Her (2013)
Sci-fi, drama and romance?
This movie got me to think.
Not a lot of movies get me to think about myself and the future, but thins one did. The story happens in the future where technology is amazing. 3D hologram games and movies, bots that you can chat with, phones that read your email out-loud for you, and yeah pretty much everything you'd imagine a bot could do.
There are minor plot holes like, this guys job the bot probably would be able to know a person well enough to write a personal love letter, nothing to go crazy over. Otherwise i didn't notice anything major.
I wouldn't say that there was any stand out acting, well except if you count Scarlett. Scarlett did a awesome job acting using only her voice and i understood every emotion she was feeling( as a bot if that makes any sense ). Well i kind liked the girl he went on a date with, she was just WOW.
I'm not recommending this movie to anyone, cause personally i do not like romance nor drama.
American Psycho (2000)
A fun mood
Everybody's a little Psycho.
It's great movie and it couldn't have been better than it is. Christian Bale portrayed Bateman beautifully. The film told more then it actually showed, it kinda implied most of what you see. And you can easily see how brutal Bateman is, without the director showing the murders. The cast is great and Christan is the only stand-out in my opinion.
I was not sure if I should give it a 8, but it's not good enough, then 7, It's not that bad. I decided to go with 7 cause I could not see it be with those masterpieces that i give 8,9 or 10.
We get to know Patric really well in the beginning of the film(like we got to know Jordan Belfort in the beginning of The Wold Of Wall Street), he's a man who takes care of him self dose not care about other, his needs are always a priority. I want to see other film do that instead of doing unnecessary scenes just to learn a character likes this kind of flower.
Overall it's a good movie there's nothing really special but there were memorable moments in it that all movie buffs should know. It's not a have to see, but i recommend this film to anyone who likes (moderate) bloody films.
Drillbit Taylor (2008)
Your typical comedy movie
This is an a actual family movie.
I decided to watch it, why, well i was bored. It's predictable, cause it's an a comedy. And like all comedy movies starring Owen Willson why not throw a little romance in there too. Tho predictable it's funny, but not different funny. It has a jokes for adults and teens, and of course some violence for the younger one.
But why should you watch it? you shouldn't. I'm just saying tho I liked it you might not, you will if you like comedies. Like all comedies you could see how the movie would end from the beginning. It had some cheap jokes that got me to laugh.
Why am I rating this so low? It's simple it's an a comedy. It does not have a plot(i guess). There was nothing special about it or memorable and it didn't leave anything behind (I guess they are the same thing). It's just another comedy film starring Owen Willson
Why am I rating this so high. This is how i rate movies, every movie that I rate begins at 5 and either it descends or the opposite. And this movie it was decent. It was not bad nor was it good.
I'm not going to recommend you too see it... unless you like comedies of course
Cast Away (2000)
Wouldn't watch it again
Tom Hanks has to be one of the best actors out there.
I watched this movie because they made fun on it on Family Guy and I wanted to understand the joke. I felt like this movie relied on the beginning which was not to good... at all. The movie skipped time which left a gap in the plot and the realism of it. There was no standout acting performance. Well except Tom Hanks. I don't feel like this movie is what everybody is trying to make it, it is what it is.
I felt no realism in it (i can't do an a example without spoiling anything). This movie was almost just like All is lost except this is actually decent.
I'm going to recommend you too see this movie, cause it's an a have to watch film, it may not be good but it's an a have to watch
The Blair Witch Project (1999)
Different and so typical at the same time
first "horror" movie i've seen with out any unneeded music.
The Blair witch project, it suspects me to be scared without even trying, it's not that easy. You really have to be awake the first 15 minutes of the film or you won't realize what your'e supposed to be scared off.
The film tries to invent a revolutionary kind of method, which is to not have any music to try and scare the audience. Is that method good? Personally I don not like that. It collapses on it self trying to be a horror genre. There's nothing horrifying about it.
Let's say that The Blair Witch Project is real and you find the video cameras, you must then wonder why they didn't stop recording while they were fighting. It's just not realistic
The Captive (2014)
Unexpected
To be honest in my opinion Peyton Kennedy is just a great actress, and she was a standout.
Is this your basic kidnapping movie ? Kinda but this movie is actually decent. Why? I can't say i normally don't like those kidnapping movies cause they are easily predictable, and so was this film. There were few unneeded scenes but i'm not going to spoil anything.
The cast. I guess it's okay, i mean this movie was not going to get better and i'm not saying that in a good way. I would have wanted to see a little more emotion from the parents. Otherwise everything was decent
The script. It's like i said before your normal kidnapping movie, but this one is a little better i guess, why? it's the mood that it gives you, the time traveling back and fourth , it's little confusing tho.
The location/s. It's Canada it's snowy,and the film didn't take advantage of that. There were no outstanding shots what so ever.
Looper (2012)
Not for logical folks
Self-sacrifice is not worth it.
When i review a movie I think of it as it could actually happen( By the logic of the universe that the movie is happening in) and time travel, no thank you, by no means could actually be real. There was nothing special about it, no outstanding performance or nothing.
The casting. This movie had Bruce Willis and Joseph what ever his name is. But they didn't even do that well, I expected more from them.
The locations/shots. There was no shots really outstanding or wallpaper worthy. I didn't even notice the locations, i guess the big field was the best (background?) location.
The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)
Not that good
"I can't wait to see this movie i mean over 5 Oscar awards it's gotta be good " I thought to myself.
Peopole saying this movie does not need a plot is just slap in the face sad. There was nothing special about the movie. I felt like all the character were same. The shots got annoying after a while.
The acting. It isn't bad but it could be better. Especially the lobby boy, no really good facial expression from him. But enough about him, let's tear the rest of the film apart. The acting was a moon distance to witty and... yeah
The script. It was full of one liners bull***, don't get me wrong i like a good one liner just as much as the next guy, but to many in a row and you get sick of'em. Obviusly there was no "real" plot tho there were a lot of sub-plots
The set/locations. I'm going to admit it was really beautiful, and the hotel it self locked amazing. And the uniforms WOWWW they locked really good one of the best part of the film.
It's a movie to watch, only to say that you have watch'd said movie.
Annabelle (2014)
Another demon horror movie
I don't like horror movies... at all, they are to predictable unfortunately this movie was no exception.
The only reason i watched this film was because my uncle forced me too. If i'm going to be honest it surprised, it was okay.
Tho this movie was predictable the cast was good, thats not the case with the script. The husband of the girl was to flexible, it that's the right word.
For a horror movie this one had minimum jump scares. It was more of a thriller than a horror movie, and not a good thriller just to be clear.
The characters didn't have enough build up, so I didn't get any connections to the them. And i couldn't care less if anyone of them died.
Summary: it's just your typical spirit horror garbage
I wouldn't recommend anyone to watch this movie, cause there are better movies out there
This Is the End (2013)
Best comedy movie of 2013
The cast of the movie is epic and they know each other, which can be a vital part in the production.
The plot is simple the world is ending and two best friends are stuck at Francos house.
The acting is good, but a little relaxed and calm. The film has it low and high points, but is usually very exiting. Every actor plays as themselves, and i think thats just awesome, it brings the character more together.
The writing is just casual but no comedy movie is a 10 out of 10.
Sound effects are both really good or just awful. I feel like Emma W didn't do her part good enough, and she was just having fun. of course i believe the cast itself planned all long to have make it kinda joke.
Intouchables (2011)
most Overrated of all time ?
Everybody said that this movie was awesome, so I gave it a shot.
Iusually don't like France movies so I didn't expect a good movie, and I didn't get a good movie. The scenes escalated way to quickly. Why would the handicapped man want him to take care of him. The acting is either overacted or there is no act in the scenes. In short the acting is bad.
The writing It's just off, awful, Scenes either contain Way to much information or no information at all, and that confused me a lot. It didn't feel realistic, I'm pretty sure no one would react like that in real life situation. My recommendation is not to watch this movie.
