Possibly The Best Animated Movie Of The Year (Sorry Inside Out)

I think pretty much everyone knew that The Wild Robot would be something to talk about after witnessing the animation on the trailer. An abandoned robot lands on a deserted island and quickly learns the harsh realities of the wilderness. But she is daunted the ultimate task when she adopts an orphaned goose, whom she names Brightbill.

This movie was very sweet. Obviously the animation is the movie's strongest point, but I was very impressed with the writing. I was surprised by how dark the humor was, though it made since considering this is the wilderness we're talking about. And watching the titular character adjust to the wild and motherhood was hilarious, sweet, and even heartbreaking at times. It's pretty much what made the animals finally coming together so poignant and effective. Though I'm not the best person to judge because I'm not a mother, the film's portrayal of parenthood is incredibly realistic and even made me tear-up a little bit. I do believe the writing on this is stronger than Inside Out's, but only by a grain of salt as Inside Out's writing is incredibly strong.

The score behind this movie is gorgeous. Sometimes a little over the top, but it works for this type of movie. The voice acting was very good, with some standouts being Pedro Pascal, Kit Connor, and Stephanie Hsu (I didn't even realize that voice acting king Mark Hamill was in it). Obviously we half to talk about Lupita Nyong'o. Her performance was unique in my opinion as she brought so much emotion with a relatively monotone demeaner. That can't be easy to pull off, but Nyong'o did it and I salute to her.

The only flaw I have with this movie is that we didn't really see much of the villain. She was very creepy, Stephanie Hsu did a very good job, and I feel like the movie kind of wasted the character's potential. But other than that, the movie was very good and I highly recommend it. 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...
