Malawski's Movie Mania

One of the most original Disney films, "Wreck it Ralph ", gets a unique and whimsy sequel. Disney has always brought audiences films of beauty and awe. This film is no exception. This film is wonderful in every sense of the word. Hidden beneath the glitz and glamour lies a stubble of an opening sequence that is good but could've been better. With both this film and its predecessor, Disney doesn't disappoint with a satisfying sequel that may not be quite as fun as its original. This film offers audiences a whole new setting while making a vast universe of an animated version of the internet. It's just so fascinating to see what these filmmakers are able to come up with. This film has more to meets the eye, more than its predecessor in regards to attention to detail and craft. Audiences will no doubt fall in love with this sequel. Directors Rich Moore and Phil Johnston craft a funny and beautiful film. They make this film even more eye popping than the first ins...

J.K Rowling's ultra-popular " Wizarding World"  has taken the world by storm. For almost 20 years, her magical works have entertained millions worldwide. With this being the second film in the spin-off series, "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald", is another magical film entry into the self proclaimed " Wizarding World" , but isn't as thoroughly enjoyable as "Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them".  Unlike the predecessor, the follow-up is slow to start, drags on a little but is entertaining, even if it's not the likes of the 2016 film. David Yates director of the film, is no stranger to directing films in this saga. For this film, he ups the magic, and adds compelling set pieces and a riveting story, that may consist of wandering off abruptly with plot and story holes. This sequel will do anything and [succeedingly] cater to the fans of the beloved films.  Resuming his magical duties as Newt Scamander once again ...

One of the most prolific singers of all time and the frontman of Queen, Freddie Mercury, gets a highly anticipated film. While watching this film, you feel as if you are at one of the many concerts. The overall excitement and heart this film has is astounding. This film gives audiences an inside look at the upbringing one of rocks most flamboyant singers of all time. One of the most iconic rock bands of all time gets the film treatment it so long deserved. Is there anyone who could possibly resemble the iconic singer in such a way? Not only does Rami Malek ( Mr. Robot)  resemble the late singer, he plays him in an unbelievable way. Malek puts all into this take on as Queen 's leading man. Not only does Malek look like the iconic singer, but the rest of the cast resemble their real-life counterparts. X-Men  director Bryan Singer helms this biopic. Singer crafts an amazing film with depth and realness that make this film resonate with those who grew up with the sounds of Que...

In my review of the original film, I hated on it, that all changed dramatically when I saw this sequel 40 years in the making. This film unlike its predecessor, is an entertaining film with quality. Yeah, given this films genre and the title, it's supposed to be scary as hell, but, it's actually a thrilling film with suspense. This film has a lot to offer, given the 40 year wait for the reunion of the Shape aka (Michael Myers) and Laurie Strode. This film has at all, frights, edginess, suspense, and action sequences that are some of the best parts of the film.  Halloween  is a phenomenal film, which is one of the best films of the year by far.  This film has a very effective use of flashbacks to the 78' original. Flashbacks to the very beginning to where Michael killed his first victim. The flashbacks really help the film be as thrilling as if they weren't included. Taking over the directing duties from jack-of-all trades John Carpenter, is David Gordon Gree...

One of the best things about the fall season is not only the leaves and trees, its the annual Halloween movie marathon on Freeform . One of my personal favorite Halloween movies is the cult classic, critic hammered film Hocus Pocus . Yeah, this film may have been a disaster at the box office, but has. been a cultural phenomenon for two decades and will continue to be a classic phenomenon and cult favor Long before director Kenny Ortega made the High School Musical films, he made this one. Cooking  up a witchy film, that is fun and exciting and one of the best films of the genre. The sets, costumes and special effects are fun and vibrant, they keep the film on the right path.  Veteran actresses: Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker are a witty and outright hilarious trio of comedic proportions. They add a balance that is equal and works in which the film is more entertaining. Co-stars: Omri Katz, Vinessa Shaw, Thora Birch and Jason Marsden are fantastic. They...

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...
