Santi's Film & TV Talks

Hi, Everybody! This blog post is a highlight of Emma Watson's acting career. Today I saw on Twitter that she is retiring from acting to focus more on her activism, while these are speculative rumors at this point, for now let's look back on the Harry Potter actress' best roles. 10. Lena- The Colony While this historical thriller had very harsh reviews from mostly Chileans due to historical accuracy and that it was sentimental to say the very least, there's no denying that Watson's performance was a highlight. Taking place in early 1970s Chile during the Chile Military coup, it follows Lena as she infiltrates the militia group to rescue her boyfriend. Despite the film's shortcomings, her determination was captivating to watch. 9. Ila- Noah Darren Aronofsky's Noah was by no means a masterpiece, but this biblical epic had some highlights including Emma's performance as Ila, the significant other to Douglas Booth's character, Shem. While Ila's name w...

  Hello, Everybody! Today I'm reviewing Judas and the Black Messiah, a film that came out in both theaters and HBO Max.  It follows Bill O' Neal, a car thief who is taken into custody by the FBI and he becomes an informant and infiltrates the Illinois Black Panther Party led by Fred Hampton.  Judas & the Black Messiah stars LaKeith Stanfield, Daniel Kaluuya, Jesse Plemons, Dominique Fishback, Ashton Sanders, Algee Smith, Dominique Thorne, Jermaine Fowler, Terayle Hill, Martin Sheen, Lil Rel Howery, Nick Fink, Darrell Britt-Gibson, Caleb Eberhardt and Tyra Joy Smith and is written and directed by Shaka King.  This film puts the Black Panther Party front and center for the first time in a major Hollywood film and it's the most well-acted, smart and powerful film I've ever seen and I can say that for a lot of movies, but this cinematic experience is already the best film of 2021(so far).  One of the film's virtues is that it gave a sense of who Fred Hampton was...

Hey, People of Earth! Today I did a list of the best animated movies from Blue Sky Animation. On February 9th, 2021, it was announced that Blue Sky will shut down in a couple months due to the fact that Disney didn't have money to support. This is truly a tragic end to a respect animated studio and this list is a culmination of their respected filmography. 9. Epic While "Epic" had the same narrative from FernGully: The Last Rainforest, that doesn't mean that this film isn't a great watch. Epic follows Mary-Katherine, who has an estranged relationship with her father and grows impatient with her dad's tales of little people in the forest. However, when she's transported to a mythic realm, she joins a race of beings known as the Leafmen to fight the enemies known as Mandrake and his boggans, gaining a new perspective. Directed by Chris Wedge, who helmed Ice Age, Epic benefits from great animation and awesome voice cast consisting of Amanda Seyfried, Jason Su...

  Hey, Everybody! Today I am finally going to review the Netflix Original film Malcolm & Marie!  The film stars Golden Globe nominee John David Washington and Emmy winner Zendaya and is written and directed by Sam Levinson.  There are minor spoilers, so you might wanna watch the movie first before you read my review. Filmed during the summer of 2020 during the pandemic, and the movie sure does feel like that takes place during a pandemic, and shot in Black & White, Malcolm & Marie is mind-numbingly repetitive but Washington and Zendaya's performance makes the experience bearable. Although Sam Levinson's direction is interesting to look at and the dialogue is spot on. John David Washington plays Malcolm Elliot, an up-and-coming indie filmmaker hot off his latest film, while Zendaya plays his girlfriend, Marie, a former actress whose struggles with addiction have influenced Malcolm's film. Taking place during the evening, the story begins as the couple arrive at...
