Movie Review: 'Proud Mary'
Proud Mary has the ambition and the movie star to become a franchise. The question it leaves behind, however, is whether or not the people behind it have the talent and investment to make it something more than just a stock action movie. For my money, other than star Taraji P. Henson, Proud Mary comes up quite short. Other than the star, there is nothing memorable or particularly special about Proud Mary.

Movie Review: 'Almost Paris'
Almost Paris is a confounding movie. On the one hand, I like the characters; they’re consistently interesting people. On the other hand, some of the storytelling choices and the editing of scenes are so abrupt and odd that I can hardly make sense of the film as a whole. Directed by Domenica Cameron-Scorsese, Almost Paris is not a bad movie but it’s quite a peculiar movie.

'Where The Wild Things Are' (2009) Review
Directed by Spike Jonze Starring Max Records, Catherine O’Hara, Forest Whitaker, James Gandolfini, Paul Dano Rating 7/10 Sitting down to watch a movie which was based on a kid's story book, I expected a heartwarming tale of self-discovery and an insight into the complicated and creative mind of a child. However, Where The Wild Things Are is so much more.

'The End of the F***ing World'
WARNING!: SPOILERS FOR THE END OF THE F***ING WORLD AHEAD!" When it's really cold out, I tend to never leave my house. When I never leave my house, I get bored pretty quickly. So, while browsing on my phone for a bit, I found an advertisement for a show on Netflix called The End of the F***ing World. No joke, that's actually the title. I was pretty intrigued, mostly because the advertisements looked pretty funny.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle Review
*Warning: Spoilers In these days of remakes, reboots and sequels, it is very rare to come across a film that preserves the essence of the original while standing out on its own. However, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle does so and with flourish. I was a little skeptical of it holding up against the original masterpiece starring Robin Williams, but it certainly is a good homage to the legendary character's legacy. Now on to the review:
