My Review of "Guest House"
Guest House is a 2020 comedy and I'm not entirely sure how they got it greenlit. There's some old school comedy that I recognize from the 90's but it's not exactly a great thing. Some of the jokes in this movie are truly outdated and needed to be reread before someone approved them. How did any studio think this would be okay to release to the public? I was very close to not finishing this movie because of how bad it was. There was this thing inside of me thinking that it has to have at least one good moment but that moment never came.

‘Wonder Woman 1984’ Review — A Disappointing Follow-Up
I had bought tickets to see this film in the theater with my siblings, but with the increasing coronavirus cases, I decided it would be best to refund my tickets and watch the film on my TV on HBO Max instead. And despite my passionate love of the theatrical experience, I don’t regret my decision.

Greenland (2020)
Just please give us a call if you find out anything when you get there.Like where we can go to be safe. Nothing like a decent disaster movie every now and then. A film that can satisfy the disaster tourist in you. The number of such films that have already been made is countless. The causes of global destruction are varied. There were devastating earthquakes (“Earthquake” and only recently “San Andreas”) that lifted up plateaus and ripped apart entire metropolises. Boats that sank because of a huge wave (“The Poseidon Adventure”) or a stray lump of ice (“Titanic”). Erupting volcanoes (“Dante’s Peak”), oncoming ice ages (“The Day after Tomorrow”), tsunamis (“Lo Imposible”), or (and more appropriately at the moment) a rapidly spreading, deadly virus (“Contagion”). The storyline of such disaster films is generally the same. In the first place, you already know what’s going to happen and so you wait patiently for the catastrophic moment to kick in. Next, you’re witnessing the effects of the announced disaster. And secretly you feel that blissful moment realizing you are only a silent witness and not physically present. And each time, it ends well for the protagonists (with some random victims though). They manage to escape death in a miraculous way. Such films usually end with apocalyptic images that show how devastating it all was.

‘Soul’ Review — Deeply Moving
Pete Docter, the director of Pixar classics such as Monsters, Inc., Inside Out, and my personal favorite, Up, has released his newest fantasy comedy-drama, Soul. This film premieres on Disney+ today and it follows Joe Gardner (Jamie Foxx), a jazz musician working as a middle school band teacher who finally gets the gig of his life.

My Review of "The Muppet Christmas Carol"
The Muppet Christmas Carol is as fun as the title indicates. It came out back in 1992 when movies weren't quite as political as they are nowadays. The movie pretty much follows the classic story to a T but with the quirky Muppet twist to things.

Avatar: Does Environment Play a Crucial Role in Bending Battles?
Avatar: The Last Airbender does not have a unique power system, and it uses the classic four elements of water, air, fire, and earth, to create a mythology that has millions of fans hooked to the show for over a decade now. The power system is quite simple to understand and is an essential aspect of the famous show. However, there is one quite common misconception among fans about bending that is hardly ever pointed out. Surprisingly, many fans have believed it for such a long time.

My Review of "Break"
Break is a French movie that came out back in 2018. Initially I thought this was going to be a breakdance movie because of the name and the fact they mentioned that there was some sort of bboy battle. This was kind of a trojan horse to lead me to this movie. It is hardly a breakdance movie but it's not an entirely terrible movie either.

My Review of "Ariana Grande: Excuse Me, I Love You"
Ariana Grande: Excuse Me, I Love You is definitely not the documentary that it's trying to sell itself to be. It is more of a concert video than full out documentary. Sure there are glimpses in seeing what goes into the production of her grandiose productions but there are only snippets.
