The Signal (2014)
Started interesting...
I am not sure what to say about this movie.It's not a typical big budget sf with which Hollywood bombards us.And it's a good thing,I am tired of all the effects and zero story.But I am not sure this movie delivers a good,intriguing and mind breaking story,and it certainly tries to do that. Visually film looks actually really good.The acting is fine,and Laurence Fishburne delivers his role great.Actually lately he has done some similar roles.Nevertheless he is good in this movie too.Fits the role perfectly.So the story starts with 3 MIT students on a cross country trip,who take a detour in order to find a hacker who has messed with servers on their college and who is messing with their laptop.They end up in front of a strange odd looking old,obviously abandoned house.Couple of hours later they wake up in a strange hospital looking facility.They learn that they are test subjects,,try to escape only to learn that they are trapped and there is no way out. In the end Nic finds out that they've been abducted and places on a spaceship.Shortly this is the story.There are some questions which are raised in this movie,but I am not sure they are executed very well. Movie tries to be mind bending,but in the end this movie reminded me of the cube and some other movies I've already watched.I am not saying it's a bad movie,keeps attention,but plot is not completely explained and I can think now of couple of movies which intrigued me more than this one.I also believe they should have work more on character development.
Vampire Academy (2014)
I don't like it
I didn't read the books.Had no idea they existed.I saw the trailer and thought to give it a try,because I love vampire movies.I didn't expect much and I have nothing against teenage vampire stories-I only expected to be entertained.I was wrong.This movie offers nothing. In the first 5 minutes or so,you'll get an intro.Who are vampires,who are dhampirs,strigoi and so on.First acting is really,really bad.Almost all scenes felt so artificial.Dialogues are incredibly cheesy.Acting is bad.Just bad.Rose is a character that is a guardian for a vampire future princess.And they tried to portray like they have a strong bond.Her character was so shallow and honestly I was so not convinced.I think that girl was not the best choice.I won't start how bad the love scene with Dimitri was.The entire plot was laughable,so was acting,dialogues,twists if there were any at all.Honestly woudn't recommend this movie to a 5 year old.And yes I am pretty tired of all these movies that have 5 sequels or so.Maybe they should make this as a TV show.At the end you'll get to see a mass of strigois who are obviously planing an attack or something.Can we have for once an one part movie?I am tired of all these sequels.
Lucy (2014)
Not sure about this movie
After hearing from a lot of people how great this movie was,decided to give it a try. I knew before watching what the plot is about, and decided to watch it with the premise that this is an sci - fi movie. However after 10 minutes we are engaged into some philosophical debate about usage of our neurons and brain,and how we use only 10%. Again i could and was willing to suspend belief and watch it as a sf movie,but i had the feeling that director wanted to present this movie as something that could reveal mysteries of life,god,evolution, existence when in fact all the fact are actually wrong.You just can't make a "scientific" movie with 0 correct facts. I didn't hate this movie or love it-I was just indifferent. Too many incorrect facts in the movie which tends to be something more then it actually is- SF/action flick.
The Strain (2014)
could've been better show
I think this show does not deserve such a high rating.Opening episode was solid.Till some point. Whoever created this show had an interesting idea.Unfortunately it is poorly executed. Scenario is very bad,there is practically no character development.Well you get to know the old man a little bit more but,but..Also didn't like acting very much-especially from that doctors wife and her new boyfriend.Than that blood sucking monster you'll get to see by the end of the pilot. Yes i know it is sf and i was expecting to see some unusual creatures but this one looks like a villain from a cartoon.The love story between the main character doctor and his colleague felt so forced and clichéd too.Then there is this when that vampire guy-who is obviously very powerful can't do a thing without local gang member.So he forces him to work for him. I thought this was so not needed and kind of stupid too. I won't say everything is bed in this show,because it is not-like i said i loved the first episode and story is cool to some point,plot is also interesting but to much writing mistakes are going to ruin this show.Not sure if i am going to continue watching this.
The Good Wife (2009)
started good
Well i started watching this show recently.I was intrigued while watching pilot episode-very interesting and somewhat different then most of "lawyer" shows.It's not only about cases it has also back story regarding alicia and her unfaithful husband.Season 1 us full of twists and turns and engaging.we get a very good character development.Characters grow with the time..and by the end of season another love story emerges.It;s between alicia and will,her boss and her friend,who gave her chance to work,after 13 years not working.I think that actor playing will gardner did great job,and chemistry between him and alicia is portrayed very well.Noth did great job as Peter Florrick,and so did Baranski playing Diane Lockhart.All in all acting is pretty well.Season 2 is also great and this one is concentrated on Alicia and Will,their relationship-also very engaging and interesting.However from season 3 i felt something's changed.I felt like they are retelling us the same story again with a minor differences.Now Peter is running for governor.Some of the characters were no more interesting to me,for instance Kalinda-who was such an interesting character in first 2 seasons.Even Alicia,the central character lost something-i felt like the character development stopped here and now we are going back and forth with no particular reason.In my opinion this show could have had 2 or 3 great seasons and then end.All in all it's interesting lawyer show but it starts getting repetitive after a while.But i'd gladly watch again first 2 seasons though.
The Purge (2013)
well...
not sure where to start with this.first the premise of this movie is pretty unbelievable.one day in a year, every year,all crimes,including murder are legal and whatever is done on that night it doesn't count as a crime.they are doing every year so called "purge" in order to maintain order and economy,which were on low levels before the "purge".I find that premise to be totally unrealistic.OK this is just the start,not only the plot is unrealistic,but all the characters seem to be pretty stupid too.The acting is decent and OK,but the problem is the script,dialogues,everything else except acting...First they all have so expensive security systems.Why not go on that particular night to vacation somewhere,anywhere when as i understood from movie the "purge" takes place only in USA.They could have spend that day in Canada,was the first thing crossed my mind.The bad guys in the movie-i mean come on,they are so good at "purging" and what to kill everybody but then they spend half of the night trying to kill only one guy.I bet they could have found more victims outside.Not that i would want to see that anyway.Why only murder is committed,when all crime is legalized i guess we could expect a lot of robberies too and unfortunately all sorts of crimes,right? I'll end here but there are a lot of other stuff i really hated in this movie.I gave it a 2 because acting was OK,but unfortunately wasted.Don't waste your time on this one.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013)
great show
i really liked this show.This is a cop comedy,very witty show.The cast is great and almost every episode has something unique and interesting. This is possibly the first TV show where i like all the characters.They are all great and funny.This show is a perfect parody of other detective shows.The acting is great .It's very refreshing something like this to watch,because almost every show is about violence,murders,sex...nothing of that here.I missed this-just plain humor and jokes and yes no background laughing audience.Huge plus from me,i really started hating that.Andy Samberg is great for his lead role,but others are also important and interesting and funny.All in all worth watching.Give it a try.I recommend this show.
Orphan Black (2013)
thrilling!
This show surprised my.In a positive way.It's very addictive,compelling story,that keeps you wanting more.I love sf genre and this flick fits just right.Every episode is full of twists and turns.This show is so underrated.Basically this is a sf story about human clones.I love the lead actress-she has done such a great job,depicting all those clones.I heard people saying that acting is poor.I disagree totally. Apart from that other female detective ,(i think angela is her name) and maybe paul everybody else in doing a great job.Must admit though the first episode was a bit mixed bag.Didn't now what to expect from TV show but after second episode i was totally hooked.And every other episode from that point on was more and more interesting.Glad i found out about this show.Really liked it
Dead Set (2008)
lame
Couple of nights ago i was trying to find a zombie TV show and came across this.Looked on IMDb,this show got 8.0 rating.I thought, OK i could give it a try, after all 8 is not bad at all.some other TV shows that i actually like had the same rating or even worse then this one.I'll start this review saying that this show does not deserve such a high rating.Not at all.What is good in this show-they portrayed well those big brother contestants.Performances are OK,plot too,could pass,although it doesn't develop much. We never get to know why does this outbreak happen-is this a virus?experiment?how is it going to end?nope.no answers there.That's what i really hated about this show.It seems to me,that this show was so pointless.From the first to the last episode we only get to see how they are all being overwhelmed by zombies.No one is being saved.Nobody survived.They all turned into zombies.And at the end of the show you get the feeling that the entire population is dead and there is nobody alive.OK but give us some answers.What is with that french voice from the radio?what did it say?i mean come on what is the purpose to make a show where we are only going to see how the last 6 people on the planet are being killed and turned into zombies?what is the point.i don't see one. I was annoyed with many more things in this show but i'll name here only couple more -ok zombies are in this flick represented like sprinters-and somehow they can't get out of the small swimming pool?no sense there.and it seems they can't really get over fence ,only there are like 20000 of them at the gates and it seems they can't knock it down? -there is a zombie outbreak of some kind and immediately everybody loses phone signal?why?maybe wires caught the virus too I could go on but no point there.This one is just bad flick.You would want to pass it,unless you like seeing pointless TV show about zombies running around and killing everybody.I don't recommend it.
Disconnect (2012)
interesting movie
wow really loved this movie.it is emotional drama regarding 3 different stories,all connected to the use or better said,misuse of internet.it is interesting story,all characters are developed correctly.You'll get to know and care for characters in this movie.Honestly i haven't seen recently a movie,that made such a big impression on me. Acting is great and all situations in film are real and can happen to anybody.One can easily relate to plot. It's a strong movie that has also shown us,what we already new.The fact that technology and net alienates us instead of bringing us together.Everybody lives in his own world and even family doesn't really knows us.Complex movie worth watching.I recommend it.
Jailbait (2014)
you don't want to watch this
wow this movie was bad on so many levels.poor acting,poor filming,poor script,poor soundtrack...everything is so lame in this movie. I lost interest in like first 10minutes. Basically this is a movie about a molested girl who kills her stepfather by accident.Of course he is a molester.So the girl is brought to juvenile jail.We are supposed to believe she is a girl of 16 or 17.She looks nothing like that.The girl doesn't look like a teenager at all. At this point forward all you will watch are naked girl (or girls) and beating.Some random jail gangs molest her,then warden the again gangs and warden.And then some more of it,till end. There is nothing interesting in this movie.Avoid it at all costs.
Stalingrad (2013)
no,i don't like it!
Honestly this movie is really,really bad.This should've been an epic historical movie about famous battle.Instead i couldn't make myself watch it for 30minutes i was totally bored.I actually couldn't watch it till end and walked out of cinema.I was annoyed. Why would you make such a lame movie with such an interesting story-and a lot of historical facts from which an interesting story could have been made.I love historical movies!This one only has a name of one famous battle from ww2 nothing else.What was OK in movie?-Firstly performances were not actually bad but everyone is playing one -dimensional characters-who are also stereotypes.You get to see cool effects but come on-this story deserves so much more depth and narrative and interesting characters,however it fails totally. There is not a single character in the movie,with whom you can connect and at times some scenes are pretty illogical.Also the movie is packed with boring and uninteresting dialogs.Don't recommend it-fails on every aspect-except effects-that one is perfect,but in my opinion this story deserves much more,not only good visual effects.2/10
Welcome to the Jungle (2013)
could pass
it's a lighthearted,warm movie you'll probably forget the same minute it's over-nothing special or new about it.I found it to be entertaining enough to watch it to the end. Van Damme gives decent performance ,in my opinion.Don't expect anything deep or layered in this movie.Characters are pretty one dimensional,but still lovable.At times i felt like i was watching a kids' movie.The plot is probably hundred times in other movies already used but keeps attention.It starts a bit silly,because we are supposed to believe that office workers would be sent for a corporal retreat to a deserted island.Nevertheless i recommend it cos' it turned out to be exactly what i was expecting from it. I had fun and it entertained me a bit.Good enough for a Sunday leisure.
Reasonable Doubt (2014)
disappointed
This movie could have been so much better. The plot was OK and i thought at first finally an interesting story.However this was actually a predictable movie with 0 chemistry between characters and at times even boring coz' i knew exactly how it was going to end.Samuel L.Jackson gave a good performance.On the other hand in my opinion Dominic Cooper was not a good choice for his role.Then there is this subplot with his stepbrother-which is actually totally irrelevant and brings nothing important to the story. The movie tries to be interesting but it lacks something. And yeah i hated soundtrack,which accompanied this film. It's OK movie to watch if there is nothing better on TV. I don't recommend it.
Carrie (2013)
what was this?
I want to start this review by saying that i am a huge Stephen Kings' fan. Love his books and his writing style. And now about the film-2013 Carrie-didn't like it at all. Where to start-first what's the point of making a remake of de palmas' movie when you can't bring anything new except maybe better graphics?For me this was yet another pointless remake from many, and those started to pile up a lot. Second thing i hated about this new movie is actually the lead actress,girl who played Carrie-she hasn't convinced me at all.Carrie should be creepy,odd looking-don't know something else from what we got. I also missed creepy atmosphere overall in the new movie-in this movie you'll got dull atmosphere and one-dimensional characters. I thought that acting was joke and most of the scenes were boring there was no chemistry between characters. This is possibly the worst adaptation of Kings' book.
Escape Plan (2013)
nice surprise
I wasn't expecting much from this movie, but thought to give it a try as i love 80's action movies and i wasn't wrong. This one is an entertaining movie.I actually liked this movie. It has interesting plot although a bit predictable.i liked to sea Arnold and Stallone together.It's a good action movie.i liked the atmosphere of the movie and was even on edge of the seat couple of times during the movie,although i knew nothing's going to happen to lead actor.The supporting cast has done also solid job. Directing was good. I think it's a nice and refreshing action movie worth watching. It was actually quite an enjoyable movie to watch.
Prisoners (2013)
not bad or good
i wanted to watch this movie so bad.honestly this movie turned out to be something completely different from what i was expecting. First i found this movie to be a bit too long and was a bit boring at the moments. However i did like the acting and atmosphere was dark and completely suitable for this movie and this story.Loved also the drama and how they showed the emotions of a family struck by this misery of a daughter being kidnapped and not knowing how to help her or find her. But at some points the story is too slow for my taste,and then the ending was somewhat disappointing for me. I couldn't say that this movie is predictable and that you know from the start how it is going to end, but it has crossed my mind several times during the movie who the kidnapper is and turned out to be that i was right. All in all i would recommend it but with precaution and must point out once again that the movie is actually slow although a lot of people seem to think that every scene is important, i believe that they actually needed to cut some scenes and the story had to move faster.
[Rec] (2007)
bad
I am not sure why this movie got 7.5, i wanted last night to watch a good horror movie and decided to give this one a try. First of all plot was OK for a zombie-virus-movie. That was somewhat OK, although a bit predictable. For instance i knew immediately that dog and the little girl are probably responsible for the strange virus...In general OK story that could pass as solid zombie "wanna be" movie. But there is one problem with this movie-first of all lead character-she starts screaming 10 minutes after beginning of the movie and never ends, that i found totally annoying and honestly wanted her bit by those zombies. Second thing i didn't like is camera work-so OK it was supposed to be a real footage, nice idea-but i t was to shaky and 80% of the movie i couldn't see what's going on,only hearing that lead girl screaming and screaming. Some parts of the movie are totally blurred and honestly i would appreciate more, when at some point the cameraman had put down his cam, especially when 20 zombies are attacking him. It is pretty unbelievable that he would continue shooting,when his life is in danger.And then there is end they come to an attic where they find some strange articles about possessed girl-that didn't make any sense at all and honestly by that point the movie was filled already with clichés and i was tired of camera work so that i didn't care less how the movie was going to end. Give it 3 coz it was nice idea bad executed.
Oblivion (2013)
disappointed
this movie was bad on so many levels.i give it 3 coz' graphics are great and i enjoyed in that.however the graphics can't make a good movie. i was really looking forward to watch this movie and then a big disappointment.first of all movie starts to slow yes you get to see beautiful scenery and graphics but it takes just too long,and then when the movie (after 20 minute more or less) finally starts- you get a mixture of 20 previous sf movies. a big let down - nothing new, the story retold 200 times and honestly i felt like i was watching trailer for 20 other better movies, i kept thinking while i was watching oblivion -wow this is taken from matrix and this one from Moon and so on i could name 10 more movies that are incorporated in this one. my advice skip this one and watch something else
That's My Boy (2012)
liked it
it is a typical adam sandler movie.i'd say a little better then last few.i liked the plot and although it is not hilarious funny movie it provides enough jokes and it is interesting to watch.Compared for instance to jack and jill this is a great movie, but i would not say however that,it is better then his older movies.I liked how they played a little bit with '80 celebrities and it was funny to watch Vanilla Ice in action ,maybe plot get's a bit weak at some point and some scenes are unbelievable , but it's OK because this is that kind of movie-movie for entertainment.I think that this actually is one of his better movies lately. All in all good for a Sunday afternoon relaxation
Dark Skies (2013)
could have been better
dark skies...i's say this movie is a mixture of a few other movies i have watched.it brings actually nothing new and interesting,the story reveals slowly through the movie. Spoilers: a family in suburbs suddenly starts to experience odd events. flying dishes, strange symbols,loss of memory,kid starts to draw odd pics of himself and aliens mom googles up and finds other odd stories.. sounds familiar right?however it keeps attention and although i was pretty sure that i knew already how the film was going to end, i continued watching it-that's why i gave it 4-it is somewhat interesting and at times spooky,although predictable and a bit slowly,however that does not make a great movie in my opinion.i'll skip right to the end-wenn scary aliens come to abduct one of the kids-mom and dad were told (earlier in the movie)by an UFO-expert that they should stick together and try to fight back so they buy a dog a gun and put some wood on windows in order to protect themselves.some kind of expert right?i found this part of movie totally ridiculous.an then the end -they abduct one kid and the abducted boy contacts with younger brother through walkie talkie-again i thought that was pretty absurd-and then the movie ends just like that.i felt like something was missing like they haven't ended this movie properly. 4/10 good for entertainment but nothing special
Schläfer (2005)
boring
This is one of the worst movies i've ever seen.Pointless and confusing plot.The story was so slow that i caught myself thinking about something else.I couldn't connect myself both to the characters and story.Some of the scenes were too prolonged and absolutely boring.For instance at some point of the movie they play PC game so for the next 15 minutes we are watching them playing it (need for speed,CS and so on)and it goes on,i could count at least 7 more scenes that lasted for about 10 minutes without any of characters saying a word.When the movie was over i could not remember what was it exactly about. Don't waste your time.
Robot & Frank (2012)
warm movie
i watched this movie without a clue what is it about and honestly this movie surprised me pleasantly.it is about aging,relationship between grown up kids and their parents,loneliness...in one word this is a story of an ordinary man. i found a lot of parts of movie to be pretty realistic and i liked a lot robot helper and his relationship with Frank (Frank Langella).at first like every old man who is against new technical mambo jumbo frank wants to get rid of robot-helper,but then bit by bit their relationship changes,evolves and finally Frank sees robot as his only friend. some parts of the movie were perhaps a bit exaggerated (for instance Frank,who was a professional robber ,now in his 70-s still can make a robbery of the year without getting caught) but i didn't mind them on contrary i found them to be completely perfectly incorporated in the story,and i liked how they put the hole story in "near future" as it is said at the beginning of the movie.and the robot was completely realistic and i liked dialogues between frank and robot..all in all interesting and warm movie
Anna Karenina (2012)
what is this
visually this movie is great.i liked the costumes also,and i believe Jude law did a great job here depicting Annas' husband.as far as i am concerned this is pretty much all that i liked in this movie.honestly i was expecting more.nothing from the book directors (and actors) couldn't get right on the screen.when i first saw the actor who was playing Vronsky on the screen i knew this movie isn't going in the right direction.he was simply not the best actor for this movie,maybe i had in my head completely different picture of Anna and vronsky but these two just didn't meet my expectations.role of Anna karenina was also not well played.i didn't get nothing of what i was expecting-love,lust,embarrassment and so many other emotions that the lead characters experience in the book.i didn't care for what is going to happen with Anna and vronsky it was forced and with no depth really,just pretty pictures.and emotionless played.except Jude law who did pretty good job. i was completely disappointed with this movie and i don't recommend it.better to watch older versions of this movie if you are expecting to experience a little of Tolstoys' Anna karenina.
The Man with the Iron Fists (2012)
bad bad bad
Maybe I was expecting something else or maybe my expectations were very high-in any case I didn't like this movie.plot was more then weak,fight scenes were very unrealistic and I found them to be actually quite boring.there was not one character in this movie that I could relate to or care for.by the end of the movie I was half a sleep and couldn't recall what was this movie about when my friend asked me what's this movie about.and what bothered me most is the soundtrack - I think it was so bad and it didn't go with this movie especially rap music (i think they tried to make an old school rap record but it was really really bad).and finally the acting-everything felt like this movie was filmed 30 years ago,even russel crowe (whom i found to be a quite good actor) is here quite bad which i was not expecting.all in all total waste of time
