A Quiet Place Movie Review

So last night I went and saw the movie A Quiet Place, and it wasn't that bad.
So the plot of this movie is that we are invaded by blind aliens and we must stay quiet or else they will hear us and kill us. So the film follows a family that is just trying to survive through this, while most of society has collapsed, there are a few pockets of people left.
It sounds interesting and stupid at the same time, and while there are some really stupid moments in this film, there are also really great ones too.
So the movie is directed, and starring John Kransinski, as the father of the family. John's character is probably the best in the film, and you get the most sense of realism from him. I always think it's impressive if you can pull off starring and directing a movie.
The family communicate by using sign language, and the film does something really smart with it. Since their daughter was deaf before the aliens came, the family knew sign language beforehand. Also it turns out that the daughter, played by Millicent Simmonds, is deaf in real life. So we get a better portrayal of what the communication would  actually be like in that scenario.
There are some dumb decisions made by the family in this movie. For example they have a baby in an apocalypse where you need to remain quiet. Also there's a scene involving a nail that catches onto some laundry, and the laundry forces the nail into an up right position that will... hurt... later on which could have easily been prevented by the mother.
Overall though, this isn't a bad movie and I think that I would recommend going to see this one. It's worth seeing at least once.


final score: 3.5/5

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...
