The Olive Opinion

As we all know, all of us have been stuck at home for almost four months. We couldn't be able to meet with friends and family, to go the theater or have any human contact. Due to this, with the help of revolutionized technology, we had the ability to stream any show or TV Show any time we want (just as long as you had fast internet connection). During the quarantine, these were the movies I managed to watch. These are the movies that were released during the quarantine. 1. The Willoughbys  The Willoughbys was apparently an original animated movie about children with the worst parents ever. ( You think this is exaggerated but, they really are the worst). Released on Netflix, this vibrant animated feature, not made by Disney, turned out be charming and fun as most high calibre animated movies these days. The film also features Alessia Cara in her first acting job ever and she does as well most. By the way, she sings in it too. I mean, why not right?  Whoever that has watched it,...

Vivarium - an enclosure, container, or structure adapted or prepared for keeping animals under semi-natural conditions for observation or study or as pets; an aquarium or terrarium. According to Google. I had not heard of Vivarium until I saw the poster in my movie suggestions a few days ago. The poster intrigued me and it said that it started Jessie Eisenberg and Imogen Hoots. Immediately, I had to watch the trailer. Like the trailer promised, the movie was just all the way psychologically traumatizing. The film starts with an opening sequence of a bird pushing down a bunch other baby birds out of the nest to make room for her its hatchlings, leaving them to die. That should already give you a sense of what you are getting yourself into. Jemma and Tom are just like every other couple in the world, looking for a place to live in. They come across a real estate agent named Martin ( who undeniably and oddly lacks social skills ) who takes them to a suburban town called ...

This is my first book review. Better yet, my first book SERIES review. So, let's hope that I do an alright job at this. Now.. readers out there that love fantasy novels, you might love this trilogy of books I'm about to mention for that it is much different because it does not take place in ancient England like most fantasy novels do (fictional versions of England to be exact), it instead it takes place in a fictional country called Ravka which was inspired by Imperial Russia. Interested yet? Our story begins with two orphans with one of them being extremely important ( this is because she is the protagonist). Alina is the main character in this series and she is this prophecised "Sun Summoner" that is meant to "take away the darkness". Sound familiar? In the first book, she has two love interests. The first being her best friend, Mal. Obviously. The second being this man called The Darkling, a powered dude that can manipulate shadows or so...

After the failure of The Mummy, Universal's Dark (shared) Universe is no longer happening. With The Invisible Man, it's quite alright for the Dark Universe to not be connected in any way. More like an anthology series only with movies. (Depends on how you look at it since every movie is... well you get the point). The Invisible Man, connected or not, was a psychological, thrilling masterpiece starring the one and only Elizabeth Moss. Written and directed by Leigh Wannell (never heard of her) and she does a marvelous job creating a modernized version of a classic monster movie with elements of female abuse. As it is also a horror movie, the movie did not rely on jump scares like most horror movies and made it just as creepy as good horror movies are. Elizabeth Moss brings in her Handsmaid Tale experience to the table in her second feature film in the best way possible. Clearly, Moss is meant to play roles like Offred and her small role in Us. Disturbed character...

Can anyone name a Pixar movie that hasn't made you cry or made you feel warm inside? (Except Cars 2) I'm sure you cant. Pixar has a history of making some of the best 3D animated movies and they have done it again with their latest release, Onward directed by Pixar alum, Dan Scanlon. The new Pixar feature is based on the modern day lives of fantasy creatures like elves, unicorns and mermaids. The main story is about an 16 year old elf named Ian Lightfoot who has never met his father and has always wanted to live up to him. He learns that his father had left him in his brother, Barley a magical staff that can help them bring him back for one whole day and so the adventure begins. I shall tell you more for I will be spoiling. Onward is the perfect addition to Pixar's ever growing roster of kid friendly movies that not only give you laughs and make you cry but also give you a new perspective in life. Onward may seem a tad similar to one or two previous Pixar movies...

  What happens after happily ever after? Especially when it's a really good teen rom com based on an awesome book. Well I guess you'll find out when you watch To All The Boys P.S. I Still Love You. Lara Jean and Peter return for another heartwarming/heartbreaking adventure filled with cliche romance and tiny references to the 80's rom-coms. To All The Boys 2 takes place shortly after its predecessor that took the world by storm. Lara Jean and Peter are together and everything is just perfect... until it isn't when dear old John Ambrose McClaren unexpectedly drops into the picture. With a few other subplots throughout, this sequel romantic sequel may not have the same magic as the first movie had but it's still good. Fans of the book (like myself) will be very happy and all we have to do is wait one more year or less till the third and final installment of this infectious franchise is released.  The cast was amazing. Lana Condor is the star and she...

It's a been yet another long while since I've reviewed anything but I'm finally back to review the one and only fantabulous emancipation of one Harley Quinn. Along with the introduction of the Birds of Prey, of course. Margot Robbie returns to portray the infamous Harley Quinn as well as having executive producing credit in her belt. The Last time we saw Harley was way back in 2016 in the fan bombshell of a movie, Suicide Squad. Nobody liked the movie for that it was dull and it had many flaws. I did like Squad but I knew there was more to show. Months later, an extended version of the movie was released but it made the story even more complicated. The extended version was basically a Harley cut giving Harley more screen time. Not that I'm complaining for that I love Harley, but I would have loved a Harley solo movie. Birds of Prey is basically a movie about Harley but with new supporting characters supporting her, instead of her being the support of D...
