Movie and TV show reviews

Back in January, I learned that Disney Branded Television greenlit a pilot for an exciting new show. I, as a fan, can’t wait to see it! The talented Alina Mankin is taking on the role of writer and executive producer, while Liz Phang steps up as showrunner and executive producer. This adaptation of Louis Sachar’s 1998 novel, Holes, offers a fresh perspective by focusing on a teenage girl instead of the original character, Stanley Yelnats. In this version, our protagonist finds herself in a detention camp where the ruthless Warden makes the campers dig holes for some mysterious purpose. I can hardly contain my excitement to see how this story unfolds!

Levi shared that he found tranquility since he recognized the significance outweighed his career’s preservation. He believes people tend to get trapped in patterns of self-protection, which isn’t beneficial. We should strive for wisdom, survival, and prosperity, but not let fear of personal harm dictate our decisions. Sometimes, you have to make sacrifices.”

“Levi expressed that he felt calm because what was at stake mattered more than his career’s safety. He feels people often get stuck in self-protection modes, which isn’t healthy. We should aim for wisdom, survival, and growth, but not base our decisions solely on avoiding harm. At times, you need to make sacrifices.

In “The Safe House,” Boltanski’s family is a source of inspiration for the script, but their identities are concealed and certain aspects of the plot are slightly altered. The main theme remains consistent: a narrative set in the periphery of one of France’s significant modern protests. Initially, the story seems to be told from the perspective of a nine-year-old boy (Ethan Chimienti), who represents Boltanski himself. However, contrary to this initial impression, the film frequently strays from the child’s viewpoint, preferring a more fragmented narrative structure that doesn’t fully capture the family’s overall dynamics, even with Ethan’s energetic performance.

As a cinephile, I found it intriguing, reflecting on the turn of events and the responses they sparked. It’s fascinating how I was denied the chance to feel let down by a result that I truly believed I deserved.

Bacon takes on the role of Hub Halloran, a bounty hunter brought back by the Devil to capture demons that have broken free from hell.

In a groundbreaking move, I, a devoted Bond movie enthusiast, find myself awestruck by the news that Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, the visionaries behind Eon Productions and guardians of all things Bond, have partnered with a streaming titan. This partnership signifies a shift in creative control of the iconic franchise. The revelation, dropped when the series was at a standstill, has sent shockwaves through Tinseltown, where the Broccoli family’s association with 007 is almost as closely linked to Ian Fleming, the series’ creator, as breath and air to life.
