Malawski's Movie Mania

This film is basically a repeat of sorts similar to that of 2011's "Bridesmaids" .  But, it does produce audience laughter. Tons of mischief, estrogen, and alcohol sums up pretty much what this film is. What do you get when you have Scarlett Johansson looking like Hillary Clinton, daughter of rocker Lenny Kravitz, Zoe, and a crazily horny Jillian Bell? You get a bachelorette party of raunchy and chaotic proportions. This film isn't as funny as the Paul Feig blockbuster comedy. But, it does get audiences laughing while overcoming some dull moments. Newcomer director Lucia Aniello makes an impressive comedic film with an unlikely cast of a female ensemble. Even though this film looks very colorful-(not only in language, but,  it's like a the unicorn from the end credits of last years comedy phenomenon " Deadpool"   threw up everywhere- while making it to bathroom successfully.  I'm not really impressed or find ScarJo as funny as her co-star Kat...

Ay Caramba! We've all seen the "Mummy" films starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz. But this time around, none of them  return for this take on the mummified demon. It's kind of disappointing because the two were what made the "Mummy" movies good. This time around, you have a weak Tom Cruise- whose character is very pitiful and pride filled. Then you have a sexy british dame Annabelle Wallis- an archaeologist, who really wants to demolish (Sofia Boutella)  hellacious mummy "Ahmenet".  The desert and all other things holy weren't able to save this movie, as those things are what actually kills this film. "The Mummy" is essentially a dried-up, water-drought, evil dead, mediocre action, very cheesy film. Tom Cruise' worst performance that I have ever seen him in. The only good parts about his presence and the movie in fact, is the infamous zero-gravity plane stint. (Plus a scene in a church-  get those walking corpses outta her...

She came. She saw. And she conquered. For 76 years in the making, the fabulous Diana Prince, aka "Wonder Woman" now gets her highly anticipated big screen debut. Though Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman was seen in last years "Batman Vs. Superman" , this film shows her character in a much better light. Even though the films start is a little dull, it gets better from that point on.  This film offers many things that recent films in the "DC Comics" vault did not. "Wonder Woman", is an action-packed, sentimental, and a high octane thriller. Yes, some of the films brightest and boldest moments were the action sequences. But, the film also has some great humor. Especially, the hilarious one line dialogue. Its cast is supreme in the upbringing of comedic efforts in this movie. The films cast is excellent all around. Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, David Thewlis, and several women in action. They all give performances that keep the film alive and thriving. Where...

How much more of Johnny Depp's captain Jack Sparrow do we really need? Considering that " Disney" has made a huge success of this hide tide franchise. I'd say that you can never go wrong with  good ole' Johnny Depp playing a pirate. What makes this franchise so memorable, is its characters, settings, and mismatched teeth, are just some of the reasons why the "Pirates of The Caribbean" franchise is one of " Disney's" most successful films. Speculated before the films initial release, this sequel would have a similar undertone of the first film in the franchise, 2003's " Curse of the Black Pearl".  You would think those speculations to be true. But, I just think that the comparison between the two franchise films doesn't make any difference, reason being is that this series that has captivated audiences for over 14 years. And aren't very different in plot, especially in the franchise's fifth-time's-a-charm. ...

Once upon a time in a bedroom of a sick boy, lies the tale of romance and action that his grandfather would read to his father. Unlike your traditional love story, this film is consistent in the love story genre, It satisfies audiences at being a film that has action, romance and comedy. "The Princess Bride"  is and has always been a classic. It will continue to delight audiences for several years to come. Robin Wright shines as the shy and feisty Buttercup. She makes her debut in this film and does not cease to entertain. Co-stars  Cary Elwes  and Wallace Shawn are the films comedic pupils. The comedy in this film is unlike anything you've seen in any other romantic, fairy tale flick. Directed by Rob Reiner. The way Reiner creates such a vintage and highly enjoyable film through depth and creativity seen like never before. The sets in the film are as country as they come. Even though the sets are not as intriguing as the fairy tale kingdoms we've come to know and...

In Marvel's early prime, the adaptations the heroes we have come to love, wasn't necessarily what you would call a showstopper.  In fact, the versions of "Earth's Mightiest Heroes"  which were seen on tv in the 1970's and the 1980's, can't compare to the ultimate and helluva step in the right direction adaptations to Marvels beloved characters. The modern take on such loved superheroes is way better than that of the last depiction of them in the past century. Life turned upside down, self centered Stephen Strange, a neurosurgeon, gets a chance at redemption after a car accident nearly kills him. With the help and powers of an ancient sorceress, Stephen Strange trains to become a force of nature. One that will defeat the evil in the world. One force that wants to dominate the Earth for power. This movie dazzles from start to finish with its whimsically crafted special effects. The action and computer generated imagery is one of Marvel's best. Wi...

Before there was Kong, there was Frankenstein’s monster. The half man, half robot, was one of the biggest nightmares for us as kids. But after many years of cinematic monsters, comes a rebirth of a different kind of on screen atrocity. This depiction of Kong is essentially one of the more memorable on screen monsters in recent years. This wasn't particularly on my radar as a must watch, but, I am glad I did. At first, this film struck me as a potential failure-(even though the trailers made it look good). From the start of the movie to its end, I was completely entertained by something as awesome and action-packed such as this film. Not only are the visuals and action sequences in "Skull Island"  stellar, but also, the cast and hilarious script-(audiences can thank cast member John C. Reilly for this one.) He alongside Brie Larson, Tom Hiddleston, and Samuel L. Jackson give terrific performances trying to subdue this anxiety-provoking monster. To keep the film on it...
