The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (2024)
Enjoyable but...
When you have a great cast and a good story with interesting action sequences then you get a winner but what I did not like was the long talks that keeps you waiting for some action to come.
The first action scene was really good and it opens your appetite for more especially when you have A list in the movie well at least some of them but still lots of minutes gone with just blablabla.
I was surprised to know that this movie is based on true event that happened which is really fine but still it could have carried more action and more interesting scenes.
Good one to watch especially those who like to see Henry without his cape.
Mother of the Bride (2024)
Enjoyable
We are the generation who were born in an era of blue lagoon so for us Brooke was a goddess and we keep checking on her from time to time like that Christmas movie she did last year and I'm sure many are proud of being of this generation.
You keep watching the movie although being predictable and I think deep inside people just remember the good movies era along side remembering Brooke.
The movie got some laughs and goofy situations and you can easily say it is a cute movie to watch with your girlfriend and popcorn and then forget it and just remember that poster on Brooke in your room long long time ago.
Abigail (2024)
Interesting but don't make part 2
I like it...as a vampire new genre movie and you really enjoy watching it due to the continuous actions despite predictable but still worth spending time on it.
For such a movie you don't expect much except good plot and acting and some visual effects so in other words it does what it was supposed to be.
What captured my attention is Abigail's cool acting as a normal girl and as a vampire. She played well and her smiles reminded me of the movie Smile where all smiles were scary.
But please don't make part 2 cause this one was good and it did it's job of making us enjoy a vampire movie done well so don't ruin it with another installment.
Unfrosted (2024)
Who could ask for more
To be honest I was waiting for this movie for some time as it felt like the good old comedy movie with great lines and cast and it didn't disappoint at all.
Really who could ask for more the great Jerry with a host of funny cast members and funny jokes and when you have all this you don't care about the story. The movie was there to make laugh and enjoy some good funny acting with great names in the comedy circle.
I believe that this movie is worth spending time on and enjoy it get some friends and watch it and remember the good comedy movies in the old days like Seinfeld for example.
Worth watching.
Gojira -1.0 (2023)
The Godzilla we are waiting for
Of all the Godzilla movies we have been exposed to I think this one shows what the movie should be based on. Godzilla minus one is a true serious fictional movie that lets you enjoy some good substance built on a good story and excellent characters.
If we go back to "other Godzillas" we see despite the good CGIs the stories are a bit different, cartoonish, unbelievable in a world of fiction even but this one is different you know there is no harm of finding a fictional movie that is a bit believable.
Enough of bringing two monsters fight each other and then create another monster so they join forces and play as a team what are we? Are we that stupid?
Godzilla minus one is a great one and should be given plus one.
Love Lies Bleeding (2024)
What was that!
I don't know if this was meant to be a new she-hulk new entry or a funny movie with a little bit of darkness? They should have let it be a crime movie with a bit of love story but why they had to ruin it like that.
Fine I get it love kills and jealousy even does more harm but I think this is too much there was no clear picture of where things are going maybe it was intentional but still becoming like a she- hulk to save her love from her dad who tried to kill his daughter ...I don't know too many things crossing each other making a person thinks twice and even gives this review.
I usually try to bring the best in any movie but too bad I could not here.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)
Enough is enough. We need a dark one
Ghostbusters is one of my favorite franchises and it was great to see most of the original characters in this latest make but cmon don't you think that it is enough now. Almost the same story with the same result.
For me at least I think that either stop bringing in or make one that is really dark and serious that will make us glued to the screen and not say hey I saw this in earlier edition or so.
Yes bringing the old cast back is good and brings many memories but even their acting was not good probably because they felt secure enough in my opinion.
Yes CGI is good but so what now almost all movies use good CGI.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024)
Why do it?
Really who go through this and change things that should not? I was excited to see it due to the action scenes but then things started to get cartoonishly weak ( dentist at the scene to change a bad tooth. Etc) even the slavery scene of the other kongs and their leader cmon what is that?
The human aspect was too low and time element as we know in movies doesn't exist but even though this is too much in such a movie but really why change a good franchise and turn it into something you only see in cartoons.
Please give a good Godzilla and King Kong movie where each fight monsters real monsters.
Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver (2024)
Should have been better!
The one hour build up to the juicy amazing action scenes was unnecessary. I believe that we were all waiting for part 2 to happen and when it did we were surprised by the almost one hour of unnecessary talk which led afterwards to one of the best action scenes in my opinion.
Zack's style is well known and seeing the new weapons, amazing fight scenes and sceneries were really good but it could have been better much better because we loved the first part.
A movie is considered good when little details can be noticed and this movie got so many impressive details which need to be spotted and this is what makes Zack different.
If you saw the first part you need to part 2.
Irish Wish (2024)
A romantic fantasy if I dare say
Honestly after watching Lohan in 'Falling for Christmas' I was so happy to see her making a comeback in the genre she is famous for. Irish wish is for those who wish love would be that easy to conquer or at least be in it and the setting of the film is amazing with few laughs here and there.
It is this kind of movies that you might mention during an outing that you watched it and that is it despite the fact it goes under cute and romantic.
You would expect it be like that a smooth transition towards expected end with some charming background and clumsy good hearted characters.
Worth watching if you like such movies.
Das Signal (2024)
Lacking so much
There is a limit when you try to squeeze so much in just four episodes. It started well and had the potential to provide a new sci-fi idea but it lacked so much as sometimes they just went very slow and other times they just went very fast why would they do that... make it a six episodes why not?
Now to the plot holes and to the real and unreal, how did they attack the supposedly Alien ship that easy like really they just sent missiles from fighter jets to hit nothing! The explosion was huge! How the fighter jets pilots did not see that there was nothing to hit! And if we just pretend for a moment that the alien ship landed and had to deal with earthling primitive missiles...I think the aliens who traveled that far have the unbelievable technology to defend themselves.
Anyways I would say nice try from everyone even the father who was kept wondering all the four episodes and at the final 10 minutes he became rain man.
3 Body Problem (2024)
Season 2 is a must
Just finished watching it and since the first episode I had these positive vibes that we are going to have a good series which we might really "like" and it did capture our inner sci-fi senses.
The whole series with all the characters are really good even the last launching to meet the aliens mechanism can be logical in the sci-fi field and to be honest I did not find one episode that I did not like which is usually the case you have 8 episodes and you get one or even two that you say it was not related.
My probably the problem with it was the ending which definitely needs a season 2 and even 3 and honestly I can't wait to watch season 2 just to see how they would cross the 400 years mark and meet the aliens it is kind of complicated but worth it.
Go watch if you haven't already did.
Damsel (2024)
A
Who would forget The Princess Bride movie and those lovely characters including robin who played the princess and here she comes playing the evil queen to a beautiful girl who became the princess destined to die by a dragon. This might be a new twist in dragon movies which is well played where everyone gets what he really deserves.
It is a Netflix movie and if you remove all the violence you would say it is a Disney movie. The whole movie is good and worth spending time to enjoy good CGI and I recommend watching it.
Damsel is not for everyone but it could be and if you thinking of part 2 I have doubts.
Ricky Stanicky (2024)
Surprisingly funny
Are you ready for a funny feel good movie? Well this is it a really good and funny movie that delivers a sweet message in a comedic way. John Cena did well and his performance was fulfilling and very funny. The movie reminded me of the good old funny movies we used to watch and love. The characters played in this movie are absolutely gorgeous and the jokes were funny not forced funny but funny.
We need more of such movies and I don't know why but I remembered Horrible Bosses 1 not 2 you know the movie that tells a story in a funny way and you don't feel that you lost time watching it and this is what this do it makes you smile. Go watch it.
Argylle (2024)
Surprisingly entertaining
Yes. It is the kind of movies that make you enjoy just sit relax and enjoy and I did like it despite Henry's small part but still it is very entertaining and the cast are really a great one.
But what I really enjoyed is seeing this link with the kingsman franchise and the director made us think and think will there be a movie about that as the style of Argylle resembles the kingsman in many ways even the fight scenes which are a bit cartoonish.
My only problem is with the short appearance of Henry I think he deserves more in such an enjoyable long movie but was worth it and I hope the director will do it again.
Spaceman (2024)
Makes you think!
Adam Sandler in a very serious and deep performance is something we are not used to see and this one is kind of a little weird to watch. The movie is good and I admit it despite some reviews. It is a movie that you need to prepare to watch it and not just like sit and enjoy as this movie opens many doors and takes you in weird path and makes you think a lot about humans more than aliens if we do accept that there are aliens looking like spiders somewhere in other galaxies or was that just the impact of being alone in space for a long time?
The plot makes you wonder about certain issues with the story but at the end it makes you think or in a state of having these weird thoughts.
Good to watch in my opinion.
No Way Up (2024)
Watchable but...
I didn't expect much to be honest but I said why not the movie seemed entertaining despite the many questions you ask yourself like why they didn't do this and that and why the focus on this and not that and so on. I guess the movie was made to entertain rather than create a kind of cult.
A rescue mission that is not that serious, an annoying guy who should have been thrown to the sharks in the first 10 minutes, a grandma who got a better chance of surviving than just let herself die, an idiot boyfriend, two professional divers to the rescue in the middle of the ocean with no weapons just in case some sharks are waiting for them and a know it all heroine and so on.. I don't know.
They could have done it better in my opinion.
Debris (2021)
Absolutely a winner
I might be living under a rock but seriously I just discovered this gem by chance and so far I just saw the third episode (will do another review when I finish it) and I am a big fan for many reasons. The idea is new and the delivery keeps you on the edge all the time while watching there is no moment of drama or what we refer to as "I can go prepare a snack and won't miss a thing" moment because simply if you want to enjoy it prepare snacks before hand cause you will not be able to leave the episode before you are done.
So far it got many surprises, weird happening without any hints and it just makes it right so far.
Few tv series got what this gem got which is a non moment of nothing there is always a moment of new and exciting stuff happening.
Can't wait to finish it.
As promised I did finish it and the only problem I see is that there is no season 2.
I.S.S. (2023)
A tense space drama that is worth watching
How about a space drama without the aliens? At the beginning at least the first 15 minutes it is just a normal astronauts in space but after that the idea of taking over the ISS due to a war on earth is new and I thank them for that. I don't remember watching a movie with the same idea and here where it gets interesting.
The movie is worth watching for the idea itself and some visuals of space and the space station which is truly amazing and only the luckiest are able to look from the windows and watch earth and in this movie watch earth burn to the ground.
I support new ideas for movies related to space and this one got my vote.
The Bricklayer (2023)
Pure action fun
This is kind of movies that you just make popcorn and some beers and enjoy it for pure enjoyment. Good action scenes make it very enjoyable and some John wick similarity which is ok because that was the intention after all a movie to enjoy.
Acting was good and some surprises in the plot although some big holes in the plot but who cares as long as you spend some time enjoying it without thinking but to be honest I really wish they would do part two cause at some point you say the ending is worth another part.
My recommendation for all those who like to watch a movie and not put a lot of mental effort is to go and watch it.
Wild (2014)
An emotional hiking trip
After finished watching this great movie I kept staring at the screen for a couple of minutes as the movie touches life at so many levels and speaks to us asking would you do the same if you faced the same issues the main characters faced in the movie?
At the beginning you feel lost with a couple of good smiles but later on you feel the depth of such characters dealing with such life issues and it is played well and keeps you glued.
A good movie to watch on a rainy day or after a hard day at work because it makes you think and movies that make us think are usually close to our lives or our future lives.
Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire (2023)
Entertaining
It might be unfair to write some movie done by Snyder who I really love and respect as a director and rebel moon was as expected his style his vision his trademark etc but after seeing I was a bit confused was this the same director who did justice league and other major films we loved?
Then I read all of the negative reviews and some were harsh and I wanted to contact some of them and beg them to wait for part 2 and this is how dedicated I am to Zack so I am going to wait.
Maybe one point I would recommend and that make it faraway from the Star Wars plot and let us have an original one signed by Zack and maybe it might help.
La sociedad de la nieve (2023)
Incredible story and very captivating
It has been a while since we watched a movie with substance and this one got it. The story itself, the acting and directing make you wonder how a movie based on a true story could be done so perfectly that each breath you take while watching it is followed by another very quickly. Good movie from all aspects. Thank you.
Beside by admiration of the characters I really enjoyed the point of view of the director especially at the end as the director takes you a step forward and another backward to where it all happened even the wind and the curtain.
This movie changed my perspective and accompanied me from the CGI dominated movie to the almost real thing.
