Bohemian Rhapsody Review

Image
Bohemian Rhapsody was a good biopic of Queen and Freddie Mercury. Of course the best outtake of this film was on its casting; Rami Malek did his best to embody Freddie Mercury and the other casts were eeriely similar looking to the original Queen members. This film covers the story of Queen on every events; their formation, to the years of Freddie leaving them, to the day of their historic performance on Wembley Stadium in 1985. The good thing about this biopic was that it did not only show the good things about Freddie, it told all aspects of his life, addressing his sexuality and how he used to treat his band members. This film delivered these aspects in a way that we can empathise with Freddie, so that's good. If you are a fan of Queen, or a music fan generally, you will enjoy the moments when Queen songs were played in the film. The Wembley Stadium scene was the best arc of this film, as you'll feel like singing and clapping along with the movie.

Halloween (2018) Review

Halloween was definitely a movie that suprised me this year. It was unexpectedly good and it served the franchise's fans and regular moviegoers as well. Now, Halloween franchise is a legend amongst other horror franchises as its first film was out back in 1978 and it's the one to start the slasher horror genre and inspire many upcoming slasher films after that such as Scream . Halloween has had 12 movies in its franchise and this new one totally abandons all the previous sequels and it serves as a sequel to the original 1978 film. This is totally fine and brilliant as the previous sequels were too cheesy and they made Michael Myers silly. However, this latest installment totally respects Michael Myers and Laurie, played by the legendary Jamie Lee Curtis. It has been 40 years, and she's geared up to prepare against Michael. What surprised me about this new film is that how it totally respects the original film, it gives the same vibes as the OG one, and it

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Review

Man.. I don't know. Okay look, I might not be the most hardcore Potterhead among my friends but that does not mean I cannot review this film for the sake of it being a.. film. I watched all Harry Potter movies and even the first Fantastic Beasts and I would say Harry Potter franchise is one of the biggest film franchise in league with Star Wars and Lord of The Rings. However, Fantastic Beasts 2 didn't do it for me. It was muddled, messy and too convoluted. They hyped us for Grindelwald and Dumbledore and yet they focused on a super-complicated storyline of a family lineage of a certain character. Look, it's not wrong to take that as an aspect of your movie's storyline, but it is a MAJOR problem if it was the only conflict that exists. Plus this isue was not because I am a not big Potterhead, because even amongst the fans themselves, this puzzle plotline was too messy and convoluted. The pacing was so slow and there were just too many characters. Remove
