Movie News and Reviews - Blog



Welcome to my blog movie news and reviews, my name is Alexis and I will be using this blog to write about new movie news and occasionally write reviews. I plan on using this blog to see how I like running a blog. A little bit about me, I'm 24 and I have always loved movies. I really like Wes Anderson's films, comic book movies (mostly marvel), and Pixar. I hope you enjoy this blog and thank you for visiting. Side note: I suck at writing and most of the time I have no clue what I'm trying to say, so my reviews will more than likely be horribly written and make no sense but I'm trying, and we all love movies here. Right? Feel free to leave comments in the guest book thanks again!

My inspiration for starting this blog was Collider Movie Talk.
Unfortunately, the show doesn't come on anymore but, another great movie show/ podcast is The John Campea Show. I've been following this guy since I was 14 and he's never let me down. He goes live on weekdays around 1pm est.

Did you guys watch the Oscars? Did you think Ellen was a good host? Did you retweet the Ellen selfie? Did you scream when you saw Jenifer Lawrence, Nicolas Hoult, Benedict Cumberbatch, Chris Evans, Brad Pitt, Channing Tatum, Bradley Cooper, Jared Leto etc.? Did your favorites win? Did the speeches make you cry? Do you wish you were there??(I DO)

I love this interview


Wes Anderson's H&M commercial
I am so happy this is a thing. Seeing as I love Wes Anderson and his movies are released pretty far apart, it was nice to have a little something with his signature trademarks to tie me over for a little while until his next movie. I couldn't help but smile through the whole commercial because it focuses more on Wes Anderson and the characteristics of his work than on the brand he is advertising. Even if you don't like Wes Anderson or you don't know who he is you should still watch it because is about Christmas and its heart warming (and Adrien Brody is in it).

It's award season time again!

After what feels like the movie industry spending the last 2 years regrouping and learning how to work through COVID, the 2022 Oscars feels like we’re finally back, to a new normal that is. I thought It’d take longer for streaming to dominate but here we are in a world where a movie, if lucky, is in theaters for a mere 2 MAYBE 3 months before hitting a streaming platform 1 month or so after its initial release. Kids today will never understand the struggle of having to wait 3-6 months AFTER the movie was no longer in theaters before it was released on DVD.

This year's selection of best picture nominees clearly shows that film is back, both the blockbusters we love to turn our brains off to watch and the thought-provoking Oscar-bait films most people love to hate.

Of the 10 my personal favorite is Avatar: The way of water, while I was wildly entertained and captivated by James Cameron's continuous world-building I don’t think this film is worthy of winning best picture. While I haven’t seen Women Talking, Triangle of Sadness, or All Quiet on the Western Front, my vote as of now would go to Banshees of Inisherin.

*SIGH* To no surprise I was pretty disappointed by the Oscars. Don’t get me wrong I’m super happy for EEAAO they definitely deserved most of the awards they got. Ke Huy Quan, Michelle Yeoh, and the Daniels more than deserved their flowers. I'm less than thrilled that Jamie Lee Curtis won over Angela Bassett however I would’ve been much more accepting of the defeat had the praise gone to Stephanie Hsu instead. The award that felt like a complete snub was Best Original Score. Now I haven’t seen All Quiet on the Western Font, and as much as I have my issues with Babylon, Justin Hurwitz definitely should’ve won that award. Even if Hollywood hated Babylon and didn’t want to let it win anything, Carter Burwell and Son Lux had scores that stood out more.

As it does every year the politics and a bystander effect -esque mentality of Hollywood's biggest night doesn't fully allow us as movie lovers and cinephiles to truly celebrate film.
