Spirited (2022)
4/10
Great spin off of a classic but with the same message with a modern twist
3 January 2024
I love the movie; they have good, funny elements in it, and the musical elements give it a surprising twist. Not so boring. It's easy-made and cheap, but it shows you only need a little to make things good. The story is long but does take a lot of time even though the story does not need it. It's a very classic holiday movie type and American, of course. The acting could be better. I love the twist of a classic, but this one is just for a bit older age and is not a real family movie makes it the downfall of the movie as it should, or else you cannot really say it is a holiday movie. The sound is good.

Resident Evil (2022)
3/10
I am not sure why so many hate??
25 December 2023
Clearly the acting needs to step up but. The innovative elements I really like that they are taking away from the original serie making more possibilities instead of another remake of the orignal making it needs to meet all the points or else fans will be mad. The elemetns are innovative but also highly unlikely making it dragging down the quality of the movie but also because of some elements are good and who is writing it is good. Also needs to give points the the scenery makers as they really put effort into it instead of just green screen it. Like the special make up did a good job. I do need to say they push alot of orginal elements in short time like they need to for fill the.needs and expectation of fans but rush it too much. Also each episode seems like another input making it flows too not smooth. The sound is not great, such a let-down. It is clearly a build up towards a sequel and so much potential but making it too obvious making it hard to watch as it is so broken and try to hype the situation all the time but also leaving you in the dark. There is too much luck, making audience thing serious. So much potentail also they are too focus too detailed on the main chrachters life innstead of given the audience broader community and in what world they are living now they gave too little making hard to see the conext and scrap what you get once in awhile information.

Dark Paradise (2023)
3/10
Strong movie, that slowly holding grip on you without knowing
5 December 2023
The contrast between security and confident but also what is hidden in their self. Their upraise is one of the reason for their behavior and actions. Also it clearly shows how fragile we are as human but also our identity. Or is it that we release our inner idenity. Also it does not just blast open but slowly unfold by events. The acting is not great except of the main male player as he really turn 180 in his character. The camera work is not great. I do need to say the scenery is good put effort but not with money. Realistic enough but missing real connection to reality it feels too much movie. Maybe we swtich too much between the scenes instead of smoother movement through the movie. A good dark movie needs more darker place to get it flip over now it is too shallow to make it more to a point of no return and make it more towards reality so people feeling close to them.

Marie Antoinette (2022– )
4/10
Dated acting and cinematic but strong script
3 December 2023
It has a strong main story line with sub stories telling the historical events. The complex relationships and struggles of the charachter made the movie that strong, because it is not shallow, each charachter is showing very depth. Pity on the directing asking for a dated acting style really a BBC kind. They have invest enough into decor and not left to be cheap. They do invest in much in keeping the serie fresh and intersting as it introduced many new charachters also cutting off some stories making it difficult to build a reliable core cast and where the movie wants to go. Do need to say it is clear who cannot left out making the audience easy to ignore or not putting too much energy into to know them. They do plan to have an sequal as they did not cramp it all into a mini serie.

Well done I need to say for bbc.

Cinematic well done, music overused, action missing flare of john wick
12 November 2023
Strong intro of episode 1 but after that it going down hill, the action, the story is too aligned with john wick they could have use the stage but not copy many elements of it making it almost copy and paste only exchanged the actors.

The music is ok but it is too easy.

Action are done good but way too easy predictable, no long action just like in john wick.

Missing real flare of john wick the classy, where people have manners but act in filthy.

The lines are ok but not in this environment it feels, not proper, especially with this decor.

Would like more background stories or spring out of the world. Because now it is half-half.

It feels now a revenge story and could easily be put in a movie and will able to make more money out of it instead of show.

4/10.

Corner Office (2022)
6/10
Hard to hold the mass attention. Dark, detective but more mindish game
27 September 2023
Love how the story is being told, chilled old, first person. Pitty they did not hide the plot better to release it in its whole as now they only hide it the first quarter of the movie but sips slowly but also obvious and moment even announced making those who love a detective movie penetrate the balloon.

Would love that they show a real concer office, but now it is maybe easier as it make it obvious it is likely, corner of a building will be missed.

The lack of action and too much side actions that have limited contribution to the plot makes it not pleasant and more like a grab of all kind of random things.

Clear american documentary like back in the days, details are done really great. All the juice is out of hte movie.
27 September 2023
Clearly expalined why bruce lee is that sucessful not only in his martial art but also in the movie making capturing the audience and striving for perfection with his innovativeness. The amount of underlying meaning and reasoning is that great.

It contains much of slow progress, you do not feel bored but the monotone makes it drouzy.

The amount of work and dedication Bruce Lee has put into it is just admirable.

Love how the moviemakers not only deconstructed the meaning about the movie but also focusing on the things what happening outside the movie making. The events, the reasoning why delays or days of filming and who the cast is formed. Makes it really enjoyable to watch.

Twisted Metal (2023– )
4/10
Bad in everything but it hold on the dialogues, directing and sound
31 July 2023
The special effect is bad low quality, the movie is more a B movie with a bit much budget and good concept.

Love directing really put everything into place and just the quality and the vibe of the movie. At first I hated it as the acting is bad and hte lines are overused but I startred enjoying it as things are not that predictable and the episodes sometimes does not contribute much to the story but as it is that unpredictable it feels like it justified and just go with the ride.

Do love how they planned out the whole, ending to make a sequal but luckily not forced. And I am ready to see season 2.

If you like a relax watch, no brainer and nostalig, like a ride in a childern ride in disney land but for adults.

The Flash (I) (2023)
3/10
Way too much special effect it feels like they could have made the movie in a green room
19 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The long start and uncertain intro what it brings. It was for me a confirmation that they are the justice league. This short scene cost them a lot. Also It is strange as it means he did not used full potential before for example saving the earth. Hate the humoristic moments as they are not funny and seems just filling the lengthy movie, feels like they have a requirement of minimum of 2H movie to be accomplished. Do love the nostalgia batman with the equipment as it is real stand still of the movie, but they should not have used a familiar face because that really fcked some audience mind as that is there batman and the new batman is just an imposter and when you take it back it feels like putting it right. Especially when they try to explain it all. The equipments of the batman is nicely done love the time standing still of it. Pity they did not make a fatter one. They do have made a point of where the line should be to not wandering too far. Now the story is compact enough to understand.

There is too much things that they could have done better and less drag in small moments. Instead of pure focus on making the movie great and keeping the pace up.

The Valet (2022)
5/10
Classic storyline, love and comedy with good actors
22 November 2022
Love the intro and the acting. Short amount of time alot of information. Love the camerawork. Nice funny moments. The contrast between culture is done good. Like the amount of work they have put to introduce the Mexican culture into this movie, even though it is done so much time and as always hard selling it, what makes it bad, unnaturally but this one they did a good job, not too much. The camera work is basic but the scenes are good enough makes it lovely. The acting is good in combination with the humoral sides. Good background music. The storyline is classic but the details and additional elements have made this an above average version. 5/10.

nice innovative details but overall story is just chewinggum
5 October 2022
Hmmm they use alot of voice over, pitty because it sounds very imodified. The acting is alright could have done better as these actors have trackrecord that done amazing job. They try to look like they have done alot of effort and difference in taking on the prep. Kinda silly the hostiled guy does not scream. Crazy how easy they got down even though they are pros. Crazy how easy he is as a target but still not able to get hit. Lines are bad, actions are good, like the unexpected moments. Pity the story is just so old school nothing new and also nothing revolutionair only some details but not much that you can say wow. 2/10 What you can see is they have put alot of money into it.

It is not about maffia it is about culture during that time and influence of a community and turning it around
4 October 2022
Love the subtle maffia activities, the elements are done nicely. There are so many culture elements during the time what is a done very good, especially the acting. High level of acting but pity they put into a stereotype light. Love the small details and the links connection cultures and events during that time. Scenes have multiple layer meanings and contains leads. The camera works the decors beautiful done. As an audience we got to see the contradiction and development of the main player but also what comes around comes around. Plant a seed and let it grow in the corner and once a while looks at it. Lines are done very nicely, in the time. The most interesting character development will be the kid, great done. See how the seed blossom and even lead to evolution in odd way. Love the director scene. Another terrific scene is the talk in the prison around the end when everything comes together. Love the twist and turns and unobvious outcomes. Almost forget sound choice is nice. 7/10.

The Prototype (2022)
1/10
90s movie making with a B-C level of movie quality with good potential in story
28 June 2022
Special effects are used much, what is pity because they could have done better. Acting is low quality but are Ok as the script is very basic. Very slow dragged much. Quality of lighting is low. Movie making gives me feeling of 90's. Clearly a B movie maybe even a C, in action, special effect, and script.

There are high amount of potential to the story, but execution is just bad.

Classic jackass but do not need to make a movie out of it, it is not worthy
28 June 2022
Pity would expect more and more a story line but this jack ass is just like the other jack ass what they have done before the years. It feels always like a mixture of captures during making. More like a documentary vibe than real movie. What is what they have done for year. There is no structure to it, funny and nice but not great. Pity they should have done more.

scenes are done really good but the story is really slow and hard to understand what they are really going
27 June 2022
Love the 80's style of movie in a new jacket, but making it nothing short as it maybe has the old camera style of sceneiers even the actors behave. The amount of actors playing is alot even though not all actors are high quality but they do lean towards a natural playing instead of reading the script. Many blank sceniers that feel empty but they hold a very delicated information, what is not much but do help the story building.

The acting is done nicely, the main player is good, the rest could step a bit more up.

They drag a lot in the movie and hard to follow where they want to go with the movie. Even though we know a bit how it will go as audience, but so many options.

The scenes are not low budget made including the clothing and everything around it pulls you really back to the 80's of Argentina. Perfect done. I do need to say they limited the amount of variables like people and decoration, to not misstep because during the pool party I have the feeling they kinda fell in the water. Feeling C level quality.

The camera work is basic also the transaction of scenes, this seems more like the 90's where they highlight so much as if the audience is stupid and every scene feels like cut out and modified and placed back into the movie again.

The classic scary movie elements but with a good budget
2 May 2022
Very classic move but do like the element of the band moving into movie making, showing some interesting and innovative points. Do not know if they are also in real life like that, but it will be lovely.

Very classic horror approach 90's-00's I will say. Clearly, the band wants to make this movie and they had their image of the movie, which is lovely I can say, because this mix matches of elements and good budget movie makes a B movie to a A rate movie and with celebrities' players. Old school scary movie kinda Like the special effect done well. The good thing is the ending they did not do a sloppy one but still need to tune but it is nice, fully packed and highlights.

2.5/10.

Black Crab (2022)
4/10
starting strong but end is just failing such a dissapointment
2 May 2022
Like the camera work is it easy modern but works well. How can she survive but the other person died so fast. The actions are done nicely some old but in an new jacket feeling fresh and other are totally fresh or what you can say hardly in combined. The playing with the light and dark is nicely done. Sceneries are done well simple but good. Like the number of elements they put in that are classic in the battlefield but hardly captured in the movie. Camera use is maybe classic, but some moments are done innovatively. Ugh her acting is too predictable if you have seen couple of her movies, you know her behaviour what is pity because she is different compared to the traditional Hollywood actors. Lines and some actions are too easy and classic.

Ugh love the story line so strong but the end is just bad .... feels like James bond nowadays. Could be so much more. A sequel and now it is nothing, mindless ending.... without real depth lifting the quality of preserving the previous effort what they have a hand in... 4/10 could easy be higher...

The 60-70's movie making but lost it
2 May 2022
Hmmm very strange vibe do not know what kind of movie they want to created.

The music, action, and camera seem like a very 60-70's movie.

Pity they did not proceed with the vibe. Halfway through the movie, it went back to the current timeline vibe. Also the story changed in content even though the storyline is logic. Do like the most unlikely scenario have set up and some interesting dialogues and situations has been formed.

Ugh do not know how to frais it is a blossom of character opening up. The relationship, the bonding and the human emotion. It starts from a humorous movie to a halfway the movie a serious deep one.

Interesting ending, I think it is because she is getting so much confronted with different emotional epileptic moments she just took the opportunity to put everything to justic to break even all making up all things she have lingering in your heart and mind for long time.

Very hot topic, it has a packaging of horror but in the end it is a drama
19 April 2022
Love the intro (10-15%), slow modern clean but low quality acting.

The dynamic and contradicting relations are done good but too obviously make it bit childish not sophisticated enough.

Like the party red strobe scene nicely done.

Interesting scenes... Like how the director pick actors that had a humor sticking image and turning them into real actors without the humor character coming out.

Ok camera work The speed of the scenes are done greatly The mind game is done nicely the plots, the twists.

Deep story but there is so much unclearness to be resolved.... Felt in the end it is being rushed compare to the beginning (first half)

Technical is bad but the story is OK, Gibson lines are still innovative but rest stuck in the 2000's
19 April 2022
Bad pre movie intro. Ugh acting is bad even for him. Camera work is old as the music.

Like the lines but it is just bad and classic and in combination with all is not great.

Actions are old. Very classical moves and story telling. It feels like a 2000's Pity really want to love the movie but it is bad....there are elements that are good, like the sceneries.

Story line is good and like the linking of history.

Much dragg hard to follow because the amount side stories and limited background information
19 April 2022
The acting is alright but pitty some actors are getting too much influenced by the standard body acting. Pitty the directing is done badly could have pulled off much more.

The vibe is just not created greatly making it clearly a C movie.

Cannot put my finger behind it what the reason is for the low quality. Maybe the lines maybe the acting with sound.

Very traditional made movie, lines are old. Ugh the action are bad Acting is Oke yes but the camera work does fuck it up.

High amount of dragg.

Technically not great but mental creeping inside the audience mind is a well made element what I not have experience much before
19 April 2022
Love the flow, the sub elements are nicely done.

The lines are bit let down. Do like ben's acting the experience really shows. But I need to say he overreacting a bit on some moments. Maybe the directors asked for it.

The energy is nicely done script is good done. It flows in the air but does not shows.

It is hard to understand what the thought is of the director in some situation. What is not really important but nice to know because they some scenes it feels like more but missing much information to link it to some. It is great to see how information get slowly integrated into the movies. Also the character build up is good what are slowly revealing. Also a great thing is the relationships what are well done. Pity they used classical camera use and music.

Great how the story evolve as new situation and insights came in.

Really well made with the metal fckness of the movie. Only the friends of Ben breaks it a bit (leaning towards comedy). This movie really get me hold on tight even if it got slow. It got my stomach turning, what you have in betraying in a relationship. Got really sucked in the situation.

Love the dynamic it put in pity only the acting level is not high and also made things to obviousit feels... Still feels so pity the camera usage is very classic more innovative could be nice.

The mind tricks are done really nicely but it is strange that you do not know the reason behind all the action. It does not stop and does not got solved in the end what is painful... even though it feels like you do but it is hard guess with much hints.

Pity the ending lead a bit longer with another scene because the closure is already great and twist. There is so much question marks that are not solved that painfully post movie still irritation.

The music is OK but not explicit great.

Love the mind games and how both people hold their ground and character. Taking their game even deeper and darker. It is crazy how easily it got uncovered even though the character seems very intelligent and have good strategic knowledge.

Feels like I am watching a 200's movie, high in details but bad in story. Good character developing loop.
10 April 2022
OK special effect, what is because of the timeline. Even though they could have done better work instead of relying too much on it. It is not that painful to see, but does lean on the edge of it.

Music is OK but just a bit low quality due to low innovativeness, this is also lines and script Ugg, the script is almost 90-2000's too old school.

Love the small humor elements, but sometimes it take it too much, matching the character what is pity because he is the only one that doing the jokes instead the whole movie does it.

Action are dump really the same age as the script, even some acting Do like the amount of details and make it logic again The amount of details is done above average A nice element that they have put in is the involvement of the past and future him and his character. Well-made.

The men chemistry is really nice, love it.

The metal parts are limited, should be more also the door should be the strongest part of the building, but it breaks the easiest.

Good plot, easy but good because of some innovativeness.

Strange enough, the ending of the machine is much easier than expected.... thought the second scenario will kick in.

Ugh love the ball play great work but hate the meeting with his lover moment because it should be different... especially with the dramatic saying goodbye scene.

Love the story but disappointment on execution. Points for the effort and potential
9 April 2022
Acting is not that great. But some does, it is not painful but could have done much more.

The sound is sometimes done nicely, but also wrongly done.

Pity, they pushed so much information in an unnaturally way that it is pity to see. The script is OK but due to acting it is just lowering the quality of the movie.

The camera work is just B rate and the sound also.

The intro is so much rushed, putting so much information in short time.

It is funny how rapid it goes but also how much potential it has in story.

Like the overall story but the sub elements are pity.

The ending is nice but also predictable and a bit disappointment in the result. The nice thing is how it got round up without being forced.

They try so hard to keep up the sequel quality but it lost it magic. Points for keeping relevant topics
9 April 2022
Hate the special effect, if they have done with real props will be funnier.

Love the rhythm of the actor speaks that makes it that good and humor great and acceptable Hmmm the mixture of character does not make the movie great because they stand out straightaway, not always great.

There is no moral to the movie only humor that they want to give even that does not make it 100% and focusless A good thing is they touch on many social topics that are especially still sensitive in their community and this movie can be a way to soften or get people thinking about it.

Jokes are very lame and short also hard to follow makes it not great.
