Soul - A Movie Review
A spark isn’t a soul’s purpose - it’s a meaning of life. Soul is Pixar’s latest film released to Disney+. A struggling musician has an out of body experience. Transported to a world called ‘The Great Before’, Joe cannot return to earth unless he mentors an infant soul. The journey that follows opens their minds.

My Review of "The King of Staten Island"
The King of Staten Island is a movie that came out in 2020 that some believe is very close to the true life story of the lead actor Pete Davidson. You have to go into this movie in a certain mindset in order to enjoy this movie though. The main character isn't the most likeable person. Although the people all around him are extremely likeable. It made me kind of pissed that he treats the people around him so horribly.

Isn't It Romantic Isn't Actually Romantic At All
So, I unapologetically love rom coms. I think the good ones are fun and sweet and let you relive a moment of happiness at their best and the bad ones can usually at least give you some entertainment in their stupidity. I love them all the same and have no time for people that write off the whole genre because they're formulaic. News flash, most entertainment is, especially superhero movies. The trick to good storytelling is creating an interesting character or narrative that makes use of its tropes wisely.

My Review of "Cobra Kai: Season One"
Cobra Kai: Season One is a series that I've been avoiding for the longest time. I remember liking the original Karate Kid movie but I wasn't a huge fan of the series because I don't remember seeing the sequel. My friend has been hassling me to watch this TV series but because I wasn't a huge fan of the franchise I never bothered. Fast-forward to 2021 and the third season of this series has recently come out and I get curious about the series. It's finally time to take the dive and I am not sorry that I finally succumbed to peer pressure.

Wonder Woman 1984(2020)- Review
Wonder Woman 1984 is a superhero film, sequel to the original film Wonder Woman (2017). As its name suggests it is set in 1984 decades after Diana/Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) helped stop World War I with the assistance of Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) who was eventually martyred in doing so, at the end of the first film. 66 years after that Diana is living in Washington D.C. working as an anthropologist in the Smithsonian Museum. She majorly leads a quiet & lonely life, functioning as a vigilantly from time to time and assisting local authorities curb petty crimes. The primary story starts when Diana gets acquainted with Barbara Ann Minerva (Kristen Wiig) a new employee at the museum. Barbara is a learned woman but fairly anonymous & ignored by her peers. The FBI has asked for the museum's assistance and in turn Barbra's to identify a few antiquities that were seized by them after a failed robbery attempt. Among these artefacts there is a dreamstone, initially dismissed as a fake and of being of not much value, apart from its aesthetics, by both Barbra & Diana. Still, they unwittingly make individual wishes jokingly and instantly go on with their lives not giving much thought to the stone. Little did they know it was a real dreamstone and their wishes have come true. Maxwell Lord (Pedro Pascal), a businessman, knows the reality of the stone and when he learns it is at the Smithsonian Museum he displays himself as a donor and deceivingly acquires the stone. Maxwell takes a few rash decisions with the stone, the use of which can lead to Armageddon and the end of the world. Now it's upto Diana to do all she can to stop him, in the process she gets help from an old friend & finds herself at odds with a new one.

My Review of "Hamilton"
Hamilton is probably one of the last things I thought I would be watching in 2020. It came out not too long on Disney plus but it's a musical and about American history. I've never really been into musicals but things have surprised me in the past. This one is different all my friends would say to me. It's rapping and it's not the same corny old musical that you think it is. They were right. There's so much more to this musical than I thought.

Coolie No. 1' turns into the subsequent most exceedingly awful appraised film on IMDb.
Coolie No 1 has been quite possibly the most discussed films of the year for clear reasons. It turns out to be the revamp of David Dhawan's 1995 film of a similar name wherein Varun Dhawan ventured into Govinda's point of view, while Sara Ali Khan was seen assuming Karisma Kapoor's job. While there has been a pattern of changing exemplary motion pictures in Bollywood, there were a great deal of assumptions from Varun starrer Coolie No 1. Other than given the way that the Govinda starrer was a cut of life satire with a powerful appeal, flawless comic timings, Kader Khan's astounding discoursed and normal entertaining vibe, the assumptions were at its pinnacle.

My Review of "Superintelligence"
Superintelligence came out very quietly on HBO in 2020. I think this movie was overshadowed by the huge Warner Brothers 2020 movie deal that was recently made. It's too bad because this is a nice little comedy but I wouldn't say it would blow your mind. It's like many of the Melissa McCarthy movies of the past that we all come to love.
