Looking Back and Moving Forward James Cameron’s Avatar was a gamechanger for cinema back in 2009, as its motion-capture visual effects were a sight to behold. Back then, there weren’t really other films that attempted to do what James Cameron succeeded to do, create a unique world that people would remember for many years. Looking…
Anticipation Thoughts – The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
When Nintendo announced during E3 2019 that they were developing a direct sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, I became very ecstatic for all the possibilities the developers would take with the concepts introduced in Breath of the Wild. Breath of the Wild took the Zelda formula back it’s established roots…
Guess Who’s Back!!!
Hi. You may remember me as Fatherly Film Reviews. Back in 2020, I had decided to decommission my former review site www.fatherlyfilmreviews.com and leave the hobby altogether due to life changes and due to the pandemic. You will be happy to hear that I have returned to the blogging scene and started a brand new…
The Invisible Man: Reimagined on a Visible Scale
Copyright Universal Pictures 8.5 out of 10 I’ve been a recent Horror buff in the past year or so, I’ve stood up to horror films that I refused to watch like John Carpenter’s The Thing, The Exorcist, David Cronenberg’s The Fly, and Nightmare on Elm Street (Original). I have been trying to watch more horror…
Quickie Reviews: Togo – The True Hero of Nomn
8.0 out of 10 In my childhood, I had known of a little movie called Balto and how it told the story of a sled dog who became famous for some reason and it had to do with running serum to save children who were really sick. I honestly had no clue of what happened…

Uncut Gems – Diamond in the Rough
8.5 out of 10 **WARNING-MINOR SPOILERS**If you were to tell me if Adam Sandler could be a serious actor when he wants to. I would’ve shrugged it off since he’s mostly starred in so many stinkers like Jack and Jill and Pixels. When I saw the first trailer for Uncut Gems, I was intrigued by…

For the longest time, I was convinced that Robert Pattinson…
Joker: Birth of the Clown Prince of Crime
9.5 out of 10 I remember seeing a couple web articles claiming that Joaquin Phoenix was in talks to star in a Joker origin movie that would be helmed by The Hangover Trilogy’s director, Todd Phillips. I didn’t really believe that Joaquin Phoenix could pull it off until I watched the test footage of him…
IT Chapter Two: Return of the Clown
7.0 out of 10 Warning – Spoilers Throughout I have a confession to make. I only watched IT Chapter One just a few months ago so I recently became a fan of the movie. I really liked Chapter One for its characters, it’s different approach to telling Stephen King’s Novel, it’s score by Benjamin Wallfisch,…
