Review of “The Incredibles 2” (2018)
After fourteen years of little to no hints to a sequel, we finally got it. The same family of superheroes returned to the silver screen. And the beginning picks up from where the first movie ended.

Critique of “Monsters University” (2013)
I saw the first Monsters Inc. film in the movie theater when it first came out in 2001- 20 days before I turned 8. And then came the prequel, Monsters University, in 2013.

Critique of “Inside Out” (2015)
This film must have been so hard to produce. And that is what makes it so enjoyable. It probably involved a lot of studies behind the mind and emotions. There were actually going to be more emotions than the five the film created for Riley. But that didn’t work out. Enough said on the introduction.Continue reading “Critique of “Inside Out” (2015)”
