John Wick: A Review

After his wife died of a terminal illness, John Wick (Keanu Reeves) retired from assassination and moved to an isolated home. Wick received a beagle dog named Daisy a few days after her death as a farewell gift from her wife. They lived in harmony together. This peace, however, was disrupted one night by a group of Russian gangsters led by Iosef Tarasov (Alfie Allen). They beat up John Wick, stole his 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 and murdered his dog.

Horrified and upset by this, John Wick is forced to come back to ask for the payment from what was taken. It turns out he’s not just an ordinary assassin; he’s the most terrifying person in the world. The so-called Baba Yaga

What We Do in the Shadows – Movie Review

In Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi's terrific masterpiece film, three old-school vampires try to adjust to the modern world.

The film follows a group of vampires headed by the uneasy Viago Von Dorna Schmarten Scheden Heimburg (né von Blitzenberg), played by Taika Waititi. A movie crew follows him as he narrates his everyday life with the rebellious Deacon Brucke, played by Jonathan Brugh, the insecure Vladislav the Poker, played by Jemaine Clement, and the 8,000-year-old vampire Petyr, played by Ben Fransham.

Soon, the supposed-to-be dinner guest turned vampire, Nick, played by Cori Gonzalez-Macuer, joins them. His addition adds substance to the overarching narrative. He's a representation of modernity and youth, a direct contrast to Viago and his roomies.
