Movie Review: Wicked (Part One)

 

I am probably the last blogger to see this movie, but I finally went to see it this week. Going in I didn't really know the story at all. I've never seen the stage production or anything. For those of you also in the dark: it's a prequel to a little known story called "Wizard of Oz". I will call it a movie about 2 friends. The whole movie is phenomenal, but Ariana Grande plays the role of Glinda very well (she is a believable mean girl, but also sells the nice girl thing really well too). I think the real standout though is Cynthia Erivo. I don't want to spoil anything, but there are two very special cameos. I suggest you all go see it this weekend! I rank it 5 out of 5!

Movie Review: Bad Boys: Ride or Die

Bad Boys is my favorite film series, but I think they could've stopped at the 3rd movie. I am very happy that most of the cast from the previous movie made their return for this one (especially Vanessa Hudgens), but I don't think it lived up to the series' high standards. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't awful by any means. I am kind of disappointed that Mike didn't end up with the captain though because thats where it seemed to be heading in the 3rd movie. One word: Reggie.  I personally am giving it 4 out of 5 stars
