Late Night with the Devil (2023)
I wanted to like this one
Premise was fine. Acting was good. Plot... slightly deranged. I would not watch again, quite messy and pointless at times. Had high expectations on this one.
Trying to glue different stories together didn't add up but made it more confusing .
I had to rewatch a few scenes to try and make some sense out of it. Can't say I always succeeded.
Nevertheless, I have to say I found some parts catchy enough to justify the watch, but suddenly things took a detour for the worse.
I hope others enjoy it more than I did and find more sense to it than in my case . It did have lots of potential. So have your own experience.
Cuando acecha la maldad (2023)
AVOID AT ALL COSTS
I was eager to give this a chance having heard and read so many positive reviews. The "don't believe the hype" phrase comes to mind, and never more accurately.
The cast is made of relatively unknown people, which would be, by no means , something negative... if they could actually act. Not the case. I haven't seen such poor acting performances in a long time, to a point I started wondering if was maybe a satire. Sadly , no. No scene is even slightly credible, I kept thinking "this cannot be happening " all the time, it's cheap 90s soap opera acting, at best.
Moving on to the plot, absolutely ridiculous. The aim of the movie is not to scare you, but to make you uneasy just for the sake of it, going for the dirtiest tricks in the box: slaughtering children , a pregnant woman, and displaying a disabled child as a burden to the running away bunch.
This is sinister , and not in a good horror movie way.
Past Lives (2023)
Read the description and you have seen the movie
A nice trip to Snoozeland. A plausible cure to insomnia. I can't believe I sit through this until the end. Nothing happens, like ever, it's like watching a picture on the wall for a few hours, and that's it.
Why is this thing so highly rated evades any reasons I might be able to conceal.
I know it's been a tough year for movies, Barbie and Oppenheimer were also terribly dull , but this movie is worse than those two combined.
I was expecting someone to show any sort of emotion at some point but actors seem to have been taken from Madamme Tussaud's and placed in NYC facing a bridge. Oh my God.
The Harbinger (2022)
Avoid at all costs
Oh boy this was bad. Terribly bad.
There's a reason why class z movies are called like that, and this film is clear example of it. I can't recall having watched a more bizarre, pointless and erratic horror film in my life, well maybe The Fog could be a suitable contender in this category.
From the way it has been filmed and executed , to the dialogues and photography, everything looks like a tv movie made with 5 bucks and doubtful good intentions.
It's absolutely unfathomable to me what was the story trying to portray.
I hope no one else wastes time on this cinematic atrocity. Avoid at all costs.
Ostatnia wieczerza (2022)
Pointless
I guess it must be hard to make a "demonic possession film" more boring than your regular 4 pm soap opera. But guess what: you're in for a treat.
The plot is goes round and round about incoherent things, too many loose ends and parallel stories that have apparently nothing to do with each other.
The main character is Satan's son turned into a police man who is set to investigate this weight watchers on aderall convent. What for? Be my guest. Then he finds out the monks kill women for fun and drink their blood expecting Satan to show up... by praying in Latin. Only to find out, Satan would rather eat a lemon pie with Christina Aguilera than show up there. And I totally get his point.
The new Barbie movie has more terrifying moments than this film. The las 7 minutes have the most compelling and interesting of the whole film. I'm so bored I could pass out. Don't waste your time.
Empire of Light (2022)
A love letter to hope and second chances
The cast is top-notch. A dream come true. This is beautiful cinema that warms your heart. Performances are otherworldly, music is gorgeous and the storyline absolutely compelling. An ode to love, life and moving forward, no matter what.
Photography is absolutely on point.
I can't stress enough how good Olivia is. She's definitely one of the best actresses alive. How she pictures someone with a mental illness is outstanding. It's also good that circumstance is picture from a love and respect angle, not judgemental at all.
If you come across this, give it a chance or will probably light up your day and rekindle your spirits.
Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
Please, please, please!!! Watch this movie
I can't encourage people enough to give this film a chance. I've laughed and cried equally. It's warmed my heart. This is truly a work of art. I'm watching it again.
Fresh (2022)
Absolutely brilliant
After spending (wasting) 2 hrs of my life watching Licorice Pizza I decided to give my night a second chance, really glad I did.
This is the best thriller I've seen in ages. Filled with dark humour and great (GREAT) music .
Licorice Pizza (2021)
2 hours of my life I'm never getting back ... and I am so sorry for it
I was entirely mis-lead by the positive reviews... it goes absolutely nowhere , makes no sense whatsoever. The plot is one disconnected event after the other.
I guess someone thought something like this would make either high art or an enjoyable movie. To me , it was torturous . Stay away from this mess.
Life (2020)
It warmed my heart
The characters are amazingly built. The plot is wonderful and it touches many of our everyday's existential issues with such grace and humanity ... I'm going to watch it again soon. I am so glad I stumbled upon this... I can't recommend it enough.
Malignant (2021)
Bizarre at best
Sorry but I just ... I Just can't believe I've watched this abomination of a movie in its entirety. So there must be something appealing that scapes my capabilities of understanding....
The Pact (2021)
Don't feel comfortable with the message
Just because you're young then you get away with murder... literally... it pretty much sums up the trouble with this generation , throw a "troubled" teenager who cannot keep their pants on and a dead person , and then get some lame adult to pay for their actions. Just let them kids sit and pity themselves while living off their parents forever and killing folks. At least they got that right 😂😂
Wszyscy moi przyjaciele nie zyja (2020)
Surprisingly good
This came out of the blue for me. Never thought a movie from Poland would mock religion and show people of the same sex kissing. I'm beyond thrilled. - and happy-.
I have to to say this made me laugh my socks off. Script is brilliant , performances outstanding , music just glorious (wink wink nudge nudge Gloria). I'd watch it again. Dark comedy at its best.
Spice World (1997)
Hilarious
I have watched this film several times and still have fun doing so. Victoria alone is worth the watch. That woman is indeed a great -and underrated- comedian, I wish (no pun intended) she was acknowledged for that. The rest of the girls are just adorable. Loved the singing bits, songs and reworks from their hit singles we all love are performed.
The film satirises their rose to fame and everyday life while at the peak of SpiceMania. I am a huge fan of British comedy, and this movie is a great piece of that. I doesn't matter how young or old you are, this movie is for everyone and it will surely make you smile.
