The New Mutants (2020)

Shoulda, woulda, coulda

[8/10 · 9 October 2021]

I actually enjoyed this movie! The cast really played off of each other well and embodied their characters nicely. If it weren't for the reshoots and 'rona, this movie could have been amazing! Unfortunately, it's just okay. And with Fox getting bought by Disney, I would say the likelihood of a sequel is slim to none. Which sucks because I would love to see these characters again. Also, Charlie Heaton's Kentucky accent is kinda all over the place. Like it would be thick in one scene and then just slight in others. Probably because of the reshoots.

The Sun Is Also a Star (2019)

It's Not Awful

[6/10 · 26 May 2021]

The two leads clearly have great chemistry but the story drags a lot. Also, weird karaoke scene. It was a good movie but I wouldn't want to watch it again.

Two Distant Strangers (2020)

Amazing (sucks they stole someone else's idea though)

[9/10 · 23 April 2021]

I'm not the best with words, but this short film is amazing. Yes, some of the dialogue at the beginning is a bit cringe, but the overall message comes through. Be prepared to cry a lot. Black Lives Still Matter. This better win an Oscar!

Edit: So it did win an Oscar but unfortunately they plagiarised the whole premise off of Cynthia Kao from 4 years earlier.

Falling Inn Love (2019)

Not that bad

[7/10 · 31 August 2019]

Very much like your typical Halmark made for TV movie. Has a few cheesy moments but all in all isn't terrible. If you're looking for a really cliché rom-com, it's this. 😁

DJ Cinderella (2019)

It's pretty good

Before you watch the movie, use the subtitles because the dubbed English is horrible. This movie is a great take on the story of Cinderella. It's has it's moments for sure -yes some of the acting is a little over the top at times- but it has good morals about not compromising who you are or your dreams for a man. Plus the soundtrack is banging too.
