Malawski's Movie Mania

Walt Disney’s latest animation creation is nothing short of a masterpiece, shedding light on the importance of acceptance and tolerance. Zootopia uniquely  illustrates these themes by using animals instead of humans in the film. The film also delivers vivid settings while exaggerating the actual job of animals in the world. The use of exaggeration and irony adds a humorous tone to the plot. Judy Hopps, the protagonist of the film played by Ginnifer Goodwin, does an outstanding job as she encompasses an enthusiastic vibe to the role. Her character faces various challenges throughout the film as she tries to accomplish her goal of being the first Bunny Cop.  At the start of  Zootopia , Judy faces backlash from a minor antagonist,  who disapproves of Judy’s dream to become a police officer.  Judy’s parents also didn’t approve at first as they became aware of her ambition; instead, they would prefer Judy chose a more realistic job, such as a carrot farmer.

What happens when you get an uninvited party guest walking through your door? Well, you do everything in your best interest to rid that party-crasher from your house. But what do you do if there's an alien invasion? Do you riot and loot? Or do you run like hell? That decision is yours when and if the time comes for such drastic measures. Science-Fiction, alien plagued films, aren't always the best. But, "Arrival" has an excellent amount of depth and consistency, exciting and entertaining charisma. (Yes, Roland Emmerich I hated the rip off sequel to Independence Day)  Architect behind thrillers "Sicario" and "Prisoners" , Denis Villeneuve, constructs a film that is uniquely complex, mature in nature.  The use of flashback is greatly effective as it is shown on screen. This element of the story adds to the dramatic angles of the film as a whole.  One word, stunning. That's how I can to the best of my ability describe the acting i...

Taking place in the films namesake town located in Massachusetts. " Manchester by the Sea" is a breathtaking powerful film detailing what a midlife crisis is and the effects they have on people close to one another. Deeply moving and powerful film, "Manchester by the Sea" is a film for the ages, it's quite possibly one of the decade's finest works. Some of the greatest performances i've seen by a predominantly male cast. Casey Affleck does an excellent job with the lead. Affleck boasts onscreen with a rare powerful execution of extreme proportions. Still trying to make his mark, Lucas Hedges, (Afflecks' onscreen nephew) is terrific. His character, a teenager, who has some coping difficulties due to a family tragedy. As the film progresses, he goes out of his shell becoming in a way, extroverted than before. Co-Starring in the film, Michelle Williams, playing (Afflecks ex-wife), perfectly measures up to the dramatic aspects of the film. ...

Remember when your parents would tell you to "turn the other cheek" when a bully picks on you? Well, in this case, adulthood, for instance, has its bullies too. Two teachers duke it out in a high school parking lot on the last day of school, and things do not go well for either one. Ice Cube (aka) not-so-Mr. Nice Guy is exactly like that one man driving in front of you at the speed of a turtle. His patience is very thin throughout the movie due to Charlie Day (aka) the world's biggest pain-in-the-ass coworker. The comedic duo here is funny, but it's not laugh till your stomach hurts, milk outta your nose type.  What Fist Fight lacks is persistency and better laughs. The film is enjoyable, however, some jokes weren't funny. They were there for a reaction.  Some of the films brightest moments involved (you said it) children. Giving that this is an R rated movie, it's got some potty-mouthed children in here to.  Not in anyway shape or form was th...

It's one of  the best war films . Based on the real American war hero Desmond Doss, "Hacksaw Ridge" is an emotional recount of the horrors of World War II . [It] satisfies in every possible aspect. Even though its graphic depictions of war at the core, it's still a monumentos achievement.   Moviegoers undoubtedly feel a renewed sense of patriotism. It shows just how one act of kindness can lead to change. When you're being judged by your morals, stand tall and strong. That's exactly what the ballsy army medic did. Even when you faced with avalanches of insults and hardships with others. From Spider-Man to war hero, Andrew Garfield soars, triumphs in an emotionally heart wrenching performance.Alongside Garfield, Teresa Palmer, Sam Worthington and Vince Vaughn blend into the film with unique efforts of beauty. One of the most gifted talents in Hollywood , Mel Gibson, establishes a movie that accomplishes everything a true-story film has a duty to do: be a...

If you know me at all, horror films are not my cup of tea. When I saw the first advertisements for this film, I was sold. Something very intriguing and thrilling as this film is a (MUST WATCH) for those reasons. Professor X (younger) goes mentally unstable and you can't miss one of James McAvoy's best performances. Indian film director M. Night Shyamalan's ( The Sixth Sense ) latest work is with no uncertainty, gripping. Shyamalan approaches the film with an essence of fascination and mind-boggling qualities. From start to finish, the work he displays is one that has depth and consistency. It's James McAvoy like you've never seen him before. The main role he plays is one of many. Some of his character's mental identities are: serious, comical, and no doubt-creepy. McAvoy portrays a character with an instant on and off switch. One day he's someone else and the next he's completely different. What also makes this film stunning is its score eerily co...
