Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle Movie Review

So, last night I went and saw Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle, with some friends, and I was pleasantly surprised with this one.
Going in I had low expectations, granted the movie is no masterpiece, but it is enjoyable enough to warrant a watch.
A minor spoiler: This movie is a sequel to the original.
The acting was really good, especially since the had an almost all-star comedic cast which is really nice to see.
When the jokes land, they really do land. The Rock was really funny, and so was Jack Black. I haven't seen Jack Black in anything recently so it was nice to see him in a film again. The other cast members did a really good job too portraying their characters.
The color scheme was very bright, which complemented the comedic tones of the overall film. Granted that's a given for comedies, but I just had a feeling that I wanted to point that out just for this movie.
The music was not to memorable (by that I mean not much of an original score), except when you hear the hard pounding drum beat that comes from Jumanji.
Overall this film did surpass my expectations, but like I said it's no masterpiece, yet it is still an enjoyable watch, that I recommend seeing at least once.


final score:3.5/5

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 per...
