John Wick Movie Review 

A Fantastic Action Film

I've seen John Wick a couple of times, and I thought I reviewed it already. Apparently, I haven't. So here's the long overdue review of, John Wick.
John Wick follows, John Wick (Keanu Reeves) as a retired assassin. One day when a group of guys, kill his dog and steal his car, he goes out seeking vengeance. 
I swear this might be my favorite Keanu Reeves movie so far. The action in John Wick is just incredible. The acting is top notch for the genre, and Keanu Reeves gives a fantastic performance! Let's dig into this movie a little further. 
If you haven't seen this film and you love action, it's a must. The fights are so fun to watch and you can clearly see Keanu Reeves enjoying himself here. There's style and a lack of quick jarring cuts. You actually get to see the fight happening without 20 cuts in five freaking seconds, crazy right? Who would actually show you the action? Well, apparently John Wick.
Keanu Reeves gives such a fantastic performance as this character. He seems in his element as if he was born to play John Wick. He takes the character seriously and it's greatly appreciated. In the film he's hyped up as a badass, and the beautifully follow the show don't tell rule. Well, they tell a little, but the character earn his reputation.
The camera work was well done and overall, competently shot. The music in the film fit each scene perfectly. The special effects were a thriller. I also have a sneaking suspicion the director had a blast making John Wick. 
Should you see John Wick? Heck yes you should! If you're looking to have a fun time and don't know what to watch, pop in John Wick.



final score: 4.4/5

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...
