Malik’s Movie Reviews Past & Present
CHRIS: And here to present the next two awards, here is Academy Award nominee Emma Stone, and the Associate Producer of ‘Trojan War,’ Malik Aziz! (audience applause as they take the stage) EMMA: An outlaw trying to survive in a room of seven Hateful men. A woman supporting and coming to grips with her husband’s […]
Well then! So the usual primer: I know my comic books and comic book films, but really, knew next to nothing of Deadpool. (Which probably made me the target audience for this film.) Just my opinion, but I think you have to go back to the first ‘Avengers’ to find a comic book film this […]
If you haven’t seen it yet, this is what has me and many of my ilk hyped up the past couple of days… Enjoy!
I have to shout out my friends at Marvel. I was already looking forward to this; when I heard it’s coming out at the end of #MalikWeek2016, I couldn’t have been more flattered. Pretty sure this will be the first series where I stream the whole thing in one day. (No pressure Netflix…) And I […]
Like some of you, I get a little nervous when a film seems to be too overtly political. There’s a delicate balance in doing those right. But as most of you know, if Clooney is involved I’m willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. Especially when I spot a couple other people who […]

John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac in particular, salute! Is it a perfect movie? No. The first few callbacks are cool, some of […]
Brie Larson first showed up on my radar when someone turned me on to ‘The United States of Tara.’ ‘Short Term ’12’ put her on everybody’s radar in terms of ‘OK, she can act.’ And now, ‘Room’ is justifiably giving her the chance to really do anything she wants. Told from the point of view […]
Me, moments ago, to Ben Affleck… Man…look at this…
Do I carry a certain amount of bias for ‘Master of None’ as a minority actor who favors the ‘silly love stories with a heart’? Sure, I guess I do. But I still think ‘Master of None’ is fantastic. As someone on Twitter brilliantly pitched it, this show is ‘a younger, less surreal version of […]
