Ocean's 8

I saw Ocean's 8 today. It is a female-led version of the 2001 heist film Ocean's Eleven. The film was entertaining, and I enjoyed it. This is how I see it.


Scarlet Overkill (voice of Sandra Bullock, Minions*) teams up with Lady Tremaine (Cate Blanchett, Cinderella), Selina Kyle/Catwoman (Anne Hathaway, The Dark Knight Rises), Tip Tucci (voice of Rihanna, Home*), Disgust (voice of Mindy Kaling, Inside Out*), and Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter, Harry Potter) to get revenge on Heinz Kruger (Richard Armitage, Captain America: The First Avenger) for betraying her to the police. Peter Rabbit (voice of James Corden, Peter Rabbit) is an insurance agent.

Movie Matchups: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2 vs. Avengers: Endgame

Every story has an end. The 2019 science fiction superhero film  Avengers: Endgame  provided closure for the Infinity Saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, becoming the highest-grossing film of all time in the process, but the story is basically the same as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2 , the grand finale of the Harry Potter film series and the highest-grossing film of Warner Bros. and its parent company WarnerMedia. Let me tell you why. After suffering heavy casualties in a previous film ( Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 1 / Avengers: Infinity War ), the series' original leads (Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger/Tony Stark/Iron Man, Steve Rogers/Captain America/ Bruce Banner/Hulk, Thor, Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, and Clint Barton/Hawkeye), a newly rescued researcher with vast knowledge on advanced technology and otherworldly phenomena (Mr. Ollivander/Scott Lang/Ant-Man), a blonde-haired foreign woman (Fleur Delacour/Carol Danv...

The Lion King (1994) vs. The Jungle Book (2016)

Image
When I first saw the 2016 remake of Disney's The Jungle Book , I thought of a classic Disney animated movie:  The Lion King , which is also getting a remake in 2019. So in honour of the upcoming 2018 gritty adaptation Mowgli , let me tell you why they are the same story. In the wilderness of a third-world country (Kenya; India), the young son (Simba; Mowgli) of a well-respected animal leader (Mufasa; Akela) lives a happy life with a tribe of predators (lions; wolves) until his life is threatened (Mufasa's younger brother, Scar, covets the throne and plots to kill Mufasa and Simba so he can be king; vicious tiger Shere Khan resents man for burning his face with a dangerous force known as "the Red Flower" and wants to kill Mowgli as a result) by a scarred feline (Scar; Shere Khan). When the villain becomes a genuine threat (Scar tricks Simba and his betrothed, Nala, into going to the elephants' graveyard, where they are attacked by a group of spotted hyenas in lea...

Top 10 Prisons in Film

Hello, Toby Gold here and welcome to another Top 10 List. Today, I will be counting down my Top 10 Prisons in Film. For this list, I have chosen cinematic slammers where life is unbearable and escape is difficult, assuming the inmates succeed in breaking out. Prison is one of my greatest fears, and I do not want to have to face it in real life. For those of you who have not seen these movies, I will issue a spoiler alert, so you have been warned. Now, let's put on our jumpsuits and begin our sentence. 10. Erewhon Prison -- Face/Off  (1997) FBI agent Sean Archer uses an experimental plastic surgery procedure to disguise himself as his nemesis, terrorist mastermind Castor Troy, and infiltrate his gang. However, Troy uses the same procedure to disguise himself as Archer and infiltrates the latter's family while Archer-as-Troy is sent to Erewhon Prison, a high-tech private prison where the Geneva Convention does not apply. Erewhon, which is an anagram for "nowh...
