Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga

-


I could not think of a clever review title for this movie's review so, I just stuck with what the movie was called because it already sounded like it gives you a sense of what the movie already about. I did not get to watch this the day it was released but I finally got to watch it today and I surprisingly liked it more than I expected. Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (Why is it such a mouthful?) is funny, quirky and as fun as you would imagine a Will Ferrel movie would be. 

Fun fact; apparently Eurovision is a real singing competition that I did not know existed where Celine Dion competed in. This competition is based only in Europe and it is known to have performers that are eccentric and over the top. 

Of course, a movie about a band participating in such a competition would have to be extremely eccentric and over the top. The Fire Saga, that comprises Lars, who has always dreamed of participating and winning the Eurovision contest and his partner, Sigrid, who cares him about so much and would do anything to help Lars achieve his life-long dream. To finish the amount of finalists from Iceland to participate in Eurovision, Fire Saga is then picked to be a finalist causing the executives in charge to immediately regret their random choice after their first live performance. I shall not tell you more because I do not want to spoil you ( eventhough the storyline is predictable ). 

Apart from it being predictable, it was still fun to watch. Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams were great and had chemistry. This story is the perfect inspiration for people to never give up on their dreams, no matter how ridiculous they are. And also, don't listen to critics for this movie. This movie was enjoyable and the perfect way to distract yourselves from the pandemic.

An Overlooked, Fun Marvel Adventure (The Marvels spoiler-free review)

-

  This is probably the closest thing to a Marvel team-up we will get for a while, and it is unfortunate that the drama within the media surrounding this film is based on reasons that are not progressive. However, that is not what we are here to talk about. The Marvels is the latest entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, bringing back Carol Danvers in her latest adventure with Nick Fury and some newfound partnerships with Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan.  The Marvels is set 33 years after the first Captain Marvel movie, where Carol is still trying to save the universe and she thinks she's the only one who can. After the events of WandaVision, Monica is now working with Fury with her new set of powers in his new project called S.A.B.E.R. while Kamala Khan continues to be the giddy, new superhero that protects the residents of New Jersey but an unworldly event connects her mysterious bangle to both Monica and Carol. Due to this cosmic event involving the Kree supremacist, Dar Benn,

Loki season 2 (Full season review)

With Marvel in a sort of whirlpool of viewers not having consistent reception towards the content, they seem to be missing a very important and well-done part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Loki lives up to that statement with its second season. Despite its new writers and directors at the helm, the show still showcases the best parts of Marvel's storytelling.  Taking place immediately after the end of season 1, Loki is dealing with the shenanigans of the TVA and the involvement of Kang variants with the release of the multiverse. It is up to Loki and co. (consisting of Mobius, Hunter B-5, and Casey) to deal with the consequences caused by Sylvie. The show still continues to be a trippy, timey-wimey time travel adventure but adds the Marvel-ous flair that made the franchise so memorable. With new rules and problems being thrown in the mix to deal with, the sci-fi logic continues to be expanded upon, solidifying the greatness of the show.  Unlike most of the Marvel shows that dea

Percy Jackson and The Olympians (Full Season Review)

  With the acquisition of the FOX properties, Disney had the chance to adapt to the world of Percy Jackson once again. However, unlike the last time, Disney makes an adaptation that lives up to the source material as well as embraces author Rick Riordan with production, casting, and various other factors that went into this show.  With this first season following suit of the first novel, The Lightning Thief, Percy Jackson and The Olympians of course, follows the titular character learning of his mythological parentage and what that means when he is thrust into this world as he grows older and more powerful as a demigod. When he is chosen to go on quest based on a prophecy, he enlists help from Annabeth Chase and his best friend/satyr, Grover to find Zeus's missing lightning bolt.  Anyone who has seen the film that was released 12 years ago would have a good idea as to what this first season will cover but people who haven't read the original book will know the many changes that
