  I never do tributes or share any sort of words about actors on this blog but this one this feels different. Hayden Panettiere was so much more than an actor to me. Even though I never got to meet her living through and loving her work has been nothing short of an honour. The first time I can remember truly seeing her was Scream 4. Along came this hilarious, stunningly beautiful woman who was so smart so empathetic and empowering it was hard not to instantly become a fan of hers. 15 or so years later and hearing of her own personal battles with various matters was tragic yet there was light at the end of it all and she was in the midst of making a comeback a comeback that has been tragically cut so short. At only 36 years old she is only 6 years older than I am right now which really puts your own life and mortality into perspective. So with all that being said I just wanted to come on here and write in my own way totally off the cuff just a few words in her memory. From Kirby Ree...

  Cosmic events, dinasours and a transported street The End of Oak Street is a fascining movie it truly is. It starts off all swell just like another other regular day in an American suburban neighbor hood. Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor play a mother and father to two children. Known as The Platt family they seem like your run of the mill family so when their entire lives are turned upside down they are transported back in time back to the age of the Dinasour how will they manage to handle it?? it's a fight for survival both inside their home and outside as tension is propelled to the max. I really did want to like this movie and while I did at points something just feels off especially why the family get transported back in time it comes out of nowhere and really isn't solved all that well all culminating in a sort of full circle moment, in between there are big and bold action setpieces as the family and any and all survivors instead of banding together to survive all seem ...

  A celebration of youth couldn't be more accurate of what Sunny Dancer represents as it showcases the true power and strength of youth, their friendships and the many highs and lows of life. Sunny Dancer follows a 17 year old named Ivy a cancer survivor whose parents sign her up for a 4 week summer camp deemed as Ivy calls it a ''chemo camp'' upon her arrival she struggles to fit in but as time passes and she begins to make friends she has a summer that she will never forget including love, romance, friendship and everything else in between.  Bella Ramsey is brilliant here as young Ivy a witty, strong willed young woman who comes across as somewhat shy at first but once she opens up at the camp she becomes herself more and more leading to many amazing summer days and nights with her new group of friends who like her are all either cancer survivors or cancer patients themselves. Her performance is effortless in a movie that is absolutely gut wrenchingly beautiful. A...

  The latest chapter of Spiderman in the MCU begins and with it comes a genuinely great movie that manages to juggle so many things really well without losing much quality. Tom Holland is back as Peter Parker / Spiderman and after the events of the previous movie he is all alone in NYC. Bad guys are popping up everywhere and Spiderman is doing Spidey things while Peter Parker gets put on the back burner. The movie opens with a great montage of both classic villains being apprehended and other various small time crimes being stopped by Spiderman. It's a perfect setup to a movie that introduces a ton of things from Sadie Sink's mysterious character to The Punisher playing a pretty chunky role to even a rampaging Hulk Brand New Day has got it all going on and as a whole l it handles everything well and doesn't rely on too many jokes which was very refreshing. After the events of the previous movie No Way Home I do really love how much character development Peter Parker gets he...

  The latest movie from Christopher Nolan has arrived and it may very well be his most epic yet. The Odyssey tells the story of the book of the same name by Homer based upon ancient Greek literature. This is Nolan's take on the story and not only does it feel very human and like an ancient awakening from it's slumber but it's got real heart. Matt Damon stars as Odysseus the legendary Greek King of Ithaca. He is tasked with starting and finishing a war to end all wars that is now known as the Trojan War. What follows is an Odyssey in more than words as Odysseus's decade journey home becomes filled with obstacles of both mental and physical.  The Odyssey really does feel like a living breathing book come to life there is passion withing every frame as Nolan showcases stunning vistas time after time and when it gets dark and gloomy boy does it too as the challenges on the way home for Odysseus who wants nothing more than to get home, keep his crew safe and be with his fami...

  After the big success of 2023's Evil Dead Rise comes a new entry into the long running horror franchise. What do you get when you put an in law meeting at the funeral of your husband who just also just so happens to have not actually passed away but instead is an incarnation of hell itself and wants nothing to do but make the world and those he loves in it burn?? you get this movie and boy oh boy is this movie a trip. Evil Dead movies have always not been for the faint of heart but Burn goes above and beyond in it's attempt at spilling as much blood as possible in a movie that is half part intense and grotesque and the other a really cheesey final act packed with uninspired CGI. Blood, blood and more blood seemed to be on the agenda for all involved in bringing Evil Dead Burns to life as it sort of shys away from the original concept of the dead rising from the grave thanks to the book of the dead in it's stead is a long standing family drama in the form of a real living ...
