Malawski's Movie Mania

For the past few years, " Disney"  has made a slew of remakes to classic hits. They just keep on coming. Some of the remakes have been sub-par to the original but others did succeed at entertaining audiences. This is one of them. A remake to the 1991 animated classic, " Aladdin" , comes an all new live-action take. This film is entertaining to the max, even if it's too heavy on the "CGI" or lack thereof. It doesn't do it justice, but it is a satisfying remake. One of the more entertaining remakes, " Aladdin" doesn't quite live up to the splendor of the animated original. Making his " Disney"  directorial debut, Guy Ritchie " Sherlock Holmes", makes a magical adventure. Though it may not have the razzle-dazzle that the original film does, it's still entertaining. What Richie manages to do as far as making this film, he doesn't completely remake the film, new and improved or extended parts to the story are ...

Based on the trial of notorious serial killer, Ted Bundy, comes a thrilling-drama that's absolutely terrifying. This film sheds the light in the perspective of Bundy's girlfriend at the time, Elizabeth Kloepfer, played by Lily Collins. I didn't really know of Ted Bundy until the "Netflix"  docuseries " Conversations With A Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes," came out. It's very eye-opening to where you can't believe that these crimes actually happened. This film is undoubtedly gripping and shocking, one of the best this year has to offer so far. Director Joe Berlinger crafts a stunning film that is as gripping and devilishly engrossing as its subject. The attention to detail here is fantastic and it certainly doesn't go unseen. Berlinger makes one of this years most anticipated films, one you can't miss. I can't think of anyone more fit to play Ted Bundy none other than Zac Efron. The resemblance Efron has with the serial killer is unca...

After last years devastating events that took place in " Infinity War" , fans now get to witness the "Endgame". 11 years and 22 films, it all comes down to this final epic conclusion to an unforgettable trophy case of films. As if the events of "Infinity War" weren't emotional enough, this direct follow-up is just as emotional, maybe if not more than the " Infinity War" . This film is everything if not more than what I expected. It's the perfect conclusion to a magnificent saga of films. You'll laugh, cry and scream, this film will take you on a roller coaster of emotions. After 10 years of amazing films, this is the end. This is an amazing conclusion and serves as the best " MCU" film of all time.     There is no one more capable to play our heroes. They have brought these iconic characters to life in such a remarkable way. This is what makes these films so enjoyable, is the cast. If it weren't for the cast in this fi...

No, this is not the same as the music finding app of the same name. Let me just take a moment to applaud the folks at  "DC Films", because this film is straight up their most entertaining film yet. It's unexpected, the humor is outstanding and the action sequences are awesome. This film is one of the studios best in recent years and one of the best origin films. The films dynamic of enjoyment and fun is palpable. It's fresh and new, something that I think " DC Films" so desperately needs. "DC Films"  can be a hit or miss, but this is definitely a massive hit. This film doesn't even have to try to entertain and excite audiences, because it's so natural. Its eloquent embrace of fun and excitement deem this film worthy of multiple viewings. You can't get enough, you will be wanting more even after the credits start rolling.  Director David Sandberg is a comic genius. The film is practically a comedy.  "DC Films" don'...

Superhero origin films just keep on coming. With recent hits like Wonder Woman" being the first female superhero film,  Marvel finally gets a female superhero film of its very own. This film is an absolute triumph in its own right. Playing the titular character and newcomer to the MCU, is Brie Larson (21 Jump Street and Room)  who plays the heroine in exciting fashion. Larson is exquisite in the role as the alien/Air Force pilot that kicks major ass. This film is exciting and with Marvel's signature fashion of dazzling special effects and action sequences, this makes out as one of the best films from "Marvel"  as far as origin films goes. As I previously mentioned, Brie Larson does an outstanding job as the heroine, but not only that, her costars: Samuel L. Jackson (playing a younger Nick Fury) Clark Gregg (playing a younger Phil Coulson), Ben Mendelsohn, Jude Law and a scene-stealing feline are all just as a great part of this film as the main character is. This...

If there's one thing that "Disney Channel"  can do, is bring nostalgia to its once loyal viewers. The prime of the channel was, in my opinion, when show like " That's So Raven" & " Suite Life"  were smash hits. Other shows like "Kim Possible" , for example, was one of the few animated shows on the channel during that prime. With over 15 years since the show first aired, a new revamped take on the show in a made for TV movie is an utter disappointment for fans of the beloved show. The fact of the matter is, this film just plain sucks. It has some promise to be a good movie, but fails miserably. The writing is cringe-worthy, it's cliche and not quality driven. Don't even get me started on the acting. Granted that this film is made for TV and the target audience is kids, it's still not even remotely entertaining. Directors Adam Stein and Zach Lipovsky try and make an entertaining film to bring back fans of the hit show ...
