Geekatana Review - Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn - Harley Quinn and Others

Birds of Prey  superhero film based on the team Birds of Prey comics from DC. It is the eighth film in the DC Extended Universe, and both a follow-up to and spin-off of Suicide Squad (2016). Directed by Cathy Yan and written by Christina Hodson, and stars Margot Robbie, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Rosie Perez, Chris Messina, Ella Jay Basco, Ali Wong, and Ewan McGregor.

This is a bit of an overdue movie review so bear with me on this one. I also like to point out before we get into it all that I haven't watched Suicide Squad so I won't be comparing or referencing it as I do the review for this film. Also there might also be minor spoilers.

Geekatana Movie Review: Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Being a kid growing up in the 80's I fancy myself as a TMNT fan watching it on television every saturday morning regularly back in 1984 onwards. Then the first ever Batman film came out two years later. Even back then it never in my wildest dreams I'm going to see batman and the pizza loving turtles crossing path specially in a full length movie feature. Then we fast forward to 2019 and we got Batman versus Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I could never be happier.

The movie is loosely based on the comic book with the same title that came out back in December 2015. I haven't read the comics yet but did some research on it before writing this review so don't expect me to make too much comparisons on the comics. Also probably some minor spoilers in this one.

Geekatana Movie Review: Pokemon: Detective Pikachu

Video game to movie films have a long line of bad reputation. Titles like Doom, Resident Evil, Street Fighter and the likes entertaining as they have a tendency fail to live up to the video game they are based upon so when a movie based on Pokemon comes along you can't help but have low expectations. The trailer promising as it seems isn't really that reassuring. And abomination of a trailer that was Sonic the Hedgehog certainly isn't helping any either.

I am not a fan of Pokemon and my knowledge of it stems from a few matches of playing Pokemon Arena. Not to mention I can only name at the most five Pokemon right on the top of my head. But still the trailer intrigued me enough to go see it and I won't hold the movie down cause of my lack of Pokemon knowledge.

Small Foot Movie Review

Judging by the trailers Small Foot looks and feels so much like your typical animated movies. A civilization of monsters or in this case Yeti that hides from the rest of the human world. It does feels a lot like Hotel Transylvania all over again and the ice covered setting feels a lot like Ice Age as well. As trailers go this movie is off to a rough start.

But as true moviegoers often phrase it "Never judge a movie by its trailers'" So despite the sudden rain and nearly cancelling our reserved seats we decided to judge the movie as a whole and I'm so glad to say that this movie is its own thing and more.
