Implanted (2021)
it drags but it's good
A conversation that i keep having with friends, the future of invasive AI technology is scary, is not all going to be good and positive, something that has total control and that keeps learning new things on its own, won't always do good.
On that note,
i thought the acting was good, she carried the movie well on her own, it is kinda slow, even though a bit of speed could've added to the time crunch in her
mission.
The gritty look and feel of the film was great!
Very slow paced, by what seemed be the end, it felt like "too long and a half", i kept wanting to check the time, (that trip to Paris could've been cut in half),
because it was an expected ending.
Also, at the beginning she says "i'm an optimist", well, she looks like everything but an optimist.
The Pass (2023)
yay! Drew!
If it wasn't for Drew Sidora, this would've been another very bad attempt at a movie, she was charming, vulnerable and i was believing her story, now all the other actors, terrible!
At times it felt like a housewives spinoff, even Shamea made it in.
And definitely the judge is related to Kandi, she looks like Mama Joyce.
It's a great attempt for Todd, as his first film, but next time get a better production artist and art director, some of the camera shots felt too flat like the camera was just recording whatever on a stand, for example, the scene of Drew & her husband at the dining table, the vases at the center of the table take too much space, and it's very distracting, the camera was too close.
Kandi's acting was not the best here, it was like she was playing herself and was a bit bored, (kinda like in housewives).
But overall, for a first film it's a success, and good thing that at the end everything is explained, because i spent most of the time wondering what happened, how the partner switched and i kept waiting for a backtrack, there should've been a little bit of how Drew ended up w/ her that first time.
Master Gardener (2022)
waste of time!
No one wanted to be in this movie, Not even the garden!
Reformed nazi tends a lackluster garden.
So much anticipation created at the beginning with the description & classification of gardens just to show the same type of plants you'll find at home depot or your local grocery store, at least make an effort and buy special plants to make an interesting garden, the word is in the movie title!, and it's the less interesting part of the movie!
Really?!
The "tension" is not tense enough, is also lazy, a forced situation that leads nowhere.
I expected something to happen, nothing does.
At least i didn't pay to watch this crap!
The Consultant (2023)
Christoph Waltz, heck yeahh!!!
Just the fact that it's Christoph Waltz, of course i was going to watch and enjoy it, because he is incredible!!!..
i came to check the reviews and why it only has 3 stars on prime,
this is way more than that!
It might seem like a deep story, you don't know exactly what's happening, and the first episode has a great hook, but it's not that deep, and quite enjoyable!
I loved the idea, and at the end you get it, you can go off on a tangent and think it's kinda lame, but stick it out, it's worth it.
It made me think of needful things a lot, (don't know if this might be a spoiler, so i' marking it as yes),
the way that people can get into your mind and make you do everything you would never.
