My Review of "Ronny Chieng: Speakeasy"
Ronny Chieng: Speakeasy is Ronny Chieng's latest Netflix special for 2022. I've been a fan of Ronny's comedy since his last special Ronny Chieng: Asian Comedian Destroy's America. That special was methodically put together to create a very tight comedy set. This one is a big departure of that set.

Red and Black
The Red and the Black is a novel written by the French writer Stendhal, one of the most prominent French writers in the nineteenth century, and his works were characterised by irony and at the same time harsh criticism of the depths of the human soul. He lived within the strict social structure in France after the turmoil of the French Revolution and the rule of Napoleon Bonaparte, red symbolises the military uniform and black symbolises ideology because the priests' uniform was black, the novel revolves around the ideology-military conflict as well.

My Review of "The Equalizer (2014)"
The Equalizer (2014) is the catalyst movie that started a whole franchise. This movie has gone on to a sequel and a TV show. I fell in love with this movie when it first came out, watching it again today gave me new insights as to why I liked it.

“Got to, This is America, Man…” – Anatomy of a Scene
‘The Wire’ is the greatest television show of all-time. Even as the show nears the 20th anniversary since when it first aired on American cable television network, HBO, it still rings as culturally relevant and as emotionally stirring as it was when it first debuted in the Summer of 2002. While technology may be different now, the characters would not be the same, the setting could be different from the show, the overall themes, and messages from ‘The Wire’ as well as the institutions that the show focused on for five great seasons have not changed that much.

Good Time Review
When you pop in a movie into the blu ray player or dim the lights and take the first bite of popcorn you expect every time to be an experience that you remember. Some movies provide this and others do not. That is just the nature of the game. Good Time is one of those movies that grips you right from the opening frame and does not let up for one second until the end credits roll.

A Simple Lie - Is It Worth Paying Money to See?
So I just got back home from watching A Simple Lie - the new Biodun Stephen movie starring Bisola and Kiekie. If you want to know if it's worth paying your money for or if you should wait and see it at home, then let me tell you what I personally think.

Ambulance Movie Review
Michael Bay may be a reliable director for generating profits, but his films have long been lambasted by the masses. His style of bloated action isn’t going anywhere with Ambulance, another limp effort that will exhaust rather than entertain.

My Review of "Gran Turismo 7 on the PlayStation 5"
Gran Turismo 7 on the PlayStation 5 is the latest car simulator game by Polyphony released in 2022. I honestly didn't think they'd be able to release it this year because Polyphony had been notorious for not meeting release dates. Now with games being released half finished to be updated later, this became a reality. Fortunately this game didn't ship out half broken.

My Review of "American Underdog"
American Underdog is a biographical movie based on the life of Kurt Warner. For those that don't follow the National Football League, Kurt Warner is an American football player that didn't really get to live his dream until later on in his life. I remember his Superbowl win years ago but I didn't know they'd make a whole movie out of it. Then again why not?

My Review of "Kill Zone (aka SPL)"
Kill Zone (aka SPL) came out in 2005. I remember watching this movie a long time ago and was mesmerized by the action sequences and the story. More than a decade later I only somewhat remember the action sequences but forgot the story altogether. It was time to revisit this film and see if it holds up to today's standards.
