Entergalactic (2022) - Movie Review


Entergalactic - Simple, Stylish, and just a bit Trippy

Rating - 8/10

“Love is the easiest thing in the world when it happens by accident, but it doesn't get real until you do it on purpose.”

    Kid Cudi’s Entergalactic is more than just a visual companion to his album. It’s a vibe, a mood, and a love letter to New York City wrapped in a strikingly stylish animated package.

    The story itself is pretty straightforward: Jabari, a rising artist in the city, meets Meadow, a photographer, and the two spark a connection that grows into something deeper. There aren’t any big twists or high-stakes drama as this is a simple romance at its core. But that simplicity works in its favor, letting the visuals, music, and atmosphere take center stage.

    The animation is absolutely stunning, and at times a little psychedelic. It has this dreamy, almost comic-book aesthetic that feels both modern and timeless. Not quite as striking, but definetly comparable to the Spider-verse movies. The colors pop, the cityscapes glow, and every frame looks like it could hang on a wall. It’s one of those styles that makes you want to rewatch scenes just to soak in the details.

    Of course, a project tied to Kid Cudi wouldn’t be complete without a killer soundtrack, and Entergalactic delivers. The music flows perfectly with the mood of the film, blending his signature sound with moments that heighten the romance and emotion. On top of that, the voice acting feels genuine and effortless—each character comes alive thanks to the natural performances.

    Overall, Entergalactic doesn’t try to be something it’s not. It’s a chill, beautifully animated, and musically rich experience that’s easy to fall into. While the story might not break new ground, the execution makes it something special.

    A heartfelt and visually captivating ride that’s as much about the vibe as it is about the love story.

Civil War (2024) - Movie Review

Civil War - Another Gripping Alex Garland Film Rating - 7/10 “They’re not the good guys. We’re not the bad guys. We’re just trying to tell the story.”      Civil War is a gripping and unsettling film that imagines an America torn apart, not through some far fetched science fiction lens, but through the eyes of those trying to make sense of it, journalists on the frontlines. Directed by Alex Garland, this film does not hold your hand or over explain its world. Instead, it drops you into chaos and asks you to observe, to feel, and to interpret what you see. It is intense, grounded, and deeply uncomfortable in the best way possible.      The cast delivers sharp and believable performances that make the story feel almost too real. Kirsten Dunst gives one of her most grounded portrayals, showing both weariness and courage as a photojournalist who has seen too much. Her quiet strength contrasts beautifully with the reckless energy of her younger colleague, pla...

Drive-Away Dolls (2024) - Movie Review

 Drive-Away Dolls - An Ethan Coen Miss Rating - 5/10 "Some trips just do not go the way you think they will."      Drive-Away Dolls tries to mix crime, comedy, and a road trip adventure, but it ends up feeling uneven and a little hollow. It has moments of charm, yet the story never fully delivers the excitement or emotional pull that it promises.      The plot follows two best friends, Jamie and Marian, who hit the road for a fresh start. What begins as a simple drive quickly turns chaotic when they cross paths with criminals and get tangled up in a mess they never asked for. The film plays with quirky humor and offbeat characters, but it struggles to keep a consistent tone from scene to scene.      The performances are solid. Margaret Qualley brings a playful energy with an accent you'll either love or hate, and Geraldine Viswanathan adds heart and relatability. There are fun moments of dialogue and flashes of clever writing, but they...

Tenet (2020) - Movie Review

Tenet - Nolan is Getting a Little Too Confusing Rating - 7/10 “Don’t try to understand it. Feel it.”      Christopher Nolan’s Tenet is an ambitious and cerebral spectacle that pushes the boundaries of what a blockbuster can be. It is bold, stylish, and brimming with confidence, as Nolan once again dives into the complexities of time and perception. From the first gunshot that moves backward through glass to the film’s explosive final act, Tenet demands your full attention and never lets up.      The concept of time inversion is both fascinating and overwhelming. Nolan constructs a puzzle that feels like it is folding in on itself, and while the science might not always add up, the sheer audacity of it is thrilling to watch. Every scene feels meticulously crafted, from the choreography of reversed fight sequences to the massive set pieces that blur the line between forward and backward motion. Visually, the film is stunning, and the practical effects and...
