Here I am. Back with another review for the masses. This time, it's going to get gritty. We all know how dark the Batman characters can be, as we have seen multiple iterations of the characters through comics, films and even video games. This is a known fact. This film does NOT hold back in any way. I'd say, BE PREPARED for a very tense, heavy film, with shades of dark humor. It is definitely not for the light hearted. I wouldn't say it is along the lines of a 'horror' film, by any means, but it is very intense. Joaquin Phoenix plays Arthur Fleck, an ordinary man in Gotham who is living his life with severe mental illness. He takes care of his mother and works a low income job to keep things afloat. He is most known for working as a clown doing odd jobs around the city, such as holding signs for local businesses and entertaining children in hospitals. We learn early on, that his dream is to become a stand-up comedian. He is occasionally seen wri...

I cannot stress enough how much everyone should see this film. I also want you to go in knowing that it is not a ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ rip-off whatsoever. Elton John had a difficult life, believe it or not. I have to say, I did not grow up knowing this about him. I grew up with 90’s Elton. Lion King, Princess Diana, Elton John. So for me, this film was a learning experience the first time around. The second time, I really got to just have fun and soak it in. I knew a lot of his songs before I saw the film, however, I did not know as many as I should. I listened to the soundtrack for this film for about 2 weeks straight & I am still listening. Taron Egerton (Kingsman:The Secret Service) plays the role of Elton John. I have to say, I’ve really only seen him in Kingsman, and he was fantastic then, but he was on another level with this role. He really stripped down and learned about Elton’s life. He looked, sounded and acted the part. It was uncanny how m...

Don't let the critics and reviews fool you on this one. Men In Black: International was a good summer movie. This film stars Tessa Thompson, Chris Hemsworth and Liam Neeson. You may recognize the chemistry the two main stars had, if you've recently viewed Avengers: Endgame. Molly (Tessa Thompson) has a brief encounter with a creature as a child. From that brief stint, she grows up wanting to know everything about the Men In Black. She lives her life dedicated to understanding the universe. As time goes (20+ years of studying and looking), she finds their location and proves her smarts to get invited as a probationary Agent. She receives the title Agent M and takes a liking to the organization's top agent, Agent H (Chris Hemsworth). She does brief homework, to gain just enough knowledge to convince Agent H to allow her to come on a mission with him. The MIB are dealing with a very large threat of mankind, called, The Hive. They can form thems...
