John Wick 4 (and a little bit of the first)

So I saw my first John Wick movie with my aunt. This is probably gonna be brief .

Mr. Wick has been a bad boy, and is now on the run from the high table, with it's most notable assassins being Caine (Donnie Yen), and Mr. Nobody (Shamier Anderson). They only way to really get out of this is to challenge the big baddie Marquis (Pennywise, I mean Bill Skarsgård) to a traditional duel in exchange for his freedom if he wins.

So while the fighting scenes were good (REALLY good, and many times GREAT) they seemed a little slow to me. My aunt noticed that as she mentioned to me that the fights from the previous movies were a little more clean. After watching the first movie last night, I understand what she means. Plus that didn't take away from the movie as a whole, I'm just picky.

Donnie Yen was by far the best part of this movie. No only was his character a total BOSS, but it's hard not to root for him even though it's hard to tell who's side he's on. But we know either way that he's just trying to keep his daughter alive. It's hard to hate someone for that.

Just a quickie on the first, I did like the first movie and now I've got 2 more to go. And overall I did like the forth. I just probably should not have saw it before the first 3.

So.......The Bride😕

So I was completely off-track with The Bride . Did not expect the film to crash and burn as hard as it did with both critics AND the box-office. After getting murdered, a woman by the name of Ida is brought back to life with the intention of being a companion to the oh-so iconic Frankenstein. And together they wreck havoc. Like Wuthering Heights , the movie wasn't terrible but it had a lot of problems. The biggest issue with this film is that it tries way too hard to be edgy and it just doesn't work. It wanted to be this hardcore feminist take on Frankenstein , but it just felt convoluted and slightly underwritten. It had this plotline involving Ida causing some revolution for women and did pretty much nothing with it until the last minute. It was kind of a let down. The best thing about the movie however was the performances and chemistry between Buckley and Christian Bale. I thought they were strangely endearing, and this might be a better love story than Wuthering Heights (...

Last Minute Music Reviews

So here are some last minute reviews of songs that I've heard over the past few months that did not reach #1; Where Is My Husband - Raye This is incredibly fun and strangely catchy. While this is not officially a jazz song, this obviously has jazz influence and it works very well for this song. I will go ahead and admit that this is my introduction to Raya, I have not listened to Oscar Winning Tears . So far, I'm intrigued. Midnight Sun - Zara Larsson This song is kind of AWESOME. Not only is the production GORGEOUS, but it also has a very nice hook that goes smoothly with Larsson's voice. My sister actually recommended this song to me and I see why. Larsson does currently have a Grammy nomination for this. She's gonna lose, but I'm glad this song got recognized. If my sister see's this, thank you. How It's Done - Huntrix (From KPop Demon Hunters ) I have been meaning to review this for a while, but I kept getting lazy. Like Golden , this song has g...
