Reminiscence misses.
Reminiscence was the latest day and date release that didn't even make a Dent at the domestic box office. It doesn't have high critical scores and has basically no word of mouth among casual audience. The silent killers in today's Cinematic landscape. Was it that bad of a movie?

My Review of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney)"
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney) is a beautifully animated movie from 1996. This movie may be 25 years old but the visuals are still breathtaking when watched today. For a Disney film I was expecting a simple story but there's a lot of elements to this movie that I didn't expect. There are a lot of pretty heavy subjects that they touch upon but aren't absolutely obvious to everyone.

Review: Free Guy
During the course of the pandemic I have genuinely missed sitting in the cinema with my snacks to watch a film on the big screen, legit the last film I saw in cinemas before the pandemic was Parasite. So when cinemas opened up again my friend and I jumped at the chance to see Black Widow which was incredible. However a few weeks later we found ourselves struggling for choice with only three films being shown at our local cinema which ultimately led us to taking a chance on Free Guy. We both had vague recollections of the trailer of the film and figured we couldn't really go wrong with Ryan Reynolds and Jodie Comer so what's the worst that could happen? Sometimes going into a film screening with no expectations is a good thing because we were not expecting Free Guy to blow us away like it did.

Safety Not Guaranteed - A Movie Review
If we’re going to time travel, you have to have a reason to go back. Safety Not Guaranteed traveled into theaters in 2012. A team of journalists is given the assignment to invest in a man’s time travel ad. This experiment gives everyone a chance to be happy about their lives.

Sweet Girl
Parents and their children, where do we stop and they begin. Sweet Girl tells the story of a devoted family man Ray Cooper, embarking on a bloody, violent pursuit of revenge and justice against the ultimate Big Bad pharmaceutical company Bioprime, responsible for pulling a potentially life saving drug: Sparrow, from the market just before his wife dies from cancer. The movie starts with a man hunt for Ray Cooper by the FBI ending with him on the roof at PNC Park stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and jumping off into the waterways. Then the story jumps back to years earlier.

We’ll figure out our plan in life. Maybe not now, but you will. Arriving in theaters in 2008, Sunshine Cleaning is about a woman fed up with her slow-moving job as a maid. Discovering a biohazard removal/crime scene clean-up job, Rose and her sister form their own business. Cleaning homes of recently deceased, the women learn more than they expected to from it.

‘Sweet Girl’ Review—Conventional Action Excitement
Here’s a bit of film critic BTS for you: when a studio believes critics will dislike a film, they will either not screen the movie early, or they will allow critics to watch it early, but only allow them to publish the review once the movie is available to the general public. Unfortunately, this is one of those movies.

Dune: The cult Sci-Fi novel and the new movie
Dune – the 1st in a 6-book series, written in 1965 by Frank Herbert is potentially one of the littlest known sci-fi novels in modern times. However simultaneously it has sold 20 million copies worldwide with an influence on culture to match. It can be felt all over the place, from movies such as Star Wars, The Chronicles of Riddick, and The Matrix, to tv shows like Star Trek, to books such as Game of Thrones and, quite possibly every sci-fi novel written after it. Similarly so its influence on pop culture is so big that it has been parodied and referenced in everything, from The Simpsons to The Big Bang Theory, South Park, the videogame Fallout, and believe it or not in the lyrics of Weapon of Choice by Fatboy Slim. Some when they hear the name ‘Dune’ will have images in their head of the 1984 movie by David Lynch, starring a young Kyle MacLachlan, which had a soundtrack scored by Toto (yes them of Africa fame) and Brian Eno. The movie itself, although a flop has gone on to amass a cult following. More recently an updated 2-part movie, filmed by Denis Villeneuve (Sicario, Arrival and Blade Runner 2049) starring an ensemble cast, was to have its 1st part released in December of 2020. However the global COVID-19 pandemic caused the movie to be pulled, and a future release date of October 2021 issued. In preparation of the release of the movie last year I decided to read the novel.

Reminiscence
In the near future, The oceans have started to reclaim the earth. From this catastrophe came the battle for the borders wars for the remaining dry land. People who lived behind protective walls survived, but those who weren’t drowned. Then came the land barons who bought up all the dry land (now called baron country) for pennies on the dollar, profiting off of the desperate trying to escape the floods.

My Review of "Maze Runner: The Death Cure"
Maze Runner: The Death Cure came out back in 2018. The first movie had come out in 2014 and the sequel came out the year after. There was much worry that this franchise wouldn't be able to finish off the trilogy as there was quite a long hiatus for the last episode. Due to the length of the hiatus I'm sure a lot of you may have forgotten what had happened in the previous movies by the time you had watched this movie.
