GATTACA (1997)
Good 90's sci-fi flick
Gattaca is the sort of movie that you either love it or you hate it. A lot of people don't like to watch Ethan Hawke's acting so that may turn some people off of this one.
However, I think he is a fine actor and he does a great job in this film about
the future which answers certain questions about who we are as humans. It also features a fine performance from wife Uma Thurman.
Maybe I am a little biased as I first saw this film growing up in my younger years so I loved it back then as I love it now. But I think there is plenty here to enjoy. Even now more than twenty years after the making of it this is still hailed as a masterpiece. Bravo.
Fateful Findings (2013)
So bad it was good!
Whoever made this sorry excuse for a film must have been completely incompetent. It's Neil Breen, who is also the star of the film. I have heard that he is a realtor or something in real life. I think he might have mental problems too. It seems like he has never seen a movie before.
It is so completely ridiculous with the bad acting and terrible dialogue that it is actually pretty funny. It's wildly entertaining. Think of it like the movie The Room, only worse in my opinion, and therefore better.
I especially liked the part where he rubs the blood on his face for no reason. The guy just can't act and neither can his friends. Their facial hair and body types and just all around bad acting makes me think that they are adult film stars most of the time.
He can't figure out when to pick up his cup or get anything right. Did they only do one take of everything? The camerawork sucks and don't even get me started on the terrible greenscreen backgrounds. What a joke.
Even though it's nonstop laughs I still could not bring myself to give it more that five starts, due to how bad the acting and the story and everything else was in it.
The Hitman's Bodyguard (2017)
Thrives on mediocrity
Another reviewer commented that this film was exactly what they expected. I can agree with that statement. Unfortunately what I expected was to be bored with unoriginality.
I did not exactly watch this film by choice. I did not pick it out or anything like that. If I had been picking the film I surely would have picked something else. Of course, I have never been a fan of Ryan Reynolds. And here he played his usual obnoxious self.
The movie was entertaining enough in that "seen it all before" sort of way, but I hope I never have to sit through it again, or any other Ryan Reynolds movie for that matter.
12 Monkeys (1995)
Good sci-fi flick
Let me start by saying that I am not a huge Terry Gilliam fan. Honestly most of his films I could do without. But I sort of saw this one by accident and I must say I am glad I did.
Twelve Monkeys wasn't so much good on account of the story. I suppose it was unique enough and original enough to keep me entertained. In many ways it was similar to other science fiction films of past and present but there were some aspects of the story that I had not seen before, which was nice. But the best thing about the film was Bruce Willis.
Let me clarify. I am not a huge Bruce Willis fan by any means. I like him in some things and dislike him in others. But the thing that made this role so good for him was that it allowed him to branch out. People, this is Bruce Willis like you have never seen him before. He is believable in the role and he makes the film worth watching. It is a completely different character for him and I think you will like it a lot.
