#TheConjuringTheDevilMadeMeDoIt is an excellent horror picture in every way. It maintains the franchise's essence while departing from some of its demonic traditions.  To begin, Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, who play Ed and Lorraine Warren, continue to give outstanding performances. They've been playing these characters for years and have maintained a similar tone in their performances, delving deeper into their personas with each picture. It's also enjoyable to see a scary film with a strong performance. The rest of the cast’s performances almost match the leads but don’t quite reach the same heights. Ruairi O’Connor plays Arnie, who is put on trial for murder while being possessed. He does a great job, specifically in switching between the possessed and normal versions of himself. This picture does a surprisingly decent job of breaking the formula while remaining true to the franchise in terms of plot. The biggest difference from prior mainstream films is t...

I was divided between excitement and terror for the whole run of Disney's #Cruella de Vil. Rarely has a film vivisected me as much as this one about a villain most known for wanting to skin puppies for a coat. Only Cruella isn't truly about that character. It has nothing to do with her battles with the fur business or PETA. It's not about a bunch of Dalmatian dogs trying to get away from her furrier urges. It's a colorful and pulpy story about a lady with severe narcissistic tendencies who seeks vengeance on a killer while also becoming a fashion sensation in London. I apologize if you ever thought, "I could never have anything except campy adoration for Disney's puppy murderer," but this lady is a pleasure. This is more Wicked than Joker in the sense that it reimagines a well-known villain as a misguided hero who has been tarnished by the media. However, I'm not sure why it's called Cruella de Vil rather than an original fi...

It's been nearly a week since the release of Zack Snyder's Justice League. Although the movie has been widely received by many this week, Warnermedia chief Ann Sarnoff announced that the Snyderverse won't be continued and there will be no sequels to the Snyder cut. While fans have decided to use the old ways of hashtags, it might fall on deaf ears this time. So, what is Warner planning for the DCEU?  There is a whole lot of things lined up already - The Suicide Squad being one of those individually slated films and the Shazam sequel, with a reboot of The Batman starring Rob Pattinson (Twillight) and DC has a lot of characters in its rosters which means a lot can still happen but here are the movies we know are currently in the works or are set to be released. The Suicide Squad :  August 6th 2021 DC decided to get another Marvel director James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy), Margot Robbie, Viola Davis and Joel Kinnaman all reprise their roles from the...

 Ughhh, we don't like this too!😪 It's like waiting for a glass of wine and just when you thought you had it, it's broken. Still due to the pandemic, theatrical productions are "stillllll" unstable and release dates keep being pushed back! Black Widow: Slated for May 7th has now been moved to July 9th. We're really looking forward to this and hope Walt Disney and Marvel stick to this new date.   Free Guy: Originally slated for May 21st, now rescheduled to August 13th. With stress from school and everything right now. We can all use a comedy film. TSG and 21 Laps Entertainment seem to be very sure of this date, we hope there's no shift again.

Zack Snyder's Justice League Starring : Calvin Harris , Ben Affleck ,Gal Gadot ,Ray Fisher ,Jason Mamoa ,Ezra Miller ,Ciran Hinds  Run time : 242 mins About 3 years ago, a box office bomb was released in cinemas; it's name was The Justice League. Originally an envisionment of Zack Snyder, some bad administration work caused Warner Bros a lot of money incase you didn't know Justice League is the highest budgeted movie of all time. So, it  didn't go down well with the studio that its biggest movie didn't go so big.  The Snyder Cut as it is called was allowed for a redemption for the Studio and Film itself. Hence, changes to the Theatrical cut or is itjust the same blank movie that it was? Let's find out! The Movie starts with a flashback to the events that took place in Batman vs Superman in which he dies at the hands of doomsday.  This version centers it's story more on hope, the world has lost its greatest protector and is open to the...

Anyone who knows me well knows that I am a diehard DC fan, a grand supporter but for the past 6 years I have had to cover my face in shame because the cinematic universe of Marvel is way better and ahead, in the year 2017 where I suffered a huge blow from the Justice league. From that day I lost hope in the DCEU (cinematic universe) and  completely switched to Marvel. For those asking why there are two justice league movies which are similar in a way I will explain what the Snyder Cut is. Zack Snyder was the original director of the Justice League movie, he did Batman vs Superman and the Man of steel, he is also known for his work on  300: Rise of an Empire. He had an original vision for the justice league movie to cap his grand move on his DCEU movie line up but sadly his Daughter committed suicide, he left the film to focus on his family and all. Warner Bros appointed Joss Whedon (director of the avenger movies ) to quote " complete the film". But old Joss didn't comple...
