A “QUICK!” Review of “Blonde (2022)”

Biopics usually have 3 things it has to do. Show what made them so talented and great while showing the positive/negative things that occurred in their life. Biopics are never completely truthful and do a fair amount of dramatization but a lot of the main beats have to be truthful. The most important of all is to be respectful to the person they are telling a story of as they are or were a real individual.

Blonde does none of that. It has no heart or soul and instead is just 2 hours 46 minutes of exhausting trauma, porn and dullness. The film acts like an artsy film but it just feels very pretentious and insulting to all the real people and the audience. The director doesn’t seem to be interested in her actual life but in the terrible rumours surrounding Monroe instead. The director then turned these rumours into a long soft porn film.

Do yourself a favour and don’t watch this…

A “QUICK!” Review of “Spy × Family Code: White (2024)“

This movie is two hours of Spy X Family goodness! Everything you love from the show is in here: the fun family slice-of-life dynamic, the ridiculously fun comedy with wacky goofiness from lovable daughter Anya, the suave spy action from Loid, and badass fight action set pieces from Yor. The animation is mostly similar to the show, but there are moments in the final act where the animation is glorious! However, the story isn’t really much to write home about and the villain is very "underbaked” (pun intended). Overall, this is a very fun movie set in the Spy X Family universe. If you love the show, you’ll love the movie.

A Review of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)”

Guardians of the Galaxy was one of the best and most surprising things to come out of the MCU. They were an unknown group with heroes that were even more unknown than Iron Man (at the time). However, thanks to director James Gunn, he made them one of the most popular Marvel characters and team. I loved the first one and it is still up there in one of my favourite Marvel films. The second one is a great movie but not as good as the first one. There is a joke that the 3rd movie is always the worst which did occur with Ant-Man recently. Does Guardians of the Galaxy fall into this or does it deliver an epic trilogy? One of the core themes in the Guardian of the Galaxy movies is family and loss. This is still prevalent here and still as powerful. We see the Guardians feel closer as a family than ever but also argue a lot like family too. In terms of character arcs, Peter is still reeling from the loss of Gamora, Yondu and even his mother which is making him go to the bo...

A “QUICK!” Review of “Until Dawn (2025)”

It’s disappointing that this film is “Until Dawn” in name only and doesn’t truly adapt the game. However, the time loop element is intriguing, and I did enjoy the group’s camaraderie. Unfortunately, the horror is generic and uninspired, and the visuals are equally dull, marked by flat cinematography. Overall, it’s a shallow film that delivers a lackluster execution of what could have been an interesting concept.
