'TWD' Season 8 Part 2 Review: Well I'm Glad That's Finally Over!


• TWD S8 Part 2 • Review • 6/10 •

Finally, it's over. Being a big fan of TWD, I really struggled with how the first half of season 8 ended, killing Carl off in such a pathetic way after what he survived, when he wasn't even suppose to die. Even still, because of my love for what this show use to be, I felt like I should soldier on, so I did. This brings us up to the second half of the season which was even worse than the first half. It got to the point where I was just using TWD for background noise, and that's sad. Remember the first 4 seasons, they were amazing, hell even the 5th and 6th weren't overly bad, the point is, I could rarely ever take my eyes off of the screen, I was emotionally invested in the characters and what they went through, but now, now it feels like something you would watch on the syfy channel and I'm starting to lose all hope. All this season did was go round and around in circles, or more back and forth, back and forth, the worse thing is, after everything; the threats, the promises and all the pathetic little fights, Negan didn't even die -- in the "all out war" -- when he was suppose to, but Carl did when he wasn't, and then to top it off, it was because of Carl's death (that shouldn't of happened!!) that Rick left him alive!

The war was ok, but nothing special, I'm looking forward to Morgan crossing over to FTWD, that could be cool, Dwight was Interesting and one of the best actors this season, and Eugene was pretty dope, other than that, it was just meh!

Gimple has promised that season 9 will be different, I'm hoping for the best, but let's be honest, it's not the first time in recent years he has promised it will get better.

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

• 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,
