Though part one takes a while to accelerate, part two picks up right where things started to take off. I’ve never read the novel or watched the original movie, but it was pretty easy to get invested in this franchise once things started going.
All in reviews
Imaginary: You Can’t Fake a Hit
You really hate to see potential go to waste. Here’s the thing: because there was minimal world building done to achieve the concept of the movie, I feel like it does leave a lot of possibility for more exploration.
One Love: RASTAFARIIIIII!
Strong biopic. Bob Marley is so iconic that, ironically, we don’t often see him humanized beyond the music. the movie did a great job on doing that by focusing on what motivated him to leave behind the legacy that he did.
Madame Web: Low Expectations, Low Disappointments
You know what? I’ve seen a lot of takes saying this movie was terrible. To be honest, I didn’t expect much and so I believe I was able to walk away more satisfied than most. Full disclosure: I don’t keep up with the storylines of all the super hero movies so I don’t know where this falls that zeitgeist, which could be why I didn’t mind it.
COMING HOME is Quintessential Usher
In line with the lead up to tomorrow’s Super Bowl LVIII Halftime performance, Usher's equally anticipated album COMING HOME is finally out. The melodies are captivating. The lyrics are evocative. One of the best things about COMING HOME is that it showcases Usher's evolution as an artist in adapting different sounds while being able to stay true to his signature.
Mean Girls: Why, Again?
I mean...it was Mean Girls. It was also a musical. It was absolutely unnecessary. Obviously, the movie gave Reneé Rapp an opportunity to double down on both of the talents we are coming to know her for but aside from that it could’ve stayed on Broadway.
