Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
I don't take an Oscar seriously anymore
Does Hollywood mock the general public?
Were no good movies made that year at all?
Can marketing push any kind of useless scenario down our throats?
Well, at least the reviews don't seem to rigged if I see all the people that took the time to explain what a dissappointment this movie was.
An unoriginal, therefor not bad, idea that was worked out to long in endless plottwists and long scenes.
It seems like they let a couple of teenagers without any critical advice write this movie.
A pity for the cast, because some actors did an excellent job.
But good acting can clearly not right a wrong scenario..
BAC Nord (2020)
This movie had all the ingredients to make it, but they failed to complete the dish
The movie starts great, you get thrown immediately into the raw Marseille reality, the dialect, the scenes, the characters, the acting, it's a joy to watch and you feel you're on a train that's gaining speed rapidly.
The main action scene is very well done, realistic, raw, you can almost smell the fear of the police officers through your screen.
But in the last half hour the movie lacks the quality it had in the first hour. The acting goes sour. The storyline becomes blurred and they don't even bother to explain what happens to the bad guy.
It seems that the director of the first hour either quit or got fired and was replaced by an intern. The latter is probably impossible, but the former often happens in movie projects. A pity.
Mon inconnue (2019)
One big yawn
If this movie would've aired today I would've suspected it to have been written with Chat GPT. It's just a sum of cliches mixed with some mediocre acting and bad jokes.
Watching this movie is like eating a 1 eur lasagne. It feels like its industrially produced, no quality ingredients have been used and you'll forget you ever consumed it already the next day.
The only positives I could detect were the snow allegory, a very beautiful main actress and a tiny plottwist at the end.
The people who gave it a 10 must have been paid or on a romantic high. This feels like a total waste of time for both viewers, actors and producers. A pity.
Simon Schama's Shakespeare (2012)
What was the plan here?
Simon Schama who is clearly full of himself assembles a handful of actors who re-enact a couple of scenes, some philosophical mumbling, 15 minutes of hearing Simon reciting and then filling up the rest of the time with slow motion shots from a roasting pig, some people in a pub and a chain, YES, a chain! They should have done this as a home video, but not provide this to people who want to get to know Shakespeare. 50 minutes of my life I'll never ever get back.. I'm not saying this documentary should be filled with historic facts, but this seems like a total subjective project of a man who loves to hear himself talk. Better luck next time.
