Glass (2019)
Glass (2019) - Quick Movie Review
Director: M. Night Shyamalan
Release Date: January 18th, 2019 (US)
Runtime: 2hrs 9mins
Pros:
Solid first act -
Shyamalan's directing -
Excellent performances from Willis, McAvoy & Jackson -
Kevin's expanded multi-personality presentation
Suspenseful action
Sleek choreography
West Dylan Thordson's slowburn music
Cons:
Jumbled final act -
David Dunn's minor appearance in the last hour -
Twist lacks surprise -
Annt-climatic final battle -
Short Thoughts:
A someone who's not been favourable the Shyamalan over the past years, his latest work, Glass, did not leave me in baffling disappointment like Split, although I wasn't really anticipating this movie much. It honestly has a highly solid first hour with great directing, acting and action, but as the film progresses to the second and last hour, the storytelling loses it's balance and chance of giving a certain character more depth. But overall, not as bad as expect but nowhere to be named an ultimate redemption for the director.

My Little Pony: The Movie (2017)
My Little Pony: The Movie (2017) - Quick Movie Review

Release Date: October 6th, 2017 (US)
Runtime: 1hr 39mins
Pros:
Does the original TV show justice -
Feels more than an extended episode -
Triumphant 2D animation -
Beautiful looking visuals -
Some 3D visuals blended well -
Mane Six bring fun -
Emily Blunt's developed villian -
Top notch original voice acting -

Cons:
Formulaic as expected -

Rushed climax -
Additional characters didn't hold up memorable value -
Liev Schreiber's generic character
Short Thoughts:
It's hard for a cartoon show like MLP: FiM to have a movie that can impress those who aren't familiar with them. At least this tried. Of course, it'll delight it's fans but in short, it's a 'giddy-up' for fans but a 'woah' for others. But honestly, if I wasn't familiar with the show, I wouldn't be as favourable as I am with this colourful decency.

Short thoughts:
Star Wars: The Last Jedi takes a bold and risky direction in the new era of the galaxy far, far away leaving me with no idea what will happen next in Episode IX. At the same time though, it brings more memorable highlights, fantastic looks and continuing to grow characters old and new. It was a jaw-dropping experience.
