And The Oscar Goes To…

  “Spider-man: No Way Home” is an entertaining film with excellent acting, nostalgia, and action. Tom Holland plays an excellent Spider-man and portrays the character in a very unique way. Every scene in the movie was unexpected and entertaining. It was very surreal seeing Tobey and Andrew come on the screen. (previous Spider-mans) Each of them play Spider-man in a different way so watching ...

The movie I would pick for best picture of 2021 would be Spider Man: No Way Home. I would pick this movie because I think that it is deserving of this award. Personally, one of my favorite parts of this movie is the soundtrack, I think that the soundtrack enhances the viewer's experience, and provides the viewer with various types of music genres to enjoy the movie with. I think that the plot of the mo...

My choice for ‘Best Movie of 2021’ is Cruella. I chose Cruella as the best movie of 2021 for many reasons.  The first reason as to why I picked Cruella is because of the costumes. One of the things that stood out to me most in this film was how amazing and creative the costumes were. Cruella’s dresses were breathtaking. For example, the dress Cruella had on when she fell out of the garbage truck...

Black widow was a very good movie. The main characters in this movie are Natasha (Black Widow), Yelena ( Sister of Black Widow), and Melina (Mother of Black Widow). I chose this film because when I watched it I thought it was really good and it's a good action movie from Marvel. The plot itself was interesting and the acting was really good. It felt real, even when some of the scenes were not realisti...

In my opinion, the movie that should win Best Picture should be Luca, produced by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios. Luca is a family friendly (PG) animated film that takes place on the Italian Riviera in the summertime. This film has included many life lessons in fun and creative ways. Luca shares adventures with his new best friend, but they have to be careful everywher...

The Mitchells vs the Machines is a highlight in a sea of slapstick comedy animated movies that has come out in the past ten years. Instead of relying on dull or repetitive humor, The Mitchells vs the Machines uses comedy that can be relatable to both an older and younger audience.  The 2021 Comedy follows the Mitchells, a once close family now strained by their only daughter, Katie’s and her dad�...

The Academy Awards are coming and it is a time to reflect on the movies of 2021. It wasn't a big year for movies, but a lot of the less popular ones were the ones that really shined. My pick for Best Picture of 2021 is The Ice Road. The Ice Road is a Netflix movie about a Canadian Trucker, Mike (Liam Neeson), who is going on a high stakes trucking job to bring supplies that will help save people trapped ...

When determining 2021’s best picture, not only should we be considering movies with breath-taking cinematography, but movies with a cohesive, impactful, and entertaining story. The 2021 remake of West Side Story did not only meet those expectations, but exceeded them. The 1961 version of West Side Story is a classic, but its recent remake has certain aspects that were better executed than its origin...

This beautifully shot, lyrical masterpiece directed by none other than Lin Manuel Miranda, is nothing short of a proper tribute to the life and work of Jonathan Larson. The movie musical follows Jonathan Larson (Andrew Garfield)’s journey through writing his first musical, Suburbia. His best friend Michael (Robin de Jesus) gets a job in advertising, and moves away, leaving their shared apartment ...

Black Widow I believe is the best movie of 2021 because of so many memorable aspects and details portrayed in this movie. Black Widow is a heart-warming film that shows the full story of a loveable character that has been comforting to MCU fans for the last ten years. Natasha Romnaoff, the main character of this film, is shown through a whole different light and the movie itself gives the audience a...

My choice for the Best Picture of 2021 is CODA. CODA(Child of deaf adults) is a movie about Ruby (Emilia Jones) the only hearing person in her all deaf family. As she discovers her love for singing, her family continues to grow in their fishing business. The film focuses on Ruby as she struggles to balance both in her busy life. This movie shows a concept that isn't really shown in social media wh...

This movie was awesome. There is a lot of action and it also has an emotional aspect. You get really attached to all the characters. Especially if you have watched the previous Spider-Man movies. In the movie they bring back villains from the past Spider-Man movies. Across all  seven of these live action movies there are 3 different actors who play Spider-Man. The thing is they are all supposed to...

For the finest film of 2021, I have chosen Cruella. Cruella is a film that is not just intriguing, but entertaining and truly heartbreaking. The performance, narrative, and plot twists elevate it to new heights. Emma Stone is the main actress, taking on the role of Cruella de Vil. Emma is Cruella's very essence, and she really immerses herself in the roles that flesh out the complexity of an emotion...

In my opinion, Free Guy would be the best movie released in the  year 2021. The reason for this pick was due to its unique plot and comedic characters, especially the main character, Guy, played by Ryan Reynolds. Without spoiling too much, the movie takes place centered around Guy, an NPC, or non-player character in a video game called Free City. As an NPC he is supposed to go about every day doi...

Encanto deserves to win the Academy Award as with this film Disney wonderfully describes and portrays the diverse Latino community in a fun, lighthearted way. Encanto has a lot of fun colors and animation and can be enjoyed by your family. Encanto shows the struggles big families face, but how in the end they always stick together and have each other's back with their immense love for each other. I ...

The best movie of 2021 wasn’t a boisterous blockbuster that sold out the theaters in seconds. It wasn’t a long awaited sequel or fueled by a star studded cast. The best movie of 2021 wasn’t even a theater release at all; it was Amazon Prime Video’s Birds of Paradise, starring Booksmart’s Diana Silvers and The Society’s Kristine Froseth. Birds of Paradise follows Kate Sanders, Silvers...

The movie to win for Best Picture of 2021 is King Richard, produced by Will Smith, Tim and Trevor White. The story of Richard Williams relays a very inspiring message about a father whose only wish in life is to get his family out of a bad neighborhood. The plot is so unique because of the buildup of Venus and Serena's stardom, along with the anticipation of the two sisters trying to make their fa...

My choice for best picture 2021 is Spider-Man: No Way Home. There were many reasons for my choice, aside from the fact that I am a huge Marvel fan. I love the Spider Man movies, and the cast is one of my favorite casts of all time. You can see that they have amazing chemistry, which always makes movies ten times better. Getting the emotions right and really showing them is extremely important when fil...

If I could choose the best movie of 2021, I would choose Black Widow. The plot of this movie was unlike any other Marvel film in the franchise, as it felt like real life aside from the action scenes. Marvel has produced one of the biggest movie franchises ever and every movie is amazing, but Black Widow was just on it's own level. It has an intriguing and intense plot that keeps you at the edge of...

Throughout 2021 there were many well produced films. If I were to present the award to a movie I thought deserved it most, I would give it to the movie Luca. The film can bring enjoyment to all. It is a family friendly movie and really shines the light of the important aspects of friendship. The movie is about two young boys who are sea creatures and best friends. When they go to the surface they turn into...

The top movie of 2021 that is Academy Award worthy is “tick, tick.. BOOM!” This film is Academy Award worthy, because it brings Jonathan Larson's musical to life. It is a musical semi-autobiography created by Jonathan Larson, the composer of “Rent.” The movie begins with Jonathan Larson turning 30, and struggling to get a musical he has been working on for eight years brought into the light. H...

Cruella is the origin story of the infamous Disney supervillain, Cruella De Vil. It is based in 1970s London during a punk rock “revolution” if you will. The movie follows a young thief named Estella who aspires to be more than a petty pickpocket and become a fashion designer for the infamous House of Baroness. She becomes friends with two other young thieves and they make a life for themselves on t...
