'Coco' Review: Disney And Pixar Are At it Again!!


Disney and Pixar really know how to tug on them heartstrings. Coco is another prime example of how emotionally involved we all get over the films they make, you would think being that there for kids it would just be a kids film, wrong! Time and time again they release films that are perfect for the hole family, but I honestly believe some of these films including Coco are more aimed at us adults then these young kids that dare to dream!

Miguel is a young boy who dreams of being a musician, but not just any musician, the Ernesto of musicians! One big problem sits in the way of his dream, his family have completely shut themselves off from all things music, obviously there is a back story as to why, but you can watch it and find that out yourselves.

Generations upon generations of his family have all been zapateros (shoemakers) and all have not listened or even thought about the rich, beautiful sound that is music! Could you imagine that, living in a world with no music, I live for music and movies, without it I couldn't work or even get to work for that fact, I couldn't relax, be mad or sad, get in my zone, gym it, literally everything would be shit. We all have our own music that takes us to that place where we feel free, where were at peace with ourselves, the only place that you can sometimes feel sane!

Anyway so does Miguel, he eats, breathes, and sleeps music! Knowing that he can't find music a home in his family, he decides to go out and "seize the moment" for himself, hoping he can once and for all, break the "curse" that looms over his family.

When he sets out on his magical journey with his spirit guide, Dante -- the nuttiest little dog you will ever lay your eyes on -- we witness some of the most beautiful animations, music, dialogue and characters that I have seen in any Disney flick to date and it really teaches you. Coco is filled with valuable life lessons about dreaming and unconditional love, but Coco is ultimately a story about the power of relationships and why familia is so so important.

Paul Thomas Anderson Week: 'There Will Be Blood' Review!

Image
• There Will Be Blood, 2007 • 8.2/10 • Firstly, I would like to start with Daniel Day Lewis' mesmerizing performance as the ruthless oil prospector, Daniel Plainview. The scumbag cons local landowners into selling their valuable land for pittance, and then he comes along like a "straw" and "sucks it all up," leaving him very wealthy and everyone else in his way. Paul Dano, Wow, do you really expect anything less than magic when it comes to him acting, he's a true tour de force. I wish we had preachers like Eli Sunday up at my local church. Johnny Greenwood's score is brilliant, it really gets under your skin, you then combine that with the gorgeous cinematography, smart screenplay and the brilliant acting, you then have yourself a film where even if your not paying complete attention, you will still hate the lead by the end, all the same! Yeah, I did just say that. I'm sorry peeps but it got a little boring at times (it didn't keep me hook

'Tomb Raider' Review: First Successful Game Adaptation! Kudos!

Image
• Tomb Raider, 2018 • 7.9/10 • Alicia Vikander gives Lara depth and personality much like Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones. She's vulnerable, but she's also stubborn and focused to survive on her own and has never lost hope that she'll once again see her father. The story is built on the reboot of the video game series, but takes another way after the arrival at the destination where most of the action takes place. When the story follows the video game it has weaknesses (as so many games adaptations do), but when it stands on its own, it shows glimpses of coming adventures for Lara Croft that makes you want more -- much because of Vikanders grounded performance. The script is by no means perfect, the CGI was a bit spotty in places, and yes there are a few cliches and overused story devices here and there, but overall it is an enjoyable film and our first successful game adaptation! Yesss! P.S - Dominc West was the perfect choice for Mr. Croft!

'Love, Simon' Review: What A Nice Surprise!

• Love, Simon • Spoiler-Free • 8.7/10 • Well, what a surprise.... Don't get me wrong, the story of 'Love, Simon' has pretty much all been done before, just not executed as well. Bar the classic stereotypes and some cheesy moments, this film had me laughing out loud and crying even louder! Tbh when you watch a film like this, you normally expect it to try to be, too clever, too cute and too precious, but boy I have never been so far off the mark. The intelligence, depth, and charm were all legitimate and sincere here and it truly made the film into something rather special. It's funny, sweet, caring, true, real, and should pretty much be labelled a "True Story" for all its worth. The acting on all accounts was second-to-none but Josh Duhamel had the biggest tear-jerking scene going! I was sobbing like a real man! And Nick Robinson was believable and nothing short of phenomenal! Kudos! If you can get past the cheese-factor, you will definetly Love,
