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.

AQUAMAN: A TITANIC WAVE!

Written By
    So I just saw Aquaman and I've got a couple of things to say. Before I start, if you were worried about it being bad, you're safe; it's not.  So let's start from the most essential part of the film; 1. THE STORY Arthur and his Father     Before I started, I was a bit scared that the film would act as a justice league sequel of sorts rather than an aquaman stand alone film and I was glad to see that they only referenced the film once and it was for about four seconds.  Aquaman isn't trying to set up a million future films or anything, it's focused on the story and the story is really simple. Arthur and Mera journeying together    There's a cliché fate of the world stake but this time, the stakes revolve around Arthur himself.  This fight is not for the justice league, it's a personal journey of Arthur Curry, the half breed known as the Aquaman.  Loosely based on the new52 storyline; Throne of Atlantis, Aquaman...

First Listen: SZA - SOS

Written By
much like Kendrick Lamar with Mr Morale & The Big Steppers , SOS is several things. underwhelming being one. the twenty three song album is not what you expect of an artiste that's been away from the solo scene for five years. note: is it a bad album? no. so does it possess the dawg? sadly, no. SOS is that album with a poorly mixed intro, forgettable songs, i-will-need-more-listens, and (of course) a few songs that are actually GREAT ! we all know the theme of the album but one of the reason it fails might be because too much is happening. one minute it's rnb/soul, next minute it's (t)rap. i mean... F2F is rock ffs. there's also lyricsm that reminds us of kdot. coincidence? it's definitely not an album i'll be spinning often but hopefully a couple listens changes my opinion . & just so we're clear, CTRL is the better album and Phoebe Bridgers is amazing!

First Listen: Hamond - Pirate Radio

Written By
  since i heard  windows , i have been sloppy on Hamond.  Pirate Radio  is almost everything i imagine indie pop to be. it's glittery, experimental, vocal, and hard work. half the time, i don't even understand his poetry but it sounds so  damn good . the other half explores experiences of failed/failing relationships, problematic partners, and misplaced gaiety. storytelling like this always gets me into a frenzy, especially with fitting production.  the unconventional mix and production sets this art piece aside from the rest within its genre. especially the drums. nothing cliché with his lyrics or style of music. just pure, honest music that makes me bust some ass to his misfortune. 😀 mehn, it is definitely one of the better listens from 2022. give it a spin?

Loki Is Very Very Horrible: An Honest Rant

Written By
  You probably clicked on this because of my very clickbait-y title and I’m very proud of myself for doing that. The title isn’t so clickbait-y because I do think Loki is horrible, well....it became horrible. Breath in, put on your reading glasses and refrain yourself from insulting me till you’re done reading.  Spoilers Ahead Before I proceed, I would like to state the following, to begin with, I have forgotten a lot about this show even if it’s quite recent so, everything I say in this my coming rant will simply be from a place of how it made me feel so I might suck with specifics (yes, I’m proofing myself from diehards) and in addition, this post is totally not biased in any way as I did genuinely want to love Loki and I really really enjoyed the very first episode. Now, let’s begin. I think my biggest issue with the new mcu shows is how they all have very interesting beginnings (and sometimes middles) but, the endings are just so bloody awful. If I were to rank them in ter...
