Ready Player One

If you are looking a popcorn action movie, heavy on the CGI and bullet count, this may be for you.
This movie is full of nostalgia! You will feel like Marty Mcfly in Back to the Future – going back in time, only in this case – a journey filled with absolute nostalgia of pop culture from the 80s and possible some early 90s.
The entire time you can spot references or so-called Easter eggs throughout the entire film. You get that feeling of being a kid again and reliving your childhood (if you grew up in those times) on a roller coaster ride! The nostalgia is not just other things you see throughout the film but also from some of the lines the characters in the story use, their gestures, and even clothing apparel! Not to mention, the music!
The film displays beautiful vivid colors of nonstop special effects and the action is very consistent without long dwelling scenes of nonsense found in other films. You feel like you’re enjoying an absolute retro filled vibe through the movie yet it doesn’t feel outdated at all – it feels modern and current with the times! It’s like Tron meets Wreck it Ralph w/ a small touch of The Wizard!

Isle of Dogs

Isle of Dogs is smart, funny, and quirky.
A dog flu virus spreads through the canine population of Megasaki City in Japan, the mayor signs a decree banishing all dogs to Trash Island. When 12 year old Atari Kobayashi (Koyu Rankin) crash-lands on the island searching for his dog Spots (Liv Schreiber), the first dog to be sent to Trash Island, he comes across a band of dogs; Rex (Edward Norton), King (Bob Balaban), Duke (Jeff Goldblum), Boss (Bill Murray) and Chief (Bryan Cranston), and they set about a journey to find the boy’s dog.
The story is such a heartwarming one, Atari’s determination and loyalty towards finding Spots together with the story behind Chief’s coldness towards humans makes for a film very hard not to take a liking to, the richness to both the narrative and characters will make you just fall in love with the dogs.
