Decision to Leave (2022)

Shattered

[9/10 · 31 January 2024]

I'm feeling shattered- meaning of shattered to be broken or ruined

Park Chan-wook goes all out in creating a twisted and very interesting film. The film It's hard to get your head around at first, but once you figure that out, you're basically in for one of the greatest movie experiences ever. The film follows Hae-Joon, a detective who investigates the death of a man on a mountaintop. Soon, he begins to suspect Seo-rae, the dead man's wife, and begins to develop feelings for her. It's amazing because it mixes romance with something so uncomfortable, and this element of romance (paired with some great editing) can create loads of good suspense. Just adding on to that, this film is a visual spectacle; it's got an amazing colour palette and an amazing use of editing; it's just a movie filled with twists and turns.

Hae-il Park gives an incredible performance. Everything about his performance is just perfect, whether it's his emotion or his line delivery. He gives such an amazing performance, and it stinks that he's not in too many other big films other than The Host and Memories of Murder.

After watching this film, I will be going down the Park Chan-wook rabbit hole and watching some of his other films, such as Old Boy, The Handmaiden, and hopefully Thirst.

This film is amazing, and it deserves every piece of praise it gets. I highly recommend it.

Scream (1996)

What's your favorite scary movie

[10/10 · 13 March 2023]

I love this film. Evrey single scene with ghostface made me scared. Some of ghostfaces lines from what's you favourite scary movie or I'm want to know who I am looking at. Their was actually nothing wrong with this film. I do belive that this film has some of the best acting performances in scary movie history other than silence of the lambs. The plot is so great in evrey way and the revel is so great. It has a amazing screenplay and a classic horror director with wes craven. And drew Barrymore was a rising star at the time making one of the best if not the best opening scene of all time. Overall 9.7/10.

Save Ralph (2021)

Emotional short

[7/10 · 13 March 2023]

I found this short very hard to watch beacuse of the fact that rabbit was basically abused. This did have a few bad things like the style of the short . It followed a simple story about a rabbit that is being tested and is abused. It try's to stay focused but the way the bunny looks is quite distracting. But the message does leave you thinking. I do believe this isn't taika watits best work, sorry if I spelt that wrong. I belive that he could have done some more stuff like the cinematography better. I definitely don't think this is Tristan Oliver's best Either. Beacuse he did fantastic Mr fox. Overall 7.1/10.

Don't Hug Me I'm Scared (2022– )

Mentally terrifying

[4/10 · 12 March 2023]

This series is on of the most brutal and scary tv shows out there. But I hated most of it. It had too diffrent storys trying to work at the same time which makes the themes messy. It had some okay acting from Joseph pelling. But his character as red was too annoying I liked yellow more. It some good cinematography though. But in a short like this cinematography has to be good. Beacuse Kids do care more than adults do when it comes to shorts. But then again it had that fight club feel I'm ep 6. So mabey not for kids. But overall a boardline average short mini TV series with bad acting,decent cinematography and a bad plot.

Whiplash (2014)

This is a must see

[10/10 · 11 March 2023]

Omg whiplash is so good. This movie was way better than I expected and I came in with high expectations. It had some amazing performance from Miles Teller and Jk simmons but a great performance from Paul Reiser as well. A simple but yet effective plot following a obsessed drummer who joins a studio band. Some amazing shots throughout the film. I do think this is easly Miles Tellers best. I haven't seen invincible so at the moment I believe this is Jk simmons best. Now i don't think this is Damien chasel's best only beacuse of la la land (which is in my top 4 aorn). I do believe that Sharon meirs best work was in this film. I gave these two a mention beacuse of the story behind whiplash. Overall a 9.5/10.

Top Gun: Maverick (2022)

Top gun 2 is good

[7/10 · 10 March 2023]

I watched this film today and well the way I am going to review this is in three parts:

1. Past/characters I noticed that to watch this film you need to watch the first or else you will not understand one of the most important relationships of the film Rooster and Mav. Another key relationship of the film was Mav and Penny. That end scene with the lyrics hold my hand made me cry as the credits played.

2. cinematography This movie like avatar way of water is visually amazing and some of the camera shots/movement was amazing. And it really effected the films pacing at times.

3.sound/negatives If you didn't notice I think this movie is a good sequel not amazing but good. I think it is not the best movie of 2022 it's EEAAO which by the way is a must watch. I think the reason I didn't like this as much as others was because sometime the film bored me with it slow pacing at times and, it gave us a very boring antagonist with Val Kilmer as ice man. But then again it did give us that soundtrack with two BANGERS.

The Untouchables (1987)

One of the best 80s movies!

[8/10 · 9 March 2023]

I enjoyed this film a lot. It carried on at first but like The departed a lot happened towards the end. I believe that this film could have been a lot more enjoyable if Robbie de Niro had more screen time. Because he stole every single scene that he was in. I also think it was better from the polices POV because it made the film have more emotion with each of the scenes. I have only seen one Brian de Palma film but boy does he know how to put you on the edge of your seat. Every moment made me wonder about what was going to happen next. It's score is also so amazing and terrifying at the same time.

Overall: 7.8/10.

50 First Dates (2004)

Aloha lucy

[7/10 · 8 March 2023]

This movie made me feel lots of different emotions all at once and I think that this movies 3rd act was a bit on the weaker end but still decent. I think that something this well is takle the subject of disabled people. It did it so well that I think that 10 second Tom was one of the funnier characters in the film. I also loved drew Barrymore's performance in this film. It just made me feel sorry for evreything Lucy is going through. Also forgetful Lucy is a classic. I also liked the side characters a lot in this film. But the only thing that put this film down for me was some of the cinematography. Overall a 6.9-7.

La La Land (2016)

One of the best movies of the modern era

[10/10 · 8 March 2023]

Damien chasel keep On Bring up bangers. Whiplash, Babylon, 1st man And now this. This is one of the best soundtracks of all time. It is fast pasted. And you've just got Emma storm being amazing. Definitely a must watch from me from everyone. And not only will you cry but you will actually laugh when your not crying or dancing yes dancing. And this is another great movie that makes you want to chase your dreams. And not to mention the cinematography of this film. It was just so good to look at and especially the keyboard shot. Something about that shot yeah just go watch la la land right now if you haven't.

Passengers (I) (2016)

Titanic rip-off with Jennifer Lawrence

[5/10 · 6 March 2023]

This movie Just wasn't for me and I understand that But come on A Titanic rip off and I think that it could have been done and I think that it could have been done a lot better the visuals do carry and there are some good acting performances but we gotta cover the negatives 1st it had one it had 1 of the most messy plots it was just sore it was just so boring at points I was just I was on my phone because it was that boring like It is a satisfying movie And if you've been falling on other than 2001 and Star Wars I'm not the biggest Fan Dify movies because most of them are the same now I haven't seen a lot of satisfying movies that's probably why and I might grow they might grow numb maybe how so think how so I think Chris Pat did In this movie and I don't like him as much is because of what he did to Jurassic world in park um I do like Jurassic world one but after that it was just bad Anyway the last 2 movies are saying have been Pretty middle of the line.

There's Something About Mary (1998)

Mid

[5/10 · 5 March 2023]

This movie was very very mid it wasn't for me But I did laugh at point and I think that the fact that they I think that the fact that they covered the autism stop was very good it was just not the best it's just not the best Ben still on movie for me Matt dulum was funny though Mary was good And I did like the autistic brother and that type of drop was pretty good as well but just some of the worst dialogue for me just so bad and I'm not insane whether like all of the guys like I love Mary I love Mary honey butt but again it could have been better I already saw this in another TV show call Rick and Morty and I think That persuaded why better Yeah but it was a good movie I'm not saying that It was Just Mid.

Reservoir Dogs (1992)

A little slow But great

[9/10 · 2 March 2023]

I love this movie it was entertaining it was fun it had action in head action it had eventually it had a lot and had that it had a lot and it had that you know feeling of who did it and yeah I liked it and especially that ending and especially that ending was pretty good it's not perfect but it is sure it's a great movie and at least I glad I watched it because it's up there would pretty good but like it's it's like a low it's like a high 8 It's forgot that we ought to get a real pulp fiction janger now this Browse photography is just amazing And some of the shots used in this movie were just so good um yeah um yeah so didn't get to like didn't get to like fully finish it though I had like 5 minutes left but that was just the credits.

Kindergarten Cop (1990)

A underatted 90s classic

[7/10 · 25 February 2023]

Okkkkay let's go this movie was very early 90s feel it wasn't letting go of the 80s but it was at the same time. I loved the twist of who the real villan was in the end and crisp is annoying. Some of the hunor was very funny and unike in its own way like boys have a penis and girls have a vagina. And it's not a tumor. And that line I love my car what is it with all the cool characters being obsessed with cars like: kibble, jhon wick, baby and Ferris buller. Like is that all you need to make a cool character a car. I also find this to be one of my favorite opening scenes. And I think this movie is a must watch like a nick cage movie not great but fun.

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (2022 TV Special)

Data batista is best wrestler turned actor

[7/10 · 25 February 2023]

I only hear good things about David Houston I hear hes good in the guardians the Galaxy films but hes just so good at the other walls you guys know that I didn't like a knives out to as much as others did but It was very easy to Guess who the killer was and Don't you dare say it had lies because I know it had lies but still it was just a very bland to me but I haven't seen locally the cabin yet apparently that is very good with him in it. But um I don't I do enjoy this let's movie it's it's movie it's funny it's Christmas Day it's my rewatch of it I have seen it before I have seen it before um it's just filling in light and easy it's just feeling you like an easy it's not a full length feature film so which is good.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022)

Paddington 2 is great

[8/10 · 25 February 2023]

I found this movie so fun which is what made it which is what made it good to me is that it was mixing between is that it was mixing between and enjoyable and a good movie but it's just sorry funny and it's just Nikki just doing what he does best making these movies aren't good acting you admit good acting they just good movies like good movies And they like they're not the best but Peter Pascal made this but pedro Pascal might this maybe come on we can all admit that what's your favorite movie Barrington 2 He doesn't say paddington he says it like barring them Sorry if I sound a little bit weird it's because I used the voice to text sauna after spent 5 minutes making this review and takes one minute. Overall a good movie I don't like it out went into Nikki like how he just spends so much money and just keep making movies.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)

Rip Chadwick

[8/10 · 25 February 2023]

This movie's 1st hour was very boring very boring But it couldn't have been better it simply just couldn't have any funeral time which is the reason why I watched it It did have some cool action to change which probably won't made the movie I thought this was a good movie because of 9 more and the Queen reminders performance But I think it just could have done better and the mc U is kind of dropping away but yeah it was it was it was fairly good it couldn't have been been great though it couldn't be with if that had more funeral time in this actually weren't flight 18 hour and a 1/2 I feel like this would have been a good movie like I'm not a good movie a great movie.

Django Unchained (2012)

I like the way you die boy

[10/10 · 12 February 2023]

This movie is sort of amazing I just love it from I just love it from start to finish I just studied this sorry it's very brutal butt It did have a lot of bad things and it did focus on a very bad but it's not to say that it wasn't a perfect Movie but it's to show things have changed and things there will never be like that again I hope and um and um yeah it's just another perfect performance from a perfect performance from Leonardo DiCaprio. It was a genger obviously but but all of the acting was just so phenomenal and the actions little and the action seems worth just oh my God they were perfect in every kind of way It was a perfect Movie.

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971)

The suspense is terrible hope it will last

[9/10 · 6 February 2023]

OK I started off watching this Thinking this is gonna be fine this is not gonna be the best movie I'm not I'm not saying it's the best movie ever But as sure as great in a classic I just fell in love With the characters in the story and it may be cry And laugh at and it made me feel just amazing cause this story it's just so simplistic but so meaningful in so many levels about showing levels like greed and inner showing levels like honesty I just think this is the one of the best Willie wankers yes better Johnny Depp I love Johnny Depp but it was And there were some fronting scenes in this like that aren't part where there was good acting overall great Movie.

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

A mind blowing movie

[9/10 · 5 February 2023]

2001 one a space odyssey is the rise of sc fi inspired big budget space ships like star wars and planet of the apes. I think this movie is a masterpiece visually and sound wise the story will probably take weeks and years of rewatching to fully understand what exactly is going on so on the end a absolutely beautiful movie and I think other than the dark knight has one of the best opening 20 mins. At first was confused at why I was watching monkeys fight for 20 minutes but towards the end it all kind of made sense because of the thing with the elderly man in the bed. Overall a great film ranked 1st in the series so far.

Cinderella (I) (1965 TV Movie)

The worst

[1/10 · 4 February 2023]

I don't care if you say that this movie was very good it's not welcome to another part of this Series.now let's get a move on this movie sucked it was so bad acting and the set peices we made on a 50cent budget and their wasn't good attention to detail in the film I even to make things worse I feel asleep and to bad movies I always fall asleep so that proves my point. Like stop calling this a childhood classic it's not it will never be a childhood classic it's not good it's not fun it's very very dad I literally hate this movie with a Passion I mean it's not like I am paying on Princess Mary's arrival but this one was bad.

The Pink Panther (1963)

Horrible gorilllas

[3/10 · 4 February 2023]

I mean this might be unpopular but I think that this movie was very horrible and boring I mean I almost fell asleep to the pink panther I just don't know why I hated this so much It's up their with some of the things that I was just not liking and I think that if I eventually give this movie another shot I might like it more but for know it is too boring and was a huge waste of time so yeah i know people love this I personally love the 2006 one way way better than the original and I haven't seen the pink panther returns but after this I don't think I really want to watch it yeah overall a very horrible film. Part6 comming soon.

Peter Pan (1953)

Tink I banish you for a week

[6/10 · 4 February 2023]

OK Peter Pan picked up the purple of pipers we love This moomy OK maybe not we find it OK maybe overraining a little bit but yeah it was OK Mean a lot of 50 movies are like either great or OK I mean I should my bin That's just my opinion I like to Hook the crocodile was fun It's a fairly fun adventurous comedy outcry and say I um this is a part of a serious sort of yeah stay treat um yeah I like the Peter Piper picked a pickle of peppers they said Yeah I did like Peter Pan in this movie he was a features but it was very predictable like I literally predict what was going to happen I mean a lot of Disney movies need to work on that making it a good ending not just the same ending a Renault brigade where like the person supposed to die and then mythically they come back in they define overall and OK movie.

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953)

Don't you know a man being rich is like a girl being pretty?

[6/10 · 4 February 2023]

OK let's Get started This movie is OK with some good part in It I enjoyed the musical parts I enjoyed Marilyn Monroe I enjoyed the detective Gotch other than that Did have some Some very bad plot points. And I get it might be a classic quarter of work. It's not that great it's it's it's OK um the acting was All except for the 2 main parts it was pretty bad. Though Luke was pretty funny but annoying at the same time And yeah I like this this is Real 50 vibes I like it my favorite Sane was the scene where they said diamonds was a girl Yeah I understand that melancholy was like a big actor at that toverall and I came movie with enjoyable parts.

Singin' in the Rain (1952)

I'm signing in the rain

[9/10 · 3 February 2023]

What a masterpiece of cinema this movie is it is fun it is when you wanna feel something good you what's it and you ll just feel good once you Ve knew I had a very good the story explained the characters Linda is so annoying but so funny because she's sort of she's like zoo lender And I love sugar and it so I love this you know yeah it's just fun the music pattern also sorry entertaining so you're not just sorry amazing in this film this film sets some standards like I'm gonna do this and no one is going to stop me doing it And let's not forget about the girl who stole the show the person who insulted dawn but then stole all their hearts away overall a great musical.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)

Mirror mirror on the wall who I'd the fairest of them all

[7/10 · 3 February 2023]

OK I'm very historical Historically important movie um I love it but I don't love it I mean it's it's enjoyable But come on it's not the best this part 1 of 812 part series um yeah I'm 6 happy daughter didn't have any rude depressing raments Moments but it's good I didn't say that My favorite character was snow white and I love grumpy scared rock I'm drunk I'm the character oc Surface and all the way I'm using the speech to text This is probably going to sound weird but So what I can't be bothered typing in everything but I rule a really really enjoyable movie I liked it was good I like to the norms the numbs of funny.
