Sorcerer
Friedkin's big budget thriller.
4 people have to drive 2 trucks carrying very dangerous explosives through the jungle terrain
Its Unique, it aims high. Half of the movieยดs running time is spent building characters and it usually follows the same structure: establish location...establish character... and repeat.
it works for me...these are not the kind of people you could get behind or relate too ,from the get go.
Either way i would say its worth to stick through the first half, from that point on, its just a perfect movie. Some scenes just do not age, there is no amount of CGI that could replicate them
9/10
Cannonball run
I just had to watch it.
For starters i made it through that awful "remake" with Mr bean
I expect Burt Reynolds to slap someone across the face
The director, made RAD
Im also a big fan of movies like Its a MadMad...world
So...whas it worth it? Not really but some jokes land, some moments are so weird they became funny, plus young Jackie chan appears from time to time.
5.5/10
Stranger Things
Great television. It homages Stephen King and TV series like Twin Picks better than Super 8 ever did to Spielberg, and i like Super 8.
Its a bit overrated right now. In fact, its mostly great has a mystery series but whenever it needs drama, is solely dependant of Winona Ryder's performance.
when it comes to the big reveals, it usually does them in the lamest way possible, and that includes the monster.
7.5/10
Frost/Nixon
Its bland. It could have been cut to 90 min and you wouldn't miss a thing. It should have used that time to explore the other characters, mainly Frost
Nixon is the only well developed character in this movie. Frank Langella does a great job, though not surprisingly. If theres anything consistenly good about Ron Howard movies, is that they all have a good cast.
5.5/10

Juggernaut (1974) - Very good classic British movie. The first half could have been better and a few scenes could have been cut out but in general it was a very good experience. 8/10
Bolt (2008) - Amazing animated movie, very cute and original. 9/10
The Hangover (2009) - Very good and crazy comedy with great cast. 8/10
The Hangover Part II (2011) - As good as the first one even though the concept is basically the same. 8/10
The Hangover Part III (2013) - Probably the most crazy of all three, I don't understand the negative reviews at all. Yeah, the premise doesn't even make sense (this time they got in trouble not because of alcohol) but who cares, it was a fun and wild ride. 8/10
Puss In Boots (2011) - Amazing animated movie about the cat from Shrek. Very fun and cute. 9/10

Europa Report
Low-budget sci-fi with a number of "hey, it's that guy/girl" actors, about the first manned expedition to Jupiter's frozen moon Europa and the things that don't go as planned. Mostly presented as a "found footage" film., although one that is actually justified by it's plot.
It was ok for what it was.

It didn't look low budget at all imo and it was amazing. Pure s-f, loved it.

Believe it or not, it was made for less than $10million. Simple but effective practical effects, a limited cast and limited sets do miracles to keep costs down, and the movie certainly used all of those. Helps that the plot is set up in a way that makes it all come together in a natural way for sure, and the interior set of the spaceship is very convincing.
In that way it does show that low budget doesn't have to be a bad thing.

Last weekend I saw Jason Bourne and Suicide Squad -- which is the first time I've seen two movies in a weekend in probably 10 years.
Both were pretty bad.
Suicide Squad was at least somewhat entertaining in a "what the hell are they doing" sort of way. Also, the music was fantastic. The plot is one of the dumbest I've ever seen, and much of the acting is cringe-inducing. But it was at least sort of interesting.
Jason Bourne was incredibly disappointing, because I've been a fan of the book series first, and then each of the movies as well. This one, though...I feel bad for Matt Damon and Alicia Vikander. They are both awesome, but the plot is ridiculous, the acting by everyone else is bad, there's no real tension, no real drama...even the trademark Jason Bourne car chase is not very good! Very disappointed.

The Little Bear Movie.
Recently went through a bunch of VHS tapes for a garage sale and came across it. One of my favourite shows as a kid, wanted some happy nostalgia. :P

Brazil (1985)
I've never seen this movie before, I guess it wasn't very popular in America. With that being said, I really liked it. It's one of those movies that made me think about life after finishing it. I highly recommend it.
My score: 27b/6 movie reference just so you know

Manhunter
A wonder in cinematography, not so much in storytelling.
Dialogue is abundant, characters narrate everything and rather than showing, it over explains things in detail
Good soundtrack that goes for longer than necessary but, at least works to set a scene and it isn't painfully obvious with its lyrics, so it could be worse...
The Silence of the Lambs>Manhunter>Red Dragon
7/10
The Butcher Boy
Neil Jordan's darkest film
In this situation, i thought it was a clever choice, to give you very little breathing space
Its Pure insanity, has you follow this kid through his life, as he rapidly turns into a psychopath.
the Satire and surreal moments, give it a more humorous side, so it never turns into something too mean spirited to be watched
Not a good Neal Jordan Starter movie, undoubtedly, it is good. But a "love it or Hate it" situation.
8/10

Paprika (2006) - Decent for what it was but generally overrated anime. I expected something better. 6/10
Flubber (1997) - Not funny at all, boring and uninteresting. Wasn't horrible but far from good. 4/10
The Avengers (2012) - Great movie, what more is there to say? Only for people who enjoy such flicks though. 9/10
Avengers: Age Of Ultron (2015) - Even better than the original. Tons of spectacular action is probably the movie's strongest point. 10/10
Batman: The Killing Joke (2016) - Saw it in the cinema and I thought it was very good, like all other animated Batman movies I've seen. 8/10
Cut Bank (2014) - Good crime/drama movie with good cast. 7/10
Comment has been collapsed.
Body Double (1984) - Amazing thriller directed by Brian DePalma with many adult themes and interesting plot. 9/10
Lady In The Water (2006) - Drama mixed with fantasy directed by M. Night Shyamalan. One of the worst movies I've ever seen. So stupid it hurts. Annoying too. 1/10
The Last Airbender (2010) - Bad movie. Very generic, bland, predictable and so damn boring. Acting was horrible too. Visuals were nice though. 3/10
Get Hard (2015) - Very funny comedy starring Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell. I just love comedies with Kevin. 8/10
Deadpool (2016) - One of the best superhero movies ever. Great humor, lots of action, great editing - everything was amazing. I regret not watching it in the cinema. 10/10
Gone Baby Gone (2007) - Amazing crime/drama directed by Ben Affleck. Great cast, very good plot with lots of twists, good photographs and so on. In general one of the best crime movies I've seen during last few years. 10/10

Macbeth (2015) - 1/10 - Complete borefest :/
The Huntsman: Winter's War (2016) - 5/10 - Enjoyed it more than the previous movie, but there a few moments will leave you scratching your head..
The Witch (2015) - 7/10 - Slow pace, but builds over time. Not for the faint of heart.

Macbeth.
I didn't have subtitles, so i had to stop watching.
Some directors should consider talking to people, it would help them realize want raw dialogue sounds like.
People do not mumble.
The movie looked gorgeus though

Here we go, I'll start.
Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark (2010) - This movie is a joke. At first it's interesting, then it's boring and then it's just funny/pathetic. And they put it in a "horror" genre. Words are not sufficient. Nosferatu is turning in his grave. 3/10
