The Daily Bugle (2019– )

J. Jonah Jameson: "A modern-day messias"

[25 January 2022]

I used to be a loyal supporter of the "Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man" but now, thanks to the raw facts provided to us by The Daily Bugle, I can finally see the Spider-Man as what he truly is: A Menace.

Keep spreading the truth Mr. Jameson, it's time we take our safety into our own hands and collectively stand up against this vigilante.

The Irishman (2019)

Borderline overrated

[7/10 · 6 December 2019]

The actors did their job very well and the directing was just as great but honestly this movie was boring.

I knew this movie was three and a half hours long before watching it but now I can see why. The main story line is amusing and already the fundamentels for a masterpiece but I felt like they kept diverting from the plot by adding more and more substories and eventually the movie felt drawn out.

Brokeback Mountain (2005)

Very sad

[8/10 · 6 December 2019]

Starting this movie I had no idea that they were going to be "this close" as I thought this was a story about 2 friends. Putting my surprise aside I thought this movie was very cool. Both Heath and Jake are very good in their roles and in the end I was shocked, distressed and mainly sad.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)

An amazing story

[10/10 · 6 December 2019]

This is a coming of age story which if you watch at the right time is honestly a masterpiece. When I discovered this story I was about the same age as Charlie (perhaps a bit older) and even though I am no wallflower/missfit like him I saw a lot of myself in. His struggles felt close to home and because of that the story gave a sense of reassurance. Charlie is a beautiful character and this was a movie of which I'm very glad that it was made.

Logan Lerman is perfect in his role and all the actors bring their characters how I feel they were supposed to. Emma Watson is a magnificent actress but because it was one of her first movies since Harry Potter a lot of the critics act like this movie is all about her which I think is honestly sad.

V-Wars (2019)

I see potential

[8/10 · 6 December 2019]

Starting V-wars you can obviously see that there are some strong actors involved in the show. The entire plot is very original because of things like global warming that was woven into it. Nontheless there are downsides, the writing isn't great and there were some moments that were straight up cringe worthy. Ian Somerhalder is a great actor but just like others I didn't really buy him in the scientist role, towards the end of the show (def the last minute) he was evolving into a more badass version of doctor Luther and I hope to see him evolve further in the show. Season 2 is definitely on my watchlist!
