the little things review.


 note: there are little spoilers in this review...
anyone that's a fan of good thriller and drama would be hyped to see what our movie leads - Leto, Malek, and Washington - would bring to the scene. the movie is set in 1990 and a serial killer is on the loose, killing females gruesomely. his trademark? - a nylon over their heads as the dead bodies bleed out. the detective on the case, Baxter (Malek), teams up with deputy sheriff Joe Deacon (Washington) out of what seems like respect for Joe's back story.

i thought this was funny.

the acting is exceptional as you'd expect (or not). the role of deputy sheriff isn't anything out of the ordinary for Washington given his track record and performance in The Equalizer. Leto's act as Sparma is a dazzle - the strides, accent, looks, creepy details. it almost makes one worry where he's been all through the first hour of the movie. that said, the movie is an overstretch given the ending. with good cinematography, there's enough dust and rust to remind us of the twentieth century.

this scene - elite!

"it's the little things that gets you caught" and one would expect little details to lead to the killer, maybe a missed slip, yet all that's to see is one man messing with two agents of the state and getting a boner from pictures of dead girls. no matter how you view it, Deacon has no sensible reason to be obsessed with the case. there's no actual motive and Baxter becomes the man he shouldn't. 
the promising plot falls on its face making one question if two hours hasn't been wasted and Deacon lies to allow Baxter have a good night sleep; to able him father his two little girls. why? you'd have to watch to find out.

Who Would Win? Batman Vs Spiderman

Written By
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

Written By
   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...

IT(2017):Lazy Review

Written By
  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 th...

13 REASONS WHY 2: FIRST IMPRESSION

Written By
The controversial Netflix show has arrived with another season and I can only say it has only gotten more crazy. As a huge fan of season one, I was initially super hyped with the announcement of season 2 because a lot of things were set up in the finale and a couple of the last few episodes show that the tapes were just “Hannah Baker’s side of the story”. It has been four months since the events of season one and everybody from the tapes as well as those not on it have been seriously affected and it reflects on how they now behave. A lot of things have changed,Alex tried to kill himself and the bullet just barely missed it’s mark leaving him with mild amnesia.Tyler the photography nerd starts up the confessions and it turns out he starts the whole viewing Hannah from a different perspective, Alex’s girlfriend(can’t remember her name) is also facing issues of her own,she is trying to get back into her school life which includes cheerleader but it’s really difficult because peo...
