The Cinematic Review-verse

Hello, Review-Verse audience! Since it's been a month since Spider-Man: Brand New Day was released, I think it is now safe to go from my abridged review  to a more in-depth one.

When I saw Brand New Day in 3D, it was full of surprises I didn't expect. One was Sadie Sink of Stranger Things fame was playing Jean Grey . Jean and her sister Sara Grey , who I didn't know about till I saw the movie, and their telepathic powers made them a threat to Damage Control from Homecoming.  Sadie Sink as Jean Grey in Spider-Man: Brand New Day .

Though I wish there was a bit more of an explanation for Jean's background, even if it was the usual Professor-X-trying-to-bring-out-her-best-self-with-her-mutation trope, I did like Sink's inclusion in the film...

Good afternoon, Review-Verse readers! Today on The Cinematic Review-Verse , I’m going to be discussing The End of Oak Street . It’s a science fiction and survival film starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor . Hathaway and McGregor are Denise and Greg Platt , a matriarch and patriarch of a family of two kids trying to deal with Denise’s aspiring novelist work and Greg working a pizza delivery job after being laid off from prior work, all in 1982 in the town of Flowervale, Michigan .

I went to see the musical at one of my AMC Theatre establishments without knowing much about what it was. All I knew was it was musical on Broadway that I could see for free thanks to my job. But I was amazed at the end result. The six chicks (I call them that based on 13 Going on 30) were fabulous. It was fun how they had chemistry arguing like girls gossiping over who got the worst of it married to Henry. I’ve got to learn the soundtrack, but the very funny parts to me included O’Connell’s Anne Boleyn’s singing “Don’t Lose Ur Head” and McInt...
