This has been written spoiler free! I’ve been systematically reviewing Marvel movies for almost a decade now, and how could I not – this. There is a feeling of sadness to think that this is the last film of an era, the final piece of a truly epic saga. True, the Marvel movie universe began … More Avengers: Endgame (2019) – Movie Review
Usable for non-commercial reuse My Friday night Movie Night turned out to be a truly satisfying experience, and “Black Panther” (2018) – the movie itself – was only part of why. I say that to be dramatic, just to open this post with a catch line, really! But no, in all honesty, the movie did … More Black Panther (2018): Movie Review
The son of Odin has returned, yet again, with a resounding thunderous crash but this time with a more lighthearted, warmer and almost sillier flash. “Thor: Ragnarok” (2017) is an oddity in that, while the third sibling, it is its own standalone from its Thor predecessors. “Thor: The Dark World” (2013) was almost always too … More Thor: Ragnarok (2017): Movie Review
Tale as old as 1991, emerges from the dusty corners of our nostalgic vaults to entertain with nothing short of warm gooey glee. Disney’s live-action take on the animated classic Beauty and the Beast (1991) is a magical dessert for the indulgent escapists among us. In an uncertain time battered by turbulent winds of change, … More Beauty and the Beast (2017): Movie Review
It’s been some time since I’ve written for the Literartist. But an X-Men movie has never failed to take me back to my pen. Logan (2017) is a rich turbulent dive into one of the darker currents of the human experience. To summarize, we find ourselves stumbling in an almost mutant-less world in 2029 where … More Logan (2017): Movie Review
Good enough; but nothing spectacular. Wikipedia I find myself hesitant to criticize X-Men movies (except for Jackman’s Wolverine franchise – because those have had some serious yawn-worthy blunders) because I am so partial towards them. Since childhood, I’ve grown up watching the X-Men TV series (1992 – 1997), the accompanying renditions, movies etc. and these … More X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) – Movie Review
Long time since I did a music video review; but when Queen Bey drops a nuclear musical bomb like this – errbody needs to be on high alert! This is not a drill; this is Code Black. Critics are raving, law enforcement is cringing, Right white conservatives are shrinking, and the black rights movement is … More Beyoncé’s "Formation" (2016): Music Review – The Beyoncé Politic
20thCentury Fox’s Deadpool (2016) is a refreshing splatter of blood, wit and meta-narrative. From the moment the film strip spins to life you realize that you’re being screened difference, and that what you’ve comfily seated yourself to watch looks like it’ll be a treat. The nice thing about that expectation is that it holds throughout … More Deadpool (2016): Movie Review
So I’ll admit, I’ve been a bit tardy. Some readers have complained (and I’m flattered) that they are yet to know what I’ve thought of Mad Max (2015) and Jurassic World (2015). Two days ago a message came in for “Straight Outta Compton” (2015). Hold your horses I haven’t even thought of that one yet, … More Movie Mini-reviews: Mad Max, Ex Machina, Jurassic World and…
Taken by Karimelmahalawy It’s all about family, this one. The light scent of Spring that waltzed in late in 2015 was blasted away this weekend by a windstorm of exhaust, carbon, screaming rubber and NOS—like only Vin Diesel’s (Dominic Toretto’s) Dodge Charger can spit out. With this chaotic heated haze also comes both the revisiting … More "Furious 7" (2015): Movie Review
