Rambo Last Blood Review: A Satisfactory Conclusion to Action Series

By on • ( Leave a comment )

When thinking about action movies there are several iconic characters that have defined the genre. Among these heroes is none other than the grizzled soldier Rambo. The character debuted in 1982’s Rambo: First Blood and the film became an instant classic. Since then the character has been featured in four sequels where the action continued to get more intense and sometimes a little ridiculous. It has been sometime since the action hero has graced the silver screen; so naturally one would think that Rambo’s war has come to an end. However that is not the case as now in theaters is the fifth installment in the action franchise-Rambo:Last Blood. Directed by Adrian Grunberg, Last Blood sees the seasoned hero return in what appears to be one final time. That prospect alone was enough to see this sequel, and if nothing else it could be an exciting action film.The end result was a movie that lived up to the name Rambo-albeit in a subtle fashion.

Space: its mysterious nature has been an inspiration to the imagination. While there are many aspects to the sci-fi genre the concept of traveling through space is practically the genre’s bread and butter as it has played a major role in the world of film with movies such as 2001: A Space Odyssey and Interstellar. Despite the variety of adventures through the milky way this concept continues to thrive on the silver screen, and that is certainly evident in the new film Ad Astra. Ad Astra is directed by James Gray who wanted to create a more realistic approach to space travel, and it seems this idea has proven effective as the film has received astounding praise from critics. However could this sci-fi film entice this Film Adventurer? The answer is a surprising yes.

When it comes to directors with a unique vision, none may be more prominent than that of Quinten Tarantino. Since his work on Reservoir Dogs, the acclaimed filmmaker has brought his sense of style to an array of movies such as Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Inglorious Bastards and more recently The Hateful Eight. Now Tarrantino is back with his ninth motion picture and this time the director takes moviegoers to the land of the stars: Hollywood. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is a dramedy that depicts the stardom city during the 60’s. A film centering on a life in Hollywood is nothing new, but when you mix this concept with Quinten Tarantino, the end result could lead to anything. In this case what transpired was a film that was not only unique for the season, but unique for Tarantino himself.

What is it about scary stories that makes them so enamouring? The idea of ghostly hauntings continues to thrill all ages even to this day and it does in a variety of mediums; but happens when scary stories come to life? That is the concept that manifests itself in the new horror film Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Directed by Andre Ovredal Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is based on the book series by Alvin Schwartz. Along with being an adaptation, this film featured the contribution of acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro who produced the movie and helped with the story. Needless to say it never hurts to have Del Toro attach to a project such as this one. The preview for this film looked promising as the twisted imagery was enough to peak my interest. So, while it took me a bit to see it, I had a chance to endure this new horror film and although it did not frighten me out of my seat, I must say Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark was still an engaging ghost story.

For many years horror fans have been familiar with the Stephen King novel It thanks to the book finding even greater notoriety with the television miniseries released in 1990. Then in 2017 the pop culture world was reintroduced to the tale when It came to the big screen, and it certainly made an impression. In the case of this Film Adventurer It was a frightening sight to behold as its stellar sense of story and character was only matched by its creative scares. Needless to say It was a horror film to remember, but it would not be the end of this story as two years later It Chapter Two would creep onto the silver screen. Once again directed by Andy Mushietti Chapter Two centers on the second part of the novel which features the losers club as adults. Aside from following up its predecessor I was curious to see just how this finale would wrap up. After experiencing all 2 hours and 49 minutes of this horror film I can say with certainty that It Chapter Two was both a worthy conclusion to this frightening adaptation.

Spider-Man Far From Home Review: Marvel Sequel Slings a Stellar Web!

Out of the superheroes out there I have always been a fan of Marvel’s iconic web slinger Spider-Man. From his quips to his relatability the Wall Crawler has been a cherished character to me in not just comic books, but pop culture as well. In the case of movies Spider-Man has had his share of hits and misses, but each entry in the franchise has brought something to the table; even Spider-Man 3 has something to offer, though its contributions comes in small doses. Recently Spider-Man has swung into a much bigger world since joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It began with the character appearing in Captain America: Civil War, followed by the Web Slinger’s own adventure,Spider-Man: Homecoming, and then the hero found himself in the massive blockbuster Avengers: Infinity War. Now the Webhead finds himself on a global adventure in Spider-Man: Far From Home. Directed by Jon Watts (the director of Homecoming) Far From Home is not only the next chapter for Spider-Man but is also the last part in Marvel’s Phase 3 ;which brings the Infinity Saga to a close. Despite my previous statement I have been apprehensive about this sequel as, not only am I just tired of the MCU, I have found Spider-Man’s direction in the shared universe to be problematic. So I was concerned going into this superhero movie, but after seeing it I found myself quite satisfied with Spider-Man: Far From Home
