Things Heard & Seen - A Netflix Movie Review
Either I just saw a ghost or the writers who are trying to figure out what happens next. Based on the novel written by Elizabeth Brundage, Things Heard & Seen is a 2021 Netflix adaptation. Moving into a new home, Catherine suspects that they are not alone. Discovering that dark murders took place in this house, her husband refuses to believe her. Their constant arguing causes a strain on their marriage.

Mary Queen of Scots (2018)
This has been a film I wanted to see for age. The trailer looked spectacular and the cast looked great. The Tudor and Stuart dynasty are the most talked about subjects in British history, and Mary Queen of Scots and Elisabeth I were two of the strongest female figures of their time. Mary was beheaded on Elizabeth‘s orders in 1587. In this telling of the tragic Queen Mary, she seeks sisterhood with her cousin, Elizabeth I (they’re technically first-cousins-once-removed), but much easier and more respectful to call each other cousins.

My Review of "Invincible: Season One"
Invincible: Season One is one of the biggest surprises for me in 2021. It's a TV series that is exclusive to Amazon Prime. I heard about this show for a little while but didn't actually check it out until the last few weeks of its airing. Boy was I glad I checked it out because I absolutely soaked it all in.

My Review of "The Mitchells Vs The Machines"
The Mitchells Vs The Machine is Netflix's latest 2021 animated family film. We're still starved for new movie content nowadays and I think this should satiate some of our appetites. It's a family friendly film so it goes without saying that you should expect a fairly predictable movie. The execution however was very well delivered.

My Review of "Nomadland"
Nomadland was released in 2020 with not a lot of publicity until recently. It's a movie that wouldn't appeal to all tastes but has very interesting and deep concepts. As I watched the movie I continued to understand different messages of what it was trying to say to the audience. It's too bad these movies aren't commercial successes. The industry would feel much more diverse with companies willing to take chances on different types of stories.

‘Without Remorse’ Review — Forgettable Thrills
Stefano Sollima directs Without Remorse, an action thriller that serves as a spin-off of the Jack Ryan films. The film stars Michael B. Jordan as John Clark, a US Navy SEAL whose wife is murdered, sending him down a dark path as he must find the people who did this and get his revenge.

Let's Talk About GODZILLA VS KONG...
You know, despite not being much of a Monster-Verse devotee, I was quite excited to see Godzilla vs. Kong. Firstly, the trailer looked great; especially that final shot in Hong Kong. And secondly, the box office numbers are surprisingly high for a movie released during a worldwide pandemic. Even though I elected to watch it on HBO Max, I reasoned that if Godzilla vs. Kong is doing this well, then there has to be something exceptional about it, right?

Review of 'The Infinity Courts'
Eighteen-year-old Nami Miyamoto is certain her life is just beginning. She has a great family, just graduated high school, and is on her way to a party where her entire class is waiting for her--including, most importantly, the boy she's been in love with for years. The only problem? She's murdered before she gets there. When Nami wakes up, she learns she's in a place called Infinity, where human consciousness goes when physical bodies die. She quickly discovers that Ophelia, a virtual assistant widely used by humans on Earth, has taken over the afterlife and is now posing as a queen, forcing humans into servitude the way she'd been forced to serve in the real world. Even worse, Ophelia is inching closer and closer to accomplishing her grand plans of eradicating human existence once and for all. As Nami works with a team of rebels to bring down Ophelia and save the humans under her imprisonment, she is forced to reckon with her past, her future, and what it is that truly makes us human. From award-winning author Akemi Dawn Bowman comes an incisive, action-packed tale that explores big questions about technology, grief, love, and humanity.

Justice Society: World War 2
DC has a stellar reputation when it comes to their animated films. They combine all the elements that make a fantastic story come to life. Justice Society: World War 2 may be the best indication yet of just how vast and amazing the multiverse can be.
