Killers of the Flower Moon (2023)

Wilted Flowers and a Crying Moon

[10/10 · 4 March 2024]

This qas surprisingly fantastic, but when you're watching a Martin Scorececi's expect it to be a Masterpiece of art and with the listed casts I know I was in for a qild ride.

This movie will have you on the edge of your Chair from the moment it starts, a combination of everything, including the cold comedy that'll have you laughing but concerned about what's gonna happened next.

Leo, Bobby my word, and to Lily Gladstone, darling welcome to Superstardom, because of this film I will be closely watching your work moving forth, amazing.

And finally to Mr. Martin Scorecesi, you have never fail to amaze me on the way you bring a plot to life. This film here will definitely be in your top 5 of my collections sir and respect to all the Co-directors and writers who've also worked on this magnificent project, thank you, thank you and respect to all my native tribes all over North America, one love.

Bob Marley: One Love (2024)

One Love

[9/10 · 2 March 2024]

As a youth growing up in South Carolina (The City of Anderson), I never thought I'd cling on to such a fascinating Legend such as Bobby, but father (RIP) was such a fan; born in the late 50s of course kept man's record and from 1991 (Born in 1987), I listened to the Exodus (ft. The wailers LPs) and fell in love.

Respect to all my Rastas out there and big up to all the Hollywood, Jamaica and Great Britain head honchos who've allowed this film to finally made it to the big screens for the modern day youth to understand how impactful this man was.

Sometimes the only revolution needed is from the Soul within, and all of us on this precocious Planet posses it, express it respectfully and the let the mind just be, stay bless my good people, One Love and all Respect.

S.W.A.T. (2017– )

Let's Get Tactical

[10/10 · 24 January 2024]

S. W. A. T. - Special Weapons And Tactics Special: I have been looking to watch this show since 2017 (it's Debut season), but I kept pushing it back, until I revised the entire cast and my word this indeed Special, a perfect 10

Weapon: Armed with some of the toys I've seen in years (The Black List) to bring an action pack thriller and nearly each episodes; making you feel like a mini Film on each takes, it must take a great physical toll on the actors as well, they've all made me fall in love with the Director's and Writer's plot

Tactically: All tactics seen on each episodes are as real as it gets, as a Tom Clancy fans, it was like an episode of Rainbow Six, Close Counter Urban Warfare, you lads have done a fantastic job with this show, I will be recommending it to anyone who's interested indeed.

Echo (2023–2024)

Sounding Performance

[9/10 · 12 January 2024]

Ms. Alaqua, magnificent performance on this project, but I had a feeling after Hawkeyes she was going to step up her game, and big respect to the greatest Kingpin of all time, don Vicenzo. Echo should be on the Emmy's list of projects, released this year, the story was on point; tapping back and forth with the ancestors was very interesting to see. It felt like the conclusion of Hawkeyes blending in with Maya's passed, it all make sense, and then reintroducing the Kingpin to Marvel into a paternalistic, protective figure, but with the auro we've all come to expect. Verdict, a 9/10, and highly recommended, good stuff!

Outlaw Johnny Black (2023)

Oh DYNAMITE

[10/10 · 23 October 2023]

Good job to the Entire who worked on this project, indeed dynamite. Uncle Mike, thank you for finally bringing the Masterpiece of project to fruition after so many delays.

Bringing some of MMA's legend with you on this project was well appreciated, we need to do fleet of Western flick like this. I Highly recommend this movie to anyone who love Western but also with a blend of comedy attached as well man.

To all my Martial Art lovers (Boxing/MMAs), please go see this movie as soon as you are able to do so. If you are unable to attend live at a Cinema, please buy it on whatever platforms (Netflix, Prime, Paramount or Disney).

Reptile (2023)

Shreddingly Thrilling

[8/10 · 18 October 2023]

It was fascinating watching this Masterpiece of a flick, at first you'll say ok what is the plot? Because Justin Timberlake appears on screen right, uh-huh, then comes the Jeffe, Benicio Del Toro to bless you with one of the greatest performance ever since I've seen him on Sicario 1 and 2, amazing.

Netflix delivered once again 8/10, the title matched each characters in this movie, it seems that there a mystery in even the victim (No spoiling). As you continue to see the plot unraveled, then the protagonist will make suspicious of being the antagonist, sort of reminded me of the ZODIAC murder.

The cast was Amazing, from Mr. Pitt, Bogossian (Under Siege ii), Ato, Alicia (still Batgirl to me) and Don Dominick, and respect to everyone who partakes in this project. I highly recommend this movie and will be promoting it on my social media platforms at once! 🌹😔🌹

Three Amigos! (1986)

Wherever There's Injustice...Haha

[10/10 · 10 June 2023]

Yes folks they went in on this one, these 3 brilliant comics were too much for me in this flick and the singing, was marvelous. Comedy is something that cannot be taught, and these 3 gentleman have proven in this very movie that it can be genuinely done with real authenticity and fluidness.

My favorite part is when they found the situation wasn't fiction and they were truly in a hot mess and had to find a way to deal with the "Handsome" one. The Villains were funny, especially the "Boss" (Well the underboss), my only critic is that there was no sequel to this movie.

This is now in my top 5 Steve Martin films of all time, the Inspector, Chevy Chase, and Mr. Short, respect, respect, and much respect! *****

The Jerk (1979)

"Oh Nooooo"

[8/10 · 10 June 2023]

Watching this flick was actually a lesson to be passed to young upcoming stars. Rising to the top can easily be stripped away as fast as blinking an eye, and what a better actor chase to play this role than 1 of the Amigos himself, Steve Martin.

The Inspector was brilliant, I busted laughing in the introduction, and then you could see the character really express themselves in all its silliness. However I wanted to have a better conclusion to the plot, but I cannot complain, because the lesson learned from this movie was more to ponder over than the entertainment.

Verdict? 7/10, even though I personally gave it an 8/10 (Comic review), I highly recommend.

Blown Away (1994)

Wrong Head Phones Liam "I'm I gonna be OK"?

[9/10 · 9 June 2023]

I feel ashamed for not seeing this movie earlier in my younger days, an absolute monster full with Brilliant actors at their very best performance and including on of the Funniest lad that ever did it in Cinematic Comedy (Mr. Lloyd Bridges, Resting in Comedy Heavens). Seeing the Great Tommy Lee Jones vs Jeff (True Grits) Bridges alongside Mr. Whittaker was a Rush!.

From the beginning to the development you could sense the madness unraveling from the moment the eye contact was made at the Pub with the protagonist on the Telly. Although I could not figure out what to anticipate, but I felt that from that moment it was on. Forest, well done for partaking in another Masterpiece, absolutely a Must Watch, verdict? A perfect 9/10*

The Contractor (2022)

"You Can Never Go Home"

[10/10 · 23 May 2023]

Capn Spock versus Jack Bauer, hell yeah, to see these 2 go at it with the Mechanic Benny, I'd say this movie have left me very satisfied 10/10. The Plot was on point; reminding me of the 1 and the 2nd Jason Bourne, combine with The Mechanic.

Respect to the J. P. and Mr. Saleh for delivering an awesome script, adding that Tom Clancy's feel to this project. It kept me on the edge of seat to the very end. I hope that these Two continues onto a sequel for the Project, I'm asking for Part Two, please. And if Chris Pyne is willing, let's go for another, because this is very very well written, respect.

The Poison Rose (2019)

"Even The Old Nails Get Rusty"

[8/10 · 18 May 2023]

Seeing John Travolta (Top 5 in my Italian Actors list) on the same screen as Morgan "The Great" Freeman is a blessing, but when you throw in Brandon Fraser, Lady Famke (Golden Eye), "The Colonel" Robert Patrick, and "Boris" Peter Stomare in the mix, folks you are then in for a ride. I appreciated the plot having that 1970 feel, it felt like I was reading a novelty as the plot unfolded into classic PI , somber, Noir feel.

This is a vey underrated film and deserved more praise, John exceeded once again with an awesome performance, but all this couldn't be possible without the Hair designers, my word! I wanted more after the ending however. I definitely rate this movie as an 8/10.

Air (I) (2023)

Fly On To Victory!

[10/10 · 13 May 2023]

I must say that when I first the commercial for this film I was a bit nervous of its failure at the theaters, but was not thinking about the psychological impact of actually witness its grandeur and daring to actually merging the bio of the greatest Basketball Player of all time. Verdict, an absolute success by Amazon, Skydance Sports and Nike.

I highly recommend this movie to anyone and young athletes as well. The story was absolutely brilliant and appreciated keeping the nucleus (MJ) a mystery through it all. Matt Damon did again, that guy deserve an Oscar for this performance, surreal, speechless!

The Mandalorian: Chapter 21: The Pirate (2023) Season 3, Episode 5

The Mandalorian Army vs Pirates

[10/10 · 30 March 2023]

Star Wars fan, let us pay homage to Jon Favreau for precisely delivering the goods on this entire season. But, this particular Episode is the one that has the bar so far. Watching this visual adrenalin had me strapped to my chair from the start of the invasion to its conclusion.

I could have sworn that General Grievous came back; covered in green slimes, commanding his fleet above the skies like in the earlier 2000s. The dialog between the lead villain and the High Magistrate was as brieft and to the point; allowing the mayhem to swiftly begin.

Bringing the New Republic into fold is starting to show us that the finale will have Mando fans like me anticipating further chaos. I'd like to see Grogu takeover the next 2 EPs, so to all my Mando fans out there, we have asked for Jon to deliver and he's doing that beyond our demands, Respect!

Bosch (2014– )

The Rush!

[10/10 · 10 March 2023]

This got to be my favorite Cop show after the WIRE, holy mother of God; brilliantly done, I mean picking up from where the Wire left off and adding the extravaganza LA murky lifestyle of a detective really brings the NOIRE out of this magnificent project.

Titus, you have exceeded my expectation as if not, one of the coolest, coldest stare you'll ever see on screen folks. Jamie common, what a performance, but when the Director have found a way to add the Captain (Lance Reddick) on the Roster, you had me at season 1.

The adrenaline, chasing villains who fulfilled their roles with the highest acting skills I've seen this far. Drowning your emotion and attention into thinking wow, what if. To all those who enjoy a goos detective show, this is it, please remember The Fox Awaits.

The Consultant (2023)

MAD MEN ON HEYPERDRIVE....:-)

[10/10 · 4 March 2023]

Let us just say that I 've been waiting for this show since its announcement last year my good people. Having C. Waltz as the lead actor was indeed the main reason that peaked my interest in the project, but, Amazon bringing the book to life was a big surprise, I actually thought the show'd be cancelled.

Nat Wolf and Brittaney O'Grady really brought the Bacon home, I nearly mistaken him for the young gentleman who played in the movie Barbershop (Issac Rosenberg). The introduction grasped my attention from within 15 minutes, nailing to my chair. Folks I honestly binged it within 24 hours (Yes, all 8 EPs).

All 8 EPs were solid, I watched MAD MEN and honestly let go by season Four, but I have a feeling if this project is up for a sequel, I will be coming back for more, thank you, and many thanks to all the Writers, Directors and the Camera Crew for the office settings.

And last but not least, to the One and Only Mr. Christopher Waltz, Salud.

Jungle Cruise (2021)

Wild Wild

[10/10 · 19 February 2023]

I have awaited a while to see this movie because I wanted to read the and understand the plot to better my verdict. Emily blunt reminded of the lady Indiana Jones and combining that with The Rock's great sense of humor really brought this story to a whole new level. Thrilling and exited I was straight from the introduction; seeing how the director blended cgi technology with human innovation, creating this sensational cinematic brilliance. However I wish there was more explanation on the Amazonian, just to understand their origins, but they to were magnificent in the plot. If you'd like to experience the lady version of Indiana jones on high octane, this flick is it folks, after this you'll be begging for a sequel, from me ooh yes 2 thumbs up indeed.

Deadwood (2004–2006)

My First Western Show

[10/10 · 18 February 2023]

Watching an Old West movie is fine but if you truly want to go in depth; the very core of the everyday life of a COWBOY, please looks no further, DEADWOD is your destination. From the moment the sheriff made the move along with his partner to that small little town, you could anticipate the drama coming. I would like to praise all the actors who tool part in this special project, a masterpiece of events after on anther. Imagine combining the adventures of Josie Wells with True Grit boom, instant impact, some characters will have you latching on to them, but please understand that you will be surprised, so please try to enjoy each episodes with attentive care. I'm hoping that they find a way to reboot this show again in the near future.

Reacher (2022– )

Golden REACH

[10/10 · 12 February 2023]

I first noticed the actor Al Ritch' (The American Arnold) on the show TITANS (Hank), then boom I knew I discovered an usual talent with a sense of humor like no other.

REACHER is top notch and I would like to thank the Producer for allowing Malcom Goodwin and Willa Fitzgerald to really shine. The only critic that I have is that PRIME did not have a couple more episodes (12), this show was too good.

All the fighting scenes were well choreographed and the dialogue was spot on with a humorous lines that made even in the thick of the action; however I felt robbed a bit on the victims kills. I wanted more clarification on the older brother's passing (the full scene)

Hank you are now the new COMMANDO big fella, keep up the good work buddy. This was the best TV show I have seen thus far in 2023, good lord.

Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)

James Cameron, As Always Solid.

[10/10 · 2 January 2023]

I just came from seeing this amazing film and was highly impressed by cinematic brilliance (Visual, sound effect and a well written story line).

Let us start with the fact that we had to wait for 13 years to witness the sequel, but it was worth it. The introduction was a great way to pull in the audience into this new story, but yet linked to the previous film's narrative.

To the young audience being introduce to Mr. Cameron's movies, please make sure to watch Avatar and then go watch the The Way of Water to get a full grasp of this remarkable plot which I am sure will develop a third film (In a lesser time frame).

I have rated this movie a solid 10, because every scene was crucial to the development of building the perfect plot and giving each character their own personality. This is how a top notch director does it; feeling as if you are in the movie.

When seeing this magnificent story, please do so in 3D to enjoy its full artistic, cinematic and capturing the essence of the plot.

Although I rate the movie 10 out of 10, I have my complaints for how we (the audience) did not get to see more of the previous war from the sea folks, and then what happened to the rest of the forest folks as well.

I was on the edge of my seat and was amazed, pleased and cannot wait for the third film to be release, in a shorter time frame; waiting for a decade does not help the fan's interest, with movies being dropped monthly.

Fantastic film by James Cameron again, it was a pleasure to witness you work, thank you.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022)

Why 9/10 for Puss and Boots 2022.

[9/10 · 26 December 2022]

First off, marry Christmas or Xmas to everyone on this long awaited project. My verdict for this movie is 9 out of 10, I felt that there was no indication on if we are going to have a Trilogy (Highly needed). I stayed in the theater hoping for a hint (Perhaps in my own view while there), but as far as entertainment concerned, thank you DreamWorks for making smile on Christmas, God bless.

Moving onto the plot, well written I'd say, from the introduction all the way to the conclusion of the film, it kept me on the edges of my chair, but I started to really pay attention on the development. Lot's of villain to enjoy, good vibes between Puss and his new friend, fun fun fun.

This is a great franchise and I highly recommend seeing this magnificent art, thank you.
