The Crowded Room (2023)
Fantastic!
I'm really surprised, why the rating is so low?!
I just finished the first episode and I'm already completely hooked! The acting, the mystery, the whole 70s-atmosphere, ...everything seems perfect to me.
So, instead of being reasonable and going to bed now to get enough sleep for work tomorrow, I'm gonna continue watching! :D
I love these kind of series... it's against the typical boring blockbuster Hollyood-crap... a good drama, which is more about the art of acting and telling a deep meaningful story, full of stories about human beings. It's just true art in form of a movie/series. And I like, that "bing name" actors are playing those (so, thank you very much, dear Tom Holland!), so the chance is bigger, that more people will find these jewels of film making nowadays... it also reminds me a little bit of the movie "the devil all the time" with Tom Holland (another great anti-Hollywood-movie).
So, don't let you fool by the negative reviews here, have a look at it and find your own judgement. :)
Misanthrope (2023)
Very good!
First of all, I love Shailene Woodley! She's such a great actress, it's easy so see and understand which emotions her character is experiencing in the different situations. I also liked the other actors, well done. The story is pretty simple but I liked the ongoing tension building up. I didn't feel like the movie was almost 2 hours long, it's was really effortless to watch. I also liked the whole dark atmosphere and it was very well cut. There was also come criticism involved against politics and its power in the US and how this works against humanity. So, overall a very good and dark movie with great acting!
McGregor Forever (2023)
Docu about a unique fighter!
Wonderful documentary about the most popular MMA fighter!
I'm already a bug UFC Fan and I watch all the fights for years now. So, I've already known which fights he'll win or lose.
But still, it was nice to see a little bit more behind the scenes-stuff and it's visually very well done. The balance about training and fights was well balanced with the life outside the gym and octagon.
For me, it could've been filmed even more insights in his personal life and about his charity work.
But I guess for people who are new to MMA, this might be the perfect documentary to make them curious about this sport.
It was also not too long, 4 episodes in a good length.
Enjoy! :)
Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)
Annoying child actress...
...Vivien Lyra Blair was just a torture... one can see from miles away that she's acting, just like an amateur... it's really really bad... and so annoying. And she's only 7 years old, playing a 10 year old, what the hell?!
Why do they cast such a young untalented child?!
I mean, just look at how she's "running"... it's just ridiculous!
Everybody who's not blind and deaf can sense, that she's far too young for this task!
Well, apart from that "joke", I liked the series quite a bit.
And the rest of the cast plays their part very good.
Top of the Lake (2013)
Season 1 is great! Season 2 is...
...a complete disaster!
Season 1 was absolutely amazing, gripping, shocking, etc.
Just a perfect mixture of crime, drama, perfect acting, scenery, etc.
Season 2 on the other hand, was a complete FAIL!!!
Unlogic behavior, unnecessary scenes and dialogues, bad acting, boring, predictable and extermely annoying characters...
I had to stop at the 5th episode, it was just a torture and I couldn't take it anymore!
Season 1: 10/10
Season 2: 0/10.
The Northman (2022)
Well...
...done!
I really liked this one!
It's more about the visual and symbolic things, than about the dialogues or story. It's very mystic and a visual masterpiece in my opinion. It's raw, brutal and barbaric. And still in all this madness, there's a glimpse of hope and love.
I wished I could have given 10/10...
But it's impossible to take Nicole Kidman with her Barbie-doll (massive plastic surgery) serious, in a movie about this time where's no plastic surgery yet... this looks just ridiculous!
And another small thing: The good Northman has an impressive body, but he should really work on his extremely rounded/hunched back. I mean... he looks like a turtle or an very old man with this posture. Not healthy buddy.
That's why Ragnar Lodbrok stays the best Viking in modern TV! ;D.
From (2022)
Horrible cast...
...I had to stop watching, because half the cast is so horrible at acting, bunch of amateurs... what a pity, because I'd liked the idea about this and would have been interested to see how the story will develop...
Bruised (2020)
Nice try...
...but it was just a "try".
It tried to be dramatic... it wasn't.
It tried to be believable... it wasn't.
Everything was sooo obvious... everything was completely predictable. It never touched me at all.
This felt just like a fan movie of an MMA-Fan.
I'm a UFC-Fan since day 1 and did 20 years of martial arts myself. So, I could see, that all the training and fighting with Halle Berry was "acting" and never real. I think it would have been much better, if she'd used a stunt double/real fighter to do all these scenes. Instead of a 55year old actress trying to show "fighting".
Especially in the fight against one of the best female fighters of all time, current UFC Champion Valentina Shevchenko... what a huge difference in every single move. It looked like a fighter was playing with a small child. Comen on, that was ridiculous!
All in all, it was nice and entertaining without any kind of impact... and I'll wake up tomorrow and have forgotten this movie already forever.
Shorta (2020)
Amazing!
I found this movie by coincidence... and I'm was deeply impressed by it! It really got my, it's very intense and the tension is getting more and more until the end. It's a deep movie about politics and decisions under lots of pressure and also the question and consequences of choices... I highly recommend watching it!
Blood Red Sky (2021)
Trash...
...this movie had a lot of potential. The beginning was pretty OK. But then it started to become ridiculous... and there are too many very bad actors in this movie (the child, the old hysteric husband, the psycho-wannabe, etc.). Also it's getting just nowhere, it's getting too long and for that too boring... also too many choices which made no sense at all... I couldn't even finish the movie, that's always the worst sign... don't waste your precious life time for this trash. Watch something else...
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
Great Start... but...
...getting more and more boring, childish and too much "over-the-top-Fantasy" with time.
It starts as a great martial arts movie, with humor, good acting, great fight and action scenes.
But in the second half of the movie it loses its humor. I got bored several times and the fantasy is just getting too much. It turns to a children's movie. I was so bored and annoyed of this bad twist that I almost didn't finish the movie. It lost me completely. What a pity!
First half: 10/10
Second half: 0/10.
Chapelwaite (2021)
Too slow and long...
...but other than that, this series has a great dark atmosphere, very good acting, good story and visually well done. Because it's so long and slow there were times where I thought it was boring, but I wanted to know what'll happrn next, that made me continuing watching.
Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995)
One of the best action movies ever!
From all "Die Hard"-movies, this is the best one!
Best story, best characters, best humor, best actors, best music, best action!
Even the issue about racism is shown in various ways.
To me personally this is one of the best action movies ever done. The first time I've seen this as a 14 year old and now, 20 years later, I still enjoy re-watching this classic again from time to time. :)
The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020)
This little girl...
... is sooo incredibly annoying and bad acting, that I couldn't even finish the first episode. What a shame! (How is it possible to not realise this as a director?!)
See (2019)
Pls replace the Queen...
The series itself is fantastic! The storyline, the costumes, cities, nature, fights, etc. Is amazing!
B U T this actress who plays the Queen Kane is the most annoying figure I've ever experienced in a series or a movie in my whole life... I mean... come on, just talk like a normal human being, what the ... shall that annoying talking with this high voice be?!
Just stop it PLEASE, because you're ruining this whole amazing series by this kind of overacting!
...and if you can't stop it, pls replace her (just let her die in the series, nobody will miss this annoying voice anyway...
Je suis Karl (2021)
Bad and boring...
Bad script, bad dialogs, unlogic behavior of the characters, too long, boring...
I can't recommend this movie at all...
Little Fires Everywhere (2020)
Omg...
Kerry Washington was the worst possible choice for this role... her FACIAL EXPRESSIONS were the absolut torture... most of the time I had to watch at the wall (away from the tv screen)... she ruined the series 100%.
I'll never ever watch anything again with her, I'm really shocked, I've never experienced something like that before.
It's just a huge pity because the rest of the cast, the story, etc. Was very very good!
But as I said... it's a talent to be able to ruin a whole show by only 1 very, very, veeery bad actrice...
