Hi!
We got one in common this week:
Olympus has fallen (2013 DVD): I bought this movie over a year ago and someone mentioned it recently so I finally gave it a watch. I actually thought that the core scene of the movie where they take the White house was a bit weak; the special effects were not very good and they practically just came with plane, guns and bombs and entered through the front door thanks to a few traitors inside. I expected something a bit more elaborate and clever. Personally, this film shone through the smaller details; the relationship between the hero and the young boy, the dialogues, the scene where the hero kicks the American traitor’s ass, the opening scene with the car accident, the phone call to his wife… Overall, it was entertaining, violent but not really impressive. My rating: 6-6.5/10
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018 Netflix): “An anthology film comprised of six stories, each dealing with a different aspect of life in the Old West.”
My rating for each segment:
the ballad of buster scruggs 6.5/10 (did not like the final song)
near algodonoes 7.5/10
meal ticket 6/10
all gold canyon 8.5/10
the gal who got rattled 7.5/10
the mortal remains 7/10
Cam (2018 Netflix): I gotta say that I enjoyed the abrasive tones of this movie, the atmosphere, acting and directing combined together really got me into the story so I felt the tension. The first half of the movie is great and the second half is okay. Spoiler:I think it could have been better if they made the Tinker guy’s part of the story bigger. He was connected with all the copied girls yet, not much came out of him. My rating: 7/10
Im now at episode 7 of Into the badlands S2 so, almost done and it just keeps getting better.
