Here is your chance to get a little insight on which film or TV Show you may be keen on seeing or which film or TV Show you may want to miss altogether.
These are Reel Ree:views here, keeping it concrete and reel...and somewhat, unbiased...well as much as possible, that is!
It goes without saying: you either know about this show or you don't. You either love it or you hate it. Atlanta is a show where you would need to persist with it, if at first you do not understand it. If you persist longer than you would normally dare and you are still not getting it, then the show is lost on you. Atlanta has a style to it that, dare I say clever and intelligent, but the satirical wit is something that will not take to everybody. If you don't laugh your head off at the invisible car scene, even when the set up was there earlier in the episode, then...I don't know what to tell you.
I feel like we have been waiting in what feels like forever. With the pandemic and such, that has delayed a lot of movies and shows across the board. The last season was 2019, maybe? Well, that's when I watched it last. And ALL THESE ACTORS have blown up since now to be demanding more money than what they were asking when they did the first season. Paper Boi is being led by his cousin Ernest to Europe accompanied by his friend Darius and Ernest's girlfriend Vanessa. I can only assume it's going to be crazy funny, especially with the difference in language and the behaviour of Europeans and/or how they act towards Americans. Finally! Hopefully we get another trailer!

I was going to watch this movie yesterday, but I got distracted. So I watched it today on the trusty ol' Disney Plus and whilst I didn't much care for the movie when it was advertised and when trailers came out, upon hearing how good it was and/or charming, it's December 29th 2021. It's like 12:00pm, what else am I going to do? So of course, I watched it. Was the film as good as people have said it was. Ummm, yeah.
Encanto is about a woman who is blessed with a magical house when she loses her partner. Left alone with 3 children to raise, she eventually raise these three children in this magical house and when the children become of age, a door within the magical house is presented and if chosen, you are imbued with magical talents. This is then seen to be passed down through generations and generations however, when Mirabel Madrigal (Stephanie Beatriz) is not granted any powers, she tries to find a way to simply live with being different in her family, but with the pressure of not being special like the rest of her siblings and family, she goes on a quest to search and try and find what her real purpose is.
I loved this movie. The ending, I felt was a little weak and I didn't really understand it, but other than that, I loved the meaning/story behind this movie. In a lot of families and likely more prevalent in families of people of colour, there is a pressure, unspoken or even spoken to please or perform. A pressure to be or do what family see you as not allowing you to be your own person. These pressures can make or break people and in some or many cases, cast you aside from your family due to arguments or the butting of heads leading family members no longer talking/communicating. These are very real themes and Disney touches on these themes with majesty.
At first, I thought there was going to be some kind of death and Disney was going to pull on my heart strings that way because they are always killing off a parent or something like that, but the formula on this one is different and touches you in a different way. The animation was by far, the best animated photorealistic animation I have ever scene so far and although the magical house seemed a little crazy at first, I settled into it and really enjoyed it for what it was, along with the music numbers. Whilst there was only one song that didn't really work with me, there was another song that was (I believe in Spanish) that was great. I loved it. I loved what it was saying any it touched me in a way that warmed my heart.
Whilst not aimed at my demographic, the film has a general appeal to adults and well as children who are yet to make choices in their life as they are not sure where they are going or know where they are going but feel a type of way due to family and what they bring to the table under "duress" in some cases. This film was funny! The voice acting was great and the storytelling was soo spot on. One of my favourite characters was a character who could hear everything including over long distances. The way they used this character was amazing and was very accurate (in my opinion) to the portrayal of people with her ability. I also loved the interaction between Dolores Madrigal and one of her cousins and the way she would react towards them. The film was a great watch and uplifting as well sad in some places. A nice watch between time if you want something to watch which is fun and enjoyable. It's also on Disney Plus.
I'm not sure if I've said this here before, but I have about 6 favourite comic book characters. Six. I have various reasons as to why I like them. Some could be because of their strength, some could be down to their enemies or "how old" they are, some are just because they are just super cool. So, for Strength, Superman and The Incredible Hulk, because of their Enemies and their Age, Spider-Man and Wolverine, because of how cool they are...Batman. He is rich, very intelligent and he fights incredible well and had lots of gadgets. How about, this trailer, not only showing us practically ALL OF THE MOVIE, but showcasing a Year Two Batman up against The Riddler and maybe Catwoman?
This trailer is great. Imagine, I had to rewind the trailer several times before I could even complete it because of Batman and his coolness. Matt Reeves had managed to make this Batman look, sound and move cool. The fighting. The jumping off of high buildings. I mean, the first half of the trailer was simply showcasing the Batmobile. The was a part in the trailer where the Batmobile drives THROUGH A CONCRETE TUBE, but whatever man, if anyone can, The Batman can and I LOVED IT! There are some stunning visuals and camera work here. Matt Reeves is really showing us what kind of Director he is...like the last few Apes movies didn't tell us enough...damn.

You might feel as though (if you are a DC fan) that Marvel are cheating! It may seem like DC stated they will do Multiverse stuff and then Disney came along and did it before them. There always seems to be some rivalry between fans when really, you can like them both. It's really ok. Having seen Spider-Man: No Way Home and the threat of of the Multiverse or a Multiverse collapse, this trailer seems to go straight into what the Multiverse of Madness really is and it looks GREAT!!!
Confirmed characters, America Chavez, The Scarlett Witch, Baron Mordo and of course, Doctor Strange. There have been Rumours of a Shuma Gorath turning up and the creature in the street, apparently isn't him, so it would be interesting to find out who that is and whobthe big bad is because there is a legit reason to believe, Wanda is. The poster and this teaser is great, plus is this a Marvel's What If crossover?
Halo has been rumoured for possibly, a decade by now. I mean the film Elysium came out in August 2013 and I'm pretty sure, at least 3-4 years before then, they have been talking about a Halo movie. You see, Halo is based on a video game starring a character called John, number 117 but better known as Master Chief. There is all types of lore and background and such and maybe we will get into that in this series, but seeing lots of short films, fan films and the graphics for the Halo games, this HAD TO BE a movie at some point. Alas, they have decided to make this into a series.
The reason why this has taken soo long, well...it is more about money, politics and the environment of video games made into movies. Only recently, video games have caught traction and those behind movies and series (just like the comic book genre) are starting to under how they can deliver narrative from a video game (just like how it's taken years to do that with comic book stories) so having Halo as a series now, is a big deal!
Judging from this trailer, this looks good. I mentioned Elysium because when I watched that movie back in the day, it reminded me of Halo in a way and I'm guessing, because that movies wasn't well received, made Halo wait even longer, but with such shows like The Witcher, Game of Thrones and such, hopefully... hopefully this TV series by Paramount does well as the story of Halo is great and seeing the Master Chief in this trailer was cool. I think we just need to see some Grunts and Brutes as well as characters like The Arbiter. Yoooo, can we have Keith David still? Such a great voice actor.
Wait, what? Whilst we have just over a week, if that for this movie and trailers after trailers are being released, what the actual hell is going on here?
This clip seems as though the movie will be sooo trippy and (maybe) soo confusing, it will takes days, months or even years to break down, like the first movie did. No more running to phonebooths or a phone line so now we have moving portals? Then the Morpheus talking to Neo whilst Morpheus is talking to Neo in the background on the screen is trippy enough. Wild! As trippy as this film might now be, I hope it doesn't lose people like how Tenet lost a lot of people.
I watched the first movie (not when it came out, but eventually) and to my surprise, I actually enjoyed it, so when they mentioned they will be doing a Sonic 2, I was surprised but delighted. I mean, why would I not want to watch a movie based off of a video game that was a nice watch. Charming, funny and...well, Jim Carey. A few months down the line, they even announced Idris Elba and considering his voicework for Sher Khan in Disney's "Live Action" Jungle Book, I could only assume this sequel would equally be great.
This trailer is alright and it looks like they are sticking to the charm of what made the first one good and upping the ante with Tails added and Knuckles. It looks like they might also be taking a few liberties with the Knuckles character, but if the fan are cool with it, then I'm sure it will be fine. It's funny I just said that, because, the fans were not cool with the initial look of Sonic and the studio changed it up to look more accurate and with that, you got a more visually appealing Sonic and a decent story. It does make me think. that other atrocities they were planning for the movie before the redesigning of the Hedgehog. Let's see another trailer with More Knuckles though, that would be great.
Ok, the last one was, I guess, what they would call a TV Spot, so having this one confirmed as Trailer 2 makes a lot of sense, but damn is this trailer PACKED!!!
Whilst we are likely getting a little bit of the story now, Neo is reawoken in the Matrix but this time he remembers the previous Matrix and now he has to protect/save/help Trinity? Who knows at this point, but if there is something we CAN take away from this trailer as well as the movie when it comes out, is the cinematography. This film looks amazing! Also frantic? Frenetic? This movie looks like it's carrying a lot of energy in a good way, but I'm just hoping it isn't all sounds, visuals and no story. Oooh and Jessica Henwick is absolutely killing it!

First off, Wow!!! I was not expecting this and soo soon! I remember there was an announcement mentioning the movie and I'm not sure when it would be released from when they initially said but damn, this looks great!
If you didn't watch the first movie, you are honestly missing out. I understand that Spider-Man seems to be a constant. There is always talks about him, he is always around, there is always a film, how many different Spider-Man actors are there? But whilst that question might get answered in the new Spider-Man movie due out soon by Sony in collaboration with Disney/Marvel (MCU), Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse was such a great movie and this 'First Look' looks like it will also be just as great! The animation, the drawing and contrasting drawing styles, wow...just wow. Miles looks older right? This is just looking Amazing soo far.
It is definitely safe to say, I WILL BE WATCHING THIS IMMEDIATELY! "A grenade blows up like, two people", "Eat peace mother-boom". As bonkers as Peacemaker is and was in The Suicide Squad movie, this series seems to want to take him and his antics further, deeper and funnier!
This trailer is great. I had tears welling up in my eyes from the he sheer hilarity of it all. There are soo many conversational pieces that are funny. Soo many visuals that are funny. That shot of all of them slo-mo walking in true Superhero Comic Book and also Action Movie fashion WITH THE AMERICA BALD EAGLE, come on! It's ridiculous, but I love it! Even the Tighty-Whities shot diving out the window is ridiculously hilarious...like, who gets an angled shot like that? James Gunn!

I loved the first Matrix films! Maybe not soo much the third one, although I loved the gravity of the story, but the execution kind of lost me. The second one was good and I loved all these new abilities Neo had but ultimately, it was a franchise that didn't finish off well. However the last trailer had me hyped and then to now release this Déjà Vu trailer inter-cutting previous Matrix footage and movements, if you tell me you are not gassed (excited) about this trailer and the execution of it, there is something wrong with the Matrix and you need to be plugged back in.
This trailer is just excellent for those who have and haven't seen the original Trilogy. It harkens back to the old trilogy so if you haven't seen it, it should entice you to see it before this one. And if you have seen it, it should excite you to watch this new one as the special effects have come a long way since the first few movies and with an optimistic view that this movie will be incredible (plugging ourselves back into The Matrix), this may actually spark another trilogy if it can musta a great storyline, there is a very high possibility we will enjoy...only if it sticks the landing...and I hope it does. What an excellent way to "reboot" the franchise too...a glitch...in The Matrix. Genius!
