The Wrath of Becky I Review by: Stefano Bove

 




Becky is back and badder than ever. Two years after the events of BECKY, danger just seems to find her. While attempting to rebuild her life, she runs into a group of a-holes called the Noble Men. These alpha male, white supremacists are plotting an attack when their paths cross Becky and feel her wrath. Sean William Scott stars as Darryl, the Leader of the Noble Men and the worst of the bunch. I was extremely surprised at how much I enjoyed seeing Sean WIlliam Scott as a villain, he was menacing and at times, terrifying. Never get in the way of a man with a plan but he has never met Becky before so Darryl and the Noble Men may have met their match. 


Lulu Wilson absolutely dominates as Becky. Lulu is a few years older than she was in the first film, so she is much more confident and convincing as a murderer. Becky is basically a fusion of John Wick and Kevin McCallister when it comes to combat skills  as she demonstrates both physical tactical fighting, ability to use weapons and the improvisation of using random items and setting up traps. This combination allows for an interesting style of combat that makes Becky unique. 

I was expecting a standard revenge story but there were actually many plot twists that I was not expecting. There are definitely plans to expand Becky into a much larger world as the story develops, one in which I would have never expected could allow this film series to go three films or more, even if it does not make that much sense. 

Wrath of Becky is a very fun popcorn action movie that offers tons of laughs and bloody gore. If you did not come for that, then maybe it is for Sean William Scott in another awesome role but whatever it is, you are sure to have a good time. 

Wrath of Becky opens up in theatres June 9th, 2023

3/5

Boss Level Film Review

       Boss Level is a new addition to the time loop genre, with a twist. Ex-special forces officer, Roy Pulver, played by Frank Grillo, relives the same day until he dies. Every day he is hunted by assassins and when killed, he wakes up back in his bed where he started, only to have to try and survive all over again. Roy has no idea why he is stuck in this infinite time loop but he must do what he can to survive, and the longer he survives, the more he uncovers about his particular situation.  Unlike most action films that take time to build up, this film gets right into it and offers tons of non-stop combat sequences that would satisfy any lover of action films. Its erratic flow makes for some fun action scenes which come out of nowhere since Roy can expect the assassins to attack at any moment. If you play video games often and have ever been stuck on a level for hours or even days, you know the feeling of having to repeat the same thing over and over again u...

Godzilla vs. Kong Film Review

         Godzilla versus Kong is the action movie we have been longing for since all major blockbuster films pushed back their release dates. After three solo films between Kong and Godzilla, we finally see the two titans clash on film for the first time in what is the culmination of the Universal Monsterverse. The story is split nicely in two as team Kong and team Godzilla each have their own mission. Team Kong is on a secret mission to the center of the earth to uncover the mystery of the titans. This team consists of Dr. Nathan, Dr. Ilene, Maia, and the Youngest character in the film, Jia. Team Godzilla consists of Madison, Josh, and Bernie who are also on a secret mission, to infiltrate Apex Cybernetics with the theory that they are up to no good and are the reason why Godzilla has been acting up recently. The dynamics of the teams are well balanced as the Kong story provides us with serious and more action-heavy bits in contrast to the Apex team story that ...

Inside Out 2 | Review by: Stefano Bove

  Nine years ago, Pixar introduced us to Riley, a young girl who is trying to grow with change happening with herself and her family. Her emotions; joy, anger, sadness, fear and disgust help her through these difficult times.   Now two years, Riley is 13 and is going through new life changes physically and emotionally as she tries to grip with the reality that the rest of her life relies on how the next weekend goes. All of these changes spark new emotions to grow inside of her.  It is a tough time for Riley that she must overcome. It is a snapshot in time that is probably a big emotional trigger for audiences as well as we go on this journey with Riley. Taking the incredibly intricate memory world that was established in the first film, the sequel makes a few minor additions that allow it to feel familiar but still fresh enough to keep us engaged. Many of these new additions are some of the funniest moments in the entire series.  With more emotions and human charact...
