The 1994 movie “The Crow,” directed by Alex Proyas is a cult classic and achieved cult status not only because the film is a masterpiece but Brandon Lee’s portrayal as Eric Draven has been set in stone and the reimagining of the cult classic, is not only a risky idea as a new idea or retelling needs to hit all the notes correctly in order to honor the lore, comics and the performances of the original that most people will remember and to be honest, this one missed the mark.
Inside Out 2 has got to be the animation movie of the year for me so far. It had everything I wanted from the original and so much more I never could have anticipated. From the very first opening scene with that nostalgic, wholesome piano keys of the theme sound from the first movie, it was like my soul was transported back into the feelings the first movie brought about while bringing me wholly into the world of the sequel.
Last night, I had the absolute pleasure of attending the premiere of Bad Boys 4: Ride or Die with my ride-or-die best mates, and let me tell you, it was one of the most fun cinema experiences of the year! From the quality of the movie to the electrifying vibe of the cinema, everything about the night was extraordinary. The communal laughter, the spontaneous shouting at the screen—it was an experience that almost rivalled having an entire cinema to myself.
