Hey everyone, it's FINALLY time for me to talk about The Penguin. As someone who rode The Batman hype train from the moment shooting started all the way to the film coming out and turning out as a masterpiece, I was unbelievably pumped to see the next chapter of this Epic Crime Saga. Without spoiling my thoughts too much, Lauren LeFranc and Matt Re…

The world's greatest action franchise - Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible - returns next year with its 'supposed' final entry. Mission: Impossible - Dead Re... excuse me, Final Reckoning just dropped its first trailer, teasing the final adventure with Ethan Hunt and his IMF crew. I love, LOVE this franchise and I want nothing more than for them to e…

Hey everyone, welcome back to another review and today, we’ll be discussing the sequel to one of the most consistent franchises in films right now. Paddington and Paddington 2 are both some of the best family movies of the last decade. The thought of doing a third film is definitely terrifying because of how it could affect this franchise’s track r…

Hey everyone, welcome back to another review! Today, I'll be reviewing the newly-released Amazon Christmas action-comedy: Red One, starring The Rock and Chris Evans. I was initially pretty excited for this one because I loved the pitch and I'm just someone who loves Christmas... but those trailers, woof. Since then, I've been a little cold towards …

Hey everyone, another MCU show has now come and gone. Today, I'll be sharing my long-awaited thoughts on Marvel Television's Agatha All Along - a show that, to say the least, I was NOT anticipating. I fell a couple of weeks behind when this show first started, an MCU first for me... which just about shows my interest going into this show. Some peop…

Hey all, I know… I know. My review of Agatha All Along should be out soon but I’m probably the only person you’ll hear from who actually bothered watching Juror #2. So, I thought I’d weigh in and share my thoughts on what was a surpassingly solid ‘90s throwback courtroom drama, with a twist. Enjoy my review of Juror #2 because it will likely be the…

Hey everyone, welcome back to another review here on MOVIE Morning. Today, I’ll be discussing the team up of a lifetime: Hugh Grant, the writers of A Quiet Place and A24. Hell, yes! That, the premise and the early buzz got me very curious to go check out Heretic and it was even better that this film was gonna be hitting UK cinemas just a little ear…

Hey everybody, just a couple of weeks ago, the BFI London FIlm Festival was on and it was my first ever film festival experience. That being said, it was pretty tumultuous, in good way. I attended some screenings as part of LFF on Tour but also within London itself while I was there for a few days. There have also been a few films I've seen since t…

Hey everyone, the Jury Prize Winner at the Cannes Film Festival and the film that secured Best Actress (for all 3 of its main female performances) - Emilia Pérez - will be hitting Netflix very soon (in under 2 weeks).

Well, here we are. After 6 years, the Venom trilogy has come to a close... for now. Venom: The Last Dance has now hit theaters worldwide and for a long time, I have been very open that I am a big fan of these films because they're just fun! I've also always been a big Tom Hardy fan and these movies just really let him off the leash. As a huge Spide…

The latest lego movie - Piece by Piece - that is for some reason a story about the life of Pharrell Williams has hit theaters in the US and will have a bit of a slow theatrical rollout globally over the next few months.​ I was lucky enough to see the film just a little early thanks to the BFI London FIlm Festival which just wrapped up, with this fi…

Hey everyone, I was in London recently and got to check out a few upcoming, highly anticipated films as part of the London Film Festival. In today's review, we'll be discussing We Live in Time, the Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh romantic drama that had its limited debut last week and has had a very slow rollout into wider markets. This movie cam…

Hey everyone, welcome back to another review here. Today, I am going to be reviewing DreamWorks' critically acclaimed film The Wild Robot. This was easily one of my most anticipated movies of the fall season; I thought the trailers were incredible and I also love DreamWorks as an animation studio, even if they've fallen off massively over the last …

Hey everyone, it's time to review one of the most hyped up movies of 2024: Sean Baker's Anora. I think Sean Baker is a very talented filmmaker and ever since Cannes five months ago, Anora has been said by awards pundits to be one of the must-watch films of 2024. Well, they weren't kidding. I'm very curious to see how it catches on with the general …

Hey everyone, Steve McQueen - director of 12 Years a Slave - has a new film coming out in Blitz. This film just had its premiere at the BFI London Film Festival and since I'm in Manchester for university, I was lucky enough to attend one of the LFF on tour screenings that was held in Manchester (on the same day as its world premiere)! So, is Blitz …

Well, here we.... go! Joker: Folie à Deux - the sequel to the polarizing but smash hit Joker - has now hit theaters. it's not secret at this point that Todd Phillips and his team had no intention of making a sequel to the first film but Academy Awards, including one for Joaquin Phoenix himself, and a billion-dollar box office run started to turn so…

Hey everyone, the latest action-thriller from Netflix - Rebel Ridge - hit the platform just a few days ago and it's garnered up quite a bit of chatter online. I had the pleasure of checking it out just a few days ago and was pleasantly surprised by the results as I've come to express the worst form Netflix thrillers like this. Today, I'll be giving…

At long last, we finally have a director for the upcoming Tom Holland MCU Spider-Man 4! Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director - Destin Daniel Cretton - will be helming the movie which will reportedly head into production in early 2025. This comes just a year after he departed directing Avengers: The Kang Dynasty but it seems like he ma…

Hey everyone, welcome back to another review here on MOVIE Morning. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the follow-up to the Tim Burton classic 'Beetlejuice', has now hit theaters worldwide. To be honest, I only saw the first Beetlejuice for the first time last week and while I somewhat enjoyed it, it's by no means a formative film for me like for so many of …

Hey everyone, what was that?! The first official teaser for A Minecraft Movie, the first feature adaptation of the legendary and popular video game, was released by WB a few hours ago and… well, huh? There’s a lot to discuss when it comes to this teaser including how we feel about the live-action/animated hybrid world, the casting, sense of humor, …

Hey everyone, the latest attempt to revive the Terminator franchise - the Netflix anime Terminator Zero - has arrived. It comes from Mattson Tomlin, co-writer of The Batman - Part II, who has plans for future seasons of this show as well. T2 is one of my favorite movies of all-time, probably top 3. Therefore, I will always be interested in what thi…

In this episode, I'll be breaking down all the news about…

Hey Sonic fans, at long last, the first trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has dropped online. I'd be lying if I said I was a huge mega-fan of Sonic, the games or these movies, but I've enjoyed them enough as fun kids movies. For some of you all though, I know how much you love these movies so as a casual fan, I wanted to step in and share my initial…

Hey everyone, we have some more apparent "news" regarding the MCU's Spider-Man 4, starring Tom Holland. It has been a long wait to get an official, major update regarding this highly-anticipated fourth entry, which is also the sequel to one of the biggest movies of all-time - Spider-Man: No Way Home. Some want more Tobey & Andrew while others want …

Hey everybody, Inside Out 2 - the biggest box-office film of 2024 so far - arrived on digital platforms for home viewing this past week. Because of its incredible success at the box-office, I thought it would be fun to celebrate its unique medium of telling stories: ANIMATION. I, like all of you, have been watching and loving animated movies since …

Last week, Deadpool & Wolverine became the latest movie to join the so coveted billion-dollar club. It is the 55th film to make $1 billion dollars at the worldwide box office and the 8th to do so that has been released in the 2020s. With unforeseen circumstances like COVID and the Hollywood strikes of 2023, this decade got off to a bit of a slow st…

Hello, my fellow Alien fans. Alien: Romulus has now hit theaters! This is easily one of the most hotly anticipated films of the year because of its franchise throwbacks and its very talented horror director, Fede Álvarez. The reactions to this movie have been interesting, particularly surrounding a few very surprising decisions made in the back hal…

Hey everyone, Alien: Romulus has now been out in theaters for a few days and, surprisingly enough, I actually have a few spoiler moments I want to discuss in more detail in this film. This won’t be a full play-by-play like my spoiler review for Deadpool & Wolverine but rather just touching on a few moments that are worth discussing that couldn’t re…

Hey everyone, one of my most anticipated movies of the year - Fede Álvarez's Alien: Romulus - has now hit theaters. It is obviously the premier theatrical release of August and it's a film I was very excited for because I love the first two Alien movies but I'm also a big fan of Fede's horror movies. The trailers looked VERY promising and after the…

Hey everyone, The Umbrella Academy is back with its latest and final season. Overall, I think this show has been a bit of a mixed bag, with some AMAZING moments and characters but some very messy storytelling. That, in my opinion, has been pretty consistent over all three of the previous seasons. Well, the show has now wrapped, with season 4 droppi…

Hey everyone, the latest video game adaptation - Borderlands - has been released in theaters. I have never really had much interest in the games but from reading the premise, I always thought a movie adaptation could be fun. That being said, the behind the scenes nightmare that we've heard this film turned into and the constant delays (the movie BE…

Hey everyone, I hope you’re all doing better than I am because I just wasted 3 hours and 20+ minutes watching the Director’s Cut of Rebel Moon - Part 1, which has now been retitled ‘Chapter One: Chalice of Blood’ for this release. I was on record as hating Part 2 of Rebel Moon back in April but I was one of the rare few who actually dug the first p…

Hey everyone, M. Night Shyamalan is back! While I have not been a big fan of his work in recent years (since Split), it is undeniable that he makes some of the more interesting movies out there and I always appreciate going to see his movies in theaters. Trap seemed like a great concept which is why it was one of my most anticipated movies of the b…

Hey everyone, Batman: Caped Crusader - the latest attempt at making a Batman animated series - has finally arrived on Prime Video. I feel like it has been an ENDLESS wait to see this series; I've been hyped to see this show ever since they announced it YEARS back and that it would be from Matt Reeves as well as, creator of Batman: The Animated Seri…

Hey everyone, Marvel Studios’s SDCC panel for 2024 has now come and gone… and we, of course, have tons of new details from their upcoming projects to discuss. However, most of it - I thought - was pretty superfluous and felt like a lot of information that didn’t really mean much in the long run. There were some awesome details such as learning we’l…

Hey everyone, Deadpool & Wolverine is now out in theaters worldwide! I’ve had the chance to see it twice now so it’s time we break down this entire film and all the plot points, crazy appearances & references and characters moments.

Hey everyone, my most anticipated movie of the year (as I'm sure it is for most of you as well) - DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE - has finally released! The Fox X-Men franchise has a very special place in my heart: it's arguably the movie franchise that got me into nerdy comic book and superhero stuff on a deeper level in the first place, despite how much I …

Hey everyone, the first 5 episodes of Cobra Kai season 6 have dropped on Netflix! I, of course, love this show and apparently you all LOVE hearing me talk about it so I’m definitely excited for it to be back. That being said, I didn’t love season 5 and I feel like the general hype for season 6 just hasn’t really been there due to a lack of promotio…

Hey everyone, the latest Star Wars show - The Acolyte - has now wrapped up on Disney+ and oh boy, listening to the discourse around this show for the last 7 weeks or so has been a nightmare. I’m so glad it’s over… finally! That being said, I did want to give my thought on the whole show considering I didn’t review any episode since the first two. S…

There’s a lot to discuss in this trailer, including our first looks at Harrison Ford as Thunderbolt Ross, Giancarlo Esposito as a mystery character, the first appearance of The Leader, a potential celestial cameo and, of course, Red…

Hey everyone, Twisters - the "sequel" to one of the quintessential summer blockbusters of all-time, Twister - has hit theaters... a week early here! This is a film that I was heavily anticipating because the first film is a blast, the trailers looked fun and it was being directed by Lee Isaac Chung, who directed Minari. Oh, and I love the cast. I w…

Are you not entertained?! The first official trailer at Ridley Scott’s upcoming Gladiator II, the sequel to his best picture winning film, has not arrived from Paramount. This is, without question, one of my most anticipated films of the rest of the year because the first Gladiator is probably one of the greatest films ever made. However, Ridley Sc…

Hello, everybody! Despicable Me 4, a movie that, to say the least, I have not been all that excited for, has now hit theaters. I have not been a fan of any of the films in this franchise since 2013's Despicable Me 2, however I am an OG fan of this franchise who's been there since the first one came out. Despicable Me 4 is shaping up to be one of th…

Hey everyone, season 3 of what is possibly my favorite show on TV, The Bear, has now hit Hulu and other platforms across the world.

Make sure to let me know what your most anticipated movie of the …

Hey everyone, one of my most anticipated movies of summer 2024 - A Quiet Place: Day One - has now hit theaters. This is, of course, the spin-off of the two excellent John Krasinski directed A Quiet Place films that featured the Abbott family. The opening scene of A Quiet Place Part II featured a hint of what DAY ONE was in a small town but this mov…

Hey everyone, Pixar's Inside Out 2 has only been out in theaters for about a week and a half and it's already the biggest box office film of 2024! After the summer started off with a few whimpers, critically and financially, it seems this summer (for the movies) has started to turn around for the better... at least in terms of box office. After wee…

Hey everyone, welcome back to another review! Inside Out 2, the sequel to one of the most celebrated films Pixar (a FANTASTIC studio) has ever put out, has now hit theaters but the hype for this one just hasn't been there. I was looking forward to it and was very curious about what Pixar had to say about emotions during our teenage years as opposed…
