Spider-Man: No Way Home

Spider-Man in the MCU has always been a mixed bag for me, I loved his introduction in civil war, didn’t enjoy his first solo film that much, hated Far From Home but, with the hype surrounding this film, I had to go see it myself before the very annoying trolls spoilt it for me. This review is spoiler free and I’ll mostly be talking about what we already saw from the trailers thus far.

After his battle with Mysterio at the end of Far From Home, Peter Parker’s identity has been revealed to the world and he must now find a way to navigate through life as a framed hero in the eyes of the public. This leads him to request help from Doctor Strange so he can make the world forget he’s Spider-Man. During the process of casting the spell, Peter interrupts Strange and botches it completely which then leads to villains from other realities who know Spider-Man to come through into the world of the marvel cinematic universe.

We get to see a lot of villains from the old Spider-Man films come through and Peter finds a way (with help of Strange and his friends) to stop them. Strange then reveals to Peter that these villains all die and that he’ll be sending them to the point in time which they do and this doesn’t sit well with Peter. The two battle it out and the aftermath leads to things Peter would never expect.

I really enjoyed the experience even though the film isn’t perfect or super cohesive. They’re some weird stuff in it but I feel for the most part, they knock it out of the park. No Way Home is a very interesting film. I have to commend how it found a way to make all the easter eggs and references weave into the story rather than just be there for the sake of it. They were moments where the usual forced humor was dragged on too long and most of the villains are kind of reimagined in order to fit more in this universe. When this film is seen by every one, they’ll be conversations about it for decades, they’re so many moments that you can’t help but smile about and scream to. For any Spidey fan, some of the things you’ll see here will feel like things of dreams.

If you’re looking for something entertaining to watch you’ll not be disappointed but, I must say this, if you’re looking for something as good as Spider-Man 2 or The Amazing Spider-Man, you may not love this film. I can’t lie, the fan boy in me was entertained thoroughly but, the wannabe critic had some issues and moments of cringe through out the film.

At its core, No Way Home is really just over two hours of fan service but, who are we if not fans? Go see it and tell me what you thought about it if you have already in the comments. Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe!

Severance: An Unforgettable Thriller

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you didn't remember the stress of your workplace when you get home? From the mind of Dan Erickson, directed by Ben Stiller and Aoife McArdle, Severance offers an answer to the aforementioned question and pushes the limit by asking " when your consciousness is spilt into two, which one is the real you? " The series follows a severed employee at Lumon, Mark who has recently been promoted to the Head of Microdata and Refinement Department after the sudden resignation of his boss and the recruitment of a new employee, Helly Riggs. Plot Severance has a unique plot, while the execution of a series without a definite blueprint can prove difficult, it does not fall into this hole. The series answers (almost)all the questions it poses in the first few episodes but ends on a note that will leave you spiraling and brimming with inquisitiveness. Characters For every character, we follow two distinct ...

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...

KOE NO KATACHI: A REVIEW?

Koe no Katachi (A Silent Voice) is a 2016 Japanese [obviously] animated film written by Reiko Yoshida and directed by Naoko Yamada. The film is based on the manga of the same name, written by the great Yoshitoki Ōima. I just want to talk type about this beautiful anime; don't think of this as some sort of review. P.S.: Little spoilers here and there. It starts off with Ishida - who'd later be the main male character - trying to commit suicide. And may I say... the musical build-up to the point where he is to jump off the bridge... SUBARASHI! It's utterly gorgeous [for the lack of a befitting word]. It's not over done with sad sounds or large synths. It's almost inaudible, gentle; it's the kind of music that would play in the head of a sad or depressed person. And it is explained in detail - his dilemma. The movie's title makes sense because of Nishimiya. She's deaf. In middle school, she's a victim of bullying from her classmates in form of ignor...

First Listen: Hamond - Pirate Radio

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?
