Malawski's Movie Mania

Swinging his way into theaters, an all new film on your favorite "Friendly Neighbor Spider-Man". This film marks the 7th depiction of the web-slinging hero and in it's own right serves as a phenomenal tribute to the character in thrilling proportions. It's got it all, action, beautiful animation, an exciting story, humor and heart. This film is perhaps one of the best films to showcase the legendary hero. This film has an urban feel and it might just be one of the best parts about this film. It is a lot to show in the film's roughly 2 hour run time. It brings excitement to the film and the overall eye candy animation that is sure to wow audiences. The scope of the film is immense and absolutely astonishing. There's a first for everything. This film offers audiences a fresh portrayal of not only spider-man, but shows audiences one of a less familiar character. What's unique and exciting, is that this is a character that breaks ground by being one of ...

He's a fish out of water. After last years "Justice League" , member Arthur Curry also known as the "Aquaman"  gets his highly anticipated origin story of the ruler of Atlantis. "DC Comics " films have been a hit or miss in the past. With mediocre entries in the " DCEU"-(DC Extended Universe) such as: "Man of Steel" and "Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn Of Justice". On the other hand, you have successful DC films such as the " Dark Knight " trilogy and " Wonder Woman" . This film joins the ranks among these films as one of the best films from " DC Comics" . With last years " Justice League"  audiences got a glimpse of this films self titled " Aquaman". Now with his own film, we see him and all his glory. Star Jason Momoa is exciting and very and naturally funny as the iconic superhero. He is meant for this role. He brings his all into the character and is physically made just li...

One of the most over adapted into films ever, gets  yet another film on the same "Jungle Book"  story. It is very promising but is just another adaption of the works of Rudyard Kipling. That being said, this film is over dramatic and muddled with no development and offers no exciting original story. This film was originally going to be in theaters but went on Netflix instead. In my opinion, that was a very smart move. Otherwise, this film would've been a box office disaster. The voice acting couldn't be more over the top. Leads: Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett and director of the film, Andy Serkis waste valuable time for audiences, when they could be doing better films. If this year brings some of the worst films cast, this film would be on that list. Jack of all trades and director Andy Serkis makes one of the worst films of the year. It has however, a nice blend of color and action sequences but it's not enough to combat that weak and empty screenplay that po...

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...
