IT(2017):Lazy Review


  I've been stuck thinking about what to post and I got nothing. But I remembered that I watched "IT" late December and I wasn't scared surprisingly. I mean,they were a couple of jump scares but overall nothing really scared me. It was a fun movie though and I see why it got a sequel announced and universal praise.

It's based of the first chapter of the Stephen King novel of the same name and I have read a couple of pages from  the book but I haven't finished it because I'm lazy and I procrastinate a lot(I haven't still finished reading a song of ice and fire).

  Set in the '90-somethings(I'm lazy don't eat me) in a town of something,something(I know,you're disappointed) a series of kids get missing and the adults of the town act like nothing's happening.

Bill Denbrough(that's right,I remembered his name) looses his brother as well. Billy and other kids in the town(including his friends) start to see their fears appear in front of them and it turns out it's all because of the creepy, scary and powerful clown Pennywise("IT")  who can conjure up scary illusions but gets beaten by the kids using stuff like a baseball bat for some weird reason.

  The actors are great in this and I think one of the reasons is because Hollywood actually allowed Kids to play Kids and not brooding 23 year olds pretending to be 15-ish. Everybody in this flick brought their A-game and it's one of the reasons why the film works out so well. All the actors kill it in comedy scenes as well as the dramatic "scary" ones. Pennywise is actually a pretty funny clown and I liked him for the most part.

  If you're a big fan of stranger things and you can't wait for season 3 I think this can be your 2hour plus fix for the mean time but,if you haven't seen stranger things and you like movies set in the past with great characters that also happens to be horror,then you should still watch it. It has very entertaining and amusing character interactions and dynamics. The kid actors do great especially the guy who plays Mike from stranger things,Finn Wolfhard. I'm sorry for being so lazy and not posting regularly, I really am.

IT is an entertaining  ride with great characters,great music and an enjoyable villain,Bill Skarsgård kills it(no pun intended) as Pennywise the friendly neighbour hood child abuser/serial killer. At the end of the day,IT is a very good film that will keep your eyes glued to the end because of it's Fun Characters and good story so check it out if you haven't already,I'll assume a lot of you have because it's been out for quite sometime now.

  I seriously don't know what to post about anymore I think there's something wrong with me. If you have any recommendations, you can hit me up on social media(top right) and I'll try my best to post what you want me to post!. Also,big thanks to all of you for sharing my blog to your family and friends,it means a lot. And I know I'm lazy,annoying and not the best writer but I love making these posts so I'll try to be better!!!.

Who Would Win? Batman Vs Spiderman

Okay before I start I'd like you all to know I am not being partial in any way at all. I had this argument with my friend Andrea a couple of days back and now I feel like sharing on who I think would win,but I realised they are two perspective 1-choosing a winner based on accomplishment 2-choosing a winner based on powers or strengths 1- this perspective is basically saying "oh look at this let's check out both characters accomplishments",they both have taken down a large amount of enemies ranging from smart villains to dumb ones,they've both faced foes that are big and strong. So it's only reasonable to think Batman would win here,not by a long shot though because Spiderman is a force to be reckoned with. Batman has basically done more important things,he has defeated Superman severally,dodged darkseid's omega beams,outsmarted braniac,I mean the man is a bit fluent in kryptonian and he knows several martial art skills and he's just a human......

STRANGER THINGS 2

   A lot of movies and shows are set in the past these days but in my own opinion, none of them really do it like STRANGER THINGS. If you remove the acting,the amazing plot,and chemistry, what you're left with is these show that has a very '80s feel because of the overall sound from the show and visuals.      Season 2 is a blast and it simply perfected the formula season 1 set which is, simple plot,great characters,good chemistry and amazing(classic)music. My face everytime Dustin jokes       The Season starts a year after and all our characters are basically trying to settle on after the ending of the first season. Mike's still trying to communicate with Eleven, Will is bullied in school, he's called "zombie boy", Lucas is well still Lucas and Dustin has teeth now,"Prrrr"(you'll get the joke soon enough)       I'll try not to be very spoiler-y so let's start up!!!. •MAX AND BILLY     The dick The new...

Enjoying music (on your own)

Music is not for the English or French,  or Italian, or anyone at all.  Music is the simple or complex cluster of sounds that sound pleasing, acceptable to the ear. Needless say, almost every person appreciates good music and some have mistaken this appreciation as an avenue to create something. Some succeed at it, and others - a whole bunch - don't. Music isn't just something you create on a whim, unless you're Labrinth 🐐 Seriously, creating music is difficult, complex and very stressful. But there's an easier part and it's called LISTENING - not like Wizkid FC and Tiwa Savage's gladiators sha.  People oft imagine music to be "better" when the speakers are going like the drums of judgement day and uhh... no. Don't do that. Music inflated by volume is noise. [Unless it's metal, then KPK👍] There are 5 simple ways to enjoy music when step 0 - good speakers/headphones - is achieved. - First, music is best enjoyed in a peaceful environment, not a...
