Quick update: 2020 Plans

-
Hello everyone! This is just your Regular Joe over here. I'm hoping everyone is having a happy new year. I just wanted to give you all a quick update over what I've had plans for this current year. As you may noticed, I've just posted my first review on this blog since a month ago, and I want it to make clear that review should only be the first to come. I plan on making weekly updates with reviews or analysis over movies (And likely tv shows and video games later down the line)that I hope will make for some interesting reading.

As always, I've always taken feedback and requests for reviews into consideration so if there are any of the two you want to provide, please feel free to do so. Thanks for giving me a look!

May - Movie Review

-

    So for those unaware, I've decided to indulge my cravings for horror films that are have been building up for a while by dedicating the next 15 reviews or so to that genre. I have plenty of movie lineup, the first of which is director Lucky McKee's mixup of oddball comedy and psychological horror May .     Released back in 2002 to a rather decent critical reception, May has attained more of a cult status over the years. I was introduced to this film by a good friend of mine, and we watched it together with other people, and that was a pretty good time. But having to watch the film again myself has actually help me really appreciate what McKee wanted to tell with this story.     Even though the film contains some rather violent imagery, a lot of the horror in this story is rooted in the concept of loneliness. Our central character May is very much disconnected from everyone else around her. Throughout the film, she desperately tries to make attachments to various characters

Thunder Force - Movie Review

    Grade: D+     What's the first rule of a comedy? Be funny. What's the first rule of a superhero story? Be exciting. Yet somehow, Thunder Force fails at being both. Starring Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer with the supporting cast-around out by well-known faces such as Bobby Cannavale, Pom Klementieff, Kevin Dunn, Melissa Leo, and Jason Bateman, Thunder Force is another collaboration between McCarthy and her husband Ben Falcone who once again is in the director's chair. McCarthy and Spencer played two childhood friends who invent a way to become superheroes to combat criminals who are born superpowered.     If anything is a personal annoyance of mine, it's watching talented actors working with material that is so clearly not up to their level. Without a doubt, the only film that remains in the semi-watchable realm is trying to make the script work. It just that this cast is stuck in a film that feels half-baked. And it such a shame because a pairing such as Me

Treasure Planet - Movie Review

      Grade: B     Treasure Planet was released in 2002 and is an animated science fantasy action-adventure known for being one of the last few traditionally animated films produced by Disney. Co-directed by Ron Clements and Jon Musker, the film stars Joesph Gordon-Levitt, Brian Murray, David Hyde Pierce, Martin Short, Roscoe Lee Browne, Emma Thompson, Michael Wincott, Laurie Metcalf, and Patrick McGoohan. In the studio's third rendering of the classic novel, a rebellious teen is given a map by a dying pirate, driving him on a grand adventure across the universe to find a planet that promises a neverending bounty of treasure.     While I don't find the film matches the heights of other Disney classics, Treasure Planet offers enough fun swashbuckling adventure and visual splendor to satisfy. Through a combination of traditional and CG animation, the film effortlessly brings this vision to life. I love the combination of futuristic and retro elements that is a keen element in th
