Lee Cronin's The Mummy review

Image
  Tihs version of The Mummy is one heck of a ride of a movie. Well removed from the Brendan Fraiser Mummy movies and even more so than Tom Cruise's god awful version this version of the Mummy is a unique, fresh and vomit inducing attempt by Director and Writer Lee Cronin at brining the monster to the back screen. The main question of the movie is what happened to Katie a young girl who has been living in Cairo Egypt with her parents and brother. Her dad a TV reporter who has been working on a big news story. Katie and her familes lives are turned upside down when she is kidnapped by a mysterious friend she had been meeting over a period of time at the back end of her garden home. What follows is one of the most grotesque, visceral and vomit inducing time at the movies.  This is nothing like previous Mummy movies I've seen. This is nightmare fuel personified, it's a mix of various other horror movies in a way as elements from The Evil Dead, The Exorcist and more are turned u...

The Drama review

  This movie is indeed full of drama as it tells the story of a couple named Charlie and Emma who meet just by chance. While playfully playing a game of telling their two friends the worst thing they've ever dared done Emma and Charlie's entire lives and feelings for one another change when Emma reveals a secret that shakes the very core of her soon to be husband Charlie. Robert Pattinson and Zendaya are brilliant here as a young seemingly extremely happy couple who are soon to be married. It's the very best performance I've seen from Zendaya who plays the role with such grit, determination and is very believable throughout. Robert Pattinson is as good as always in a performance that is quirky and cutesy but grounded too.  Once Emma's big secret is out in the open the tone of the movie shifts tremendously until that moment it is rather quaint and cute playing off the couple's first meeting, first kiss and the like. It changes on a dime and becomes almost an enti...

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie review

Image
  Mario is my guy. One of it not my favorite video game character of all time. Back in 2023 the original Super Mario Bros Movie released and I absolutely loved it, still do whenever I rewatch it. Sure it has it's problems but as a fan of the series it was near perfect in terms of fan service and understanding of the whimsical magical world of the plumber and his supporting cast. This time around however Nintendo and Illumination have taken it upon themselves to adapt arguably the greatest Mario game of all time (depending on who you're asking) in Mario Galaxy. A true space epic that first debuted on the Wii console. The story is pretty bare bones to be honest which is much like it's video game counter part as really who plays these games for the story?? we or at least I playe them for the character interactions and the smooth as silk gameplay. With that being said is The Super Mario Galaxy Movie a fun time?? oh boy is it. Big, visually stunning and hilarious at times The Su...
