The Big Sick Movie Review

So a few hours ago I saw the film The Big Sick, and I know, I know, I'm a little late to review this one. But I saw it and it deserves a review!
The film follows the relationship of Kumail (played by Kumail Nanjiani) and Emily (played by Zoe Kazan) and things go pretty well for them until theres a fight between them and Emily gets sick, and from there I can't give any more of the plot without giving spoilers.
I have to say that this is a really enjoyable film! The acting is Top Notch, pacing is well done, the sound track blends perfectly into the film and brings a nice touch to it.
The film is based on and written byEmily V. Gordon, and Kumail Nanjiani and the story of how they met, basically.
For the most part the comedy is done really well, and there are more than a few laugh out loud jokes contained within this film.
The dynamic between Kumail and his family and the family of Emily's is really interesting and provides different views of clashing cultures that Kumail must figure what works for him.
There were a couple moments that I cringed a little but those turn out to be kind of rare in The Big Sick.
It was also a pleasant surprise to see Bo Burnham as a side character in this film.
Overall this movie is a hidden gem that should gain more attention, and deserved a wider release than it received, I plan on buying this when it comes out on DVD.


final score: 4.5/5

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review This Was My Dad's Idea Well... I went and saw Dora and the Lost City of Gold today with my dad, and... the film was a lot funnier than it has any right to be. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a live action adaptation of the Dora tv show on Nickelodeon. Dora, now a teenager, is sent to the City to live with her cousin, Diego, while her parents go exploring for a lost City. When her parents go missing, Dora and her new friends go and search for her parents. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the movie wasn't half bad. There is a ton of tongue and cheek humor. There is some cringe to the Dora and the Lost City of Gold too, but remember, this is a movie made for kids. As a kids film, it does a fine job. The acting was fine, and for a kids film, everyone did alright. Isabela Moner, who played Dora, did a good job portraying the character from what I remember about the show when I was very young. What surprised...

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far The funniest show I've seen in years I've been watching a show on Netflix called Norsemen, and I swear this is the funniest show I've seen in years! I can't understate how funny this show can really be, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say about 90% of the jokes land. Norsemen starts off in 790 AD, and follows a few Vikings and their slaves. The show goes through their lives and their trials, but it's done with a comedic spin. If you haven't yet, watch the trailer above to get a better idea of the show. I will say this, this show reminds me of Monty Python ! Some of the jokes Norsemen  are gut busting, and will almost have you rolling on the floor laughing. In an age of bad comedies this show is gold.  I just started watching season 2 the other day, and I just want to keep watching. The episodes are about a half hour long each, and it's the perfect time frame to get the story across. I wouldn't c...
