Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Just a short post today wishing you a happy holiday and hope you eat lots of good food!

Sorry I haven't been posting much. If you read my post back in July this year, you'll understand why I haven't been posting as much. My family's luck hasn't improved much and we just had a death in the family (My Grandpa's sister, who his last sibling) so it's been hard. We're trying to see the brighter part of things and enjoy the holidays. So it's just been a continuation of rotten luck. I hate making these kinds of posts, but I think you guys should know why I haven't been around very much.

I want to end the year on a happy note, so check out theses posts if you haven't read them yet:

Silent Film Week! It Movie Review
Silent Film Week! Sherlock Jr. Movie Review
The Wolf Of Wall Street Movie Review
The Room Movie Review

These are some fun films to checkout if you haven't yet. Also if you'd be so inclined, check out my adventure book, The Quest For The Sun God's Tomb. If you've been a longtime follower on this blog, you've seen I've made one or two posts about action heroes. I decided to take a crake at it and start a series of my own. At the time this post goes out, the first book is out, and I should be a little over halfway through writing the second book. If you're interested, please check it out and honest reviews are appreciated.

I will have a review coming out for a classic film in early December. Try and guess which film it is ;) and I'll give you a hint, it was released in 1955.

So anyways, Happy Thanksgiving! Again, I hope you get to eat tons of good food. I know I'll be chowing down on the mashed potatoes! See you guys soon!

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was phenomenal, the cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No performance fell flat. I perhaps would

The Batman Movie Review

The Batman Movie Review A Solid Noir Film I went and saw The Batman the other day with one of my buddies and I must say, we really enjoyed it. Granted I don't think this movie is for everyone. The Batman follows Batman (Robert Pattinson) during his second year of crime fighting. When the mayor of Gotham is killed by The Riddler (Paul Dano), it is up to Batman with the help of James Gordon (Jeffery Wright), and Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz) to stop him. From a visual point of view, The Batman is gorgeous. Every frame is a painting. The acting is solid, the plot is solid. The musical score is outstanding. I personally loved the film, but there are some things in it that could off-set some Batman fans. I typically get into the acting first, but like you've probably already heard many reviewers say before, the city is a character in this film. Gotham feels real, grounded, and certainly not a place you'd want to visit. Corruption and crime run rampant at every level of society. The
