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.

Discombobulated But Good

I've always had an odd relationship with The Color Purple . I don't care enough to read the book, and some family of mine participated in a community production of the Broadway musical. I do like the original movie, but it's also EXTREMELY annoying due to some of it's subject matters. I saw the remake yesterday, and it of course centers on Celie Harris-Johnson and the struggles she's had throughout her life. The movie is all over the place in terms of it's writing, pacing, and it's music (and considering this was directed by the same idiot behind Black Is King, I am not surprised). Don't get me wrong, it wasn't terrible. But there were times in the movie where I wanted more but got less, and in the times I wanted less, I got more than I would like. A lot of songs from the musical were cut in favor of new songs that weren't so great. The songs from the musical that stayed in the movie were arranged horribly. I also felt that the plot moved pret

Top 10 Signature Songs

You know how an artists has that one song that pretty much defines their career and who they are as an artist? This is a list of those songs. Please keep in mind that just because an artist and their song is on the list doesn’t mean I like the song or the artist (especially the artist). It just means that I acknowledge the impact and importance of the song and/or artist. One song per artist. #10: The Real Slim Shady- Eminem Technically speaking, Lose Yourself is more notable than The Real Slim Shady . But I feel like this song really set the standard on who Eminem is as an artist. He pretty much hit the jackpot when coming up with such an iconic nickname, and Eminem presents it with so much personality, style, rhythm and aggression that it just works. I'm not even sure if it could have as much of an effect on people with someone else in the track. Only Eminem could make it work. Again I have nothing against Lose Yourself , in fact I love that song more than this one. But I feel

Deadpool: Marvel's Favorite Idiot

Deadpool & Wolverine was probably the most anticipated movie of the year. With Disney taking over Fox and Deadpool joining the MCU , the time has finally come for the finishing result. Wade Wilson (portrayed of course by Ryan Reynolds) is offered to be taken out of his dimension in favor of the MCU. The only problem is his dimension is in the process of disintegration after the evens of Logan (😢) and Tom Wambsgans- I mean Mr. Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen) decides to end its misery and destroy it instead of waiting for the inevitable. Obviously this doesn't sit well with Wade, so he turns to a more incompetent version of Wolverine (one deemed the "worst" Wolverine) to help save his dimension. This movie was exactly what a Deadpool movie needs to be, stupid as HELL. Deadpool remains an idiot and his dynamic with Wolverine was very well paced. Reynolds and Hugh Jackman's chemistry was very good and surprisingly very balanced. Both characters had their fair-share of
