Christmas Thieves (2021)

The Worst Christmas Movie in Recent Years

[1/10 · 20 December 2021]

You'd thought "A Loud House Christmas" and "Home Sweet Home Alone" were trainwrecks, then you clearly haven't seen this mess

Tom Arnold and Michael Madsen are the thieves who pretend to be The Grinch by stealing Christmas presents and trees, but they babysit two kids by telling stories with the Arctic Dogs characters

It's dull, it's stupid, and unfunny, and the Arctic Dogs scenes were pointless, it's like you'd slapped in characters from Big City Greens into certain scenes into Parasite to brighten up the mood of that film.

Horrid Henry: The Movie (2011)

Not Good, but Harmless

[5/10 · 12 March 2021]

It maybe a horrid kids movie, but at the same time(as I'm kind of a fan of the show), it's a harmless movie that has nothing groundbreaking or powerful.

Horrid Henry the Movie can be best described as "Mediocre at Best, Bad at Worst"

Raya and the Last Dragon (2021)

A Brilliant Addition to the Disney Family

[10/10 · 9 March 2021]

"Disney has hit another home run with this latest animated masterpiece and with very good reason despite having the same formula as their previous films, Raya and the Last Dragon is among the ranks of Zootopia, Fantasia, Tangled, Pinocchio, and Beauty and the Beast as among one of the studio's very best movies, and here's why?

The story is very, very strong that's well told and action packed, on top of some heartfelt and emotional moments throughout

The animation is just breathtaking, I've never seen such brilliant visuals in a Disney movie this amazing in a very long time

The characters are just unforgettable and strongly memorable, with the lead, Raya played by Kelly Marie Tran, she's easily going to be a symbol for not just the Disney Princess franchise as she's so amazing as a main character, but also for the Disney theme parks within the next five-ten years, Sisu is the funniest Disney character since Aladdin's Genie, she's just hilarious every time she's on screen and Awkwafina did a brilliant job voicing the dragon, turned human, Tuk Tuk is such a cute animal sidekick, and the rest are easily as amazing as the two leads

On top of a brilliant musical score composed by James Newton Howard, who scored some great music for previous Disney movies, but this is his best Disney score yet, it's so powerful and effective

Overall, Raya and the Last Dragon is easily not just the best movie to come out in theaters during the pandemic era, but also one of the best films from Walt Disney Animation Studios, and will be remembered as a masterpiece that's a modern day classic right alongside Soul and even the likes of 1917, Parasite, Knives Out, Paddington 2, Black Panther, and Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse.

So please by any means necessary, if there's a movie theater open near you, support your local movie theater and go see this latest Disney masterpiece, you won't be disappointed you will love every single minute of it, it was one heck of an experience

Soul (2020)

Pixar's Best Film In Years, Worthy of a Best Picture Nominee

[10/10 · 28 December 2020]

What a crazy and frustrating year it has been, since a global pandemic has ruined everyone's lives, riots kept on happening, and bad movies like The War with Grandpa and Artemis Fowl premiered to highly negative responses(including me)

But this film(although sadly not in the same tradition of what Pixar's previous 22 movies have), Soul might had made this awful year more meaningful, which is now playing on Disney+(instead of theaters, but I didn't care), and is without a doubt the year's best movie, Pixar's best since Inside Out, and worthy of being nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture(since it'll be a huge crime and very guilty if it doesn't get a Best Picture nod)

That has a strong and soulful story that has a bold and powerful message, on top of some hilarious bits to brighten up the mood, the animation is Pixar's most creative yet, and the characters are so lovable that they'll be remembered for years(with 22 being Pixar's funniest character since Dory from Finding Nemo), on top of a great score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross that should go for the Oscar

Overall, to Disney+ users, go watch this movie no matter what

Little Einsteins (2005–2010)

Makes Dora the Explorer look like The Owl House

[2/10 · 13 July 2020]

This is obviously for the six and under set, with forgettable stories, characters that are kind of annoying, and overall boring
