The Bastard Son & the Devil Himself (2022)
Stilted performance of the main protagonist
Liked the story the premise and direction. Nothing really new but interesting enough with enough allegory and meta reference to laugh at itself.
However the wooden performance of the main protagonist(Jay) and his bae really killed it in terms of the overall feel. It felt like I bit into something wonderful but their stilted acting and delivery made it have a bitter center that just obliterated any good feelings I had towards the show. I did like Jessica's and Soul's script and mood as it made her/him truly despicable throughout/in the later half of the viewing.
Probably annulled by nutflix due to it being very similar to actual british history or probably Jay's acting.
Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)
why is this children's movie biased?
Sadly this is the reason that we have to have different conversations about children's movies enforcing and cementing biased views of the world. Shame on James F. for forwarding this drivel.
Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)
Made less sense than Covfefe
Unconnectedd story line with just a mash of action for the sake of making a movie
Ronny Chieng: Asian Comedian Destroys America (2019)
Why do you suck so much la
Ronny, terrible material. Please put a little more effort to try to be funny. Malaysian's are getting a bad image of being lazy and unfunny.
Imperium (2016)
Retrospection of peoples supremacists hackles raised
This is mainly a rebuttal of all those people whose automatic hackles got raised for no reason other than this portrayed a reality that they do not want to admit to. I would suggest that they do some research behind the person who actually wrote the script to this movie (Michael German), who has a first hand account of the actual events as it unfolded. Several of the comments that took offense to the movie should go back and try to see the background behind this to assess its veracity.
As for the actual movie in term of script and acting My actual rating is 7. Yes it fall short in terms of continuity and tight script scope but "dissing" it due to the fact that you are unconformable with the reality based fact falls squarely one your insecure shoulders and should not be the basis of rating the movie
Holy Hell (2016)
Wow do these people deserve their fate or what
I am giving it a 10 based on honesty. I think each of the disciples deserve their fate as they architected it based on their own hubris and arrogance of their own looks. If you want to know how to take advantage of a set of models or good looking people then this is definitely very instructional in how to do so (aka use your own hubris to exploit yourself). Kudos to Michel, what a superb act to convince arrogant morons to follow you as god and have coital relationship with you for >10 years. This only works in people influenced by LA culture who only have themselves to blame for their situation. Thank you Michel for dropping everyone's mind and showing them the way of the Gita.
spoiler: All of the people who eventually complain and fall out should honestly evaluate why they stuck there for 22 years or more. Clearly you though that your 'club of good looking people" made you "special" and your need to fornicate with all the people around you allowed yourself to be abused (well deserved)
After the Dark (2013)
Awful in all ways
This is just an awful and patronizing movie. I hope John Huddles has a more favorable view of his viewers acuity rather than this utter nonsense he dishes out. He obviously did not do any research when making the script. Either that or he has a rather limited ken regarding life and philosophy. Each of the characters were either prats or cloyingly wooden. I could see no reason to base the whole scenario in Thailand.
I am surprised that it got allowed to be premiered in some film festival. I am surprised as to how low a bar these film fests have. Wanted to shoot myself like one of the characters in the film. Could barely sit thorough half of the movie.
Transformers (2007)
yes this is a kids movie and if you don't; think so U better get your IQ tested
Why does Hollywood constantly dish out garbage like this expecting the American populace to be utter morons,or do they know something I don't. Why does it try to be a pretentious unrealistic simian. Australian hot chick hacker who says US is my country!!?? wha?? please.. maybe they need to get a snapshot of Caltech or MIT's EE department. For once I would like to see a movie which sticks close to reality in terms of things we can identify with. I have no problems with transforming robots but showing cheap technical mumbo jumbo like oh lets just put this disk and voilà it contains messages. Easy..
Caution: Please detach brain from body before watching.
The Prestige (2006)
Mostly disappointing......
This had a lot of potential and the same tricks as batman begins. The dreary landscapes and overt use of dull colors to make to movie more sombre than it actually is. If I didn't know better I would guess that Nolan had a gay affair with Christian bale. Bale needs to overcome his lisp( speech impediment) and his 1 dimensional acting. The plot is predictable and sometimes you are tricked to think that there could be more than the obvious, but that feeling is ephemeral. British accents are laughable and the premise of Tesla inventing duplicating machines is an challenging ones intelligence. The Nolans need to ease up on the toke and think of something less inane. I'm afraid that the people who were awed by this insipid movie need to increase their cognitive capabilities.
Excalibur (1981)
Unusual spiel
Reading the superlative reviews I decided to give this medieval classic a try. In the beginning I was flummoxed with the acting and stilted one-liners. As the movie progressed I didn't know whether to laugh or take the movie seriously. In the end I decided to watch it like a spoof of Monty Pythons--...Grail..... Some of the characters do resemble them ( well heck!! with the armor on everyone looks alike). Watch it from that angle and its almost funny. else shun it like a leech. The battle scenes are pathetic people die on being touched by anything without any entry of the weapon. I guess Boorman thought that during those days people died of shock of a weapon touching their armor and not of the actual entry of the sword. Merlin is amazingly cheesy ( and he has the best lines) what a pity and waste.
Do not be swayed by the obvious adulation as these reviewers have low standards.
Batman Begins (2005)
Entertaining but poor dialogue delivery
I found this the most entertaining of the non animated batman series. Primarily due to the fact that the script humanizes the protagonist more than the previous ones. Also some of the situations that he has to face seems plausible and thus more real. They do however have some serious reality flaws that can be easily overlooked in lieu for the entertainment factor. I was disappointed with Katie Holmes dialogue delivery. She always looks like a petulant novice who cannot deliver a single sentence without batting her eyelids several times. Also Bale talks like a wasp bit him on his tongue while in his role as Bruce. But when he is bat man he talks like he has a severe case of constipation.
All in all this is an entertaining movie sans the bugbears
Kuch Naa Kaho (2003)
Despicable acting from both the hero and heroine
Jesus Christ!! what a rotten movie. Of course I started watching it not expecting more than a predictably bad movie(aren't most bollywood movies, nowadays?!?). But this surpassed all my expectations. Come on Abhishek I know your dad is famous but that should not be the only reason for being in the movies. When they put you in front of a camera you are expected to emote not regurgitate your stupid lines with a dumb struck face.
Admittedly Ash is no better but at least she is divinely beautiful that we can completely forgive all her transgressions. The same unfortunately cannot be said about Aby B as he seems to have inherited all the wrong genes from his progenitors.
The script is horrible and apart from Satish Shah the acting was horribly cruel to the people watching. Some bearable songs(note: I have stretched my definition of bearable for this case).
rating: -*(minus should be allowed.. as I would like my money back and some, for the torture doled out to me)
Run far away or watch Glitter/Gigli instead, unless you are an Ash fan or an Abhishek B fan (god have mercy on your sense of preference)
Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)
A bit of a disappointment
Maybe I'm getting inured to the hype of StarWars or maybe the quality is really deteriorating, which ever the case maybe, this particular episode of the saga was a bit of a downer. Yes it has all the glitzy animated creatures/ machines blah blah. But this series was supposed to concentrate on bringing up the characters of Anakin, Padme and to throw light on the reign of the dark side. I totally disagree with the choice of Hayden as Anakin(yes he's supposed to be one of the better looking people as per some magazine) but that still does not upgrade his acting skill which I found wooden and a bit trite. His accent also threw me off as it stilted his line delivery. But then again I did notice a rather racial bias against people of other countries(all the bad characters had accents that we obviously can associate with certain non-american people). All good-white, all bad-asian, south american. However I seem to be rambling on... anyway the initial action scene was a hackneyed scene and didn't impress me at all (too much attention was paid to this scene) and then the action thing just died down, It seemed that Lucas ran out of ideas after this and just put together one hackneyed scene after another. However this does bring all the pieces together of the starwars saga. A one-time watch for me unlike the other starwars episodes...
