Candy magnate Herschel Savage finds himself in the middle of a whole lot of dirty dealings in this raucous romp. Savage plays the owner of a chocolate company, but lately he's been running up against more than his fair share of problems. His wife Lois Ayres is trying to seduce their own son, his ex-wife is financing a rival chocolate company with his alimony payments, and he's finding himself increasingly attracted to Nina Hartley, the daughter of the rival chocolatier. As if that weren't enough to give a candyman a headache, now it seems that the rival Harlem Candy Company has introduced an aphrodisiac element into their chocolates, making them even more in demand throughout the city.
Two Summers ago, on May 27th, 2022, the theatrical cinematic realms were re-awakened from their post-COVID dormant state of being by a little film titled "Top Gun: Maverick". It re-introduced us to the absolute elation of seeing not only a highly anticipated (and, granted, 36 years in the making!) sequel, but the return of the quintessential Summer blockbuster to witness on the BIG screen again.
It's good for your film viewing needs, but isn’t going to shake your world. Demonic is trippy sci-fi fun, and that’s about it. And that's pretty cool.
Animation as a medium of storytelling can be thought to be open to all ages and as I hope my reading will reveal, 'Nimona' could be interpreted as a transgender story.
This horror, action, and fantasy movie released on Disney+ has a symbolic aspect.
"The Old Guard" doesn't break ground, but it sure does bust boredom and fictional heads as an entertaining action romp on Netflix.
What seems like such a simple story of survival is so much more than that—it’s a story of family, and of war, and of destruction. It’s painful to watch, but not in a bad way. It makes its audience reflect on their own actions, and in how they are complicit in the sufferings of others as the adults in this film are. Grave of the Fireflies does not hold back from being heartbreaking, and it shouldn’t. It tells a message that needs to be heard decades after the war, and a story that cannot be forgotten by history.
