Spider-Man: No Way Home (Spoiler Free)

★★★★★

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) - IMDb

Picking up hot off the heels of Spiderman: Far From Home, after having his secret identity revealed by Mysterio, Peter Parker must adapt to life where the world knows he is Spider-Man. When Peter begins to face the repercussions of being framed for murdering Mysterio and for the drone attack in London, he turns to Dr. Strange for help. But when Strange’s magic spell goes awry, Peter is faced with new multiversal threats.

Spider-Man: No Way Home was the perfect Spider-Man movie. And by that, I mean anything a fan could possibly dream, it had it. Now, it’s extremely difficult to delve into discussing this movie without spoilers, but I can say without a doubt it was the best Spider-Man movie I’ve ever seen, as well as one of the best Marvel Cinematic Universe, rivaling even Avengers: Endgame. A big part of this praise was the energy in the theater at key moments, similar to when the excitement of seeing Captain America finally lift Mjolnir. I’m sure most people have already seen No Way Home given the crazy records it has been setting, but if not, I’d highly recommend seeing this movie in the theater and as soon as possible to get the full experience.

Tom Holland gave his best performance yet, bringing his A-game as Peter. One of the reasons he shined so bright, however, was his co-stars Zendaya and Jacob Batalon. These three have had fantastic chemistry since Homecoming, and their bond really shows here with each of them elevating each other’s performances to the next level. Director Jon Watts brought his flavorful balance of comedy, action, and heart – all of which are necessities in crafting a great Spider-Man film.

Now, I don’t believe these are spoilers since they were revealed in the trailer, but I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock and Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin return to the big screen. Having seen them battle Spider-Man almost 20 years ago, it was such a treat and a fan service to see them return in their supervillain duds.

Something loved about the movie was that it was all about second chances. Doc Ock and Green Goblin died fighting Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man, so when they were brought to the world of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, instead of just sending them home to be killed, he made an effort to cure them of their madness. To give them a second chance so they wouldn’t have to be sent back home to die. I can’t think of a more fitting theme for Spider-Man than to give someone a second chance.

Maybe I’m still just caught up in the excitement, and maybe my opinion will change when I rewatch it sometime next year, but I have to give this movie 5/5 stars. It did and had everything I could have possibly wanted from a Spider-Man movie, and I still almost can’t believe it happened, it was so good. No Way Home is definitely my favorite movie of 2021, and I believe most everyone seeing it would agree.

5 Non-Christmas Christmas Movies Like ‘Die Hard’ For This Holiday Season

A non-Christmas Christmas movie – What is it? Well, it’s a movie that takes place during the Christmas season but its story isn’t actually about Christmas. The most common and well-known of these is Die Hard, which started the trend of movies being labeled as a Christmas movies by fans looking for taking place at Christmas time and still gets them in the holiday spirit.

So, without further ado, here are five non-Christmas Christmas movies for the family to enjoy this holiday season:

5. Gremlins

An 80s classic, Gremlins follows a father who buys an unusual present for his son from a shop in Chinatown. He is warned that the creature can be as menacing as it is cute, and that he must never expose it to bright light, water, or feed it after midnight. Inevitably, all of these rules are broken, which leads to a swarm of Gremlins causing mayhem around Kingston Falls on Christmas Eve. With its seasonal snow, music, carolers and toys, this horror comedy is a fun non-Christmas Christmas movie for the holidays.

Gremlins is available to stream on HBO Max.

4. Rise of the Guardians

This animated film has flown under the radar since its release in 2012, but is a great story to get the family in the Christmas spirit. Rise of the Guardians follows Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny and the Sandman, who enlist the help of Jack Frost to help stop the evil Pitch Black from casting darkness over the entire world. Not only is this a great team-up film set around the holidays, but it also stars Hugh Jackman, Alec Baldwin, Isla Fisher, Chris Pine and Jude Law as voice actors.

3. The Chronicles Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

As WWII rages on, the Pevensie children are evacuated from London to the English countryside where they take shelter at the home of Professor Kirke. During a game of hide-and-seek, Lucy Pevensie hides inside a wardrobe and discovers that it leads to the magical winter wonderland of Narnia, where she meets a friendly Faun named Mr. Tumnus. Eventually, all the Pevensies are transported to Narnia and embark on an adventure including talking Beavers, a White Witch, and Aslan, the talking Lion. Not only this, but the children even meet a gift-bearing Father Christmas, making this a great feel-good movie for the holidays.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is available to stream on Disney+.

2. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

There most likely aren’t many people who haven’t already read or seen the first installment in the Harry Potter series, but even so, it still deserves the number two spot on this list. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone follows an 11-year-old orphan living with his nasty aunt, uncle and cousin, who receives an invitation to enroll at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The film follows Harry as he delves into the unknown Wizarding World, attends school in a magical castle, and learns magic with his new friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Sorcerer’s Stone follows Harry throughout the school year, with a heart-warming Christmas scene where Harry gets Christmas presents for the first time, including his Cloak of Invisibility and a hand-knitted sweater from Mrs. Weasley.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is available to stream on HBO Max and Peacock.

1. Shazam!

Shazam! follows 14-year-old Billy Batson who, in the midst of searching for his birth mother, bounces from foster home to foster home. After being welcomed into the Vasquez home, Billy proves himself worthy and is chosen as Champion by a Wizard and imbued with the power of the gods when he says the word “Shazam.” Shazam! is a fun and light-hearted movie exploring what a teenager would do if given superpowers and put into an adult’s body. At its heart, Shazam! is a movie about family and takes place right around the holidays with Philadelphia having snow and Christmas lights galore.

Shazam! is available to stream on HBO Max and Hulu.

Eternals

The Eternals are a race of immortal beings who arrived on Earth 7000 years ago with the mission of stopping the Deviants from wiping out humanity. After completing this mission, the heroes split up to experience living normal lives among the humans they’ve protected. But when Deviants reemerge hundreds of years later in modern day, the Eternals must reunite to stop them.

First off, I just want to make it clear that Eternals is not a bad movie, and not nearly as bad as some people are making it out to be. It doesn’t deserve the hate it’s getting, nor to be the lowest rated Marvel movie (that should be reserved for Thor: The Dark World). Anyone who claims it was terrible or that they had to leave the theater during the movie is just overreacting and joining the hater’s bandwagon. Go and form your own opinion.

I think Chloé Zhao did a great job writing and directing the film. It’s not easy introducing ten new characters into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and making us bond with them in two and a half hours, but she did an admirable job. A big contribution to this was the ensemble cast really digging into their roles and making their characters unique. Each one complimented the film with their own flavor and personality. Well, all except for Angelina Jolie’s Thena, who turned out to be a major disappointment. She was supposedly an amazing warrior but was practically out of commission and acted like a robot the entire movie, which just seemed like a waste of the character. 

Something that was interesting was how the characters were integrated throughout human history. Since they arrived in 5000 BC, these characters have been present for most of human history, with their names being used in the stories we passed along for generations. Gilgamesh in the Epic of Gilgamesh, Thena in Greek mythology as the goddess of war Athena, Ikaris as the boy who flew too close to the Sun, and Sprite as the soda…

The special effects were very well done, and they did a great job showing (not telling) us each of the Eternals’ powers. Besides the visuals, Ramin Djawadi’s music score was great and added to the film’s emotional impact. While Eternals didn’t exactly feel like it fit in the MCU, the movie brought forth the same action, humor and emotion that the rest of the movies did, making it a solid movie worth seeing.

I understood some of the criticisms about the story, with some parts feeling a little weak. And the explanation for why the Eternals didn’t help the Avengers fight Thanos was that their mission was not to interfere in any human affairs unless Deviants were involved – also a little weak. But, at the end of the day what’s done is done, and I’m excited to see them team up with some of our other favorite Marvel characters in the future.


Overall, I enjoyed Eternals for what it was and would rate it 3 ½ / 5 stars. It didn’t exactly feel like a Marvel movie, but just a sci-fi/fantasy with an all-star cast. I wasn’t the biggest fan of how the film ended but am interested in seeing what implications it holds in regards to Phase 4 of the MCU.

Dune

This is only the beginning

After the noble House Atreides is assigned to protect the planet Arrakis, Paul must travel there with his family to ensure his house’s future. The planet’s desert sands supply Spice, one of the galaxy’s most valuable resources that makes space travel possible in addition to being a potent hallucinogen. But when political upheaval puts House Atreides in danger, Paul must face his fears and venture into the desert in search of the native blue-eyed Fremen that live there.

Dune has been on my to-read list for years, but I intentionally went into the movie blind. Of course, I knew some of the basics, like House Atreides going to the desert planet Arrakis and that the drug Spice makes people’s eyes blue. That was about it. I put off starting the book, or watching any of the past movies or the mini series because I wanted to see the movie with no preconceived notions. And I must say, I really enjoyed it. 

There is a reason Dune is a classic story. It has the familiar elements present in many other franchises about a boy with untapped power supposedly being “The One” getting betrayed and having barely escaped with his life, must rally to get his revenge. Some may think of it as cliche but I think of it as evergreen. There’s just something about routing for the underdog that resonates with me.

Some criticisms of the movie were that it was slow. I disagree and think director and co-writer Denis Villeneuve, in addition to Eric Roth and Jon Spaihts, did a fantastic job building the world and adapting the story in a meaningful way. In building the world, the movie featured amazing shots of the landscapes in addition to the flawless CGI ships, shields and giant sand worms.This shouldn’t come as a surprise, however, given Villeneuve’s masterful work on Blade Runner: 2049 and Arrival.

The movie had an all-star cast, all of whom did a stand-up job. Again, this was my first impression of the characters, but everyone seemed well-cast and fit their roles well.

Recently, Dune Part 2 was confirmed by Legendary Entertainment. My biggest question is why wasn’t Part 2 already in the works? Apparently, Villeneuve was just waiting for the green light from Warner Bros., who were waiting to see how the film performed at the box office and on HBO Max. I mean, this is one of the biggest movie releases of the year. Of course it did well. Now, Part 2 will not be released until Oct. 2023, two years from now. That just seems like a big mistake, given where Part 1 ended just left me unsatisfied. And now we have to wait another two years before continuing the story.

I guess at the end of the day, all that matters is that Villeneuve keeps doing what he is doing and tells the complete story. Overall, I was really impressed with Dune and would rate it 4 ½ / 5 stars. Given this was my first experience with the franchise, I’m a fan, and am now even more excited to read the book. And it looks like I’ll have plenty of time before Part 2 releases.


Dune is now available to see in theaters or to stream on HBO Max.


The Last Duel

The Last Duel (2021) - IMDb

In medieval France, Sir Jean de Carrouges (Matt Damon) challenges Jacques Le Gris (Adam Driver), his former friend, to a duel after his wife, Marguerite (Jodie Comer), accuses him of intruding into their home and raping her.

Having directed movies such as Alien, Blade Runner, The Martian and Gladiator, Ridley Scott has taken on a new challenge – a medieval Me Too story. And I thought he did a fantastic job with it by showing how the concept of “the truth” is actually subjective when viewed from each character’s perspective.

The movie was written by Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Nicole Holofcener, each writing their own version of the story so it could be told from three different perspectives – Chapter One from Jean de Carrouges’ perspective, chapter two from Jacques Le Gris’ perspective and chapter three, emphasized as the actual true story, from Marguerite’s perspective. The writing did a great job showing the subtle differences in each character’s perspective, even while the main events remained the same. This movie is actually the first writing collaboration between Matt Damon and Ben Affleck since Good Will Hunting was released nearly 25 years ago.

Even with the storytelling, the best part of the film was undeniably the duel at the end between Jean de Carrouges and Jacques Le Gris. That is what everything led up to and it was brutal. The two began on horseback jousting and I thought this was done well. The duel really picked up, though, when one was knocked from their horse and the fight was taken to ground-level. The Last Duel wasn’t jam-packed with action, but the action that it did have was done exceptionally well. Researching after seeing the movie, it turns out that this duel was actually the last legal and judicial duel in France.

Something that amazed me was seeing how far we have come as a society. At the time the movie takes place, rape was considered a property crime against the victim’s husband. It was also very common and almost an accepted way of life back then. In most cases, women wouldn’t of had the political influence to bring attention to the crime and, as portrayed in the film, even when they did, they put themselves at risk of being burned at the stake if the court deemed them to be lying.

Comer was the standout here with her acting bringing the film to another level. She did a fantastic job with her portrayal of Marguerite and with the slight differences in her character in each of the three versions of the story. A slight smile or a glint in her eye gave each scene a completely different context. Similarly, Adam Driver also did a great job and it’s nice to see him continue to expand his range as an actor.

Overall, I liked The Last Duel. It wasn’t by any means my favorite movie this year but I thought it was well done and definitely worth watching. Between the creative storytelling, the all-star cast and the fact that this event was based on a true story, I’d rate the movie 3 ½ out of 5 stars and if you’re on the fence, would recommend going ahead and giving it a shot.

No Time To Die

★★★★☆

No Time to Die (2021) - IMDb

The final chapter in Daniel Craig’s saga as 007, No Time To Die picked up right after the events in Spectre with Bond and Madeleine Swan (Léa Seydoux) taking a well-deserved vacation. Turns out, they were going to the city where Vesper Lynd, Bond’s first love, was buried so he could say goodbye and move on with his life. But, even after putting Blofeld (Christoph Waltz) behind bars, Spectre still tracked them down. And James, thinking the only possible way was that Madeleine betrayed him, put her on a train and vanished. That is, until his old friend Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright) seeks him out to help put a stop to a new mysterious villain wielding a dangerous weapon.

No Time To Die was a satisfying end to Craig’s Bond, whom we come to know over the past 15 years and five movies. This movie marks the 25th of the franchise and, sticking to Bond-fashion, there were plenty of beautiful Aston Martins, which gave new meaning to the term “bullet-proof,” daring stunts, women and action…lots of action.

After hearing about Spectre, Bond resurfaces and is introduced to Nomi (Lashana Lynch), his replacement as the new 007. The two had a fun rivalry throughout the film and it’ll be interesting to see where her 007 is taken in the future. The movie also introduced Ana de Armas as Paloma, an energetic new CIA agent with three weeks’ training, who I thought added a fun element to the usually serious tone of the films. Apparently, after working together on Knives Out, Craig hand-picked Armas for her role in No Time To Die.

Acting as a proper send off to the character, the film included homages such as an old school Aston Martin decked out with numerous gadgets, a plane that transformed into an submarine, martinis shaken not stirred and the classic turn-and-shoot. The movie also featured beautiful cinematography and scenic shots of Jamaica, Norway and Matera in Southern Italy.

The movie was directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga (Beasts of No Nation, It (2017)). It was also co-written by Fukunaga with Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, who wrote for Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and Spectre together. The newest addition to the writer’s room was Phoebe Waller-Bridge whose résumé includes contributions to Fleabag and Killing Eve.

The story felt very Bond-y leaning the scale toward cliche. The diabolical villain uses a weapon that targets a specific DNA strand to get revenge on those who’ve wronged them. But what is Bond if not cliche? While Rami Malik’s character, Lyutsifer Safin, was introduced as a calmly menacing villain, he didn’t live up to my expectations as Bond’s final foe. In fact, it felt like he barely had any screen time in the almost three hour movie. Certainly not enough to build up the villain from mediocre to memorable. Safin had the look of a great villain, but his motivation and connection to Madeleine seemed too flimsy. Comparing him to Blofeld in the previous movie or even Javier Bardem’s Silva from Skyfall, the villains are in completely different leagues.


No Time To Die was a satisfying conclusion to Craig’s career as James Bond. It was everything a Bond film should be and was enjoyable to watch all the way through. After Spectre, the series felt like it really needed this movie to tie everything up and complete the story, and that is exactly what it did.

Warrior

★★★★☆

The best way I can describe Warrior is as a kung-fu Western. The show revolves around San Francisco’s Tong Wars during the late 1870s, and the inner workings of Chinatown’s gangs at war with each other and a city that hates them.

Warrior follows Ah Sahm (Andrew Koji), a Chinese martial arts prodigy who immigrated to San Francisco in search of his sister. After proving he can fight, he becomes a hatchetman for the Hop Wei, one of Chinatown’s most powerful crime families, only to discover his sister (Dianne Doan) is married to the leader of the Long Zii, an opposing gang. 

Warrior was based on the writings of Bruce Lee and is executive produced by his daughter, Shannon Lee. The series has Jonathan Tropper, known for his work on Banshee, This Is Where I Leave You, and See, as showrunner. The show first aired on Cinemax and was canceled after its second season, only to be saved by HBO Max.

Andrew Koji in Warrior (2019)

The strongest point of this series was the fight scenes, which started off great and only got better as the show progressed.  It also did a great job establishing the setting of San Francisco in the late 1800s and the tension between the groups of people. The racism Chinese people had to endure during this time really surprised me. When we learn about racism, it was mostly centered on African Americans’ struggle, but as presented in the show, they were far from the only people to be discriminated against. Despite this, getting to see Ah Sahm knock some racists on their butts was definitely satisfying.

I will admit the first season started off a little slow. This is understandable given the need to establish all the different factions and characters. But once that was done and the story got rolling, I really enjoyed it. One thing to also mention is that this show is extremely mature, with bloody fights, drugs and nudity.

 
I don’t hear much about this show but it was surprisingly good. Overall, I’d rate it 4/5 stars. If you’re looking for something new and are a fan of martial arts movies, I’d recommended giving it a shot. The first two seasons of Warrior are available to stream on HBO Max and you can watch the first episode free on HBO Max’s YouTube channel. Unfortunately, showrunner Jonathan Tropper said we won’t expect season 3 until 2023, but even so, Warrior is worth the watch.

Free Guy

Don’t have a good day. Have a great day.

Guy (Ryan Reynolds) is an NPC living in Free City, a violent and beloved video game. Everyday he wakes up, gets coffee, and goes to work at the bank where he is constantly getting robbed. While he enjoys his life, he still feels like something is missing. But when Guy sees the girl of his dreams, he decides to change things up and become the hero of the story.

I actually loved Free Guy and enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. The humor was spot on, as usual with Ryan Reynolds, and had me giggling throughout the entire film. The story was surprisingly good, mixing a good blend of humor and emotion. 

All the actors did a great job in their respective roles – Guy as the innocent good-hearted hero, Buddy (Lil Rel Howery) as his supportive friend, Millie (Jodie Comer) as the badass dream girl, and Keys (Joe Keery) as the coder on the path of redemption. Even Taika Waititi as the villain was done well, bringing a combination of both funny and menacing to the table.

While Free Guy did seem to draw some inspiration from other stories, I thought it provided a unique twist. It reminded me of a good mix bringing in elements from Ready Player One and The Truman Show, both of which are movies I love, along with tons of other cameos and movie references.

I thought for a video game, Free City was a little too over the top. Obviously this was intentional to emphasize that Guy was living in a video game, but whenever he put on the glasses, the world was way too flashy with way too many pop ups. Again, I think this was to emphasize the difference between the real world and Free City, but as a gamer, this didn’t look like a real video game.

I really enjoyed Free Guy and rate it 4 ½ / 5 stars. Maybe there was just a bad taste in my mouth after The Green Knight, but Free Guy was a pleasant surprise and I’d definitely recommend going to see it instead.

The Suicide Squad

The Suicide Squad was a hilarious and wacky adventure following some of DC’s lamest and most expendable villains. Gunn’s movie is unique in that it lies somewhere between a sequel and a reboot, with all the characters from the 2016 Suicide Squad being played by the same actors in the newer film. 

Following the disappointment of the 2016 film, I thought James Gunn’s 2021 reboot knocked it out of the park. I have no doubt that The Suicide Squad will be more successful, not only due to its unique characters played by an ensemble cast, but because Gunn’s style of humor is a perfect fit for a movie like this.

The 2016 film suffered from being too dark and serious, which is something that may work for Batman but not for wacky C-list villains. Gunn’s movie has a solid story and knows exactly what it wants to be, taking pride in not taking itself too seriously.

I enjoyed getting to see a good number of DC characters make their debut on the big screen. Villains like Peacemaker, Polka-Dot Man, Ratcatcher 2 and T.D.K. may never have made it due to the fact that they were too lame. In Gunn’s case, the lamer, the better. Another character I enjoyed seeing for the first time was Starro, who I thought was created and portrayed well. After talking with others though, I have to agree his motivation was weak. He said he would have been happy just floating in space, so why didn’t he just fly away after he broke free?

I also enjoyed John Cena’s Peacemaker much more than I thought I would. With the character’s dry humor and ironic motivation, (“I cherish peace with all my heart. I don’t care how many men, women, and children I need to kill to get it.”) he had me cracking up the entire movie. Which is good because of all the characters in The Suicide Squad, he is the character who is getting his own HBO Max show, which Gunn recently said in an interview with ET would have “more action scenes than in any superhero show ever.”


Overall, I enjoyed Gunn’s refreshing take The Suicide Squad and rate it 4/5 stars. Whether you’re a superhero fan, or someone looking for a fun movie filled with action and some emotion, I’d recommend checking this movie out. Plus, it’s available for streaming on HBO Max, so you could enjoy it from the comfort of your home.
