Glass

Yet another movie I have no clue why I spent my money on. I’m not a fan of comics nor superheroes in my opinion they’re silly and non necessary, but yet I thought it was a good idea to go out and watch Glass. I have no words to describe how bad it was, the ambiance of the movie with the setting being in the mental hospital made it seem very boring. I don’t know about you but me personally I don’t like when the main setting of a movie is a room full of white, doesn’t sound very fun. That’s not the only thing bad with it, I didn’t understand any of the plot and it seemed the movie had no moral or lesson. Just to give you an idea of how bad it was, Mr. Glass the main character of the movie didn’t talk till the last ten minutes of the movie, yeah it was really bad. The only interesting part was the fight which was a total of two minutes out of the extraordinarily long two hours the movie took. Would I recommend this, no unless you like feeling like you’re in a mental asylum. I rate this movie 2/10 simple.

The Mule (2018)

I watched The Mule and straight off the bat let me tell you it was great! If you like comedy and/or action I would 10/10 recommend! The Mule starts off with Earl Stone the main character rebuilding his life after hitting rock bottom and his family completely hating him. In order to do so, he transports cartel’s drugs across the US without him even knowing. He does this all while a DEA agent hunts for him, the one thing neither know is they’ve had multiple interactions for each other. My favorite part of the movie is when Earl gets a call from his daughter telling him his wife is about to die, this man does what any normal person would do and pulls up to his daughter’s house with a truck stacked to the brim with cocaine to say his goodbye’s. The cartel was so mad that he was late to the drop off they sent hitmen after him. What I love though is when the hitmen found out he was late because his wife died they had sympathy and didn’t kill him. This scene showed me that even the worst of the worst have a heart. This movie also made me realize how important dignity is, being true for who you are and showing responsibility for your actions.  During his sentencing, while his lawyer was trying to liberate some charges Earl stands up and pleads guilty to all of them, what a man! Well to sum it up The Mule was amazing!

Aquaman

I watched Aquaman and let me tell you i’m not too happy about it. The movie is about Aquaman the king of the seas and his expedition to find out what happened to his mother and regain control of Atlantis. It starts off with his mother a queen meeting a lighthouse keeper and having a kid. One day the mother has to go back and leaves the lighthouse, big deal. That kid is later grows up to become Aquaman, he finds out his brother is the king of Atlantis and is destroying the inland. Too stop him he goes on a massive quest to find a trident which was honestly not necessary but whatever. At the end he takes his rightful place as king and finds his mother. Not everything was bad about this movie however, I like the idea of his mother a queen falling in love with a dock keeper. It really shows how no matter how rich or poor you are if you fall in love it happens. In a way it’s almost like a humble touch the creators added. I rate this movie 6/10 mainly because I almost fell asleep during Aquaman’s quest to get the trident.
