Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) Review

"The future belongs to the mad"

Fury Road, an Australian dystopian action film is one of the more well-known instalments of the Mad Max Franchise. The film is set in a desert wasteland in a world where civilisation has completely crashed. Food, water and gasoline is scarce and people are getting desperate to survive, fighting for necessities… with many going mad along the way.

"My name is Max. My world is reduced to a single instinct: Survive. As the world fell it was hard to know who was more crazy. Me... Or everyone else."



This film has won multiple awards, ranked as the best film of 2015 by many critics, with some considering it to be the best action film ever to be made. I enjoyed the film and found it quite thrilling and entertaining as it was jam-packed with action, with amazing costumes, sounds and special effects which definitely amplified and continued the films electric feel throughout.
However I personally found that it had many plot holes and confusing or strange sections. Although it was by far one of the most thrilling and intense action films I've ever watched, it was quite strange at times to the point where I would laugh at the movies strange scenarios as opposed to taking the movie seriously and staying completely engaged with it. I found this to be its greatest flaw, but besides that, it was undeniably an amazingly produced film on all other levels and I would for sure recommend this to anyone in want of a thrilling action movie to watch.

RATING: 4/5

Se7en (1995)

SE7EN What is your most prized possession? Your sins are the crime of the scene. With two great all time actors of Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, we explore the world of deadly sins that can be gruesome and uninspiring. In this movie in the portrayal of Detective Mills (Brad Pitt) and Detective Somerset (Morgan Freeman) are in search of an extremely horrible serial killer by the name of John Doe (played as Kevin Spacey). This is a top-notch thriller of a lifetime movie to watch, one of the first and greatest thriller of a ride in catching a serial killer reflecting the 7 ways of sin. An ultimate thriller of a lifetime to watch from the greatest thriller director himself by the name of David Fincher. Watching this movie gave me goosebumps every second as we are guided through the serial killers action with reference to christian signs of "se7en deadly sins". The action builds suspense with each murder and not knowing the unknown of what to come next is a THRILLERRR!!!...

Disney 'Pinnochio' (1940) Review

Pinocchio. The story of an older, lonely man who wishes that his hand-carved puppet would come to life. It’s a magical story that I found to be the best movie that we have covered thus far in our quest to watch and review every Disney Animated theatrical release. Pinocchio (1940) Disney (c) The Plot (without the spoilers) Pinocchio begins with a song, after which our narrator introduces himself as Jiminy Cricket and takes us back to the beginning. Our intrepid insect adventurer finds a warm fire in the shop of a woodcarver, full of puppets and beautiful clocks. The woodcarver, Geppetto is putting the finishing touches on a little puppet that he names Pinocchio. After seeing the wishing star, he utters that now famous rhyme and wishes that his little puppet could become a real boy. He is heard by the Blue Fairy and his wish comes true (well....almost). For it to only be answered, Pinocchio must learn to be brave, truthful and unselfish and our narrator Jiminy is appointe...

Disney 'Beauty and the Beast' (2017) Review

Disney's live-action  Beauty and the Beast  isn't bad. How could it be? It's basically a remake of one of the greatest animated movies of all time. It's when it tries to be different that it stumbles, and those problems drag down the good parts where it gets hard to overlook its flaws, making you wonder if you should just watch the animated version again. The film's music acts as a microcosm of this problem. In almost every song from the original movie, they have added an orchestral dance break. Those breaks keep the songs from reaching a natural climax and, for anyone who knows the original movie — it is extremely distracting. Yes, the musical numbers look great, but just as you're getting into them — bam, a sudden drop in energy for a completely unneeded dance number. This happens in the plot as well. When the movie's remaking the animated version, it's great — especially thanks to the gorgeous visual flair director Bill Condon manages to fill ev...
