Jumanji: The Next Level Movie Review Paint By Numbers: The Movie A few days ago, I went and saw Jumanji: The Next Level with some friends of mine. Well, I can say this, Danny Devito should not do slapstick. Jumanji: The Next Level is a continuation from the previous Jumanji film that came out back in 2017. Same character same plot, new backdrops. I'm not going into the plot really because it's not worth the time to write it out. I was so bored watching this film I wanted to fall asleep. My gosh darn eyes refused to do so, which honestly sucks. Going into Jumanji: The Next Level I thought it would be a bad film, but I could at least have some fun with it. Oh, I was wrong. There is little to no fun to be had with this film. The script is bland and cliche, the acting is poor, and they hold back from making this an interesting film. I don't know who the writers were for this film, and frankly, I'm not going to look them up. I don't want to give them credit....

The Upside Movie Review A Rare Heartwarming Film A couple of days ago, my dad and I went to the theater and saw the movie, The Upside. I've seen the trailers a couple of times and it looked somewhat interesting to me, not like it would be great, but it did get my attention. So, we went and saw it, and I can tell you without a doubt how wrong the critics truly are about The Upside. The Upside follows the relationship between Dell Scott ( Kevin Hart ) a man who is on parole looking for a job, and Phillip Lacasse ( Bryan Cranston ) a quadriplegic rich man looking for a caretaker. Phillip is bored by everyone that applies for the position, until Dell walks in with a, "I don't care" attitude, and they hit it off. The film follows the friendship between them. This is a great film, honestly. Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart are both spectacular in their own right in The Upside . They played off of each other almost naturally like they had been working with one anoth...
