Life After Beth (2014)
Movie that completely destroyed its potential
This movie started off as a promising one. As it progressed, you would already know its base story-line, but that isn't a bad thing itself. It could have become a typical zombie movie with its thrills and all. If done right, still great to see, as always. But you start noticing this is actually a comedy.
The 2nd half of the movie completely turns the whole thing upside down to a full-on comedy that was not even funny. That's a big disappointment and you actually don't want to watch anymore but still sit through it anyway. It goes like this throughout the entire 2nd half of the movie. No content at all. Even though the 1st half was promising and set up a great foundation for a good movie. Also because the actors were great and the setting and refinements of the movie by general were all good.
Supernatural: Bitten (2012)
a Classic Supernatural episode
Viewers who watched Supernatural from the beginning, will know why this is a typical Supernatural episode. At the core of this show, there is this amazing ability to create these amazing 1-episode stories every single time. Like it's giving us an actual movie every week.
These episodes have always been less about Sam & Dean and more about the story and all of its characters. That is what the show was founded on since the very first episodes. Sam & Dean make the episode cool and we love going through the episode with them, no matter how much screen-time they get.
There are side stories and background stories that lead to a season final, but that is a whole other part of Supernatural's core success. These 1 episode stories are something to fall back on and it's the basics of Supernatural. And this one was a real deep and intense one. Better than average. Especially in the way they ended it.
I should say something about the camera-perspectives. It did not bother me. It can be bothering, but it was not like that in this episode. They handled it in a fine way. I get it if it's better for a certain episode to do it this way. Just don't do it too often.
The Fast and the Furious (2001)
One of those underrated movies
This was an actual 'movie'. The sequels were just entertainment takes. People forgot about the actual contents of this movie.
The main part of the movie is the trust-and-suspect-relationship between (undercover agent-) Brian and Dominic with his team. This is a red line in the movie and made you want to keep watching.
Somewhere along the way, you lose awareness of Brian's mission and start respecting Dominic's team. You want Brian to get into the group and be with the beautiful cute girl. It is about 'the family'.
It was also about Dom being a unique character who tells you about his past, his father's race, the 10-second-race story and all. It was exactly how a movie about cars, races and action should be. Simple but powerful and beautiful.
This was all build up really well. In a cool traditional (unforced) way, we were introduced with cool cars, cool people, street-racing and stuff.
Before the end, a series of events happened that made you very excited. These events that happened are somehow connected and brought a sort of realistic thrilling experience. Here, the acting skills were superb and the drama in the scenes were pictured in a pitch-perfect traditional way. Brian was a lot tougher here than in the sequels where he was like Dom's slave or something.
It's beautiful to see Brian and Dom at the end: Brian betrayed him and should arrest him but instead, they do the 10 second-race and don't know what to think about each other. This race was one of the most memorable scenes in film-history. After Dom hits the truck and survives the air-spinning of his car, Brian gave him the keys of his car, his car that has just also finished the 10-second-race. So, he finally gave Dom a 10-second-car and by doing that, he officially shows that he is not going to arrest him anymore.
Somehow, he knew that Dom should not be sent to jail all along, even though he appeared to be a trucker-thief after-all......
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011)
A pretty good movie within its sort
MI-4 is a very intense action movie that is quite unique in the action genre. The MI-style of infiltrating, being undercover and performing mission-based activities has been brought to a higher level. This is also applied in a more constant way during the movie. These MI-stylish activities are more genius, fun, exciting and spectacular than ever.
You won't lose sight of the storyline, like in some more complicated action-movies. After a while, you will still know what is happening but it's not too simple either. There is a feeling of realism in this movie. You can get easily get drawn into the experience as it is not even near 'overdone'.
I thought of MI-1 and MI-2 as amazingly good movies. I cannot compare those to MI-4 because it's just too different. Eventually, i would still prefer MI-1 and MI-2. MI-4 however, is definitely way and way better than MI-3. MI-3 was simply a terrible flop in comparison to MI-4. Everything that MI-3 tried to accomplish was very successful in MI-4.
I would suggest that you watch this movie as soon as possible.
