Little Fires Everywhere (2020)
I want to set this whole serie on fire
What the f... is up with Mia?? Angry-alllll-theeee-freeeeeaking-tiiiiime. She's pretentious, jealous, hatefull and an exceptionally unlikeable person youny ánd old. She is Super B*tch of the black hole. Special powers you ask? Well, sucking every energy out everything and everyone including herself. It's exhaaaausting, annoying, depressing and hard to watch.
And then Bebe. Gaaaaawd. Womaaan. Crying like a river because she wants her baby back, who she has dumped in the freezing cold by the way, because she was afraid to be sent back to China and never see her baby again? Whaahaaat?! That doesn't make any freaking sense! Because when your baby is dead (which chance increases if you leave her in the cold), you will make sure you will never see her again. She "looked and looked and looked". That's also BS, because child services looked for months(!) and found nothing.
There's only one explanation for this. These people are crazy. Absolutely totally bonkers. Yep. They seriously need to get a grip on their life or die already and leave the world alone. Pfffffftt. As you can imagine, I didn't like the serie. I don't recommend it, because it made me feel flabbergasted, frustrated and a little bit more rascist.
Cursed (2020)
I actually like it
Reading all those negative reviews made me want to say something positive. It's very simple: I like it. It's not perfect, but it entertains me. And that's that. Good day!
Colossal (2016)
Unlikeable characters, dumb story
The title says it all. They are just soooo unlikeable and uninteresting. And the acting is sometimes bad (over the top and fake). I did watched it till the end, but it was hard. I don't see the deeper story line. Is it literally about destruction and construction... and the epic battle between them? Aaaaghh I don't know, I don't care. It sucked.
Trouble (2019)
It's okay
Straightforward simplistic story with the standard (dog movie) flow. Sometimes funny. Sometimes forced funny. The movie could have been shorter. And I personally thought the dance of the squirrels was awkward because it made me think of Michael Jackson... while watching a movie for children... But all in all okay. I think most children will enjoy it.
Ad Astra (2019)
Difficult movie that made me think
SPOILERS ahead.
Side note: This is my interpretation. It doesn't have to be THE interpretation.
The movie is about loneliness and imo going too far as a human race. The latter is being showed in the movie with the bigass atenna, the experimenting on the monkey, his father and the antimatter rays that could destroy our solarsystem and are actually caused by humans, the "we (humans) are worldeaters" part and that is (again) all about resources (the war on the moon). Instead of looking at the stars (ad astra) we should be looking at our own beautiful world. It (the movie and Roy) has a dark view on humanity.
It's all brought to a micro level with Roy and his father. Roy is obviously lonely (hence the girlfriend (Liv Tyler) that shows up from time to time) and his emotions are flat, very, very flat. I would say he is depressed.
His father is also lonely. He went too far and lost himself. He was looking for alien life at any cost. But in the end Roy learns from the data his father gathered he didn't found a planet with life. At that moment Roy also says that life was right under his (his fathers) nose all along. By which he means: his family which he abandoned. His father was so immersed in his project (looking at he stars / going too far) that he lost sight of what life is really about (love, family, caring).
So Roy returns with the data and being a lot wiser (facing his dad made him wake up). Instead of loneliness, he chooses to make amends with his former girlfriend (the end).
So instead of looking for life in deep space we'd better look at ourselfs, the ones we care about and the world we live on (macro lvl). You/we can't run away from (y)ourself. You/we have to face to what is here at this moment (maybe a link to the destructive force humans have on planet earth and possible other planets (for example depletion of rescourses?).
The monkey also represented imo the going too far part. That ship clearly experimented on animals. And that went terribly wrong. The monkey was pure rage. Did we go too far? Where does it end?
Anyways, it's a difficult and dark movie. Maybe pretentious for some. It has a dark layer that probably most people don't want to hear if it is shown and said directly. That would be too invasive and easy. It is in hiding. You have to figure out for yourself as always to actually be convinced by something. And that's the journey Roy unintentionally takes.
So yes, I liked it. I probably will watch it again to see if above interpretation still stands.
Venom (2018)
Fun to watch, not perfect
I liked it. Not perfect no. The story didn't always make sense but overall it was fun. For me Tom Hardy and his flawed character venom (in contrast to perfect spideyman) made the movie. In the beginning Eddie was unlikeable, but with venom they were a perfect couple. Riz Ahmed (sooper evil guy) did some annoying hardcore overacting (what's up with that?). And Michelle Williams? Ah yes, well I guess I can tolerate her.
Another Life: Across the Universe (2019)
Nope, just nope
Couldn't continue watching after the first episode. It just wasn't thought through. Just too many questions. An important mission with this team with such unlikeable characters? How? Why? Did who ever send them form a team so incompetent? Did they matched their skills and personalities? Did the team know eachother beforehand? Did they train together before send into oblivion for an important space mission? Truly, I'm amazed at how stupid this is.
Nope, not for me.
