Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)

Please no more of these Venom movies

[2/10 · 6 November 2021]

+ Great CGI + Good performances of Hardy & Harrelson

+/- Average action

• Terrible plot
• Lame humor
• Stupid dialogues & interactions
• Most actors very unlikable & annoying
• Worst possible portrayal of Venom & Carnage
• Too childish & predictable
• Horrible soundtracks

Overall, much worse than I expected.

The Lodge (2019)

Don't expect anything

[4/10 · 11 July 2021]

Don't expect anything. It's extremely boring and has no meaning at all. I give it 4, because I thought something will happen and kept watching until the end, hoping it would have some interesting twist.

No, it doesn't.

Hereditary (2018)

God damn the ending...

[5/10 · 27 May 2021]

Great movie, but the last 10 minutes was just a total pornography. One of the worst endings I've ever seen, they just molested such a beautiful, tense, intriguing movie like that... I feel violated.

It Chapter Two (2019)

It was a comedy gem

[3/10 · 8 May 2021]

If you're looking for a thrilling horror movie, you should avoid it. On the other hand, we had some really great laughs while watching this with my wife.

"Kiss me fat boy" or the Leper twisting his tongue to insert it into the woman's throat was just hilarious.

Pennywise is a great comedian and the best and funniest character in this movie 😁😂

The Pale Door (2020)

Not good, not terrible

[4/10 · 31 January 2021]

The best thing about this movie is the idea, although not very well executed. Some of the actors were quite likable, the make up of the witches was really good in my opinion, gruesome and creepy, the village and the costumes were nice as well and it had a bit of tension, until the "action" took place. Although not as action-packed as the trailer, it did have a few moderate gun fights, but nothing exciting honestly. Some moments were extremely dumb. A lot of annoying talk, some of it unnecessary and a few stupid even. Music isn't satisfying and seems like it doesn't fit at all. Considering the budget, some of the above mentioned aspects are understandable, but it still feels like they could've done much more with such an interesting idea. I liked the plot, but it wasn't served well unfortunately. You can give it a try if you really don't know what to watch, but don't expect much.

Brightburn (2019)

Horrible

[1/10 · 29 January 2021]

Nothing good about it. Just a meaningless gore with no good backstory or purpose.

The VVitch: A New-England Folktale (2015)

Nothing happened in this movie

[1/10 · 14 January 2021]

Literally, nothing happened. It's just you sitting through an hour and a half in hope that something is about to go wrong. But no, nothing.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)

Great movie. Very different from others.

[9/10 · 25 July 2019]

I personally loved this film. Yes, it was a little long (2 hrs. 40 min.), but it didn't bore me even for a minute. The movie beautifully depicts how a short time happiness can be worth the whole life. It shows the life and death in a very different way and makes you ponder about the fact, that everything we hold dear, everything we love, will eventually disappear, and that the we have to get over it - simply to let it go.

Through Benjamin's eyes we can see different angles of people's lifes and get a picture of it. The house of the elderly - their last moments, their wisdom and their weak moments, when they become like children again (with Alzheimer and other diseases). The sailor's life on the sea, their adventures, struggles, the enjoyment they pursue - brothels and alcohol. The life of young talented dancer, who dedicates her whole life to it and yet, gets into an accident after which her career ends. The life of a young couple in love, who unfortunately know they don't have much time together. And finally, the sacrifice which Benjamin makes for his love and his daughter, so that they can live happily, even if he doesn't. And of course, the love of Daisy towards Benjamin - when she takes care of him in his outmost difficulty.

This movie makes you understand, that all of us are pursuing the same end, yet in a very different way. Nothing lasts forever, and you have to simply live the moment. Fully enjoy the little good time you have.

To whom didn't see this masterpiece, I strongly recommend to do so. But prepare that not much action actually happens, it is the simple things of an extraordinary life, directed and portrayed perfectly - the reflex of real life, just backwards :)

Yu Yu Hakusho: Ghost Files (1992–1995)

Anime of my childhood

[10/10 · 21 June 2019]

I watched this anime when I was 7-8 years old for the first time. I loved it then, and now, after 15 years, when I watched it completely 4 times already - I still love it. Especially the Dark tournament and the Three Kings sagas.

Zakon kamennykh dzhungley (2015–2017)

Unrealistic. Sad attempt of American-style show

[1/10 · 21 June 2019]

The story is horrible, the actors are pitiful and the attempt to discredit people of Caucasus origin (Chechnya, Dagestan, Azerbaijan) was just ridiculous. This type of "fights" (if you can call it a fight), only happens in russian cinematography.

Garbage

Scarface (1983)

My favorite movie so far

[10/10 · 21 June 2019]

Perfect from the beginning to an end! Unlike The Godfather (which without a doubt is a great trilogy), it's not boring even for a minute. Tony's way from the bottom to the top is rapid and exciting, without boring talks here and then. Al Pacino did an excellent job portraying his character. Definitely a must watch, if you haven't seen it yet :) - but it does get brutal at some moments, so it's not for everyone.

Fizruk (2014–2017)

Great show :)

[9/10 · 21 June 2019]

This is the type of show that you watch to get a good laugh and relax and to bother yourself with difficult plot to understand. As mentioned before, first three seasons are perfect, the last one... not at all... it doesn't even follow up the previous events and all of the characters that you get to love just dissapeared and were replaced by new ones, who are just boring compared to the ones before... Nevertheless, except the 4th season, this series is great :)

Game of Thrones (2011–2019)

A perfect show with, unfortunately, not a very good ending

[8/10 · 21 June 2019]

The writing of this show was amazing through the first seven seasons. I was impatiently waiting for the last one, which definitely wasn't what I expected. I don't mean that the ending must satisfy absolutely everyone, but this was just really rushed forward and couple of questions remains unanswered. Of course not all of them could be, the series is a masterpiece and so elaborated, they just couldn't fill all the endings they intended. But truth is, the writers themselves set the bar too high. Is Jon Snow Azor Ahai? What is the intention of the white walkers? These are the two main questions I would love to be answered and I would rate it a 10 star show, nevertheless the ending was just pitiful...

On the other hand, the story was very well written, the characters were brilliantly portrayed and described with a story on it's own (my personal favorite is Stannis Baratheon), the CGI was marvelous, the acting was outstanding by most of the actors, the costumes, the battles, just all of it. I must admit I loved it. It's just the ending that left me unsatisfied... I personally agree with most of the fans who think they should've made it at least 10 seasons, to wrap it up nicely.

Breaking Bad (2008–2013)

Absolute Top TV series - 11/10

[10/10 · 20 June 2019]

BB is an absolutely outstanding TV show, that I've finished watching 4 times completely through, from the 1st episode to the last. And I will definitely come back to it after some time again! The story is not just catchy and extremely interesting with every episode, but also completely thought through. Every decision that the characters do or decisions they make, will definitely have consequences later on, I mean nothing happens without a reason - it is perfectly written. The outstanding transformation of the main character Walter White to Heisenberg during 5 seasons is just brilliant. Your opinion on this character (and not just him) may change with every couple of episodes. You sympathize with Walt in the beginning and can understand his motivations, but later on, when he develops into a literal monster, you just feel disgusted with him. After seeing how he cares for his family, and even Hank and Jesse, whom both turned on him (and both probably with a good reason), and he still tries to save both of them, you just start to feel a bit sympathy for him again. At the end when everyone abandons him and he atones himself, I just couldn't hold my emotions. Just felt very sorry for him again. All of the actors played their roles marvelously and music choices were perfect and always fit the mood at the screen. Beside all of that, this show is very credible and mostly reflects real life - Vince Gilligan just made a perfect reflection of how difficult it gets when you're looking for "the easy way of getting money". So much suffering, violence, uncertainty, fear for life, loss of close ones and unexpected circumstances around you. How frustrating it is, until you actually achieve something, in this "profession". I personally loved that Walt's former intention (until he became Heisenberg) to sustain his family after his death and leave some money, escalates in the worst possible ending - he looses his family - because of his own choices and he must endure the repercussions alone. My personal absolute favorite show so far, definitely a must watch :)
