My Movie Review: The movie is unexpected feel good hit don't mind the critics and low rating! The Upside is such a cool sight odd-couple chemistry really works the comedic sketch comes out natural while the emotional tone hit in the right flow making the journey smooth and breezy! Kevin Hart is a gem in this movie the way he act here shows his ability make people laugh and realize things like in life you have know how to roll in the punches and don't give up on people:) This story show us there's a light in the end of the tunnel when you go a little bit further and live like a rock star don't be afraid to show your anger and don't care what people think you do you! There's a lot of life lessons here I didn't expect I just watch this movie because of it's beautiful backdrop never seen New York for a long time, I'm glad I get essence of the story with visuals:)

Audience Review: Just saw this movie last night, and I don't review movies much but I had to as I seen some negative criticism. Its been a long time since I seen a movie that touched me in the ways this one did. Kevin Hart showed he can play a much more diverse role. Yes he still had his comedic side which I definitely love seeing, but we saw a serious side of him as well. The team of Kevin Hart and Bryan Cranston didn't feel forced, you can visibly see they have a great bond together, they caught my attention, they made me feel what they were feeling every step of the way. I walked out thinking I haven't seen a movie like this in years, and I would watch it again. Kudos to everyone who took part in making this movie and those who were in it. If your second guessing because of reviews you've seen, just go watch this you won't regret it:)

My Movie Review: The movie is goofy adventure that entertain in a blast but not spontaneous! The Kid Who Would Be King calls on modern take of Arthurian legend for the tween set that do good in children sake and young at heart yet doesn't really satisfy the adult thinking individuals! Louis George Serkis is really cute looks chubby on the face but not really fat in the body when I'm a child wish to look like that yet me it's the opposite look thin in the face but fat in the body:) It has glimpse of brilliance when it comes from fight scenes like students on training for a battle and adorable humor coming from the best friend I can relate to that just like me and my friend:) What makes feel off is the uneven ride the transition from one scene to another is not polish the supposed final act disappoint and my friend said that's it while I'm still rooting for it and I'm right the last make it feel grand with impressive school effort though it seem stretch and longer!

Movie News: We have our first major box office flop of 2019. The Kid Who Would Be King, Fox's new kid-friendly take on the legend of King Arthur is, unfortunately, going to walk away with the distinction. The movie open this past weekend and numbers were far from impressive for almost any movie, let alone a giant fantasy blockbuster with a huge marketing budget. With that taken into account, Fox could stand to lose tens of millions of dollars as a result. According to insiders at rival studios, the movie could lose as much as $50 million. As of this writing, it's grossed just $10.8 million worldwide, including $7.5 million domestically. Granted, it still has quite a few markets to open in around the world like United Kingdom where expected to have a reasonably large audience. For what it's worth doesn't account for home video sales and other ancillary revenue streams. Fox expect that international box office ticket sale bring profitability:)

My Movie Review: The movie is impressive for a regular viewer but for the critic it's otherwise! Glass is such a tease giving us access to the past we never expect before and after it was all said and than we know nothing at all on what's ahead in this superhero trilogy nice is very now! This movie is clever but not clever enough the characters were limit in few places it would be better if there were beyond the mental facility and felt like their ability was not fully unleashed:0 James McAvoy is the center of attention felt like he stole the show wish it went to new direction Split was his thing this is like sequel to that there's not much add factor it must be about Glass! It's really enjoyable on so many levels as a movie but as conclusion to the trilogy is not enough they missed a golden opportunity when they choose to be small and personal where in fact they could be big and epic-- the last act may leave some silver linings that's worthy to debacle!!

Movie News: At the very end of his last film, 2016’s Split, M. Night Shyamalan pulled off a twist that made his previous ones look like gentle curves. Revealing that multi-personality serial killer Kevin Wendell Crumb (McAvoy) exists in the same universe as Unbreakable’s David Dunn (Willis). The answer, Glass, is a thriller that’s undeniably bold, but which struggles to mesh together the two moods in an effective fashion. Kevin is the character who dominates the film, with McAvoy on stand-out form again, toggling effortlessly between different voices and emotions, and managing to keep The Beast frightening even with prolonged screen time. But after a relatively action-packed opening that climaxes with Dunn squaring off against the supernatural maniac, both of them are confined to a creepy asylum, along with the titular Mr Glass (Samuel L Jackson) and the film slows to Unbreakable pace and (Sarah Paulson) snap!!
