Scooby-Doo for me is always very special, so I was very excited about this movie, but I was also a little bit gloomy if they only wanted to make some money, without taking care of the movie itself. but no, they did a good job, without ruining anything.
the movie has a good plot and going very fast, there is a lot of good scenes and emotional moments, the soundtracks, and the songs, were also excellent, I liked putting some of scooby classical sound effects in some scenes, even it didn't match excellently with some scenes, not like the cartoon but it was very nostalgic, the voice acting was so good from almost all characters, the villain side of this movie has a good motivation but not organized perfectly, it could have been better, on the contrary, the heroic side was perfectly organized, Blue Falcon's story was good and the trip of finding himself and the relationship between him and the dog was amazing, as good as of course Shaggy and Scooby and their story also. some characters didn't have much to do.
at least I am very pleased with this movie and I hope they do more Scooby movies soon.

The power of colors
31 May 2020
What the power can do, how can the power lead to corrupt the family, and turn them on each other, your actions will stick on you forever, and your day will come? that what this film shows us in such a great way.
this film blowing your mind, the plot was amazing, every event hit the point, and that couldn't happen without a great director like Akira Kurosawa, he did what anyone else cant does, and surely only him can do what he did with this film, a genius directing, he gave the space for actors to show their abilities, time distribution was perfect, he also took advantage of colors, and uses them correctly, in the right moment, place, and situation, when you see the movie you realize the power of colors, and how you can use them, all of that mixed with magnificent cinematography. the editing keeps you hooked all the time, soundtracks were also amazing, they matched with the scenes perfectly, Acting as well as was perfect from all of the cast, they show us a great performance.
my only issue with the movie is the characters of the three brothers,
they begin to fight each other instantly, they didn't show any potentials at the very beginning of the movie, if we spent with them enough time while showing their real nature, that would be more convincing.
Bombshell
(I) (2019)
whats really going on behind the scenes
16 May 2020
Bombshell showed us What happened in the Fox Channels scandal with the CEO of Fox News Channel Roger Ailes of harassing female employees, and how was the process of exposing and suing him, when I watched this movie I was not aware of the real events that happened at Fox, so I don't know what happened exactly but I will base this film.
Far from the political aspect of the movie, this film managed in one way or another to tell these events excellently, and we all know that many women around the world not only in the United States or in TV companies have suffered or suffer from harassment at work or even in the streets, and not all women can take their rights away. It is truly sad, if a woman has ambition and seeks to achieve her goals, then she must sell her body to some foolish men, who take advantage of their positions and power, for the sake of their lusts.
Positives
The director Jay Roach did a good job of choosing this directing method, although it was not quite successful, the editing was also excellent, and splitting the scenes between the great cast, in an excellent way, starting with the actress Charlize Theron as Megyn Kelly, which was the best in my view, And also the wonderful Nicole Kidman as Gretchen Carlson, and Margot Robbie as Kayla Pospisil that will be of great importance in the coming years, also John Lithgow as Roger Ailes, all of them did a very amazing job, the music was good for the purpose, the choice of colors, costumes, and makeup was very successful. I wished that Roger Ailes took a little more time to know him more than being the CEO of the company and women.
Wonderful movie and definitely worth your time.

Capone
(2020)
It could be way better.
15 May 2020
I watched this movie and I know a little bit about Al Capone, all I knew that he was a mob boss, I wasn't know how his life was like, or how he became what he is in this movie, so when I was watching the movie I didn't feel anything, and I didn't care about Al Capone I cared about the great Tom Hardy, He was awesome as always. That's it, the only thing I loved about the movie is Tom Hardy. The narrative when you read about it, it looks great, and you think this movie will be fine, but the institution was very missy, you don't know what's going on, good directing, bad editing, and that's it.
Memories of Murder
(2003)
The Best Of His Kind
3 May 2020
There is a lot of great movies talking about mystery murders and murderers, but in my opinion there is two movies are the top, one of them is Zodiac (2007) from the genius David Fincher. and the other one is Definitely this movie memories of murders from the genius South Korean Bong Jon-Ho.
the movie takes place in South Korea in 1987, about a mysterious murders happen in a small city by a serial killer, and we see two Detectives from the police while they collecting evidences trying to arrest him, so we go along with them in their journey to find out the truth.
in my view this movie is very unique and has a very special theme,
what I like about this movie is that the main character and his friend are not genius or heroes like the other movies, they are not very smart at all and they have no values and morals, they are trying to do anything for their best interest, they don't care about arresting the killer or solving the case in the right way, this was great in the movie.
the directing by Bong Joon Ho was a great, he had the right style for telling the story, specially with using the Long take shots in the right moments and the right places, this type of shots lit the actors show their abilities. the acting was Excellent specially from detective Park playing by the great Kang-ho Song , the cinematography also was amazing, the line story almost to be perfect but the second half had a little problem, but otherwise the movie is blowing your mind, Definitely Memories of Murder Deserve your time my friend.
Grave of the Fireflies
(1988)
Why every man most watch Hotaru no haka?
14 January 2020
This movie is definitely the greatest anime movie have ever made,a great plot mixed with a sensitive meanings, showing what the war can left from damages & losses, how it can make the childhood a very difficult childhood without family, throwing the human in the hands of destiny. And turn the hope to disparate, the happiness to sadness & suffering, the desire of laving to the wish of death. all of that comes with a great soundtrack attached with the events of the movie, this movie seen by everyone.

The Shining
(1980)
Stanley Kubrick & The Shining
21 October 2019
I like Stanley Kubrick, and I believe that he is one of the greatest directors of all time.
every thing in this movie is great the story line, the dialogues, directing, especially the one take shots of Kubrick's theme, and the dark theme of this film and the angles of camera give you sense of anxiety , soundtracks are very good and using it in the perfect scenes make the whole experience great.
acting was great by the oscary Jack Nicholson as he doing every time, and the child was good, but Shelley Duvall was awful and her acting was very Provocative, she was a huge weakness in this movie from my view.
