NO TIME TO DIE

 

Our favorite agent is coming back to the big screen for another go-at-it to prove why he's the best at what he does. This would be Daniel Craig’s last appearance as James Bond after five movies. Personally, I do not think he pulled off the Special Agent as superbly as his predecessors (Pierce Brosnan and Sean Connery). I thought he was too rigid and did not allow himself to embody the role. 

I think when it comes to James Bond movies, the storyline isn’t anything that hasn’t been told before. The execution is what to look out for: technology that you don’t imagine could ever exist, exotic cars that were created just for the film and crazy fight scenes that would leave you on the edge of your seat. No Time to Die was supposed to be released earlier this year but due to the pandemic, it was pushed to April 2021.


Our MI6 fam as always is there to keep the world from blowing to pieces. Agent M played by Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort in Harry Potter), Moneypenny played by Naomie Harris and Q, the brains of MI6, played by Ben Whishaw. Rami Malek, who is known for his outstanding role in the award-winning film Bohemian Rhapsody plays the role of the antagonist. I’m especially eager to see this because I think Rami is such a talented actor and I have no doubt that he would do justice to his role. Also, No Time to Die introduces a couple of female agents: Lashana Lynch (from Captain Marvel) and Ana de Armas (from Blade Runner 2049) who turn out to be just as sleek as Mr. Bond and would just as well receive good screen time. Hans Zimmer, a genius at composing music and soundtracks for many films like Gladiator, Inception and The Dark Knight trilogy to mention a few was also cast as the music composer.

This movie will join the category of the "Most Expensive Movies" ever made with a budget of $250million and I expect that it will cross the One Billion dollar mark at the box office based on how long we've waited for another James Bond movie.

The Trial of the Chicago 7

I had been hesitant to see this film since it came out because I thought it was going to be one of those movies that was boring and typically portrayed black people as victims/slaves, because I'm honestly tired of all that but then someone convinced me otherwise and well it was so damn worth it. An historical legal drama, this movie takes us through the trial of activists;  Abbie Hoffman , Tom Hayden , Rennie Davis , Jerry Rubin , David Dellinger , Lee Weiner and John Froines , after the American government charged them with conspiracy to incite violence across state lines at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in 1968. Originally called the Chicago 8 because Bobby Seale , the national leader of the Black Panther party was one of the defendants but was eventually given a mistrial during the trial.  In 1968, the DNC is about to take place in Chicago where the presidential candidate for the next election was going to be nominated. The President at the time, Lyndon B. Johnson h

Cruella

I was not exactly excited to see this movie as the last major film released by Disney ( Mulan ) ended in tears. Nevertheless, I went ahead to see it and I was not disappointed.  Set in the 70s, Cruella is a girl whose dreams of being a fashion designer come true after she redesigned a dress for the Baroness, one of the big names in the fashion industry at the time. She ends up working for her until she finds out that she's a narcissistic bitch who would do anything to remain in power. Kind of like the Nigerian government. This movie gave me The Devil wears Prada vibes, but less enjoyable. Cruella is based on the novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians by Dodie Smith in which she steals dalmatian dogs in order to make fur coats with their skin. I think this is supposed to be a prequel of sorts as it tells of the origins of Cruella. The idea of trying to create a backstory as to why a villain turned out the way they did is honestly getting tiring. I'd be much happier knowing that

Wrath of Man

As a huge action movie fan, it is my responsibility to watch every blockbuster action film that gets released. Action and horror movies tend to keep me on the edge of my seat and that's a feeling I wouldn't pass up for anything. Guy Ritchie , the director is known for his great storytelling and we see this in some of his previous movies like Sherlock Holmes and The Man from UNCLE . Wrath of Man did not have a great story line, but like his other movies, he keeps you on the edge of your seat with the suspense, thrill and intensity. It had the typical Guy Ritchie signature: the timelines and the sound effect. Basically, Jason Statham plays a man who is trying to avenge the death of his son. That's literally it. Fun fact, Jason Statham made his acting debut in Guy Ritchie's film and they have gone on to collaborate 3 times after that, this being the fourth. I thought the movie was unnecessarily long. There were some scenes that I don't think deserved much detail. Mos
