      Lightyear (2022) Thoughts, Summary and What's next!       In 1995, little Andy got a toy for his birthday a space ranger by the name Buzz Lightyear. But what made Andy get Buzz was a movie? This is that movie! After successfully landing on an unknown planet showing signs of life, captain of star command Buzz Lightyear wakens from sleep only to explore the unknown planet Buzz, Alisha Hawthorne and a new rookie are attacked by the planet itself and after the ship and the engine to hyperspeed back home is destroyed Buzz is sent on a mission to test flight a crystal so he and the others can go home.   Lightyear, was it the story fans needed and was it a "Fill in the Blank"?   Okay i'm just gonna blow up my thoughts and say SPECTACULAR!!! This movie was a great Origin like story and the way (Angus Maclane) did this alternate take on Buzz was just a really great treatment and change of character literally.   I was so hyped like many others wh...

   SMILE (2022) Summary and Review       My Gosh, what could I say about this movie? well first to let it out of my lungs HOLY SH*T!!!   Never heard of the director before but he did a great job of making something new, generic and relevant. The guy made something so unique and I have to say, I have way too much in my thoughts to cover this movie I might be writing for a month.   Dr. Rose Cotter (Sosie Bacon) who works as a psychiatrist in a psychiatric ward witnesses a tragic death of a patient, only to learn that what really killed her patient is something malevolent and has now passed on to her! She must learn what this entity is and must stop it from taking her and others.   I really enjoyed this film, I'm not a fan of the modern horror when it comes to killers, demons and slasher weapon welding monsters! But, movies like Smile have come as unique and something new and undone before. I think anyone reading this will say "wrong" but a...

    Elvis (2022) film review & Summary        Austin Butler takes the shoes of Elvis Presley in this biographic film, Elvis takes audience back to the King of Rock's rise to stardom from a boy dreaming of being a superhero to music legend!    The movie isn't just about Elvis, but, also tells us his relationship with his manager Colonel Tom Parker.    This story is interesting as it's narrated by "the villian of this here story"- Tom Parker, who while in a  hospital after suffering a heart attack takes us to the beginning of him meeting Elvis but he then dramatically narrates his and Elvis' journey in the music business. The whole movie shows us the point of view of Parker by his narration as he not only talks about his relationship with Elvis but also shares personal event's between them.   Baz Luhrmann did really well making this movie, I really loved the way he went about this story! It was a great way to share a legends ...

   The Grey Man (2022)   'The Grey Man" is Based on Mark Greaney's 2009 novel. Court Gentry is hired by former CIA director Donald Fitzroy in prison, Court now "Sierra Six" and ready to "kill bad guys" is sent on a mission in Bangkok to assassinate a high intel target that goes wrong where he's told by his target that he's "Sierra Four" and is given a drive that reveals current director Denny Carmichael isn't a good guy and after learning encrypted proof six is hunted by sociopathic  mercenary Lloyd Hansen a former agent in the CIA hired by Denny.   Ryan Gosling really surprised me as I wasn't really a fan of him, He really did well playing this role I felt I was watching a 007 and even though "007 was taken" gosling gave quite a performance! Gosling was really good playing in many awarded films such as LA LA Land (2016) and The Notebook (2004).    Ryan Gosling playing as the romantic guy and tough bank robber guy mak...

    Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)   I don't know what to say about this film, I was mixed in reaction during and after watching!   So first off I really enjoyed the comedy this film included. It was filled with generic comedy and classic Thor comedy, as everyone knows since the first Thor movie and all the Avengers films Thor was known as a cocky and comedic hero.   However this film showed what I feared if mixing too much comedy to a superhero film would do to such specific heroes! I get the whole making a superhero too brooding and serious would make such a film get bad perception and seem boring, but the generic comedy at the prologue was hilarious but it had me face palming to the fact that it played throughout the entire movie.    Watching the introductory Thor films specifically "Thor" (2011) and others before "Thor: Ragnarok" to me felt like intro, middle and continuity but this film felt less "bring the hero to screen."   I can say that th...

   The Batman (2022) Review   Plot and Plot Elements: Batman must face an unknown masked serial killer who's killing the corrupt and leaving cryptic puzzles for the Batman,  Batman must put the pieces and answers together whilst causing Bruce Wayne and Batman to discover horrible lies within his family.   What Drove Reeves to direct "The Batman"?    Reeves told New York Times " I wanted to fight against any sense that Batman would remain static." he continued with " I wanted the stakes of the story to challenge him in a way that shook him to his core. He has to change."   What Reeves is saying is that after a long wait and Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises" being the last stand alone and making the 80 year old character abandoned to his stand alone film's for a "static" decade he wanted to bring Batman back to the screen.   Was Pattinson the fit: (Robert Pattinson) Wow I really have a lot to say about this man's performance...
