'IT' is not good!

‘IT’ is the latest Stephen King adaptation into the big screen. And it is a huge hit. Such a big hit, that it required me to break my rule of not going to the Cinema!
However, like my every other visit to the Cinema, disappointment followed me. The movie is not unwatchable bad. It is good, but not great. It is by no means the best horror movie which certain people are claiming it to be!
The movie focuses on children. Children, who are as the movie calls them losers. These losers form a group called the loser club. The story begins with one of the members of the loser club’s member Bill losing his young brother Georgie to IT. The loss of Georgie creates will for Bill to search for IT. That there is basically the story for you. The film then follows all the tropes of a horror and coming of age movies that you are so used to seeing! The losers are bullied, there is a fat kid, the losers are not good with girls and they somehow get a girl member, whom they find beautiful. We have seen all those plot devices being used in movies way before IT. The movie does nothing new to present itself.
One thing did found good about the movie was the acting. The kids in this movie were really good. And the sad thing is none of these kids will get to be in the sequel, barring a few flashback scenes. Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise was also good. But, most of Pennywise’s scenes were CGI, so he had not much to do. Until the final act.

In all, by no means is IT a bad movie. It is just not as good as the hype says it is. Hence, be prepared when you go to see the movie! Maybe the book was better? I guess I will find out when I finish reading IT.

Spiderman: Homerun

The third reboot of the Spiderman franchise is old news. So is the fact that it was a huge success, but I only got to watch it tonight, Now that I am done watching it, I am going to talk about it. Spiderman homecoming is a good movie. It has a simple story, stellar cast and a director who knows what he is doing. At its core, Spiderman homecoming is a simple coming of age teen flick. And that is what makes Homecoming so good! The movie has very little faults, so let’s get them out of the way first. It lacked action and the soundtrack was average. Done these are my gripes with the movie. Now let’s talk about the good stuff. The movie really fleshes out the characters . Supporting characters like Ned get a lot more screen time then they did on Spiderman’s last outing. Tom Holland is perfectly cast as the web-slinger and for me, he rivals Toby for the best Actor to portray Spidey! For the first time, Spiderman is an actual teen! He has school to deal with and his aunt is not hi...

Here we go again!

Hey all! I know that the blog has been literal dead over the past few months, but I have a reason for that. Well let's get into it then, I started the blog with the simple intention of letting people know what I see, use and love! To my surprise, the blog even became quite the hit. Ever since my first post on Baby Driver, I have never looked back. However, I bailed on it right when it was growing at a staggering rate. I stopped posting on the blog and its popularity plummeted. Now I will have to roll my sleeves up and start again. I know I have messed it up and chances are that the blog will never reach its glory days. I guess I will have to try to figure it out, so I had to stop blogging because life really took a sharp turn on me. When I began blogging I was doing my A'Levels. Once I was done with it I had to move on to a University and what a move it turned out to be! Unlike A'Levels I actually had to wake up 6 AM in the morning to attend class. Frequent tests and ...
