The French Dispatch (2021)
A light dark comedy
"The French Dispatch" is enjoyable, especially given the numerous stars it features. Even though many stars appear for a short time only, it is fun to do star spotting. The story is dark, but presented in a light way.
Playdurizm (2020)
Mysterious and suspenseful
"Playdurizm" starts off mysterious, and it maintains suspense for a long time. It took me a long time to figure out what is really happening in the story. I like the contrast between the flat and the actual reality of the film. There is plenty of eye candy as well, which is a plus. I enjoyed watching it.
One Shot (2021)
A shot of adrenaline
"One Shot" is an intense action film. It does appear to be shot in one continuous shot, which makes it unusual for a film of this genre. The constant shots and frequent explosions will provide a lot of adrenaline.
Needle in a Timestack (2021)
If you could go back time
"Needle in a Timestack" should be viewed as a drama set in a science fiction background. If you think it's a science fiction film, you'll be bored. If you view it as a drama, it would be interesting, because it's about all the could haves and should haves in life. It is about the regrets and sorrows of life, and what you would do to change it if you could go back time.
Mother/Android (2021)
Lacks tension and suspense
"Mother/Android" is a post apocalyptic science fiction film, but it manages to be quite slow and uneventful. It lacks tension and suspense. I was rather bored by it.
Last Night in Soho (2021)
Intriguing
"Last Night in Soho" is an artistic film that is also intriguing and entertaining. It keeps you guessing what is reality, and it seems ever elusive. I like the two leading ladies in their alikeness and distinctness at the same time.
King Richard (2021)
Uplifting
"King Richard" is an interesting film, because we all know what the ending is, but have no idea of the process. Therefore, it has to have an engaging middle, so that the sure ending becomes well deserved. Acting is good by all actors and actresses. I enjoyed watching this uplifting film.
Johnny Test: Johnny's Holiday Light Fight (2021)
Funny
The story of "Johnny's Holiday Light Fight" reminds me of "Deck the Halls". The story is pretty unreal, which makes it entertaining. The man on the raft provides comic relief as well.
I Was a Simple Man (2021)
A very personal project
"I Was a Simple Man" is obviously a very personal project for the director. So personal that it doesn't translate to a comprehensible experience for the viewers. The characters are poorly explained, and the pace is super slow. It may be an artistic film, but it's not for me.
Happiest Season (2020)
Worth watching
"Happiest Season" takes a long time to set the scene, but the resulting finale is well worth the wait. I find the story positive and beautiful, and I enjoyed it.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)
Marginally exciting
I thought this Ghostbusters film is quite boring. There's no suspense or thrill. Marginally exciting moments happen almost at the end of the film. The characters are not interesting either.
Finch (2021)
Did not work
"Finch" is honestly quite boring. There is no back story, there is no character development, and there is no viewer engagement. All we see is a man running from one place from another with a dog and a robot. If we are supposed to believe there is a human-machine bond, then no, it did not work.
Encanto (2021)
Beautiful colours
"Encanto" tells a story of a girl with no magical powers in a magical family. The colours are beautiful, and the songs are good. However I didn't quite connect with the characters or the story.
Don't Look Up (2021)
Enjoyable
"Don't Look Up" tells a chilling story of lies, oppression, explosion, and deceit in modern day world, but in a light hearted way. The story itself is disturbing, but the delivery is not too depressing. The numerous stars add to the entertaining factor too. I enjoyed watching it.
Clifford the Big Red Dog (2021)
Likable
"Clifford the Big Red Dog" is very cute. The characters are likable, and the story is heart warming. I enjoyed this film way more than I thought I would.
Belfast (2021)
Heartfelt
"Belfast" tells a story of a young boy who grows up in a turbulent time. Belfast it's all he knows, therefore he still loves Belfast and don't want to leave. It is a heartfelt story, and really connects with the viewers. The only scene in colour also gets you thinking as well.
Agnes (2021)
Not engaging
"Agnes" is slow paced, and has an unfocused plot. There's not much happening, and events are not well developed. The ending is very weak. Overall, it is not scary and not engaging.
8-Bit Christmas (2021)
Cute
"8-Bit Christmas" is cute and heart warming. It really speaks to many children's childhood dreams of owning a video console. It has a simple plot, but it is very effective. I enjoyed watching it.
The Teacher (2019)
Disappointing
The Chinese title of the film is "My Soul of Made of Love". The title appears promising, but the actual film is very disappointing. The camera work is very strange, as scenes get cut frequently, as if it's skipping. The story is fragmented, and many things are not said.
The Christmas Setup (2020)
Sweet
I find "The Christmas Setup" sweet and romantic. The two characters are likable, and I really feel for them. Even though the plot is predictable, I enjoyed watching it.
The Bitch Who Stole Christmas (2021)
Appeals to certain viewers
"The B**** Who Stole Christmas" is a brain off comedy. It features a lot of characters with personalities, so it will appeal to a certain set of viewers.
Romeo & Juliet (2021)
Interesting
It is interesting to watch a version of Romeo and Juliet that is modern and not on a set. I think the film is different, and it's intriguing. I think the leads are good, and I like the diversity of actors.
Red Notice (2021)
Unbelievable plot
There are far too many convenient events in the film, it is just not believable. It's one unlikely event after another, that it really challenges logic and reality. I didn't quite enjoy the film as a result.
Ron's Gone Wrong (2021)
Cute and sweet
This animation is very cute and sweet. The characters are cute and likable. I like the story, as it is very relatable. I think both adults and children will like this film.
Rumble (2021)
Not likable
The animation not likable in many ways. The monsters all look very ugly, and I can imagine going children crying when they see these characters. The human characters are not charming either, and it is unlikely that children or their parents will bond with the human characters. The story is boring and uninspiring.
