20segi sonyeo (2022)
Did it for me
I like this film. This is a proper nostalgic movie that captured the transition to the 21st century. Though the title is not so much related to film.
SPOILER ALERT.
I dont understand how they sew the storyline and transformed this into a light hearted to "you will bawl your eyes crying" in a snap.
I was okay with the childlike conflict of the best friends falling in love with the same guy and that friendship will prevail and still find a way to make everybody happy. I was prepared for that.
What i wasnt prepared was with the TWIST. It's simple but it was well done. Like also that they didnt overshare. Did it for me and I for sure cried.
Leave the World Behind (2023)
Dont get it
I mah be slow to pick up things but tbh i still dont know what this movie is about - sans reading any explainer or article.
It's not even entertaining, conflict was okay but not clear enough and there was no resolution offered at all.
I enjoy some open ended shizz but this didnt do it for me. I feel like it's trying to be deep, dramatic at the expense of a real storyline. Camera angles are distracting - it's dated and doesnt do anything for the movie.
The cast was the redeeming factor - they seem to act consistent to their characters and agenda.
At this point i dont have any more to say just completing the minimum characters for review - i dont know when they started requiring this.
Intrusion (2021)
Dont waste your time
I trusted the ones who voted 10, and decided to watch - excited at that.
But no dont ever bother watching this. The protaganist is way too stoopid and seem to wanna wing things. Ugh x100000z.
The Boy Next Door (2015)
Love JLO but it's another story for Claire
I hate characters who make stupidest decisions. The danger is not going to be lesser just because the characters think smart; the thrill would still be there. In this film, it's as if they are too scared to make Claire think so they made her make the most illogical actions.
1. You have a hunch that the person is a killer but you wouldnt tell the cop who you are speaking with. Instead you would run and tell your friend????? WHAT WOULD CAN THE FRIEND DO? WHAT WAS THE POINT?
2. The fight scenes - i cant anymore. This is so frustrating. I love JLO but this movie is too badly written. Im sorry.
El practicante (2020)
The ending ruined it
Spoiler! Was going fine until the end but the ENDING doesnt make sense. Why would the character spend time torturing her husband when the entire movie is about escaping him. It just doesnt connect for me. Sorry. Wish it ended differently.
I Care a Lot (2020)
Entertainment value
I dont understand the overwhelming bad reviews. I mean it does not have the best plot but the movie was made to entertain and I am all for it. It is incredibly conflicting personally to root for the main character but the ending actually cured it. The message: you reap what you sow.
Anyway, for me, it is not a WASTE OF TIME.
It is actually one of the best movies ive watched recently. Rosamund Pike was superb as usual!!!
The Kingmaker (2019)
Became president to maximize wealth
Imelda said it herself. Marcos wanted to be president because he wanted to maximize his wealth and talent when a president supposedly gets fewer pesos than a private entity execs.
This documentary offers an interesting take on the Marcoses. It serves as a prelude to the current political landscape in the Philippines. It brings two contrasting narration of events but with a nice treatment where the viewer, no matter how naive, will understand who's telling the truth.
This modern take on story telling is designed for the youtube generation. It quickly moves from one topic to the other so as to keep the audience attention. Didnt waste any minute.
Thank you for this documentary. Every Filipino should watch this.
Operation Finale (2018)
Boring
Over dramatized. The cast didnt deliver as well. The runway part would never compare to Argo's. I dont know but this film just didnt do anything for me.
Mile 22 (2018)
Movie starts at 47 mins
What is up with this film oozing with attitude? It's like 47 mins of pure attitude. The writers also got excited with military strategy, they had to get a thesaurus and explain every single detail which did not do the film any good. Characters are unlikeable, don't get me started with Wahlberg.
Even the twist could not save the movie. If you're thinking of watching this, choose another one.
The Post (2017)
Meryl Streep is 🔥
This movie has a very simple plot but the story telling was superb. The acting is extraordinary. The dining room scene was my favorite. Meryl street is a treasure, always.
Equity (2016)
will take a while
First half was boring, didn't like the characters and paced slowly. Yet, the second part was GOLD. The struggles of Anna Gunn became more apparent, made me want to root for her. Erin is still annoying.
I just wish it ended better. I mean Naomi wouldn't get that high up if she doesn't know how to get around politics (made it seem as if she depended on her boss for promotion). I would have loved if she did some last minute bad ass move that would make her win and find a way to throw Erin under the bus.
It might be realistic but I think it is a lazy way to end the film.
No Escape (2015)
Proper suspense but story is unrealistic
I dont understand how the writers came up with this unrealistic storyline. They just dont make sense. How come the rioters find the all the individuals for cardiff? Do they have a tracker? They just shoot even in an area full of locals, they dont care if they might kill, let's say family members? Nah, just doesnt work for me.
What Happened to Monday (2017)
great action scenes plot could've been better
This movie had so much potential. action scenes were stellar. the ending just didn't make sense for me. I mean, there could have been better twists but yes Noomi Rapace is commendable
Hustlers (2019)
yes yes yes
JLO was it. She portayed the character really well - cunning and likeable at the same time. Go watch it.
Miss Bala (2019)
I dont mind having part 2
There's nothing much to do with the plot but Gina Rodriguez managed to keep my interest. She's the sweet yet hot heroine. I woulnd mind having Miss Bala part 2 now that she's CIA. Just a better plot this time and a probably a partner. :)
Little (2019)
Fun
It's not new but who needs new when you're entertained. Best scenes are with regina hall.
Ding dong ding dong is classic!
Watch it.
White House Down (2013)
Wasted cast
Movie is really corny. Too bad for the promising cast
The Good Fight (2017)
The Good Fight gets it
Best series on air now. Characters are likeable except Jay dipersia and that white nationalist recurring.
Everything else is perfect. Watch it. Watch it now.
Pine Gap (2018)
Where is Season 2?!!
Plot is tight. Main characters are likeable and acted really well. Hope to see more from this group.
Knock Down the House (2019)
A gem
I really love that Netflix was able to document this hell of a journey. This real life event is truly an inspiration for certain countries have no faith in their respective governments. This victory is an important symbol of democracy if only people will belive and start taking actions.
Skyscraper (2018)
Fun yet unbelievable
It was enjoyable. Keeps you on the edge. However, the plot is really incredibly unrealistic. I mean who can jump from a crane to the building that tall and not be blown by some wind?
How come all of them are still breathing after being exposed by smokes?
It's a good movie to kill time. :) dont watch if you expect realistic plot
Us (2019)
Only the trailer would get a 10
I know people are raving about this film. I also got excited with the trailer. It was so messed up I needed to watch the film ASAP.
Unfortunately, it was a big disappointment. Plot does not make sense (some are claiming there are symbolisms that ought not to be missed), but hey, one can make a good film with fuller plot and still have social relevance and symbolisms.
I guess the movie just got lazy and focused too much on the shock factor which didnt deliver. We thriller fans need a resolution and a plot that makes sense.
Acting was good though. Elizabeth Moss stole the screen for me. Overall, Get Out is way superior.
Triple Frontier (2019)
Good cast bad plot
The movie couldve done better that cast. Premise was okay but the second half and the ending were really bad.
Hunter Killer (2018)
It's a great film!
I don't understand why this film didn't have higher ratings. It was a great thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat. There are some cheesy parts but who cares when you're well entertained!!!
This is a ten for me!
The Good Place (2016)
Surprising!
Had to stop on the second episode. For some reason, i didnt think it was connecting. But yeah, because it's Kristen Bell, i decided to continue and woah, the next episodes really surprised me. I liked the twists and it is really well-casted. Everyone seems to be a natural.
And please make Maya Rudolph a regular. Her character is forking hillarious
