Sonic the Hedgehog is a video game adaptation movie that was created by Sega.  About a year ago a trailer was shown for the movie showcasing a very unappealing looking Sonic, after much hate towards this Sonic, the animators changed out this unacceptable Sonic with a more canon looking Sonic. Despite not knowing much about Sonic lore or having played many of the games in the past, I still understood most of what was going on in the film and the various easter eggs hidden throughout it. Jim Carrey played Dr. Robotnik perfectly, he was extremely quirky and fit the personality of Robotnik. Ben Schwartz , the voice of Sonic gave him the personality that he needed: unaware of his surroundings, comedic, childlike and had a lack of self-preservation. Even though Sonic is a fast-paced character, the story, on the other hand, is quite slow a lot of the time. Here is a cool bit of information about the film you may not have known about, part of the filming was done in a small town on Vancouver

Dear Evan Hansen is a book turned musical about a high school student whose life changed forever when his bully found the mental health letters he has been writing to himself. The story slowly spirals out of control as Evan Hansen lies about his relationship with his bully, stating that he was his best and only friend. The story is extremely realistic and showcases what would happen in real life with social media and the death of a classmate. The show is extremely well done for both sound and lighting, one thing about the lighting though, near the end of the show there is a large blue screen used that is very blinding even if you do expect it. Though Dear Evan Hansen is extremely dark, there is a lot of comedic relief throughout the show to compensate for the dark tone of it. #youwillbefound 7 M&M'S in your popcorn out of 10. Next up on the list Sonic the Hedgehog featuring James Marsden and Jim Carrey.

Birds of Prey is a fantastic action film featuring Margot Robbie and Ewan McGregor . The great thing with this kind of flick is that even if it is story-driven there is no need to actually pay attention to the story with the amount of chaos and visual effects going on on-screen. Visually, this film is near-perfect. The story, on the other hand, is extremely basic, it is the "the antagonist is looking for a gem/diamond". Margot Robbie plays Harley Quinn perfectly and there is absolutely no competition for a better Harley Quinn. Ewan McGregor as Black Mask though is very one-dimensional as a character he has one goal and only one emotion, rage.  Though this film is about the Birds Of Prey it felt more like a Harley Quinn movie as the Birds Of Prey were introduced extremely late. The title of the film could have been reversed and it would have been a more accurate movie. Despite these small issues, it is still a fantastic DC movie. 7 M&M'S in your popcorn out of 10.

Colour Out Of Space is a science fiction/horror movie that was originally a short story written by H.P. Lovecraft . The movie showcases one of H.P. Lovecraft's Old Gods as well as the effects it has on the human psyche.  The film features Nicolas Cage and Tommy Chong.   It is an extremely edgy film that in most cases will make you squirm in your seat trying to understand the world within this film. Without spoiling anything about this film, I will clarify that this is not a mainstream film where you can just relax and casually absorb what you are watching, this is a film that is difficult to watch in terms of story but is still visually appealing with the vibrant colours used. It is extremely hard to get a firm grasp on the emotions of the characters as they are ever-changing and unpredictable. Overall, this movie is extremely fun to watch and has an unpredictable story so you'll never know what to expect next. This film efficiently showcases each character and their relevance
