The First Omen (2024)

This movie needed little to be great

[5/10 · 6 June 2024]

It should have properly explained the events leading to the next film with some cleverness, horror, and impact, creating an "aha!" moment at the end.

The boy's mother should die and somehow be connected to a jackal, which doesn't happen. Father Spiletto should end up disabled and burned, but this is not shown. The real son of Robert Thorn is killed with a fractured skull, which is unclear. There's a loose end involving a sister that doesn't tie into the sequels. The reason for conceiving the child is not believable, but if that were the case, they achieved their goal in the third installment.

It's currently fashionable for movie villains to be nuns and priests, which seems ideological. The movie had great potential but merely rehashed the script of "Inmaculate." Instead of a good movie, the result is one more.

Poor Things (2023)

Boring, grotesque, and misleading

[3/10 · 30 May 2024]

Boring, grotesque, and misleading.

Having famous actors in a movie does not make it good. The performances are exaggerated, and you never manage to connect with any of the characters. You end up detesting them.

The cinematography is jarring, with its colors and settings making it look like a story for children or Disney princesses, which it definitely is not. Emma tried to make a different kind of movie with a message that turned out to be obvious: society fills us with inhibitions, shed them and you'll find your true self. It preaches feminism at all costs.

There is little to redeem this film and make it worth watching. Not even its pornographic content, which is terrible. Despite its good ratings, this movie will not be remembered positively, and once you watch it, you won't want to see it again."

Single's Inferno (2021– )

Most beautiful girl ever

[9/10 · 22 August 2022]

This shows differences to the westerns realities we are accustomed with vulgarity and swearing. If you like them this progrqm will be boring for you.

Most interesting of the show is how the managed their insecurities and the timid competition among them.

I understand it is matter of preferences, but you may see the most beautiful girl ever, for her personality, intelligence, kindness and of course beauty. Shin Ji Yeon.

The Unholy (2021)

As many of this movie genre, can´t finish the story.

[4/10 · 28 December 2021]

The story kind of develops at the beginning, quickly drops, terrible end. By the way the premise of the movie is clearly all Marian apparitions are evil.

The Envoys (2021– )

Poor direction, poor acting

[5/10 · 28 December 2021]

This is supposed to be a supernatural or psychological thriller. So many directors just can´t create a suspense atmosphere. They just tell the story.

Actors should at least study a little of padre behavior. A metrosexual, wearing jeans, atheist father; and a gay father. I am strictly talking of the performances, not the actors.

Story is getting complex and I am guessing the end will be disappointing.

Somos. (2021)

Disappointing. This is a great story that had to be told

[5/10 · 10 July 2021]

The perspective was correct, show the human side of the victims instead the glorify criminals. The problem is they made it poorly and boring story. It was not necessary six chapters when three well written would be enough. In summary I hope someone take again this idea and relate it as it deserves.

The Castle of Purity (1973)

Evil Captain Fantastic

[6/10 · 17 September 2020]

Could be better. True history but missing the point. A good book, not a good movie
