Mindhunter (2017)

sequence killers

30 October 2017 - 0 out of 4 users found this review helpful.

Sometimes you watch a show, just to check it out and see what it's about and discover all these great things about it. I came across Mindhunter, a friend recommended it to me, he suggested I gave it a try and so I did, and I have to say this is some of the most amazing things I've seen. It's not just a show it's an episodic movie, placed in many chapters and sequences with very intricate character development and incredibly well acted, well produced and well written. The biographical elements are woven into it's rich fictional plot and made to seem as accurate as possible. The way the serial killers' minds work, the whole show is about that basically, it's a personification of these "sequence killers" as it was known back then, it's brilliant, kitschy and very very intense. David Fincher really created a masterpiece here and this is practically an addition to the plethora of reasons why 21st century Fincher is a tier ahead of the 20th century Fincher, he's exploring different mediums and that is a really good way to tell more stories in different ways with very well developed cores and characters with as much experimentation that he can do with his limited script.

Tôkyô monogatari (1953)

Less is more

8 September 2017

If there were ever a film to define the phrase "Less is more" it would be Tokyo Story. It's so simple yet I find it unbelievably compelling and moving. This is mainly thanks to the nuances of the cast that portray so much emotion. For example, Chishu Ryu's subtle performance conveys everything. In a scene where he is plainly nodding, deep down inside you can feel all the sadness and pain he is feeling and it hits you hard. Ozu also never makes the film feel overly sentimental with earned emotional moments and explores the human condition so beautifully. A true masterpiece of cinema.

Perfetti sconosciuti (2016)

Underrated

13 August 2017

Good movie and everybody has to watch it because it is a story and a lesson showing us that phones started to be our life that little box can be a source of pain and problems and instead of focusing on our lives and live it fully we waste our time on stupid things leaving behind things that matter

Steve Jobs (2015)

We will know soon enough if you are Leonardo da Vinci or just think you are.

12 February 2017 - 2 out of 2 users found this review helpful.

The best part of Danny Boyle's biopic is the whip smart dialogue one would already expect from screenplay maestro Aaron Sorkin and the solid performances from Michael Fassbender, Seth Rogen, Kate Winslet and Jeff Daniels. This is strongly supported by a fantastic musical soundtrack from Daniel Pemberton. Where the film falls down (in my opinion), is in its structure. It has 3 segments: 1984 with the first release of the Mac, 1986 after the controversial firing of Jobs from his own company and his release of the NEXT computer and culminates in 1997 with his rise back to the top and release of the new IMac. Overall, The film didn't truly cover any new ground and left me still wanting to know so much more about what made the man tick. An entertaining and well made film for sure just not the masterpiece it could have been.

The Martian (2015)

In Space no One Can Hear You Scream

12 February 2017 - 2 out of 3 users found this review helpful.

This movie is a triumph on almost every level; script, acting, directing, cinematography and special effects are all top notch. It's one of Ridley Scott's best films in years as well as a career high performance from Matt Damon who commands the screen and bring so much charisma and a surprising amount of humor to his character. The story revolves around an astronaut being stuck on Mars and having to fight to stay alive while NASA works to bring him home. The 2 1/2 hour running time goes by almost too fast as the film is full of scenes of intensity, thrills but most of all plenty of laughs. It's an all round crowd pleaser the whole family should enjoy.

The Walk (2015)

Man on Wire

12 February 2017

I'm a huge fan of Joseph Gordon Levitt as well as James Marshes 2008 Oscar winning documentary "Man on Wire" from which this film adaption is based on, so I was excited for this movie when I first heard about it. The final product does not disappoint. Many people have complained about JGLs French accent but he actually nails it and depicts the films protagonist Philip Petit perfectly. The real star of the film however is the amazing special effects and how well the World Trade Center is brought to life--it's almost bittersweet. The film is a true story of a high-wire walker who illegally broke into the two towers in 1974 and walked across them both on only a tight rope with no harness. The final 8 minute sequence of the act itself is worth the ticket price alone and is absolutely mesmerizing. Be warned that this is not for the squeamish for anyone with a fear of heights! For this reason, I avoided seeing the movie in 3D. The pacing is slow at times but overall the sorry is a remarkable one and the way it is shot is beautiful.

Deadpool (2016)

badass , smartass , greatass.

12 February 2017 - 1 out of 4 users found this review helpful.

Finally, an adult superhero movie totally worthy of it's hard R rating! Ryan Reynolds is pitch perfect as the titular antihero with non-stop wise cracks and a potty mouth. He more than carries the film which is very, very funny. Tim Millers direction and the action sequences are equally hyper violent and thrilling as well as the supporting cast, which is solid too. But again, this is Reynolds movie all the way and he more than makes up for the train wreck that was Green Lantern back in 2011. So yeah, Deadpool is pretty great. It's not perfect, but this unconventional superhero love story works on almost every level, and if you're in the mood for a good time, I'd suggest giving Deadpool a try.

The Good Dinosaur (2015)

Good movie. It may not rank up against the best of Pixar but it sure is great

12 February 2017

Pixar and Disney's latest is an animated adventure based on the premise that 65 million years ago dinosaurs never went extinct and are more advanced than the human race. When a rainstorm washes poor Arlo (Raymond Ochoa) downriver, he ends up bruised, battered and miles away from home. Good fortune shines on the frightened dinosaur when he meets Spot (Jack Bright), a Neanderthal boy who offers his help and friendship. Together, the unlikely duo embark on an epic adventure to reunite Arlo with his beloved family. The photo realistic landscapes are breathtaking and the film has real heart and a few scary moments young children might find a bit too much. It's a great family film and definitely recommended.

Creed (2015)

"Time gets everyone in the end; it's unbeatable."

12 February 2017 - 0 out of 1 users found this review helpful.

Ryan Coogler directs a fantastic spin off to the Rocky franchise that more than stands on its own. Michael B Jordan is sensational as the son of Apollo Creed who yearns to make a name for himself in the world of boxing. He searches out his fathers best friend and former rival Rocky Balboa to train him who is once again played by Sylvester Stallone in his 7th portrayal of the iconic character. Stallone gives his best performance in years bringing a real sense of emotion and tenderness and is now getting a lot of well deserved Oscar buzz. The fight sequences are also a wonder in themselves with exceptional cinematography that makes you feel like you're right in the ring with them. This is a true crowd pleaser and not only a reboot but a rebirth of the boxing film franchise. I wouldn't be surprised at all if we see CREED 2 rolling up in a year or so and it will be more than welcome. Highly recommended.

Spectre (2015)

Well I loved it.

12 February 2017 - 1 out of 3 users found this review helpful.

Spectre is the 24th bond film and Daniel Craig's 4th turn as James Bond. It took me some time to get used to his rugged turn as 007 but I was won over after the superlative Skyfall. This film is quite uneven in its plot and dialogue yet still satisfies. The plot revolves around a cryptic message from the past that sends James Bond on a rogue mission to Mexico City and eventually Rome, where he meets Lucia Sciarra (Monica Bellucci, who at 51 is the oldest and undeniably one of the most beautiful Bond girls) the widow of an infamous criminal. Bond infiltrates a secret meeting and uncovers the existence of the sinister organization known as Spectre. Meanwhile, back in London, Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott), the new head of the Centre for National Security, questions Bond's actions and challenges the relevance of MI6, led by M (Ralph Fiennes). Bond covertly enlists Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) and Q (Ben Whishaw) to help him seek out Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux), the daughter of his old nemesis Mr White (Jesper Christensen), who may hold the clue to untangling the web of Spectre. As the daughter of an assassin, she understands Bond in a way most others cannot. As Bond ventures towards the heart of Spectre, he learns of a chilling connection between himself and the enemy he seeks, played by Christoph Waltz. The action sequences are thrilling and Dave Bautista gives a solid supporting turn as a menacing assassin called Hinx. The third act of the film is borderline ridiculous yet solid entertainment none the less that it should satisfy any Bond fan and serves as a superior action movie.
