Age of Ultra VFX

Posted : 1 year, 10 months ago on 27 June 2022 01:23 (A review of Avengers: Age of Ultron)



I grew tired of the X-Men franchise last year and this may be the year I grow tired of the Marvel/Avengers movies. Nothing really impressed me in this bloated action movie that seemed to forget what made the first one successful, very similar to how I view Iron Man 1 and 2.


Even with this I can't deny the skills that went into making the production, plus it's become impossible to dislike anything with Downey.

Not So Cheerful Family for the Wedding

Posted : 2 years, 1 month ago on 20 March 2022 03:19 (A review of Cheerful Weather for the Wedding)



Felicity Jones has never been prettier and her beauty is set up among beautiful pastels and art direction. Unfortunately, while the dialogue is interesting, the story is somewhat aimless and becomes long near the end.

I think the characters and setting are interesting enough to make it a series instead of a stand-alone movie, as I thought there didn't seem to be an end or needn't be an end.

Tickled and Disturbed

Posted : 2 years, 1 month ago on 18 March 2022 11:17 (A review of Tickled)




Director: David Farrier & Dylan Reeve
Their 1st movie
My 1st movie watched from the directors


This movie started off solid as an investigatory documentary, but then as it continued it became more disturbing than interesting.

Wendy in the Water

Posted : 2 years, 4 months ago on 6 December 2021 11:35 (A review of Wendy)




Director: Benh Zeitlin
His 2nd movie
My 2nd movie watched from the director


Though he sticks with his brand Zeitlin's follow-up to "Beasts of a Southern Wild" isn't as creatively and emotionally successful. It relies so much on the acting of the kids which lends to some awkward moments and, at times, it feels like this is made by and for kids. I love the idea and the effort, the gamble just doesn't pay off.

Young & Beautiful & Worth Watching

Posted : 2 years, 9 months ago on 9 July 2021 04:43 (A review of Young & Beautiful)



Marine Vacth is, in fact, young and beautiful. She gives us a lot with minimal dialogue. Sadly the structure of the film is plain and I didn't really get anything new out of it, even if I consider myself entertained in the end.

Lola Versus This Dull Movie

Posted : 2 years, 9 months ago on 9 July 2021 03:54 (A review of Lola Versus)




Director: Daryl Wein
His 3rd Movie.
My 1st movie watched from the director.


As likable as Gerwig is she couldn't save this dull movie made by what has to be an amateur director. There is little interest in the writing, too.

First movie of the year I haven't liked.

Found it Didn't Keep Me Fully Attached

Posted : 3 years, 3 months ago on 7 January 2021 09:42 (A review of Finders Keepers)



A cast of ridiculous characters helps steer this into entertaining territory. It's a story that doesn't need much help in being entertaining. Unfortunately it seems to have been made by people who copied other documentary formulas and didn't seem to have an actual grasp on what this film really needed to succeed.

The Lily James is Perpetually Appealing Society

Posted : 4 years, 1 month ago on 14 March 2020 07:44 (A review of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society)



Lily James continues to impress me and shines with likability. The story itself is fine and the production as a whole is fine enough. The picture's title ย ends up being a little more memorable than the movie itself.


Rated 6.6/10

Arthur is Still a Rich Alcoholic

Posted : 5 years ago on 10 April 2019 02:33 (A review of Arthur)

First, not as good as the original.ย  ย Not surprising or expected.ย  Second, I can't help but enjoy Russel Brand's brand of humor, as I know it's not for everybody. And who doesn't like Helen Mirren? With these in the lead roles it's impossible to have a bad time. However, the editing is atrocious and the structure gives us no surprises.

Still, if you're looking for a fun, light-hearted comedy, you're likely to enjoy this movie.

Den of Alphas

Posted : 5 years, 1 month ago on 4 March 2019 07:03 (A review of Den of Thieves)





Rated 6.1/10




A heist movie that wanted to be macho and clever but only did it in a mediocre way. The film felt a little dated, but still proved to not be a waste of time.
