Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)
This movie is the eraser for the 2016's mistake.
Yes this movie was made for the fans, yes there is a lot of "nostalgia porn", and yes, the story could have been better. But hey, you got everything you need to have a great time, it is popcorn time, you should enjoy it!
Ghostbusters 1984 will never be equalled but this one brings the fans what they wanted and explains a lot of stuff that remained obscure. There is no vulgarity, no insults, no stupid sarcasm, it's refreshing. The CGs are good, the music is the same as before, and you can see Egon at the end.
The 80s Ghostbusters were made for fun, the 2016's one was a mistake that nobody wants to remember and this one is the perfect eraser we needed to forget.
Just enjoy.
Murder on the Orient Express (2017)
Murdering Murder on the Orient Express...
What to say? It is a dull movie, Kenneth Branagh's Poirot isn't convincing at all, his French accent is bad, his mustache too big ... damn! Johnny Depp did not get the Ratchett's character right as well.
The ending!!!! Poirot almost crying, .. really ( I would not even speak about the sequences where he stares at his girlfriend's picture... that is not Poirot) !??
What about the sequel , "Death on the Nile" ? At the end, a guy goes to Poirot and tells him there has been a murder in Egypt, probably opening the door to the famous " Death on the Nile". The problem is that the movie doesn't start by the murder and Poirot is already on the Nile when it occurs ( both in the book and the previous version of Death on The Nile).
The only good point is the photography. It looks good, nice CGs, I wish they would had Computer generated the actors as well...
This movie is just bad. Peter Ustinov and Albert Finney did such great jobs as Poirot, just watch the originals, they rock.
Mom and Dad (2017)
Great idea but...
Spoilers ahead ***
Remember The Happening? Mass suicides on the east coast, nobody knows why...Here, same concept, different execution, you don't know why the parents are doing that and still don't know why at the end. Nic Cage is Nic Cage, as usual, playing the intense guy, Selma Blair is great, but neither her or Cage's performances are enough to save what could have been a great horror flick.
It seems to me that they started shooting the movie on a good day and finished it on a bad one.
