Love, Simon Film Review By Logan Coleman

            Love, Simon is the latest theatrical film directed by Greg Berlanti. I was able to get a ticket to the sneak preview screening of the film last night, because the wide release for the United States of America is March 16, 2018. This film feels like a modern-day John Hughes film. The film’s basic plot is when a closeted gay teen finds about another gay teen on school chat board and it deals with he coming to term that he is gay. The film had one of the best soundtracks of the year.

           The one thing I must stress this film is most idealistic family for a family member to come out as gay. This is not a reality some gay teens who come out of the closet while still living at home. The actors and actress that includes Nick Robinson, Josh Duhamel, Jennifer Garner, Katherine Langford, Alexandra Shipp, Keiynan Lonsdale, Natasha Rothwell performances were spot on.

          This film does have some Liberal values, but it does not take pot shots against conservatives. I can see this film getting Oscar nominations for best sound editing as well as best adapted screenplay for next years awards season. I believe this film is twenty minutes too long. I am giving this film 9 and ½ stars out of 10.

Every Day Film Review By Logan Coleman

            Every Day is the latest film starring Angourie Rice. All the actors did the best they could with the dialogue presented. The film does have form of LGBT characters in the film, but they do not define themselves as male or female when it comes to the main character. The films soundtrack is good. The only issue I had with the film is the ending which in my honest opinion it is so bleak, that it made wonder if they cut some footage out of the film to make it shorter. I am giving this film 7 stars out of 10.

Game Night Film Review By Logan Coleman

            Game Night is the latest starring film with Justin Bateman and Rachel McAdams. I will have to say that this film was great surprise to have a smart R-rated Dark comedy. Justin Bateman and Rachel McAdams have terrific chemistry in film. The performances of Billy Magnussen, Sharon Horgan, Lamorne Morris, Kylie Bunbury, Michael C. Hall, and Kyle Chandler were spot on. I honestly believe Jesse Plemons gave the performance of his career while channeling Michael Shannon performance in Natural Animals.

           John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein direction of this film was major comeback considering their first film was Vacation, I hope they do direct the Flashpoint film but only if the writer of this film comes along to write the Flashpoint film. I can see this film being nominated for an Oscar for best original screenplay for next years awards season. I had two small issues with film one was a joke that I found offensive, next was that the film was ten minutes too long. I am going against most other film critics; I am giving this film 9 and ¾ stars out of 10.

Annihilation Film Review By Logan Coleman

            Annihilation is Alex Garland follow up film to Ex Machina. I would describe this film as a noir version of Predator with a female cast meets Arrival. The performances of Natalie Portman, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, Tuva Novotny were outstanding. I can see this film being nominated for nest season Oscars for best sound editing, best art direction and best cinematography. For some people this film might be too much science for them to understand. The film was twenty-five minutes too long. There was one issue with the film in my opinion it showed too much gore, they could have implied it off screen and the effect would have been more impactful. I am giving this film 8 stars out of 10.

Black Panther Film Review By Logan Coleman

           Black Panther is the latest film directed by Ryan Coogler. I will start out with the performances that were good which are Chadwick Boseman, Lupita Nyong’o, Martin Freeman, Daniel Kaluuya, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker, Andy Serkis. Sterling K Brown has a very small role in the film, but you can feel his impressive performance in throughout the entire film. This film is a little bit different when it comes to amount of blood due to the different forms combat that is in the film. This film has references from Star Wars Episode 1 the Phantom Menace, 007 films, Kingsman films, Batman Begins and the Dark Knight. Winston Duke in my opinion is the breakout star in the film and I would encourage people to look at him for more work in the future.

           I can honestly say that I did realize that he had small role on Modern Family. The performance of Letitia Wright reminded me in the best way of Q from 007 franchise. Danai Gurira performance reminded me of Viola Davis ferocity meets the agility of her character from the Walking Dead. Michael B. Jordan is the performance that I am still on the fence about I would describe of having elements of Malcom X, Blown Away, the Dark Knight, Déjà Vu. I can see this film being nominated for the 91^st Oscars for best score, cinematography and costume design. My only real complaint with the film was with one of the special effects in the scene seemed not to be finished. I am going against most other film critics; I am giving this film 9 and ¾ stars out of 10.

Winchester Film Review By Logan Coleman

            Winchester is the latest film directed by the Spierig Brothers. The performances that stood out were Helen Mirren, Jason Clarke, Sarah Snook. The film is good haunted house movie. I can this film being nominated for Oscars for best costume design and best set design for next seasons awards. I must say that the editing was great. I am going against most other film critics; I am giving this film 8 stars out of 10.

Bilal: A New Breed of Hero Film Review By Logan Coleman

            Bilal: A New Breed of Hero are from the directors Khurram H. Alavi and Ayman Jamal. This country of this film was made for United Arab Emirates, it released overseas 2015 but just recently released in the United States in this month. This animated film is based on the life Bilal ibn Rabah, who was a companion in his later life to the prophet Muhammad. I honestly the enjoyed animation because it not the typical animation you see today and it reminds me more of the Prince of Egypt meets the animation of the humans from the Shrek films.

            I would suggest to parents this a PG-13 film for reasons of violence that is not horrendous. When it comes to the religious part of the film which is about Islam, the religion not directly mentioned but most people will realize what the story is about. I do believe the people of different religions will like this film because it points out the extremist people that are in the same religion as well as the non-extremists. The films editing was off as well. I am going against most other film critics; I am giving this film 8 stars out of 10.

Peter Rabbit (2018) Film Review By Logan Coleman

            Peter Rabbit (2018) is the latest film directed by Will Gluck. All the actors and actresses including voice work did a great job. The film story is having something for the kids as well as the adults. This film has some of the best comedy scenes this year. The films editing was off as well. I am going against most other film critics; I am giving this film 7 stars out of 10.

The 15:17 to Paris Film Review By Logan Coleman

            The 15:17 to Paris is the latest film by directed by Clint Eastwood. I had high hopes and then the film started. The first thing I must say that the script was horrible and it probably needed two rewrites. I also had issues with how the film took pot shots against public schools, and public school teachers as well. The real-life people who were the main cast did the best job they could do with the dialogue presented. The one acting performance that was surprising good was Jaleel White.

           The film was not paced well at all and there were too many back and forth time jumps in the film that will confuse the audience. One of the main issues I had with the film how shot two scenes with females in it, which in my opinion the camera placements was kind of sleazy. I had  There are two strobe lights in the film that could affect people who have photosensitive seizures. The films editing was off as well. I am going against most other film critics; I am giving this film 5 stars out of 10.
