Finding Dory
FINDING DORY
JR's Rating:  (10 out of 10) 
"The Most Fitting Story For The Blue Tang With Short Term Memory Loss" 

POSITIVES
➕ Dory's Cute Childhood
➕ Marine Life Institute
➕ Sigourney Weaver
➕ Hank, Destiny & Bailey
➕ How Dory Find Her Parents
➕ Expressway Scene
NEGATIVES







Finding Dory used the Finding Nemo formula that still proved to be effective to today's viewers as was the last one more than ten years ago. Surprisingly, the story for Finding Dory is very much independent with that of Finding Nemo so no need to watch the first movie to understand the story of this movie. Finding Dory brings us to an adventure to the Marine Life Institute being referred to as "The Jewel of Morro Bay, California" where Dory is in search of her mother Jenny and father Charlie. This movie gives us a closure to why Dory was lost at sea in the first place. While I do believe that the first film was better in terms of story, this one improves on the aesthetics with numerous new sea creatures being added to the scene like an octopus (named Hank), a whale shark (named Destiny), a beluga whale (named Bailey), and the massive squid that generally reflected the anglerfish from the first film. This film is definitely like your average old Pixar film ready to make you lose control of your emotions. What makes this movie so special is how they portrayed the importance of family whether they be by blood or by friends. How Dory finds her parents and how her parents found her would truly make your eyes jerk with tears. Every time flashbacks of Dory with her mother and father are shown, it made me even sadder the more. The value of Dory for Nemo and Marlin as family is however the defining moment of the film. Finding Nemo I have to say though was a better film than Finding Dory but the touching story of dedication, morals made for family and friends, and improved animation makes this movie deserve a 10 out of 10, a definite recommendation to any friend of mine. You need to have a good understanding of flashback though to understand how the story of the movie works. Hoping for a Finding Hank or Finding Destiny soon. ‬

JR's Movie Reviews - THE CONJURING 2

The Conjuring 2
THE CONJURING 2
JR's Rating:  (9.0 out of 10) 
"A Terrifying Experience That Leaves Chills and Fright for Days" 

POSITIVES
➕ Valak, The Nun
➕ More Jump Scares
➕ Lorraine Warren Amityville Intro
➕ Terrifying Invertion of Crosses
➕ Lorraine & Valak Library Scene
NEGATIVES






One good way to start an awesome horror movie - "based on a true story". In an era where sequels for horror films are not well acclaimed, The Conjuring 2 proved otherwise. The movie is filled with intense and terrifying scenes that will haunt your sleep for days (Valak gave me the chills while I was convincing myself to sleep). The Conjuring 2 provides its audience terror almost every minute making it an incredible movie experience for the average cinema viewer. James Wan provides the best example of how a horror movie should be: good source material, terrifying villain, numerous jump scares and a very captivating and moving story. Ed and Lorraine Warren's investigations with the paranormal are the subjects of this horror movie franchise and this movie might be the best yet (that's for me). The Conjuring 2 explores the presence of three terrifying villains in the Hodgson's Residence at the most documented Enfield Poltergeist - the Crooked Man, old man Bill Wilkins and the one that really led them all, Valak, the demonic nun from hell (who's getting her own spin-off movie by the way). What made me interested to watch The Conjuring franchise is the demons the Warrens are fighting (as the Warrens end each movie with condemning the demon back to hell by proclaiming its name). My favorite scene would definitely be Lorraine Warren being face-to-face with Valak at what seems to be an office in their house. To be honest though, I would not have watched the film if it were not for my friends who really said it was damn terrifying and yeah they didn't fail me. Just as Friday the 13th dominated the 1980s, Scream the 1990s and Saw the 2000s, The Conjuring franchise might definitely define the horror genre this 2010s. Anticipating for more adventure from the Warrens.

JR's Movie Reviews - CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR

No comments:
Captain America: Civil War
CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR 
JR's Rating:  (10 out of 10) 
"The Most Ambitious Yet Grandest Film of the Year (So Far)" 

POSITIVES
➕ Spider-Man
➕ Black Panther
➕ Team Captain America vs. Team Iron Man
➕ Airport Battle Scene
NEGATIVES





The movie is indeed one of the grandest and most ambitious films ever made surpassing the grandeur and power of its predecessors. To say that any of the Avengers or Iron Man films is better than this film is an understatement to the third act of Captain America. In Captain America: Civil War, we see Team Captain America fight against Team Iron Man after a supposed protocol was to be imposed by the United Nations on the Avengers as innocent lives were sacrificed in previous missions by the mightiest heroes in the land specifically those missions done in New York (The Avengers), Washington D.C. (Captain America: Winter Soldier), Sokovia (Avengers: Age of Ultron) and Lagos, Nigeria (beginning of Captain America: Civil War). Captain America fights for the right of superheroes to decide on their own whereas Iron Man fights for the enlistment of the Avengers under the United Nations Sokovia Accords. The ensemble cast has 12 superheroes fighting blood and sweat for what they believe in. The stand-out would definitely be Spider-Man who I would be anticipating very soon. (Spider-Man is my favorite superhero and this movie gave due respect to the titular superhero that the reboot Spider-Man movies failed to do. Thank you Sony for allowing Spider-Man to be part of the Avengers.) The Black Panther and Ant-Man were some of my other favorites to make an appearance. Though there were boring conversational arguments and a very unexciting villain in the movie, the action sequences occurring almost every minute between the different superheroes made such problem forgivable and very deserving of a 10/10. This is the best movie of the 2016 so far. Truly grand in scope and out of this world.
