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

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 (Zoƫ 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 ...
