FX's American Horror Story: Cult After-Show (2017)
The best season
For a lot of people this season was the worst, but please just watch the rates ... people rates the season four as one of the best when it was one of the worst. Probably wrote by teenagers that usually watch shows like Riverdale, teenwolf etc.
True cinephiles knows that the second one and the seventh is the best, especially the seven. It's a true masterpiece in this series and the only one with the second that I could watch entirely. Actor's are at their top. Sarah Paulson is captivating and Evan Peter burst the screen on every scenes he plays. So much that he is hateful and detestable.
The storyline and plot twist are really good, nothing compared to the others seasons.
Go watch it if you truly love cinema, avoid it if you usually like horrible show like teenwolf, Riverdale etc..
Spree (2020)
Distracting..
This movie was fun and distracting, it's not the biggest movie of all time of course as you can see from my rating but sometimes is good to just let your brain on off. It has a true potential tho and it was messed up by to many multi screen, spoiled by social media comment, lot of informations to process and way too fast but I guess is just how social media is now and they tried to really put you on the mindset of a crazy follower like:
you are watching a live by also watching what's going on on other peoples live that Kurt is encounting because you are a gossip addict etc..
if it was the purpose then it's really well done.
The movie is really not bad if you just want to realease the pressure of the day and enjoying your night at home but it's not an incredible masterpiece even if it's well thinked. My only advice it's: give it a try if you have nothing to watch.
Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
The title resume everything
The movie title literary resume everything, both in it form and content.
Everything everywhere all at once will be an iconic movie for this generation just like the graduate was for the older one.
First, It carry important messages, such as depression, the meaning of the life we live in etc.. it really hit late millennials and early gen z. In a world where everything fall apart it's hard to take place and find goals that make sense, it's hard for us to leave a print where everything and anything has already been made. (up to you to interpret the others) also it's the best meaning of "it's bad to be bad" because it said that if nothing matter, nothing count then why lost your time to be something else than being good?, It's not naive to be optimistic, it's vital and strategic.
The movie in is absurdity is incredibly well because the absurdity make sense and it's important for the story, that's why it works and also because there is no side character to remind us that it's not normal. This is the key to make absurdity work. This comics scenes was also taken really seriously during the shooting of this film and was meticulously thinked, exactly like a "normal" one they wasn't acting like "it's funny and absurd so it's okay if it's a mess".
The actors choice is perfect, sound design, perfect. And I would like to salute the video montage team because it must have been hard to build up this movie but they did it extremely well.
Im sorry if my critics hits all topics quite randomly but it's hard to give a correctly build advice when this movie put your mind in everything everywhere all at once...
The Last of Us (2023)
Extremly loyal to the video game, maybe a bit too much
The show and actors are really great and Every shots are extremly similar to the video game, maybe a bit too much.... Fan's are asking a copy cat of the story not especially a copy of the artistic direction. I would have like to see more of the director own artistic touches. Especially for some shots. The Last of us gave a lot of possibilities in it's scenery so why not give it a taste as long as the story get along. I would like to salute Bella's performance on Ellie character, they are better than the real one. They are so true on their acting it's insane like it's their real self. You can definitely watch this show without being disapointed if you are a fan of the video games.
Midsommar (2019)
Beautiful movie
This movie is disturbing but so good. Like requiem for a dream, it's the kind of movie you will probably watch only once but it will stay in your mind forever. Every shots is perfect and meticulously choose, the montage is really great with perfect transition, the color grading is awesome, sound design was also well done and the main actress is full of emotion. Midsommar is a visual piece of art that will shocked you and make you questionning toxicity in a relationship and how even small things that's seems not that relevent for you can deeply affect your partner... But dont get me wrong, there is so much more behind this story, between racism, feminism, odinism... there is a lot of hidden messages. Marvellous and disturbing, light and Dark makes one. On this movie you will follow Danny on a very special healing journey that you can interprete in your own way.
The Walking Dead (2010)
I really tried...
I tried to watch first when the show came out...
Didn't make it to episode 3
I tried again when everyone was into it and told me to watch...
Didn't make it to episode 3
I tried again in 2022
Still didn't make it to episode 3
The zombies are what I liked to call « theater zombies » they only start to do things when it's the right time, they even accelerate the walk cadence when the camera is on them and other crazy stuff.
Some random zoom sometimes you don't even know why.
The principal actor??? Someone definitely pull some strings for him. His performance is even under the level of Marion Cotillard death in Batman.
Ojing-eo geim (2021)
Nothing THAT new
Nothing new about this show, it's like a battle royal/Alice in borderland mixed, the scenario and plot look like the yesterday food that I microwaved. But the artistic direction bring a fresh touch to this type of show that is often really dark toned. The plot twist need more worked for next seasons. It was way too easy to guess what will happen every next scenes.
The idea was good, we like this kind of stuff but it need more work on the scenario and more personal touch to not be compared by the other movies and tv show from the same category.
Actors are average
Only watch it if you want to eat the pasta you cooked yesterday.
