From the World of John Wick: Ballerina — “A Silent Pirouette”
It’s been almost two years since audiences last stepped into the John Wick universe, and lemme tell alyuh something — Ballerina have some rell bad action scenes. It’s the first major spin-off from the series, starring Ana de Armas as Eve Macarro, an assassin on a quiet but deadly quest for revenge.
The film leans more into style than substance — which isn’t necessarily a bad thing — but if you're looking for deep storytelling or major lore expansion, you might feel a little underwhelmed.
TLOU Season 2 Review: Why The Last of Us May Not See the Rest of Us.
The Last of Us Part II was a game surrounded by a lot of controversy. I’ll assume most of you have already played the game, but I’ll still do my best to avoid spoilers. It’s a story filled with intense hate, anger, violence, and more. When the game was first released, many people complained about the heavy and nihilistic tone and were confused by the message the developers were trying to convey.
Sinners: A Movie That Flirts with Perfection.
Eh fellas, this one is for allyuh. Good Friday kicked off a nice long weekend, so I figured it was the perfect time to check out Sinners. Sinners is the latest offering from Ryan Coogler, who first achieved notoriety with his movie Fruitvale Station. That film also marked the beginning of his long-running collaboration with Michael B. Jordan, who starred in Fruitvale and has since appeared in most of Coogler's projects. He’s back again in Sinners, taking on a double role as twin brothers Smoke and Stack—a bold move that adds another layer of intensity to the film. And ladies, let’s be real—two Michael B. Jordans? That’s double the temptation. Sheesh!
