Groundhog Day

I love this movie. I saw it at least 20 times. Murray is great as Phil. Funny, relatable a bit tragic. There are so many great quotes in this movie.

After so many views of this movie, I just don't get one thing. What is so great about Rita? You don't see that much of her character in this movie, but what you see, she is not really that likable. The scene where she asks about what they should drink to always gets me. Why does she ask, when she always drinks to world peace?

Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes

This movie is just clever. The whole time travel aspect is just perfect, and consistent all the time. I'm not even surprised that Summer time machine blues is from the same writer. Both are great. And it both you have to really focus, so you don't miss anything. the only thing id did not like was some of the actors. Especially the main character felt really wooden in the beginning but got better with the rest of the cast. But this may be due to how this had to be recorded.

I love time travel movies, and this is probably my favorite (together with Time Crimes and Primer). It's fun, with likable characters and it adheres to the proposed time travel logic. I saw it many times, and I enjoyed it every time. You have to pay close attention to what is going on.

The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion

I keep coming back to this one. I so wish I could watch this one again without knowing the ending. Really nice suspense, action and surprise at the end . Too bad the part 2 is not as good.

Coherence

I seen this movie few time, and even on repeated watching is still captivating. the idea behind it is great and makes you think. There is s bit of overacting here and there, probably due to some parts being adlibbed, but overall it's not that bad.

Overall, quite a fun movie, I did quite enjoy it. But the whole time I could not shake a feeling. A feeling that I'm watching a US remake of a better Japanese movie. There have been many in the past. This one feels the same, as an American movie with a Japanese backdrop. And that just makes it feel fake overall. They did not even bother to hire Japanese actors for the Japanese yakuza. Just why?

I think I will just read the book next time. Should be better.

For me, this is the last movie I'm watching with Sandra Bullock. Her scary plastic face will haunt me forever in my nightmares

Edit: After watching it two more times, I still have the same issues with the movie, but I have to up the rating to 9, as it's just too much fun and you notice so many things when you watch it again.

Great pirate movie, even if a bit too much inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean. Still, great characters and many funny moments.

Update: After watching it few more times, I now like it more than Pirates of the Caribbean (just not the sequel, that was bad)

The Perfect Secret

By now I have seen 6 versions of this movie and the German one is still my favorite, followed closely by the Italian original. I especially like that they did not use the ending where nothing happened, and stick to reality

It's an ok time travel movie, but it's hard to take seriously when everyone is behaving like total idiots. You just can't believe that these people are supposed to be genius scientists that developed time travel.

Suspect X

Maybe not as good as the book, but a really good adaptation. Too bad that once you know how it ends it's a bit harder to enjoy the mystery.

The main leads work quite vell together here which makes for quite an entertaining movie. Exactly what one would expect of a simple sport-themed romantic comedy.

When I saw that the writer (and almost everybody else) of Beyond the infinite two minutes wrote a new movie, I just had to see it. And it again play with the idea of time travel, but again in a very unique way. This time it’s a Groundhoog Day style movie, but it repeats after two minutes and everyone is in on it. Surprising how much can be done in two minutes. While I liked Beyond Infinite 2 minutes more, as it tried to show a simpler story with more intricate time travel aspects, this was also good. The time loop hooks you in quite quickly and the resolution while not that original, was not bad. I did not really get the snow. They did not try to explain the weather changes much, so at times it felt distracting

Update: on the second watch, they do try to explain the snow, as shifting realities.

The Belko Experiment

Simple, fun, crazy movie. Pure entertainment. It's worth just watching for John McGinley. He plays the same character in everything, but he is always just perfect.

Silent Parade

Another great adaptation of a Higashino mystery. Great to see that they got all the main actors reprising their roles. Yes, the book is better, but mostly because it has more space to develop the characters. You can see that this is a continuation of all the other stories with Galileo, and probably not a good spot for newcomers. Also, as in all the other Higashino stories, it is quite sad, almost depressing. Still, I really liked the book, and I also did the movie.

I don't understand the low ratings. This is such a fun movie. Something like a modern version of the Clue. Really great.

Alienoid

So this movie has martial arts, gun fights, lasers, aliens, robots, time travel, mages, comedy, and much more, and still is entertaining and makes sense in the world they created? Hard to believe it. Can't wait for part 2.

Sadako 3D

I watched this again today because I forgot if I saw it already. And that's not good, being so forgettable. The cast is good, the effects ugly, the 3d very annoying. If they removed the 3D stuff and made the rest scary, it would be an ok movie. They should learn from the older iterations of the series. Sometimes what you don't see is scarier than something right in your face.

The Incite Mill

I do enjoy single location movies and also killing game movies if they are done well. And this one mostly is. The setup is good, the resolution also, there are good actors here. You can see the inspiration from And then there were none by Agatha Christie and from the game Clue which is not bad. To bad that even though the rules of the game are told, they are mostly ignored .

What I did not like was that some of the character motivations were very vague, some of the dialogues felt really forced, and you can predict a lot right from the beginning. . Still, I enjoyed it from start to finish.

Godzilla Minus One

Really enjoyed this one. The visuals look great, music was perfect including the sound effects. The story is good, and you will root for the characters (that even change and progress as the story goes). Godzilla is scary and menacing. I can't think of anything I did not like. Can't wait for a streaming release to see it again.

Jungle Cruise

Just another disappointment. If they have money to spend on the CGI and the good actors, why don't they spend some of it on a good writer? But looks like a story no longer sells a movie. This felt like it was written by someone who heard about Indiana Jones and Pirates of the Caribean (just heard, not seen) and they tried to make something similar. And failed at it. Not even Dwayne can save this mess.

If Holywood will continue like this, there will be no point at all even to bother watching anything that comes from there. Trash upon trash with more trash on top. Really sad.
