La cité de la peur (1994)
A cult movie
Always the same thing : you are receptive to this kind of humor, or not... and I loved it the first time I watched it.
Instead of watching anything from "The Splendid" band ("Les Bronzés 3" is really bad), just try this movie : old but still funny, "Les Nuls" in their best performance (and the last, I suppose). I my opinion, don't try to compare it to The Monty Pythons, because it's never intentionally smart and serious. Their touch is just different.
Cult sentences still in memories, this underestimated movie should never be forgotten.
The Art of Racing in the Rain (2019)
Rather boring
I watched this movie because of the great reviews with so high ratings, although my feeling of the trailer was not good... and I was right. The movie is not so bad, but it looks like a TV movie (and that is not a compliment) :
- the story takes place in the wonderful world of good feelings, with dramas that always happen to shatter this tranquility,
- you encounter the same clichés and "déjà vu" scenes common to so many TV movies,
- the acting is not impressive at all, with actors playing the same way most of the time,
- no risk in the direction,
- etc...
If you like very much dogs and TV movies, it may suit you, but otherwise it is just another common production in the galaxy of flat movies.
Conclusion : trust your impression, not the reviews.
