Death on the Nile (2022)
Why? This movie is an abominatiln
I love Agatha Christie and I read the book several times. I also warched the movies with Peter Ustinov and David Suchet and thouroughly enjoyed them. Maybe I would have liked this version if I hadn't read the book or watched the movies, I don't know. What annoys me the most are all the pointless changes to the original story. Poirot's ridiculous backstory with him being wounded in WW1 and giving up his dream of becoming a farmer?!? Poirot was a police officer in the books, and he hates hard physical labour and dirt. He would never have wanted to become a farmer. And don't get me started on the tragic love story, I mean come on. I also DONG's get all the changes to the characters - was it supposed to make it "less confusing"? First of all, it wasn't confusing, it made sense. Second of all, the new/changed characters doesn't add anything good to the movie. For crying out loud, if you feel you have to change the original so much to make a movie, then WRITE YOUR OWN STORY instead of butchering the great works of Agatha Christie. If Kenneth Branagh does this again (I fear he might - I read somewhere he's working on "Evil under the sun") the queen should strip him of his knighthood.
Prisoners (2013)
This movie sucks.
It could have been a decent movie I guess. But it is not. Jake Gyllenhaal is one of the most incompetent policeofficers ever (not getting back-up, letting a suspect steal his gun and commit suicide and so on). Although he miracoulously manages to drive a car after being shot in the head. Hugh Jackman's character is a complete moron who basically tortures the wrong guy - and by the way what happened to that poor guy? Did he die? Or is he still stuck in Hugh Jackmans homemade cell? And what was the deal with the drawings of the maze How did this movie ever get a 8.1 rating?
Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood (2019)
Pointless and confusing
There is no real story/plot in this movie. It is going nowhere and just seems to be a lot of random namedropping. I sort of get the feeling that Tarantino wanted to make a Coen brothers movie and failed. Good acting though, and good set/costume/props which is why I give it 4 Stars.
Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner (2019)
What kind of show is this?
I really liked Ugly delicious and I was hoping for a show primarily about cooking. But I was disaapointed. Is it about cooking or travelling or is it sort of a on-the-road-talkshow? It is like it wants to be all of the three things but ends up not really being any of them.
