Madness Poet: Comic Book and Movie Reviews

Jumanji (1995) is a movie directed by Joe Johnston and stars the deceased Robin Williams as Alan Parrish, a man who was stuck in a mystical board game after playing it as a boy. Alan, Sarah Whittle (Bonnie Hunt) and two young kids, Judy Shepherd (Kirsten Dunst) and Peter Shepherd (Bradley Pierce) have to finish the game Alan started as a boy, before it destroys the entire twon. Since a young age, I loved this movie, Robin Williams was so entertaining and charismatic, and the effects were not bad for the time it was released. Now in my adult life, I can see more than cool effects, funny moments and the typical happy ending. In the beginning of the movie, we get broken characters that are put in a dangerous situation and are forced to face their fears in order to prevent more destruction. Its a cool character development movie with very subtle details. Alan Parrish starts the movie as a kid tormented by bullies and has a rough relationship with his father, Sam Parrish, play...

Okay Guys, let’s talk about Alan Moore’s Watchmen graphic novel and awesome this comic book his. Ups, spoiler alert! It’s an awesome comic book and a must read. Watchmen world is an alternative world in the 80s, where Nixon is the president of United States of America and heroes are normal humans in masks and the only superhero (guy with powers) is Doctor Manhattan.

This comic book wasn’t an easy read, it took me several months to read, and probably i missed a lot of subtitle details. Unlike other superhero comic books, Watchmen has a lot of dialogue between characters, that serves to familiarize the reader wi...

Alien Covenant (2017) is a movie directed by Ridley Scott and is the direct sequel to Prometheus (2012). The movie answered some questions I didn't even knew I had, but made me question more things. Thanks a lot! There's something that appears in this movie and is connected with Alien (1979). They explained how that something was conceived, but I don't know how I feel about that explanation. I think there's things that don't need explanations. I guess is a bit nitpicking from my part, but it actually affects the first movie. One thing that happened in the end was too obvious it was going to happen, it was a bit lazy from my perspective. Stupid characters, why is there always stupid characters? Yeah I know, "there wouldn't be a plot! ". The last problem I had with the movie was, it made me think to much in the better sequels, in a action point of view. Once again, probably to much nitpicking of my part. For a sequel to a Prometheus movie, this ...
