I'm a super movie nerd and usually when im watching a horror movie im sizing up the lighting, thinking about where this shot is taking me and when is the next jump scare gonna happen etc.

but i was so hooked on this story i actually kinda forgot all that and let the movie do what it was supposed to do: scare the crap outta me!

and theres something i gotta mention, although the trick kind of got old by the end of the movie (and the audience had lots of fun doing it themselves), the tongue clicking thing? thats real smart. when it first happened it played so well, im sure if it was followed by a spook i might actually jump from my seat.
cant believe this is the director's first full length movie. well done!

mother!

Like it or not, these are the movies we should support. There haven't been much breakthrough in cinema for years, and believe me, Mother! is one of the forguard of movie storytelling.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

No one would say it's not fun (double negative as intended), cause hell yea it was a freakin good time! Great editing with CGI perfection to say the least, some of the jokes were kinda awkward but most of them were mighty good laughs. Now the unfortunate thing is this: it's still just a teeny movie. this movie sure as hell have the potential to bring so much depth and so much more, and also promote this culture to different generations of people as well. As a gamer / geeky person, and not a very long time ago a gamer / geeky teen, it's just sad to say I'm pretty sure WE are the only people to be able to get hype with this movie.

Babel
The Kindergarten Teacher

It's eerie, but strangely powerful. With this almost tailor-made script Maggie Gyllenhaal put good use with her skills, her character is so complex and daring and fragile, smart and naïve, and most of all referable, it's like she came straight out of a Christopher Nolan movie. It maybe far from mainstream but this movie certainly excelled from other Netflix titles, and for those who is willing to try, it's a good watch. And it's worth mentioning that the poems in the movie came by the hand of Vietnamese writer Vuong, went to see his works after the movie and some are literally breath taking.

10 Things I Hate About You

Had I seen this as a teen, maybe i would have learnt about passion and being in love very differently. Still, I love it in my 20s. I look forward to coming back again in my 30s and reflect.

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One

when I finally see the jump, I can't help but think: what other value does this add to the movie, other than to have something to do marketing on? i still don't have an answer for that.

Peninsula

IT'S. SO. DARK. Literally! cause the zombie chase scenes are completely CG this movie is so under-lit dark (they had to match the other scenes with similar brightness) it hurts my eyes to see it for 2 hours. As for the movie itself, i would say it's so mediocre it didn't struck me enough to label it light or dark, it's just one of those grabs movies. Lnow what to expect and you might actually enjoy it a little more.

It's a kid movie, that even your kids will find a waste of their time. For adults like me, I found it to be unexpectedly terrible, even when I hardly expect anything but a little joy ride after dinner.
Despite all the headaches the animal gibberish gave me, What I absolutely cannot stand, is the poor and poor editing, and Robert Downey Jr's Ridiculous accent. I recommend Golden Compass back from 2008 if you think your kids likes this kind of movies. They also have talking polar bears. Better ones.

The Last Castle

I'm sure the plot was fine. At points clever, And it was fun.....ny. Whenever movies are involved with hardcore patriotism it gets kinda hilarious. no offense, it's just how it is.

The Mule

"It's really flat", thats what i thought when the credits started rolling. but then i thought, "hey you just watched a 90 year old cowboy, singing folks songs and driving cross states for 2 hours, didn't even yawn." Fair point inner voice!
Fun fact: for a 2018 crime movie, only one ACTUAL gun shot was fired, and only 2 gangsters was seen killed on screen the whole damn movie. Thats some achievement too. good job Tata.

You can always count on a Gyllenhaal for great acting, whatever the character.

The Young Girls of Rochefort

Masterpiece. Or maybe i should say, Chef-d'oeuvre. It's so beautifully made, i wonder if what I'm seeing is actually real; everything is romance I feel like I have just started to learn the meaning of love. Yes its an homage to Hollywood musicals, but this marvelous work from Demy can't be fully explained by such a shallow term.

Aquaman
I Think We're Alone Now

It's supposed to be about Del's struggles with humans and what happened to him after they were all gone. and the plot just drove way off and didn't even scratch the surface of that matter. what a disappointment when they have so much potential in this setting and cast.
and them playing emotional music when absolutely nothing happens is just annoying... wait, come to think of it nothing important actually happened anywhere in the movie.... wow...

Annihilation

The movie provide tons of new and interesting ideas, but sadly you are not going to see them resolve into anything at all, as they all just kind of fade through the story.
The movie was fine actually, if it wasn't trying SO hard on hiding its weakness in those boring Inception "BOOM!" sound, CGI recolored forest, slow and hollow girls talking, and most of all, the so very pretentious ending.

Dream Scenario

This was really going somewhere, until it doesn't. the acting was spot on for the horrifying existential crisis that carried through the silver screen, but just as you thought you were going to get some resolution for going through all the suffering with Cage's character for 2 hours, you were left hanging when the lights came on.

You have to see it to believe it - big budget utter sxxt is still being made in 2022. Just think of the many lives that could have been saved using that budget people. Alas alas.

Barbie

When it is "fun" to just let loose, not think about anything and enjoy the marvelous cinematography and laugh at the silly dance, you can't tell everyone "best not to think about it" at EVERY problem in the plot when your story is ultimately about your protagonists having their great quest to self realization. There is a famous statue in Moscow by the waterfront where it is marveled at and laughed at by its citizens for its gigantic size and lack of purpose. While there's definitely a lot of craftsmanship in its making, it's resulted in nothing more than a good laugh and something fun to look at when your eyes have no better place to look at.
For Barbie, "Fun" is nothing but a cheap escape for a bad script and lack of mindful creativity, and a failed attempt to make itself a work of serious importance it is proclaiming to be.

Mercury Rising

Looking back, this movie is definitely one of the low points of 90s cinema, made uninspiredly from the golden formula borrowed from countless better movies with a similar rogue cop plot. First you need - 1 agent / police who must fight against bureaucracy; + 1 Black sidekick who is good with supporting from remote; + 1 forgetable chick who offers help blindly and unconditionally; + someone to save who always runs off or get caught and need saving; and don't forget the bad guy who has a crooked justice in his big head and a s*** load of authority.

There are actually plenty of flicks back then (and still now) which are actually well made using this formula, but if you happened to do too little or too much, there is still a chance you mess up big time and you end up burning millions of dollars to produce 120 minutes of trash time and wasted talent here and there.

Mercury rising is definitely one of the cases where they mess up, but too little or too much you ask? Well, I don't know and I don't want to know. Do you?

Executive Decision

It's got all the action movie clichés you can think of, protagonist that got in the eye of storm by accident, bomb defusing, Morse codes, antagonist that always gets an extra life, action clichés you name it you got it. its got ideas pulled from everywhere but it was detail filled enough that the actual result was pretty good to the eye.
If I'm to see an action movie, this is the kind i want to see.

Troy

Epic scale, little depth.
The actors delivered well, Eric Bana and actor of old king Priam were especially impressive. some overacting here and there to cope with the style is understandable for me, but the script is very mediocre, compared with the eye dazzling fight choreography and amusing set designs.
In short, typical Hollywood big budget to the bones. for a well known story such as Troy, you would expect they put a 21 century spin on it instead of doing it as is, something tactical, something outwitting. but no, Warner Brothers gave us more romance, which are super forgivable once the movie ends.
still watchable. but not much to remember.
