Ishaan Uwach

Hola everybody! Today’s post is somewhat unusual. I’m not reviewing a really fun movie in this one. Instead, I’m going to detail the journey of my reviews from a school project to a year-long movie blog. Strap on your seat belts and liftoff!!! The blog started off as a school project in Grade III. It involved watching the movies, typing the reviews, writing them on paper, and sending the photo of them to my teacher who would review them and suggest changes. I wrote six movie reviews in this fashion (the ones uploaded on May 25, 2020). In May of 2020, my teacher (Ranjini mam) asked me if I would be interested in making a blog to share my reviews with everyone. This was finalized as my blog: www.ishaanuwach.blogspot.com .   ‘Uwach’ means ‘said’ in Sanskrit. Hence it means Ishaan speaks (works well as I love to speak a 😊 )       Easy peasy lemon squeezy, right? Now I have to just write reviews, and upload them.   WRONG!   First, I have to shortlist movies and watch th

  Director: Robert Stevenson Producer: Walt Disney Cast: Julie Andrews (Mary Poppins) Dick Van Dyke (Bert) Karen Dotrice (Jane Banks) Matthew Garber (Michael Banks). Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Ello, gov’nor! That’s the only word I have to describe this movie. Get on to the review. We get introduced to a street performer named Bert, who also serves as our narrator. Bert explains that this is London in 1910, and a former British Navy officer named Admiral Boom, who accurately gets time correct and Greenwich relies on him for time. Boom also fires a firework every day exactly at 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. At 17 Cherry Tree Lane, we see that a wealthy banker named Mr Banks has two rambunctious children, who go missing as usual and later return, with their kite that had gone missing. Their nanny quits because it was the fourth time the kids went missing in the week and their mother Winifred, an infamous suffragette, goes off to protest. Later that night, Mr and Mrs. Banks deci

 D irector: David Yates Producers: David Heyman, David Barron Cast: Daniel Radcliffe (Harry) Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) Alan Rickman (Severus Snape) Rupert Grint (Ron) Emma Watson (Hermione) The wizarding world is on fire! Death Eaters kidnap famed wand-maker Garrick Ollivander and destroy the Millennium Bridge in London. Later, Death Eaters Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange visit Potions Professor Severus Snape in his hous e, where Narcissa forces Snape to make an Unbreakable Vow to protect Draco Malfoy (Narcissa’s son) from any harm and fulfil his assignment of killing Albus Dumbledore if Draco fails to do so. Harry Potter accompanies Dumbledore to persuade former Potions Professor Horace Slughorn to return to his former duty as Potions Master. Slughorn reluctantly agrees to that. Harry goes to visit the Weasleys, where he meets Ron and Hermione. They talk a bit about Dumbledore and then they leave for Diagon Alley in London, only to find it deserted with the only sign o

Director: Robert Wise Producers: Robert Wise, Peter Levathes, Saul Chaplin Cast: Julie Andrews (Maria von Trapp) Christopher Plummer (Georg von Trapp), Eleanor Parker (The Baroness). A really happy movie. I really think that this is the best. Go to the review. Maria is a free-spirited young woman who is training to become a nun at an abbey in Salzburg, Austria. One day, her lack of discipline finally gets the better of her and it reaches a point where nobody wants her there except for the Mother Abbess. She decides that Marie should live outside the abbey and sends her as a governess for the seven children of naval officer Captain Georg von Trapp. The Captain insists on strict military discipline, of which Maria does not approve. Although the children misbehave at first, Maria responds with kindness and patience and gets all the children to love her as a friend. The next day the Captain leaves for Vienna to visit Baroness Elsa Schraeder and ‘Uncle’ Max Detweiler. With that, Mar

  Director: Thurop Van Orman Producer: John Cohen Cast: Jason Sudeikis (Red), Josh Gad (Chuck), Leslie Jones (Zeta), Rachel Bloom (Silver), Danny McBride (Bomb), Bill Hader (Leonard) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Originally, this review was going to be a line of HAHAHAs. But I changed my mind. Bird Island and Piggy Island are locked in a series of prank wars, with the latest pranks being Piggy Island pieing Bird Island and Red, Chuck, Bomb, and Terence cannonballing, which by the time it had reached Piggy Island, was a bird-made tsunami. Later that day, a giant ball of ice hits Piggy Island, which leaves Leonard, the pig ruler confused about from where it came from. A pig drone captures the source of the ice, a frozen and seal-infested island called Eagle Island. The ruler, Zeta, wants to capture Bird and Piggy Islands and turn them into her paradise. Because of that, Leonard calls a truce with Red. Meanwhile, three chicks ar

  Director: Brad Bird Producer: Brad Lewis Cast: Patton Oswalt (Remy) Lou Romano (Alfredo Linguini) Peter O’Toole (Anton Ego) Brad Garett (Auguste Gusteau). The movie is Mind-blowing. Awesome. Spectacular. Let’s get to the review. Remy is a bluish-grey rat who, unlike his clan, can actually taste and smell food. His brother, Emile, is extremely proud of this unusual feature, but Remy’s dad doesn’t value these abilities. That is, until one night. The rat clan are stealing food from the house of an old lady. Once Remy’s dad takes an apple core in his hands, Remy’s nerves spring into action and Remy quickly informs his dad that the apple core has rat poison. Finally proud of his son, Remy’s dad employs him as ‘Poison Checker’. Later, Remy goes to watch the TV show of Remy’s idol chef, Auguste Gusteau. But to his horror, Gusteau’s hotel was given a scathing review by one of the most renowned restaurant reviewers, Anton Ego, causing it to lose a star, and Gusteau dies of a broken he
