I am not a movie kick nowadays but because of my little niece, I recently watched The Lion King, and I enjoyed it. My rating is perfect 5 because I love the message- Hakuna Matata means no worries! It resonates with me.

The Men Who Made Ultraman, a Japanese docudrama about the making of the first Ultraman TV series. Its the story of a young director who is fired from his directors job at a studio because of radical ideas. He is hired by another studio to direct the childrens TV show Ultraman and goes through trials and tribulations, lost love, and so on. A surprisingly good movie one of the best I have seen in ages. One of those feel good movies which are kind of rare nowdays. A must see for tokusatsu fans, I give it a 10. The version I saw is in Japanese with English subtitles.

The last movie I watched was Bonnie and Clyde! I watched it for a film class I'm in, and I really enjoyed it. I'm no film buff but I certainly understand why it's a classic. I'd rate it a 5/5!

I just finally watched Black Adam, and I got all excited when I saw Henry Cavill's Superman at the end... and then my boyfriend told me that Cavill will no longer be playing Superman, and I just don't understand why they would show him at the end of Black Adam and then fire him from the franchise. It makes no sense! Yes, I'm a bit peeved. Who doesn't love to see a bit of Henry in spandex on screen? haha

The last movie I saw was "The Woman King". This movie really inspired me, by how much risk and danger this women put themselves into to do what was right. I would give this movie a complete star rating, it deserves that much and even much more.

Darkest Hour. About Winston Churchill's fight with parlement to convince them that seeking a treaty with Hitler would be disastarous for the nation. Gary Oldman was top-notch as Churchill. A great film, one of my favorites.

I last watched Death on the Nile and now I am watching Murder on the Orient Express. I love detective series such as Hercule Poirot and Sherlock Holmes.
I would rate Death on the Nile as 7 on 10. I would have given it a 9 or 10 if it hadn't felt dragging for almost the first half. I kept waiting for the murder to happen during the first half. But after that, it was a great watch.

A Dogs Purpose about a dog who goes through different lives and adventures. Great movie, sad in parts but all in all it is one of those feel good films and one of my favorites.

La casa lobo
The last movie I saw it’s titled la casa lobo, I am afraid I would never find the words to describe the feelings this movie provoke in me.
The story revolves around the events that took place in the southern of Chile, specifically in the colonies founded by Germans that escaped from World War II.
The movie it’s a social and artistic denunciation of the many abuses and violations that many of the members, especially the children, suffer.
The cinematographic components, from the music to the images contribute to creat an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty that truly gets to the viewers.
5 out 5 stars.

The new Antman. Worth a watch and better than some of the recent Marvel offerings give it a solid 7/10
We've longed to see the roses, but never felt the thorns
And bought our pretty crowns, but never paid the price
Find me in the river, find me there
Find me on my knees with my soul laid bare

Deep Blue Sea 2. One of those very rare instances where the sequel is as good or better than the original.

Puss and Boots: the Last Wish. AS my sister and I watched, we laughed repeatedly with all the link backs to fairy tales as well as innuendos included. We wondered upon completion how many children would really understand this due to the depth of reading required to catch so many items. Up for awards, this movie was done in a more bilingual atmosphere which is pleasant. Very different approach for Disney which seems to be branching out to a more inclusive and global audience.
