Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory Review

Summary: Based on the book by Roald Dahl, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is about a young man named Charlie Bucket. He lives with his family who is financially unstable, but when he earns a final golden ticket, he then gets to visit a chocolatier named Willy Wonka who is giving up his factory before retirement to one of the winners of the golden ticket.

Thoughts: I adore Gene Wilder. Ever since I saw this film, I wanted to see this actor in other films such as The Producers, Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles. RIP Gene, I will miss you. 

Rating: 10/10

Terminal Review

Summary: In this dystopian city, we look at a group of various assassins who tries to kill each other and what happens to them. 

Thoughts: The film was well shot and well written for two-thirds of the movie. And then the ending happened. Let’s just say it comes out of nowhere. I wouldn’t recommend it.  

Rating: 4/10

Fantastic Mr. Fox Review

Summary: Based on the book of the same name, Mr. Fox is told to retire from his job of stealing food from farmers for his wife. But, behind her back, he plans one last heist before it ends. 

Thoughts: Wes Anderson’s forre into animation is a success as he blends brilliant drama and comedy for all ages. This is my first Wes Anderson film and it is a good start if you are interested in his work.
