Aquaman (2018)

Where is the creativity?

[4/10 · 6 January 2019]

Wow... Again I got it wrong with another superhero movie that was trending and got good reviews.

I'm tired of the same two sides story that works for our bipolar brains. Bad vs good... Especially when the movie is 2h20min long... Seriously?

SPOILER ALERT... The good wins at the end!

Visually it is quite impressive even though I'm struggling to validate the concept of humans swimming and speaking under water, I didn't find the acting very convincing nor the script. Action/fight scenes are really good tho.

I'm gonna pause superhero movie for a solid year I think. You should do to.

Catching Feelings (2017)

A must watch!

I had the chance to watch this movie with the director himself. A really great movie that takes place in the nice spots of Jozi & Cape Town. It's absolutely great to see Johannesburg city differently in this movie. It's (too) often associated to violence, safety, robbery etc. Couple relation is the main topic of this movie. The way it is approached with great sensibility and humor is a real pleasure to watch.

I highly recommend this movie on a cold sunday of winter with a hot chocolate and your loved one :-)

Thanks a lot!
