Arcane: League of Legends (2021)
One of the best TV Series I've watched in years
I started watching this show with no prior knowledge or heads-up. It wasn't recommended to me, I don't know the League of Legends game, and I didn't even watch the trailer. One day I was bored and I randomly picked Arcane to watch. And Oh My God it was a wonderful experience of joy, sadness, surprise, awe, and more. The show introduces a lot of characters, each of them have an interesting story and charisma. If you're not familiar with the lore like me, you wouldn't know who to vouch for and how their character evolution will go. I think the thing that attracted me the most is how human the show is. A protagonist who occasionally makes mistakes, a perceived villain has good points to becoming one and also showing a human side from time to time. Highly recommend.
Mosul (2019)
Excellent and gripping movie
This movie is a masterpiece! The action literally starts from the beginning and the following scenes will keep you at the edge of your seat. Death and destruction is seen everywhere. You might also notice how easy someone can get killed, and thats how it is in real life. Not everyone get's a heroic death running throwing enemy lines guns blazing and dies after the 10th bullet in his body. Sometimes soldiers get killed by an unexpected ricochet or friendly fire.
The acting in my opinion was superb.
Long Way Up (2020)
A wonderful adventure, however...
Reading through the reviews, I think those who left bad reviews are missing the point of the show. People are fixated on the charging part. Those two great and wonderful friends, Ewan and Charley, wanted to take another long trip from south America to Las Vegas. They could've done in a gasoline bikes but they wanted to experiment with electric everything. We are just there with them for the ride. However, that's not what the show is about, it's about the journey, the places they visit, the people they meet. It's so heart-warming seeing the interact with their surrounding and how wonderful time they had in there. I honestly felt so jealous that I never had the chance to do something like that. Watching them go, makes me feel like I just wanna have an adventure road trip, regardless of whether it's electric or gasoline.
It's a great show, well done!
Next Gen (2018)
Easily a solid 10
This movie takes you in an amazing journey, there isn't. a moment when I felt bored and wanted to fast forward which is a good sign. The ending is perfect which is something that most movies fail to achieve. Highly recommend it.
The VVitch: A New-England Folktale (2015)
I didn't know you can put that much rubbish in one movie!!
The is the worst movie I've ever watched in my entire life. There are terrible movies, but this one? it is in a whole new level of bad.The movie is so darn slow that it makes you wanna fast forward, or maybe keep it on fast forward. The director likes to put a camera in a place and not move it for like 10 minutes, I don't know if you call that directing. A dark screen that lasts for literally one minute. A dark screen can be used to separate two scenes but why keep it for a minute? because there is not story in here, it's just stalling. The ending is so disappointing and boring at the same time. When the credits started running I said "What? is that it?" It's just a waste of time.
The Leftovers (2014)
Don't watch it . no matter how the reviews and ratings are compelling
Let me clear things first, I'm not new to TV series, and I'm definitely not superficial when judging titles. I waste at least 4 hours a day watching movies and TV series. And that's been for the past 8 years. Maybe now you will listen to my advice when I tell you "Don't waste your time with it, it's terrible".
This show is terrible, awful, and boring as hell. I really gave it a try, the first episode is the worst pilot I've ever watched on TV. I thought I should just give up watching it. When I came back to IMDb to rate it I read some of the ratings claiming that you can't judge the series from the pilot because even they admit it's terrible. So I watched the second. guess what? it's even worst. It's so boring that makes you wanna turn it off right in the middle of the episode. The director has this thing that he probably loves, he flashes an anonymous event in split second with a loud sound that doesn't make any sense to the viewer. "It will be revealed later", well, it's not a good presentation, it's really annoying and it keeps happening over and over. So I said, well, the first two episodes are bad, maybe things will turn out to be good in the third!! Yes, you guessed it, it didn't. It just keeps getting worst every f***ing episode. I couldn't even continue watching the third one.
I wasted two hours and a half with this nonsense, I hope you don't make the same mistake. You could easily skip this series, watching something else that actually enjoyable. DON'T LISTEN TO THE POSITIVE REVIEWS!!!! IT'S DECEIVING.
The Space Between Us (2017)
Just awful and ridiculous
Don't waste your time on this awful movie.Where do I begin, the acting is the most terrible thing in this movie, even though there are great actors/actresses involved in it. I think it's mostly due to the terrible director. There are scenes where you see things imagined in the future that don't make any sense. When I saw it I said the director must be really old and doesn't know anything about technology and all. And I was right, he's too old school to have a realistic vision of the future.
I would say that during the making the whole team was too lazy to try to perfect the scenes, this is the only explanation that I could come up with. By the way, the whole story isn't that interesting. It's like someone said to himself "what if someone was born on Mars? let's make a movie about it" I mean, how the heck did a pregnant woman get into a spaceship in the first place??!!. These are not the places where people get to make such mistakes. The crew must have gone through a thorough examination prior to their trip. Especially, right before they leave. And yeah, the boy had to be so stubborn, even though he never been in touch with other children, he only lived with old scientists. How did he get this childish attitude? genetics?
There are things that just ridiculous like transparent laptops that allow any stranger to peek into what the user is doing!! and they are huge, like why would a student carry a glass made, transparent laptop to school when you have Ultrabooks that are smaller, lighter, and give you more privacy. Just like I said, the director is too old to imagine such things, and the whole crew is too lazy to point out the issue to the director, they just want to get paid regardless of the final outcome.
I honestly couldn't go through the first hour of the movie, it's ridiculous.
Arrival (2016)
Ignore the bad reviews and read this one
This movie is the kind of movie that you have to watch it till the end so you can understand it right. First impressions is key and this movie starts with scene that you might find unimportant. But hold your breath, every single scene is interconnected. It's so damn brilliant!! The moral lesson of the movie is something else, in fact, it's everyone's dream.
The acting is beyond perfect, Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, and Forest Whitaker is breathtaking. They've done a really really well job which makes you immerse in the experience. I've watched so many movies and I was almost convinced that modern movies are terrible. Until I watched this movie. This is the best movie I watched since 2015. Period.
For those who rated this movie have something in common, THEY DIDN'T WATCH IT TILL THE END. If you sit in a place where there are people who aren't really fans of movies or science fiction. And they start commenting on every single detail, it will ruin the movie. I believe you guys should watch the movie again, and ALONE. Focus on the meaning behind it. Stop arguing whether Aliens should look like a certain figure, or whether the physics are possible. Writers aren't scientists, but they are good at speaking to our souls. If you are smart enough, you will be able to detect the message.
The Flash (2014)
Dumb, boring and cheesy
I only watched this show because I had nothing else to do and I saw that the ratings are 8.6. The show sucked from the first episode, it's so dumb that makes you wanna hit the wall with your head. It seems like a 9 year old kid wrote the whole script. I don't even know where to begin ***Spoiler***: 1- How to hack a highly secured server? 3 seconds of hitting the keyboard, what??? 2- A man with a real gun can be easily handled by the flash, another man with a stupid ice gun seems impossible for the flash !!! 3- The flash cannot overrun bees !!! 4- " Barry: Bees are attacking again!! Felicity: Bee careful" What is that??? who wrote this sh**t? who say something like that in a situation like that?? and you can imagine how the other conversations went. 5- How to run throw things? the flash vibrates himself to air frequency !!!! what the hell is that?? 6- Barry tells everyone that he is the flash except for Iris to keep her safe?? what about the rest?? and by the way she's still not safe anyway. 7- A tsunami hitting the city how to handle this? Run fast enough back and forth to create an air barrier !! can you imagine scientists deal with tsunamis the same way? this is pure stupidity.
No Escape (2015)
Finally, a movie that I can call "The best movie of the year"
I started watching this movie without watch its trailer because I just wanted any movie to waste my time for an hour or so, since I saw the rating was about 6.8 I thought it's just a normal movie. At first I was trying to understand in which country this movie is taking place (Which they won't mention so people won't relate violence to that country in real life) then the action started unpredictably !! I literally sat on the edge of my seat, I called my wife and the movie caught us till the end with no blink. It's the kinda of movie that you think about for a while after watching it. I highly advice watching it because you won't regret it for sure. The acting was incredible, well done Owen Wilson, Lake Bell, and Pierce Brosnan.
Act of Valor (2012)
meet the supermen!!! they never die
this movie is not worth watching, non of the American soldiers can be killed, this is impossible, and we go back to the point were all the non American soldiers cannot fight they just walk around the streets shooting randomly waiting for a bullet to kill them, we all know this isn't true, there are tough fighters everywhere, non of the actors nor the actresses nows how to act, it's fiasco.
the whole movie is about corrupting the image about Islam, there are no terrorist in the world but muslims, this is what the movie is about, non of the fights are real, what you see in the movie is totally different from what you see in real fighting, if I had to give it from 1 to 10, I'd choose not to give anything at all.
I still think the best war movie is "Saving Private Ryan", and this is nothing compared to it.
