Malawski's Movie Mania

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...

Sequels are an unprecedented kind of achievement. Given that the sequel treatment is a success. But can it better than its predecessor? Films are only brought the idea for a sequel for obvious reasons. The first film was a commercial hit globally and there is more to tell. Nothing can top an original but in some cases that's extremely rare. What make each and every film in the  Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) different from one another is that they have various styles of vision and uniqueness. Some of the earlier films of this big world were just the preparations for the more action-packed films later down the road. Now, that the road has been traveled, the action has been amped up so high that the earlier films in the " MCU"  can't compare to. Heavily influenced by the 1980's, " Guardians of The Galaxy Vols. 1 and 2" make their films more and more entertaining with the help of comedic efforts and memorabilia of that decade. Both films also had their...

 As the guy from that one State Farm commercial said, "You've gotta do better than that!" goes without saying. Moviegoers have witnessed recent utopian films like: Kingsman: The Secret Service or Terminator Genisys. But, seriously, and just when you thought the movies out thus far this year were all goody-too-shoes. It can only get worse from here. Hollywood really needs to cutback on the film adaptations of novels. Especially when films like this one are completely lost in translation. But, I guess it all depends on a few vital things: director, studio and of course the cast. But, let's get real here. There have been really shitty movie adaptations of incredible books- *cough cough* ( Divergent and Maze Runner). Not every book ever written must be made into a movie. Nowadays this trend in film has become old and it's like been there seen it kind of thing. Let me lay down the hammer for you. 2013's  "The Circle", a utopian thriller, is an utter ...

Superhero movies are typically a standard of normal. (You expect to see one being made every so often.) They also have prior works to go off of and adapt them to the big screen. Disney and Pixars latest   goes above and beyond, ignoring that same old tradition. I'm not going to jump right into why this is my favorite animated film of all time just yet. I want to lay down some of the amazing things about the film itself. Big kudos to director Brad Bird for making such a unique and highly entertaining, original film. This is a movie to remember. Can I have the same powers as virtually everyone? (In a sense, a black Elsa, an amazing gymnast, and Jesus, I mean, a grade schooler who can run on water. Yes, Please! Some of the films best moments, are the films most emotional. Which makes the film even more effective and enjoyable. All around, this film has spectacular action sequences. If I may add, some realistically created earthly elements. (Such as, fire and ice.) The sets a...
