Big Releases For August

 


New month, new movies, ya'll know the drill;





Trap- Tomorrow

I've seen several trailers for this movie and it looks interesting enough, but I have no intention in seeing it. I'm not really sure where it stands in terms of box-office or critics. Again, I do feel its premise is relatively interesting, but that doesn't automatically mean it's gonna be a box-office draw or that it's gonna be good. You never really know.


 Harold & The Purple Crayon-Tomorrow

I don't know why anyone thought Harold & The Purple Crayon needed a live-action film with a clearly adult 'Harold', especially when we already have imaginative films like IF out this year. Critics already hate this movie, I'm not sure where it stands on box-office. Also, Zachary Levi is better than this and I do not intend on seeing this.


 Borderlands-August 9

Hollywood is really obsessed with video game adaptations right now (I blame The Last Of Us). I barely know anything about this movie aside from the director being responsible for Thanksgiving last year, which did relatively well. Simply judging by that alone, this movie might have a chance in terms of critics. Box-office, I'm not so sure. I'm not a video game person, I don't care enough to see this movie.


 Alien: Romulus- August 16

I actually had the honor of watching Alien and Aliens for the first time last month, and they were AMAZING! I saw a trailer for this when I saw Deadpool & Wolverine (review will be up tomorrow). In my opinion, it actually looks pretty good, but I'm well aware that the franchise has been up and down since Alien 3, which I have not seen. If the reviews and Rotten Tomatoes score is promising, then I will go see this with my dad. If not, forget about it. I don't know where it stands on box-office.


 The Crow- August 23

I've never seen the first Crow. All I know about it is the disastrous incident resulting in the death of Brandon Lee (son of Bruce Lee). Also gothic superheroes, not my thing, so I have no intention in seeing this. Not sure where it stands in terms of critics or box-office, especially considering people hold the first one to such a high standard. 


 Thanks For Reading.

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...
