Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil & Vile (2019)

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 uncanny. Efron is a charming, devilish and disturbed Bundy. No doubt this film will be his best.

 The former "Disney Channel" star has certainly outdone himself, with his "Disney" days behind him, Efron has been kept busy and this is just perhaps Efron's best performance of his career. Opposite Efron, is Lily Collins, who tells the events of the film as the girlfriend of Bundy. Collins gives an outstanding performance and is just as entertaining as Efron.

Even for those who remember the trials of Ted Bundy, this film will serve as a reminder and as a history lesson to those not around to know of this evildoer. The films title is a direct quote from Judge Edward Cowart and needless to say, these crime are indeed as it shows. This film is one of the most thrilling films of the year.

Avengers: Endgame (2019)

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 film, we wouldn't have come to love these characters. The emotional investment fans have had all these years is palpable once you see this film.

Directing sibling-duo Joe & Anthony Russo have been making thrilling entries in the "MCU" for over 5 years, starting with the Captain America sequel "The Winter Soldier". Ever since, they have made undeniably entertaining films, this film is no exception. This is perhaps one of their best films. It's got heart, humor and heart-pounding action that fills this film to the brim.

"Endgame" has some of (if not the best action in any "Marvel" film since 2016's "Captain America: Civil War". It's exciting and jam-packed with action that's unlike any of the preceeding films in the "Marvel" filmography.

To keep the film on its toes, returning composer Alan Silvestri, booms back in the screen. Silvestri crafts another stunning, thrilling and epic score that is perhaps just as exciting as the film it so fittingly serves. Silvestri's now iconic "Avengers" theme is a staple in its own right because of how well it fits into the film. His score and themes will no doubt reign supreme in "Marvel" cinematic history.

Could there be anyone else more deserving of playing baddie Thanos no other than Josh Brolin. Brolin is the perfect choice to play him because he plays the evil doer in such a menacing and hell bent way that is no doubt exciting. Brolin's Thanos is quite possibly the best villain in any "Marvel" film thus far.

I've said it once, I'll say it again, this is the perfect ending to a magnificent filmography. It is bittersweet, it's fun and absolutely emotional from start to end. With a hulk-sized runtime of 3 hours, this is perhaps the best 3 hours I've ever spent at the cinema, perhaps ever. So, with all that to say, I just want to extend my utmost thanks and applause to everyone at "Marvel" for creating not only outstanding films for us all these years, but for making this the grandest-of grand finales in the history of any film franchise, and quite honestly, the grandest sequel to any film ever.

SHAZAM! (2019)

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't usually have the signature style of comedy that "Marvel" has. If the studio had this kind of approach at trying to establish their own brand of comedy with films prior to this, their films wouldn't have been both a box office flop or another dull entry for DC.  

With solo superhero films on the rise, the lead actors cast as the hero are filling big shoes of iconic characters. This film is no different. Lead Zachary Levi lives up to the name of this iconic character in one of his best performances and not only that, but one of the most enjoyable in that of a DC film. 

Alongside Levi, are "IT" star Jack Dylan-Grazer, Mark Strong "Kingsman" and Disney Channel's  Asher Angel. The two teen actors blend right into this film with heart and comedy. Mark Strong is menacing in this film as the villain. He adds a more dark tone to the film. 

Scoring the film, is Benjamin Wallfisch. Wallfisch makes the film just as enjoyable as the film itself. With it being an action film, this score blends right into it, while being a fast paced and lively compilation of a score. 

The film not only has genuine hilarity, but it also has killer action sequences, which mainly involves the title character. The action in the film also blends right into the comedic aspects of this film. This film is also got a sense of heart at the helm. The heart of the film is the actors and the chemistry they have while on-screen. Grazer and Levi have an impeccable sense of it. 

Solo superhero films have recently become all the rave. With this film adding to the mix, there's no telling what can and cannot be classified as a solo superhero film. There's no end insight to the solo superhero film craze and it won't die down anytime soon, because this buddy-buddy action film is one to see.

Rate: A 

Director: David F. Sandberg 

Starring: Zachary Levi, Jack Dylan-Grazer, Asher Angel and Mark Strong

MPAA Rating: PG-13 (for intense sequences of action, language, and suggestive material)

Runtime; 2 Hours & 12 Minutes 

Synopsis: We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson's (Asher Angel) case, by shouting out one word--SHAZAM!--this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam (Zachary Levi), courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heart--inside a ripped, godlike body--Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test? Shazam sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful recklessness of a child. But he'll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Strong).

Captain Marvel (2019)

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 film offers stunning action sequences to which its stars carry out in a fun and exciting way. Not only that but the visuals are also quite impressive. Meanwhile, you have some killer de-aging going on with Fury and Coulson, respectively. Then audiences can finally see how the iconic soon-to-be S.H.I.E.L.D director got that killer eye patch.

Thanos ain't going to know what hit him, come next months Endgame, when we see the powers of Captain Marvel side-by-side with the non-dust avengers.

Directing duo Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck make this film as enjoyable as can be. They burst into the superhero scene and craft an entertaining film that is as nostalgic as its 1990's backdrop. Not only is this film entertaining and visually appealing, its got its fair share of comedy to it. This is mostly in part because of the scene stealing cat, whose name pays homage to Tom Cruise's film "Top Gun".

This film does have a few bumps though. The film starts off quite slow but gets better as the film goes on. This later on makes the film bounce back into a more positive direction.

Since the passing of comicbook creator icon Stan Lee, audiences yearn for the remaining cameos of the late legend. This film and the opening Marvel Studios logo pay homage to Lee in an emotional send off.

This is one of the first films to have girl power not just on screen and in the directors chair, but also crafting the films score. In fact, this film marks as the first Marvel film to be directed and scored by two women. That in itself is an accomplishment. Turkish composer Pinar Toprak bursts her score on the screen. She crafts a score that's electric, vibrant and peaceful.

This film marks one of the best that Marvel has to offer. With superhero origin films on the rise, this film takes the cake. Yeah, granted that we have already seen the origins of our favorite superheroes already but that doesn't stop us from wanting more films like these. Despite a slow beginning, this film introduces the title character and Brie Larson to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, (MCU) in an exciting fashion that is a sight to see. And as the first film I've seen released this year, so far, some films are going to have a tough act to follow.

Kim Possible (2019)

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 for nostalgic reasons but it fails to impress.

The only good thing about this film are the action sequences. For a film made for TV, this film has pretty good action and special effects but it's not enough to satisfy.

Over 15 years have past since the iconic show debuted. And needless to say, this film disappoints on so many levels. This film is nowhere near as good as the animated films it made while the show was still on air. So, if you're looking for a trip of Disney nostalgia, look elsewhere.

Eighth Grade (2018)

Growing up can be hard. When you're just thrust into the world of adolescence, you don't have any clue what the hell is going on. For teen Kayla, she experiences the ups and downs that come with being a teenager. This film is about growing up and being yourself. It is a coming-of-age comedy that is one of the best, most vibrant and relatable films of the year.

From debut writer and director Bo Burnham, comes an all new coming-of-age comedy. Burnham crafts an outstanding and remarkable first film. It's strong, poignant and touching. Burnham's take on the trials of growing up are fresh and authentic. Burnham crafts a remarkable film that all teens should relate to. 

Breakout star Elsie Fisher gives a towering and fierce performance as the adolescent teenager lead. Fisher is a tour-de-force in this film. She gives an outstanding performance, one of the best by a young actress. 

This film has a lot to say about growing up and it's obvious. It showcases what it is actually like or at least tries to depict the world according to a teenager. This film offers commentary on how to be yourself and how to deal with struggles. It's unlike any film this year. 

The films score is composed by Anna Meredith. Meredith does a great job at keeping the mood of the film upbeat and electric. 

Growing up is tough, but if you have the right people by your side, you will overcome anything. This film is outstanding as far as coming-of-age films are concerned. I have no doubt that this film will be enjoyed by all teens and pre-teens alike for years to come.
