Paramount Pictures, Broadway Video Age Certificate: 12 IMDb: 5.6/10 Rotten Tomatoes: 69/100 Plot Cady Heron is a hit with the Plastics, an A-list girl clique at her new school. But everything changes when she makes the mistake of falling for Aaron Samuels, the ex-boyfriend of alpha Plastic Regina George. Review Before going into this film, I had only watched the teaser trailer and that was it. I was oblivious to the fact that this was going to be a musical adaptation of the classic film 'Mean Girls' (2004). I came to the realisation only 2 minutes into the film which already opened with its first musical score. I assumed it was going to be a direct sequel but instead I was shown a recreation of the original film with music. The film, on its own, can be deemed as comedic; even for those who have not seen Mean Girls before. However, a lot of the iconic lines fell flat; the original cast did satire a lot better, especially when woke culture, 20 years ago, wa...

FILM RECOMMENDATIONS: SUPERHERO (1978-2018)

Warner Bros. Pictures Age Certificate: 12 IMDb: 7.5/10 Rotten Tomatoes: 71/100 Plot The Dark Knight of Gotham City begins his war on crime with his first major enemy being Jack Napier, a criminal who becomes the clownishly homicidal Joker. Review One of the best superhero films of the decade; when it was first announced that Michael Keaton will play the dark crusader, the audience were not convinced that a comedian could portray a dark vigilante such as Batman. Yet, Keaton steps in the role of Batman, regardless of the audience's initial response to him, and delivers one of the best Batman performances in film history. But what gave the film its positive reviews was Jack Nicholson who took on the role of the iconic villain, the Joker. Nicholson is considered one the best actors of our generation, coming from the film 'The Shining (1980)', it was already evident that Nicholson was fit to play another villain such as the Joker. This film was the reason why I lo...

'DEADPOOL 2' (2018) REVIEW

Image
In my opinion, the first film was really good but I think I went in to the movie theatre without knowing much about Deadpool or Ryan Reynolds. I was expecting something like the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). I knew that he was a comedic character and an anti-hero but I was still expecting a typical Marvel film. I did find it funny but there were many references and funny moments I did not understand when I first watched it because they were mainly about Green Lantern and the 2009's Deadpool which I did not know much about like the negative reviews it received so the jokes about Ryan's previous characters were not as humorous to me as they were to other people. However, I did go in to the sequel knowing everything I need to know about Deadpool and the film was hilarious. The film exceeded my expectations. It was hilarious from beginning till end. There were references to the 80's so you might want to know a few things about the 80's in term...
