The Incredibles





One of the most popular animated films in Hollywood with an IMDB rating of 8/10 and grossed $633 million at the box office, The Incredibles has been of of the most successful feature films. The movie explores complexities within super humans. The Incredibles highlights ideas about family, values and morals. Although some of the themes of the film might not be aged appropriate for children such as scenes of passenger planes exploding, destruction of public property and scenes manipulation of main characters perceived to be good, the reviews of the movie have been overall positive. 

The Incredibles, directed by Brad Bird has done a terrific job in showcasing an idea of a simple superhero, fictitious movie into a morally significant piece of art where it shows the basics of a regular household of 4 members with regular problems in a regular world. However, when Mr. Incredible receives a call to go to a ‘conference’, his whole life is reversed where he is able to relive his past glories of savings lives as a strong man before he was married to Mrs. Incredible, an elastic woman who is able to shape-shift. At first he thought it was an opportunity of a lifetime but he soon realises that's not the case. In this case plot thickens when the entire family all having different powers and together are able to use them to their advantage to defeat evil.

This movie is entertaining with a regular superhero movie with references to everyday life where Mr. Incredible is a strong man, working a dead-end job and not utilising his entire skillset.


If you haven’t already, I highly recommend watching this movie with family, friends or both. It’s fun for all parties involves with plenty of laughs to go accompany it.

Fate of the Furious

The wait has finally come to an end, the latest from the F&F series is finally here! This movie is an absolute blockbuster, passing a billion dollars at the global box office and shattering the previous record that The Force Awakens has set. The movie still keeps its style with car chases and cool explosions here and there, not to mention the anticipated fight scenes between the toughest characters. Going into the movie with the trailer in mind, the combination of the two really sinks in and blends beautifully. If you're an F&F die hard fan, then prepare yourself for your movie of the year. The Fate of The Furious had a perfect combination of drama, action, and comedy. The romantic drama with Dom &Letty, the energetic rivalry between Hobbs & Deckard, and of course the bursting comedy between Tej and Roman. All of these factors mash up to provide the viewers with a guaranteed brilliant cinematic experience. As a true fan myself, I had many...

Indiana Jones - Raiders of the Lost Ark

Taking it back to another old school movie this week; Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark. I first watched this movie when I was about 12 and have watched it countless times since and could watch it a million times more. This movie keeps you hooked from beginning to end with an incredible and upbeat soundtrack, fast paced adventure, incredible fight scenes and successive suspenseful, death-defying cliff-hangers. The special effects are amazing for the time period the movie was made, and the fact that old school methods (no CGI) were used to create the special effects makes this movie that much more remarkable. Like many other action movies, Raiders also has a bit of romance thrown in there. However, unlike other movies where the female lead is often a damsel in distress who constantly needs rescuing, in Raiders the female lead, Marion, is a hardcore and formidable woman who can definitely take care of herself. Now of course I can’t write about Raider without mentioning...

The School Of Rock

If you haven’t guessed by now, my favourite types of movies are those with amazing sound tracks. So sticking with that theme, let’s talk about The School of Rock. This musical comedy follows the story of a rock musician Dewey, played by Jack Black, who gets kicked out of his band and then impersonates his roommate, a substitute teacher at a prep school, to make some cash. Soon after, Dewey discovers the kids are amazing musicians and teaches them the ways of rock, in an attempt to win Battle of the Bands and the accompanying prize money.  The sound track to this movie is filled with some great classic rock songs including “Back in Black” by AC/DC, “Immigrant Song” by Led Zeppelin and “Edge of Seventeen” by Stevie Nicks. The other thing I love about the soundtrack in this movie is that it showcases the amazing talent of young musicians. And of course, they couldn’t have cast a better actor/musician main character; Jack Black’s energy, comedic facial expressions and musi...
