What up, what up!
Spider-man: Into the spider-verse: YEah we got the same rating. It’s a lot of fun, it looks impressive and the soundtrack is kicking but I failed to be amazed by the story. T'was my favorite Spider-man movie untill this week.
Watership Down I want to watch. I actually thought it WAS for kids at first.
True Detective: i only saw the first episode and never came back to it. Maybe I should...
My week:
Welcome to Collinwood (2002 DVD): This movie was short and sweet, simple and effective, funny and entertaining. The cast was nice and I was surprised to see that Sam Rockwell was the lead (he’s unrecognizable on the case) and he was really good. William H Macy plays one of his best characters ever, George Clooney has good moments and Michael Jeter (RIP) is hilarious. If you did not like The Ladykillers (2004) this one is similar but might be better for you. If you liked The Ladykillers this one is a must for you. My rating: 7.5-8/10
Black Mirror: Bendersnatch (2018 Netflix): Fun concept, cool experience. Although the path I followed brought me to an abrupt end (like 45 minutes) so the movie kept suggesting me to go back to make a different choice and I saw the same scenes 2-3 times. But this minor flaw was worth it because I enjoyed discovering the new paths. I have to admit I anticipated the moment the movie would offer me the choice to kill someone. Mouhahaha, byebye “dad”!! I would rate the movie itself a 7 but the concept elevates it to a 8/10
Office Christmas Party (2016 Netflix): Please take a look at the movie’s poster on Imdb and you’ll understand why I loved this gem that went under my radars until now. First, notice that there is 11 actors listed; I can assure you that there is AT LEAST 11 memorable characters in this movie. Then look at the picture with the burnt Christmas tree, the broken window and the passed out people; The story and event do manage to evokes that feeling of wild partying and chaos. Plus it’s hilarious and might be the best “Jason Bateman comedy” ever and yes I think it was funnier than Game Night. My rating: 7.5-8/10
A quiet Place (2018 Netflix): OK, maybe the fact that it took me 40 minutes to realise that the english subtitles did not translate their sign language didn’t help me to care for the story but I failed to invest myself completely into this film. Once I switched to french subtitles it was definitely better. There are a few highlights, mainly the children actors and the ending, but this movie has nothing on Hereditary. My rating 6.5/10
Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017 Blu-ray): This movie was a real blast and I loved it. Im not a reference for spider-man movies (barely saw any of them) but this one instantly entered my Top 5 Marvel movies. Well done for my taste. 8.5/10
Histoire d’Hivers (“Winter Stories” 1999 TV): “An adult reminisces about his life in the 1966/67 school year. At fifteen years old, he collected hockey cards, played street hockey with his friends, tried skating and ice hockey for the first time in his life, but was most fascinated with his local national league team, the Montréal Canadiens.” Heart-warming, genuine, nostalgic and touching, this winter-feel-good movie was perfect for the season. I can’t believe I never saw it before; it’s all actors I know and good ones at that! 8.5-9/10
Spaceballs (1987 DVD): It was my first time watching this flick from start to finish. Although it was not as funny as I thought it would be, I thought it was fairly entertaining and Pullman, Candy, Moranis and Rivers elevated it. 6.5/10
Tsotsi (2005 DVD): “Six days in the violent life of a young Johannesburg gang leader. “ All through this film I kept having déja-vu, as if I had seen it before but Im pretty sure I never did. Anyways, good story, good acting, good movie and good direction from Gavin Hood. 7.5/10
NOW I WISH YOU A GREAT MOVIE A-WATCHIN' YEAR FOR 2019
PEACE
