Pitch Perfect 3: A Fitting Ending To the Trilogy

Over 5 years ago, there were a group of actresses who teamed up to put on the best female acapella performance film has ever seen. Well, the cast and crew of Pitch Perfect 3 poured their hearts out for the trilogy to finish its run in a grand way. After most of the group graduated from college, Beca (Anna Kendrick), Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson), and the rest of the Barden Bellas decide to come together for one last performance, contending with other musical groups, at a USO (United States Organizations) tour.

 I think this is one for the records for Universal Studios. It was a bit dejecting to see that the franchise had to go soon. But, it was more uplifting when I witnessed the ladies finish what they started the best way how: together. With great new cast additions, whimsical moments of jokes and/or insults towards competition, and well-rehearsed covering of classic songs, Britney Spears' "Toxic", for example, it was an overall joyous and fitting ending to the Pitch Perfect trilogy. However, what could have been done a little better was bringing some of the male characters back, such as Ben Platt, and I didn't view the story about John Lithgow's character to be really necessary. Aside from those two, it was good to see the girls assemble for one more time.

Superman-Great Past and New Hero Magic

Superman (2025) poster. Courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures. James Gunn's iteration of  Superman  was a well-thought-out film. I give it a 9.4/10 for both the occasional references to the Christopher Reeve film from the late 1970s and for standing out with different presentations of the iconic Man of Steel and his colorful supporting characters. This was my first time seeing David Corenswet, but he was great acting out the drama and heroism in the lives of Clark Kent and Superman. It was also great to see Rachel Brosnahan bring some gumption and humor to her role of Superman's love interest, Lois Lane, and it was great to see former X-Men actor Nicholas Hoult bring some vigor to his role of Superman's ruthless archenemy, Lex Luthor. In this Superman, it stood out by skipping the intro of Kal-El leaving Krypton as a baby and instead showing Superman, played by Corenswet, in his third year of protecting Metropolis and the world. In his quest to prove Superman a threat to humani...

'Karate Kid: Legends": Fought Like a Champ

Ben Wang as Li Fong in 'Karate Kid: Legends.' Courtesy of Sony Pictures. Good evening, readers and viewers.  Yesterday afternoon, I had the pleasure of watching 'Karate Kid: Legends.' It was so wonderful how they bridged together Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio's worlds in the 'Karate Kid' franchise, made beautiful representation of Chinese culture and New York City living, displayed wonderful drama and heart in Ben Wang's role as main protagonist Li Fong, showed cute and funny chemistry between Wang's character and Sadie Stanley's character, how he offered his own funny training montage with Joshua Jackson's character, and how the heroes and villains fought like champs with fast-paced martial arts kicking, punching, chopping. 'Legends' was a great combination of drama, action, comedy, and coming-of-age, and I give it a 9.5 out of 10. Taking place years after Chan's Karate Kid, Li Fong, played by Wang, and his mother, played by Ming...

Ava DuVernay's 'Origin' Was Heartbreaking Yet Uplifting

 "Caste is a system that decides one kind deserves more freedom than another."  "You should love who you love and go where you want." Isabel Wilkerson , first woman of African-American heritage to win a Pulitzer Prize in journalism, and author of Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents . Photo courtesy of isabelwilkerson.com Ava DuVernay's 'Origin' stars Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor as Isabel Wilkerson . Photo courtesy of Neon. The above quotes were paraphrased from Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor 's portrayal of Pulitzer-winning Isabel Wilkerson in Ava DuVernay's 'Origin '. They were denouncing the harsh caste system against races all over the world, and favoring that we should get to be with who we want to love and live our lives without anyone or thing tearing us down. ' Origin ' is about Wilkerson's journalistic journey to understand the why behind the murder of Tray'von Martin (whose birthday is today) and the racist caste systems ag...
