Review - The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions (2003)

         Hey guys, Chuck here. Well, CinemaCon in Las Vegas happened earlier this week, and while I did not attend, one confirmation that was announced at the event got me excited for what is easily my most anticipated film of 2021, and that is the upcoming fourth entry of The Matrix series: The Matrix Resurrections . While the trailer that debuted at CinemaCon is not yet online, I definitely look forward to when it is online, and I am definitely excited to see the return of a generation-defining sci-fi franchise. That said, let's dive into the two films of The Matrix series we haven't reviewed yet: The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions . Released, respectively, in May and November of 2003, these two films were shot back-to-back, so it makes sense to review them together. So, let's dive into The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions.        So, Reloaded opens with Trinity driving a motorcycle into a guard station, followed by her beating the crap out of the

And how does the man that made the Guardians of the Galaxy movies successful fare with Task Force X?

Returning members of the Suicide Squad include Col.

Review - The Blues Brothers (1980) & Blues Brothers 2000 (1998)

         Hey guys, Chuck here. Lately, I've been spending a lot of time rewatching two movies that my dad and I thoroughly enjoy. The first he showed me after buying it on VHS, and the second he took me to see at one of our local movie theaters. I'm talking about the 1980 musical comedy The Blues Brothers  and its 1998 sequel Blues Brothers 2000 .            The Blues Brothers  opens with Jake Blues, played by John Belushi, getting released from Joliet prison in Illinois after serving three years of a five-year sentence. Jake's brother Elwood Blues, played by Dan Aykroyd, picks Jake up in a 1974 Dodge Monaco that Elwood picked up at a police auction. The Blues Brothers then head to their childhood home: the St. Helen of the Blessed Shroud orphanage in Calumet City. The brothers meet with the nun who runs the orphanage, Sister Mary Stigmata aka The Penguin, played by Kathleen Freeman. The Penguin informs the brothers that the Cook County Assessor's office wants $5,000 in
