Review: "Sweet Girl"
All of Jason Momoa's solo films have roughly been the same as of late. Usually a hint of revenge, a splash of family drama and ragged brooding is ever present, but the actor knows his strengths and sticks to them. It is immediately clear why not only Jason Momoa signed on as the male lead for this film, but also produced it. He always does well in action films and truly is one of the better action stars in the industry to this date, so in theory, Sweet Girl would be a success for the streaming giant in Netflix. However, Sweet Girl feels like an uneven mashup of films that came before it that director Brian Andrew Mendoza has a hard time juggling. One moment the shaky cam visceral action scenes take place that remind you of the Bourne franchise, only to then lose all momentum as it drops into a film trying to say something about pharmaceutical companies world wide. As a whole, the film tries to be too much and take influence from better revenge films that have come before it. Even more troubling, the film completely falls apart in the final act with a nonsensical plot twist that even while suspending your disbelief, is still incredibly difficult for any viewer to swallow.

My Review of "The Buddy Games"
The Buddy Games didn't immediately excite me when I saw the trailers for the movie. In fact, I thought it was going to be a pretty idiotic movie and it is but that didn't get me to watch it. One of the redeeming features about the movie was that I found out Olivia Munn was starring in the movie. The other factor is that I watched Tag and I thought it wasn't too bad. Maybe this movie would be similar. I wasn't wrong but I wasn't right either.

‘The Card Counter’ Review—Fascinatingly Remarkable
Sometimes, it’s easy to pinpoint what makes a movie great, whether it’s the excellent performances or the riveting dialogue. But other times, it’s not easy at all, and that happens with films like The Card Counter, a crime drama written and directed by Paul Schrader, who has previously directed First Reformed and wrote the screenplay for Taxi Driver.

My Review of "Vacation Friends"
Vacation Friends is one of the bigger straight to streaming movies that came out recently in 2021. The premise seems very familiar but with a different set of actors to charm us. I wasn't sure how this movie was going to go because it was a straight to stream movie but I've been impressed from time to time. Why not give it a shot.

“Love” The Series About The Fear To Actually Fall in Love
What does loving someone means? We all have an idea of what being in love means, right? A couple kissing, maybe holding hands, there are a thousand images that can come to our minds, but what is behind our idea of love? What do we do really when we are in love?

My Review of "All My Life"
All My Life is a romance movie based on a true story. It was released back in 2020 but the events happened around 2015 so everything is relatively recent. I think a lot of people will be enticed to watched this based on the charisma of the actors in this movie but the movie hopes you stay there for the story.

‘Together’ Review—Captivating and Timely. Top Story - September 2021.
Bleecker Street’s latest film is, remarkably, not a prequel to their early 2021 film, Together Together. This movie’s title leaves out the word redundancy, leaving us with Together, a comedy-drama from writer Dennis Kelly and director Stephen Daldry.

‘Cinderella’ Review—Progressively Charming
When we talk about Hollywood recycling ideas, we think of the endless sequels and films that are shamelessly derivative of superior works. But one story that Hollywood will never stop retelling is the story of a mistreated stepdaughter who becomes a princess.

My Review of "Death Note"
Death Note is a Japanese Anime that came out back in 2006. I've heard rumblings about this TV show for quite some time. Unfortunately at the time I was kind of getting out of the Anime phase of my life so the series never really caught my eye. After generations of friends coming at me about this series I finally decided to dive into it because it because it's available on Netflix.
