Seventeen (2019)

Beautiful story

[9/10 · 2 November 2019]

I really enjoyed this movie. It reminded me of Stand By Me in a way because of its (very) kindhearted characters, and because the movie is full of little moments that will make you laugh, and deep conversations between the two lead characters. Highly recommended!

Venom (2018)

Very fun movie

[9/10 · 3 October 2018]

I don't know what's going on with all the negative reviews. People are really hard to please! I went to see that movie without any real expectations and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

• Tom Hardy does a fantastic job
• Venom is an interesting and fun character
• The plot is fairly classic for this type of movie; nothing good or bad about it
• The special effects are great - I loved the transformation scenes.

Overall, I recommend it if you like the genre, want to have a good time with a dose of laughters and aren't overly hard to please.

As Above, So Below (2014)

Worst cinema experience of my life.

[1/10 · 15 September 2014]

I went to see this movie in a theater with a friend of mine. What attracted me in the synopsis was the fact that it took place in the Paris catacombs and the similarity to The Descent plot-wise. I had loved The Descent. Now, unfortunately, I wasn't aware that the movie had been filmed with the 'shaky camera' effect. If I had known that, I would not have bothered going. After less than 5 minutes watching the movie, I started feeling nauseous because of all the shaking. At the time the characters reached the catacombs, I had to keep my eyes closed to prevent myself from getting sick. I only stayed in the room because we had paid and my friend didn't feel as bad as i did. After the movie, it took me about 10 minutes to feel better and my friend, who had watched the movie fully, used the word 'terrible' to describe it. Overall, it was a big disappointment and the worst cinema experience of my life.
