|
Murjani Rawls
|
Nicolas Cage as a silent hero against robots is a fun premise for a while, but beyond that, nothing else sticks.

(2021)
|
Murjani Rawls
|
The opening credits will have you believe otherwise, but "On the Count of Three" is a buddy pact movie that explores two men confronting the ills of their past and finding emotional catharsis in being vulnerable.

Luli Gerbase's debut film may have not been made with the current times in mind, but "The Pink Cloud" depicts the highs and lows of forced quarantine with eerie accuracy.

John and the Hole
(2020)
|
Murjani Rawls
|
For a film that has so much weight shifted to it's artistic vision and build, "John and the Hole" caves under it's own ambitions.

The New Mutants
(2020)
|
Murjani Rawls
|
The New Mutants has the atmosphere, acting, and set pieces to be successful. However, it ultimately tries to serve too many themes to make for a successful film.

The world is bigger and more desolate. Peninsula tries to give you more, but loses the best emotional pieces that made the previous movie more endearing.

If there is a main strength to this documentary, it's that it will appeal to wrestling fans and those seeking some sort of redemption in their lives alike.

Independence Day: Resurgence
(2016)
|
Murjani Rawls
|
Resurgence is a movie that tries too hard to recapture the natural aspects of it's predecessor while trying to introduce new plot elements that you hope that can be figured out in future movies.

Captain America: Civil War
(2016)
|
Murjani Rawls
|
Civil War as a whole was a well done accumulation of previous themes and atonement for the events that occurred in previous Marvel installments.

Suicide Squad
(2016)
|
Murjani Rawls
|
DC seems to be confused in what tone to choose in their recent movies. Suicide Squad would have benefited from a "R" rating uptick.

|
Murjani Rawls

For someone who remembers the first film, Blair Witch feels as an attempt to put a fresh coat of paint on a classic

Wonder Woman
(2017)
|
Murjani Rawls
|
Wonder Woman is not only the depiction of a powerful woman that men and women alike needs to see, it's a metaphor for ourselves as well. It's a win for a comic movie universe that very much needed one.

The testament of the effectiveness of the story and macabre nature of Hereditary really manifests long after you leave the theater.

Joker
(2019)
|
Murjani Rawls
|
While drawing heavy influence from previous Scorsese movies, Joker boasts a great performance from Phoenix and shows that darker comic book films continue to have a place in a family-oriented realm.

The Invisible Man
(2020)
|
Murjani Rawls
|
We've come a long way from a doctor wearing bandages to make himself seen. If a remake is going to exist in the modern space, it has to take on some modern horrors.

The Wretched
(2019)
|
Murjani Rawls
|
There are times in this movie where the character arcs hinder it from reaching the great potential it seeks. However, there is enough here to complete a satisfying and generally interesting horror film once The Wretched decides what it wants to be.
