The Matrix Trilogy


The Matrix: This is what started it all. The movie is known to have started the revolutionary slowing down of time effect. This movie is amazing. I wont go over the plot but I think I found a plot hole. During the movie the machines are trying to unlock Morpheus’ mind to find out the codes to Zion’s mainframe but in the latter movies, the machines know just where to find Zion(the last human city).



            Complaints aside, I love the flow of the film. It’s the best in the trilogy but not by a whole lot. The special effects and dialogue are excellent. There just weren’t that many movies like this one when it first came out in 1999. My favorite part has to be where Neo took on Agent Smith 1 on 1. Make no mistake I think this movie is in the conversation for best sci-fi movie of all time.

Rating: 10/10





The Matrix Reloaded: How do you follow up a sci-fi classic? You make the sequel with even better special effects and elaborate fight scenes. There are some really really awesome scenes in this movie. There’s the really long car chase scene with Trinity, Morpheus, the keymaker, the twins, and some agents. Then there’s the brawl between Neo and 100 renegade Agent Smiths. My favorite part has to be the final scene where Neo catches Trinity while moving at what appears to be light speed.



Overall I feel Reloaded has more action than the original but some scenes like the tribal dance scene just seemed like a kind of waste of time. The movie is also a cliffhanger. When I saw it for the 1st time in 2003 I was thinking 2 things; how long do I have to wait for the final movie and how in the hell are the good guys going to bounce back?. I didn’t have to wait very long.

9.5/10



The Matrix Revolutions: This and Reloaded were actually filmed as 1 big movie and as you watch Revolutions you get that vibe. Revolutions is a good movie but a lot of people didn’t think it was all that. It’s the most complex of the 3 movies and it really is just a conclusion to its predecessor.

The huge battle scene comes up fairly quickly in this movie as the machines try to destroy the city of Zion. It’s a great battle scene but it seems to drag on too long. Revolutions starts with a pretty nice fight scene that kind of reminds me of the shooting sequence in the first movie with the pillars. The movie has its ups and downs but ultimately the fight scene between Super Smith and Neo is simply amazing. However the movie doesn’t explain much at the end, all you know is the war ends and there’s peace between humans and the machines….

8.5/10

Doja Cat Albums Worst to Best

 Doja Cat has been one of my favorite rapper/singers of the past few years. Let's see which albums are the best from her. 5) Amala (88)- Doja’s first album is honestly pretty damn good. You can tell she was still refining her sound tho on this. The last 3 songs “Juicy”, “Tia Tamera”, and “Mooo” are so good. “Candy” is another banger. The album is really well balanced being pretty much good in all areas but not really great in any tho. Favorite Track: Mooo. 4) Scarlet (90)- Believe it or not, this was an album I was on the fence about getting. I’m glad I got it. This is a rap heavy album but there’s still plenty of singing here and there. “Demons” and “F**k the GIrls” are Doja at her roughest. “Attention” was a great single. “Agora Hills” is a nice cute track. The monster single “Paint the Town Red” is the best track however. This album wa a big departure for her, but for the most part it paid off. Fav. Track Paint the Town Red. 3) Vie (92)- This was Doja returning to her pop roots,...

Album Review: Doja Cat-Vie

  The much anticipated latest Doja Cat album! I was very curious to see where she'd go after the dark rap heavy Scarlet. The path she took was a 80s sounding pop album. It took a few listens for the album to click with me but yeah its awesome. Doja is in her zone here on this album. She sings a lot and acts as her own featured rap artist which is interesting. The first 3 songs are pretty strong. "Cards" is sultry. I love "Jealous Type" too (the lead single). "AAAH MEN!" might be my favorite song however. The production is great but maybe not the best she's ever had. I liked most every song. "Silly!Fun!" and "Come Back" are also excellent. As far as features go there's only SZA on " Take Me Dancing". So basically we have a very strong album here...but maybe not quite as good as Planet Her but it’s very close. Maybe I'll do a Doja Cat album ranking in the near future. She's been one of my favorite artists sin...

Tech Review: Iphone Air

 I have only had this phone for over a week but I feel the need to review it. I recently got a 512gb light gold iPhone Air. This phone is so thin. You really have to hold it for yourself to believe it. I knew when I used it at a local Best Buy I had to have it. The phone is also a modern marvel having most of the technology in the camera bump. Of course you're wondering about that camera and battery life.  Honestly the battery is decent. It gets me through the day at work with minimal charging ( I mean who goes somewhere with no charger anymore?). The camera is good too. I'm not a huge camera guy anyways. The phone's 6.5 inch Super Retina XDR OLED display is great. I really notice a difference from my old phone (iPhone 12). The phone doesn't really get that hot either which is great. One thing I'm not a huge fan of is the one speaker on the phone....but honestly it's not that bad. I usually use headphones anyways. Apple Intelligence is still in beta but I think ...
