Ballerina Review



So Ballerina is obviously a spinoff of the John Wick franchise and pretty much what Trigger Warning was trying to be but failed miserably. Starring Ana de Armas as the title character, the movie centers on a ballet dancer (and assassin) seeking vengeance for her father. She does eventually encounter the Baba Yaga himself.

I liked it. Like Mission Impossible, it did what it needed to do. It provided lots of action and thrills, and thankfully our protagonist wasn't an unlikable jerk. That was my biggest worry about the film, I assumed they would make her better than John Wick simply for being a girl. But the movie still managed to make a skilled female protagonist without disrespecting Wick himself. Eve is a BOSS female character done correctly without over-doing it, and I really appreciate that. 

The fight scenes were amazing. Some of them were EXTREMELY creative, which is something the John Wick franchise is known for. This thankfully did not hold back. This movie also somewhat highlighted fathers, which I also really appreciated (also considering it's almost Father's Day, perfect timing). 

My only flaw with the movie is that there was a certain character they could've expanded just a little bit more. But honestly, it could've been a whole lot worse. This movie isn't amazing, but I do approve. And more importantly my aunt approves. Thanks For Reading.

First Day Of 2024/2025 Awards Race

  It is about that time of year again where Hollywood gives out its most prestigious awards to most of the time the least deserving. But that doesn't mean I'm not gonna pay attention like always. But this year we will be shaking things up a little. Allow me to explain; Here's How This Works: Each year, I will have a target subject I'm rooting for this season. When the nominations for each award show are announced, I will do a small commentary on whether or not the subject has a chance of winning. However, this year instead of focusing on just the target, I will also be focusing on those I think are frontrunners in different categories for the season as a whole, whether I'm rooting for them or not.  I will most likely say a last minute thought the day before the award show. I will be tracking down all the way up to the big dogs: THE OSCARS. The Awards: We will be focusing on 5 awards; -The Golden Globes -The BAFTA's -The Critics Choice -The SAG Awards and Of Cour...

Red One & The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

I present to you, a Christmas Double Review. Red One centers on The Rock and Captain America trying to find J.K. Simmons (Santa) after he's been kidnapped. The Best Christmas Pageant Ever  is obviously based on the book of the same name and of course involves throwing a Christmas pageant with some of the worst kids in existence.  Red One This was a very strange movie. I don't hate it as much as others do, but I see why people hate it. I will admit there were some parts that were a little too ridiculous and I didn't laugh as much as I would've liked. Also, with all due respect to Kiernan Shipka, she was not a good casting for the main villain. Her performance just didn't work for me. She wasn't intimidating at all, and she still looks like a child. I'm sorry but I just could not take her seriously. But I also feel it had some heartwarming moments as well, particularly involving Chris Evans' character and his son. I wouldn't say this movie was good, bu...
