A unique ring has been stolen from the Hermitage! A rare artifact that has been passed down from generation to generation of the imperial dynasty has disappeared! A detective agency, 'Michelle,' has taken on the search. However, they face unprecedented pressure. It is at this point that a true journalism ace, paparazzo Yegor Leonov, gets involved in the investigation. For him, this is a way to earn money, as it is already known that General Burlyaev, criminal authority Vasily, and monarchist Prince Sokolov are involved in the theft! The main task for Yegor and the staff of the 'Michelle' agency is not just to find and return the ring to the Hermitage, but to do so discreetly. After all, the loss of such a rarity could cause an international scandal!
Overall, Cruella stands above the other Disney retellings. Its dark and bold, and that is exactly what these retellings should be. Emma Stone continues to prove she's one of the finest young actresses working today, and Emma Thompson gives one of the best villain performances in the last decade. The fashion is stunning, the dogs are adorable, and the story is wildly vibrant and original. It's classic movie fun, and it shouldn't be overlooked.
I’m disappointed in The Woman in Cabin 10, but that’s at least in part because of my love of Ruth Ware’s novel.
As an extremely avid fan of DC’s animation, I’ve become familiar with the way the studio uses Batman as a bit of a Trojan Horse to introduce some of their lesser known characters.
The newest in a long line of Cinderella adaptations, Amazon’s Cinderella (2021) prizes girlbossification above the very story it tries to adapt.
There were too many irrelevant parts that could have been shortened, and too many characters that didn't advance the plot. Either way, some things didn't add up. This was just another played out plot with little, if any, originality in it. By the end of the film, I wasn't happy that she finally got her freedom, I was happy that it was finally over.
