Civil War (2024)
10/10
Wow
24 May 2024
I just watched an absolute masterpiece, and I can confidently say it's probably the best film I've seen in years. The cast delivered stellar performances, bringing depth and authenticity to their characters. The director's vision was flawlessly executed, creating a compelling and immersive story. The cinematography was breathtaking, with each shot beautifully framed and lit. The Director of Photography (DP) did an outstanding job. Post-production work was top-notch, featuring seamless editing, exceptional sound design, and stunning visual effects. Everything about this film was simply perfect, making it an unforgettable cinematic experience. I highly recommend it!

Ruthless (2023)
8/10
It's so " bad " it's good 😊 give it a try
7 May 2024
This film reminds me the olden days action movies . Simple story , just a guy don't give a fxxx .... Goes about taking care of business , breaking limbs like it's nobody's business . Cliche on cliche.... Glazed with some more cliche ... costume design is outrageous ... made me giggle a lot especially the detective guy . When I saw those sunglasses I was done ... had to pause the film cos I was rolling on the floor laughing hysterically. No jokes .

Not sure if it' was intentional but acting appears to be Improvised . Production doesn't look super low budget but it probably was shoestring .

I could really list tons of negatives , because the list is long but I don't want The film to suffer . After all I enjoyed this flick quite a bit .

Alone (V) (2020)
7/10
Got potential
23 December 2021
The first half of the story is fairly slow and super predictable but the second half is much better and the last 30 mins are pretty gnarly ... loved the ending . Great camera Work and sound .

I wouldn't recommend to buy it but it's Totally worth a watch it if you see it on tv or Netflix or something similar.

The Stand (2020–2021)
6/10
It's ok
18 December 2021
I have read the book 4 times over the years and of course I love it and naturally the tv show doesn't come close but we all know that it's kind of impossible to give back the full book experience as it's different for everyone . The show is not bad , it's just not really the stand . The creators took some liberties altering the story but , watering it down but it's not bad . Not that bad . Not sure who is the real target audience is here . If they went for the king fans then they missed as obvious we will be somewhat disappointed. On the other hand if they went for the non readers then I don't think I'd that good either . It's just not a hit , but it's ok . The cast is pretty decent. The dude plays Harold is pretty good. Obviously we all imagine a different cast in our head when reading but it's ok . The cast did ok I think . They spent a fair bit of money making this show . Good camera work etc it's just ... basically the cliff notes of the book , the elevator pitch . Even the audiobook very is like 40 hours and they kind of tried to boil it it down to a minimum . Still worth a watch tho , just don't go in expecting the book . Not even the same story . But it's ok.

Spiral (2021)
2/10
Baaaaaaad .. acting 😂
4 December 2021
Omg ! Awful awful acting ... except for Max everyone else is way over the top . If you can get over the bad acting then it's not that horrible I guess . I have to say that i am happy that I didn't buy it when it came out.

Zac is a pretty great Bundy ...
16 November 2021
At first I was very disappointed mainly because the PG style . I read all the Bundy books in existence and saw all the interviews and videos with Bundy and Zac totally nailed the character event the well known interviews Zacs eye movement perfectly matched Bundys . Got that psychopath vibe . Perfect cast in my opinion . The film is all in all well made , lovely colour Grading and overall production design . My main problem is that I expected it to be a thriller / horror not a Disney flick . They could have let Zac go wild and include some crimes . I wish there was an " unrated directors cut" with all the dark stuff . Without that the film is just incomplete .

I dont hate it tho it's just not what you would expect .
