Emo The Musical Movie Review (Full Movie)

Emo The Musical is a 2017 film, based on a youtube short film, and it's better than the trailer looks.

So, I'm going to do this review in twice, yup twice. The reason is I'm going to review this movie here, then the youtube short film tomorrow.
So the movie follows Ethan, a disenfranchised emo, that is looking for friends. When he starts to date someone from an opposing group, things get complicated.
Now, my general take on musicals is that they are alright. Some would say that I don't like them flat out, but I just enjoy very few. I'm picky when it comes to this genre.
Now this movie does touch on some things that are relevant for the time this film was made and it pokes fun at it, which I actually find quite enjoyable. Sometimes it can be a bit over the top, which is a little cringey at times, but for the most part it's passable.
The actual songs are just kinda meh. They lifted at least one song from the original short film. The actors voices are decent, but not great. It's passable. The lyrics are a little cheesy, but they do seem to have fun with it.
They did miss the point of certain character from the original short at times, which was kinda annoying.
This movie is an alright watch, that has some really funny moments at times. Though it does have some problems. Give it a watch if you want to see a turn your brain off flick.

final score: 2.7/5

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
