Hi!
That sucks for Captain MArvel.
The fugitive: Oh yeah, classic. 8/10
Might give After life a look someday.
My last 2 weeks:
Week 1
Broken Horse (2015 DVD): I expected nothing special about this one, I just have a friend who told me it was good. I have to say that I was surprised by a story we’ve seen quite a few times before but told in a unique and atmospheric fashion. The final 20 minutes was especially astonishing. 7/10
The science of sleep (2006 DVD): The night I finished Mood indigo (last week’s 9.5/10) I immediately ordered this one and was anxious to see if. I did enjoy it but it did not hit me on a level like the other Gondry film did. Still, very quirky and fun but I find it strange that they used a Spanish actor and a French actress (two actors I like a lot btw) to make an English movie. 7/10
Megamind (2010 TV): We missed the first 15 minutes but my kids and I all enjoyed it. Good family movie. 7/10
Week 2
Isle of dogs (2018 DVD): What a wonderful, beautiful film with a great story, good characters, and a cool soundtrack that was. And it’s funny too. Dry, sly humour. Loved it. 8-8.5/10
Fist Fight (2017 NETFLIX): I’m an “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia” fan and I’m a rapper so the Ice Cube/Charlie Day match was a win-win for me. The joke (story) got a bit old pretty quick, I must admit but fortunately, a nice cast of side-characters brought life to this joint. I laughed but in the end, it’s nothing more than an average comedy. 6/10
Birth of a nation (2016 TV): What a weird movie to review; it is at time masterpiece material and at other times it looks like a DTV-movie. The actors could be nominated for an Oscar at times and for a Razzie at others. The story of a slave rebelling was awesome and the cinematography was great but again, this movie was really uneven. It has more pros than cons though. 7/10
Assassination (“Amsal” 2015 Blu-ray): “While Korea is occupied by the Japanese Army in 1933, the resistance plans to kill the Japanese Commander. But their plan is threatened by a traitor within their group.” Pros: Nice cinematography, good cast, cool gunfights and a few interesting ideas in the plot. Cons: Too many characters and not enough development for each one of them, story is convoluted at times, some scenes were superfluous and it takes itself a bit too seriously for my taste. Let the bullets fly was better. My rating: 6.5/10
Happy Feet (2006 TV): We enjoyed this fun and beautiful movie but I will say something I never said before though: I was slightly bothered by some heavily-handed messages in the story. I usually frown upon that kind of phrase but there it is, I said it. Otherwise, the characters were mostly all good and the music was tolerable. 7/10
