Hi Darky!
Oh I loved The Dream Team and need to see it again as it's been at least 10 yrs.
Mine:
Iceman (2014 Netflix): After a few minutes of watching this I realised I had already watched it so I looked on my movie log and had it at a 5/10. Although Donnie Yen’s performance still bothered me, I was able to enjoy the other details more this time. The action and humour are very well balanced and the rest of the cast is good. Imagine a mix between Encino Man, Kung Fu Hustle and Machete. 6/10
The Outsiders (1983 DVD) : With poor editing, mediocre filming and crappy sound, this film still managed to touch me and get a grip on me thanks to solid acting, colorful characters and a good screenplay. 7.5/10
Mandy (2018 DVD): I thought this movie was kinda cool, no more no less. Lots of people say it got “heart” but I failed to feel that. It could’ve been quite good if what I bought the movie for (extreme Cage violence) had been well done but it was not. The gore was poor in quality and did not even make sense. I mean, the guy that made the movie must think the human skulls are made of papier-mâché. What allowed me to enjoy this movie was the cinematography and the overall atmosphere; LOVED it, very trippy and beautiful. The bad guys are fun too. Although I can’t go out without mentioning that I almost ffw over Linus Roach’s never-ending monologue of how he was the Chosen One. My rating: 6/10
Warm Bodies (2013 Netflix): Now THIS! This is a movie with heart. Thank you Allaby for giving me the shove I needed to finally give this gem a watch. The guy that played the zombie gave such a good performance that this very good movie became an instant favorite of mine. The rest of the cast, the direction, the script, the special FX, everything else was just great. 8.5/10
Revenge (2017 DVD): First off, the best thing I did was going in this one without watching the Trailer. Now, unlike Mandy, I enjoyed being played with by this movie. It constantly goes against logic, right in your face, only to deliver the greatest thrills, the goriest spills and the most beautiful sceneries such a film can deal. I can’t wait to get fondled by this movie again for a second intense experience (although I think I’ll skip the “Foot scene”). T’was almost as intense as The Villainess. My rating: 8.5/10
Vacation (2015 TV): Both me and my wife enjoyed it. Although the movie lost a bit of its stride once their car ran out of gas, the first hour was filled with laughs and I really like the two brothers. There’s a lot of funny stunts but those made on computer were not as funny as those made by stunt doubles. The family fight in the end was cool too. 7/10
A Christmas Story (1983 DVD): I think this is the best Christmas movie ever but strangely, I only saw it for the first time 2 or 3 years ago. 8.5-9/10
