The Monster Brawl For The Ages (Godzilla vs Kong)

-


Two movie monster legends collide for the first time, finally answering the long-time question Kaiju fans have been demanding for,  determining who is the alpha species. Godzilla vs Kong is the movie that has been teased since 2014's Godzilla which was a massive hit and introduced Gareth Edwards as the director-to-hire. In 2017, Kong Skull Island made the giant ape way more cooler than Peter Jackson's iteration but by the end of that movie, it had only teased the fight between Godzilla and King Ghidorah which took place in the Godzilla sequel that was not all that great of a sequel but managed to have some monster on monster action that finally teased the brawl we have been waiting for. 

Godzilla vs Kong is the first movie this year I have faith in getting some box office credit now, that most of the theatres around the world are finally open but for those who would rather not see it on the big screen, they can watch it online very soon. Fortunately, the epic fight is now playing cinemas for all to experience (whether in 3D or IMAX). The MonsterVerse is finally back on track with this 2 hour movie that finally gives everyone the best reason to return to the cinemas this week. 

The only thing I can think of while watching this movie was how much better it was compared to Godzilla King of the Monsters. The 'Zilla sequel back in 2019 was promoted as the bigger and longer adventure that encompasses such big fights that watching it IMAX almost seemed like a chore for your eyes but with this movie, it is so fun and monster-heavy that you forget the world outside the cinema. 

The last few weeks have been filled with people considering themselves either #TeamKong or #TeamGodzilla but with that aside, I can guarantee that Kong is king in this film, being more of a sequel for the titan ape compared to Godzilla. Adventuring into more Titan-sized mysteries and introduction to other pointless human characters make this movie a tad more interesting. I do have to warn you that the first 15 to 20 minutes of the movie is slow but it picks up in the best way possible. 

Should you watch Godzilla vs Kong? The answer is YES. It is worth wasting 2 hours of your life on. It should fill up your time for the time and give yourself the chance to finally breathe in the scent of large air conditioners and popcorn any day this week you plan on watching the movie, giving a punch onto the worldwide box office.

Confessions of A Bored Vampire (Abigail review)

  I know it has been a long time since I have written a review. So many movies I watched a little later because of school and work. But I am back with a review because I was much inspired to write again about this probable cult classic in the horror genre. Abigail is the new horror popcorn flick worth catching before the summer movies roll in.  The film revolves around a group of troubled misfits who are hired to kidnap a rich man's daughter to get a handsome amount of money, they are stuck in a house with a child vampire that hunts them down on by one in hopes of getting out without their blood being drained.  I will not reveal too much for it is a movie worth catching at your own time to just have a blast at the cinema. Abigail can be seen as just another cash grab for a B-grade-looking horror movie featuring an expensive cast, its quippy script and interestingly written characters, this vampire film isn't like others. Or at least it makes its own bitemark to an overdon...

A Cautionary Tale That Should Have Stayed in 2004 (Mean Girls 2024 review)

-

After 20 years, the Plastics return in an all-new reiteration of Mean Girls, a cult classic teen drama that should have stayed in the early 2000s. No, it is not a sequel or a re-quel. It is very much a remake that is supposed to appeal to a whole new set of fans, possibly. It is also a live-action take on the Broadway musical that was inspired by the original film which, you guessed it, makes this a musical. Many people were skeptical about this idea, let alone knew it was going to be a musical while fans of the musical were wondering if it would live up to it.  As someone who hasn't seen the Broadway musical, it is hard to compare because I had never seen that cast, nor have I heard of the musical numbers before this so, I am unaware of that aspect of the film but I have seen the original film that starred Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams. As someone who does, to this day, enjoy the original film, the remake does not live up to its standards but mostly for reasons that are not ent...

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 change...
