult based on forgetting the existence of one man and something you used to love all because she never bothered to gather more information and even forced anyone in her life to take on her business as a genuine interest and blindly dislike everything she dislikes all under the guise of family? What could that film possibly be? Oh yea, "Coco"!

Movie Review: 'Impractical Jokers The Movie' is an Inside Joke
This review is a warning to those who are not already fans of Impractical Jokers: This movie version of the popular Tru TV prank show is not for you. Unless you are part of this cult shows fanbase already, there is nothing here for you beyond a few chuckles and a lot cringe based attempts at humor that fall flat as often as they earn a giggle.

Movie Preview: 'Run!' Starring Sarah Paulson
Run! That’s the title of a new horror thriller from the writer-director-producing team behind the inventive and exciting recent thriller Searching. That film used the innovative tactics of social media and webcams to create an engrossing and engaging thriller that featured a great performance from John Cho as a father using the tools of modern media to try to find his missing daughter.

Classic Movie Review: 'Ms.45'
With Abel Ferrara's incredibly prescient and exciting 1981 rape-revenge movie, Ms. 45, we've set ourselves quite a task. To parse the metaphors thickly woven into Ferrara's narrative is at once easy as you can identify them quickly, and a massive undertaking as the director has exhausted every possible metaphor to the point where the movie remains controversial, striking and resonant today as it ever was in 1981.

'Hard To Kill' - The Only Good "True" Seagal Movie
Hello, and welcome back to Second Chances where the maligned, forgotten, and ignored come back swinging. Growing up in the 80s and 90s, I spent a lot of my life watching action icons. My favorite movies lists that I put up last year have plenty of representation from the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and Jean-Claude Van Damme. However, one action icon from the era that has become a punchline since that period ended is Steven Seagal.
