Malawski's Movie Mania

A staple in horror films for forty years,  [It] Halloween  has aged like rotten cheese. It was good then, but this is now. This film isn't your typical scary movie. It's a slasher, thriller. Not only that, but, it is terrifying in that the score is extremely effective. While it's a great horror film of its time, I see this film in the 21st century, thinking that it'll be as scary as it was 40 years ago. I was dead wrong. When this film ended, I was like: "this was dumb and weird." Jack of all trades, John Carpenter not only directed the film, but he is also responsible for creating the score, writing the film and producing. One of the films most thrilling aspects is every time Michael Myers appears on screen faceless, the films iconic theme is tuned in. That right there shows Carpenters original approach on directing and scoring. In her first film, Jamie-Lee Curtis, plays a terrified high school student, one of Myers sisters, and a babysitter. She plays he...

Who says a villain can't have their own film? The infamous foe of Peter Parker (aka) Spider-Man gets his long-awaited film. This isn't your average superhero film. Well, in this case, "hero-villain", an oxymoron for the title character.  It [Venom] may seem all bad but he's actually the opposite of a villain. The symbiotic-alien, takes on a host, Eddie Brock, who's a flawed yet cunning character. Brock, played by Tom Hardy, who is no stranger to playing baddies, morphs into the creature in terrifying fashion. This film isn't your average superhero film, it's more of a villainous tale into one of Marvel's most terrifying creatures. Unleashing terror one director at a time, is "Zombieland"   director Ruben Fleischer. Fleischer crafts a film that does not disappoint. His vision for creating this origin story, is exciting and thrilling every second. He adds insight to one of comic books most iconic villains. Granted that this films namesa...

In the latter years that followed the " Holocaust" , a team of Israeli intelligence agents of the "Mossad" track down one of the living post-war architects of the "Final Solution". Adolf Eichmann, one of Hitler's confidante's, avoided being caught for his crimes and escaped to Buenos Aries, Argentina with his family in hiding. One of the most astounding feats and unfathomable was that he used a fake name to successfully enter the country. It's one of the most thrilling historical films to date. This film is stunning and is a testament of time and justice for the Jewish people. Director Chris Weitz and writer Matthew Orton craft a vividly captivating film. Weitz who so eloquently creates a stunning biographical narrative with authenticity and finesse that audiences will  truly appreciate the art of this compelling film and its very important role in history. Meanwhile, Orton crafts a screenplay that is filled with tension and relentlessness. ...

It's muppets gone bad. From the son of Jim Henson, comes a downright awful and obnoxious comedy. With  adult comedic films on the rise since 2016's "Sausage Party" , it hasn't gotten any better, with the exception of both " Deadpool" films, adult tailored comedic films have been no entertaining experiences. This is perhaps the worst film of the year, in my opinion. This entire movie is just utterly cringe worthy. Yeah things might seem promising from the surfaces, but this film is just too much for the people working on this film. For director Brian Henson, this film is just putting the legacy of his father right down the crapper. Henson tries too hard to emulate the talents of his father, who unlike his son, has made quality content meant for adults. I give Henson kudos for trying to entertain audiences, but it's just excruciating to watch with it's 90 minute runtime. The writing on the otherhand, is some of the worst ever in a comedy and is...

The untold story of a Colorado Police Officer infiltrating the notoriously disgusting "KKK" in the 1970's, is now a deeply powerful and disturbing motion picture. Colorado Springs Police rookie, Ray Stallworth, sets out on an investigation of the local "KKK" chapter. Doesn't that sound crazy? It's an unbelievably gripping take on a very important event in history. This film is rich in craft and has a sometimes excessive political bias. BlacKkKlansman is an authentic and rich true story narrative that aims to show a piece of history that has, not only had an impact on America but a global one as this film is a monumental achievement in both film and society. Infiltrating the director's chair, is director Spike Lee. Lee offers a film to audiences that is not only a movie of a historical event, but a film on social issues and political ideologies in America. Lee writes the film with edge and sensationalism that is unlike anything ever seen in a film...

Tom Cruise is like the " Energizer Bunny", the more films he does, the better the film is. In almost every film Cruise does, he is running like hell for some reason. He's been doing the Mission Impossible films since 1996, and it looks like this franchise shows no sign of ending just yet. It much like the "James Bond" and "Jason Bourne" films, brings a whole new level of complexity, suspense and action- which this franchise ups every time. Being pretty synonymous to " 007", The " Mission Impossible" films are a unique and vivid set of suspense thrillers. Very rarely do you see films directed by the same one director and they end up being good films. Director of both this installment and the 2015 predecessor " Rogue Nation" , Christopher McQuarrie, helms yet another absolute stunner. Having written the screenplay in both of these films, McQuarrie adds more sophistication and cleverness to each film. This film has that q...

What would you do if you had to live your life in complete silence? There's a catch to it though, you're being hunted by demonic aliens that hunt you when you make any noise. For the Abbott family, they live like it's the norm. Taking place in the not-so-distant 2020's, the world is a wasteland of sound makers and all that's left are those who are willing to do anything it takes to survive, even if that means silent living. This film is a standout of epic proportions. The acting. Adrenaline. Suspense. This film is one of the most original in decades. Making his outstanding directorial debut, John Kransinski, makes a film so edgy, sharp and poignant from start to finish. Krasinski makes the film a unique horror-thriller. He uses sign-language in the film completely, as this is the only way for the family in the film to communicate. He also has chosen to cast a real deaf actor in the role of his characters daughter. A typical teen, a little feisty and rebellious-t...
