After Death (I) (2023)

AS A NEAR DEATH SURVIVOR MYSELF, THIS DOCUMENTARY WAS VERY FRUSTRATING

[3/10 · 6 March 2024]

As a near death survivor myself and this documentary synopsis stating survivors would talk about their own experiences, I watched it expecting to see a least one person telling something like what I lived in my very own experience while being in a deep coma about 3 months.

However, all survivors only gives very superficial facts totally different of what I experienced myself while in coma and no one goes deep on what really is being "there".

I'm not religious and this documentary is made for catholic people enforce their faith, nothing interesting or relevant from the survivors.

I didn't saw any "bighting light", "Jesus" or my entire life in perspective as a film when I was entering in coma, as we always heard from people in movies or media content about near death, also from the survivors in this documentary, making all sound as religious fantasy.

Mind the Gap (2004)

What wonderful movie

[8/10 · 2 July 2023]

I downloaded this movie expecting nothing more than a very regular one but it was incredible good

Looks like enormous influence by Robert Altman movies, those you can watch several times again cuz isn't boring a second and you fell yourself inside the story along the characters all the time

Takes many serious issues in a quite nice way, even the hard ones. Very touching, you fell the characters emotions

A movie you dont want to see ending, you would stay more hours on if its full length was such extent

All actress/actor perfect for their roles, even the secondary ones

cinematography and music score very great , you don't want stop music playing at final credits.

Footloose (2011)

awful remake

[2/10 · 8 May 2023]

I just can't realize why one decides do a remake of a such good movie and one who decides put money into it

Also, i can't understand why netflix chose the remake to offer instead the original one which made history at its time

I'm mad because I saw my uncle watching it and though it was the original but then Andie Macdowell appears and I didn't found her in the original cast list

How a such great actress don't appears in the cast? Of course because it isn't the right movie, it is a crap remake you watching instead

it is sad how people think that just putting 2 big stars on a movie supposedly could make it good and how 2 big starts accept being part of it.

You can't take a movie with that great cast and replace like this, no one who watched the original will tolerate watching the new.

Jealous (2017)

EXCELLENT MOVIE UNFAIRLY UNDERRATED

[7/10 · 10 September 2022]

Very interesting movie from start to end. Amazing performance by Karin Viard as a quite disturbed person which behavior sometimes can be a little difficult to bear but the evilness of her character is what this film is all about.

I became a great fan of Viard after this movie and I replayed the final talking many times to see her performing that again.

You will be mouth down frozen when final credits rolls up.

I'm waiting a psychiatrist friend watch this movie to tell me what kind of sick mind act like that, I believe it is far more than only jealousy .

Now I'm going to watch more movies with Karin Viard, she's an incredible actress.

New Order (2020)

CAN SOMEONE FROM MEXICO CLARIFY THESE QUESTIONS FOR ME?

[6/10 · 2 December 2021]

My questions have potential spoilers so be aware before go reading.

I'm from Brazil with zero knowledge about Mexican historical conflicts so I would be very grateful if someone from Mexico could help me out about some cultural points.

If one prefers to respond it in private fell free to send me by e-mail legal.cunha-gmaildotcom

• Is there any relation between the movie story and real events of Mexico history?

• Has ever happened in Mexico similar cases of mass abduction, torture and murder perpetrated by government forces despite ransom payment?

• Are the Army officials and soldiers from a different ethnic group from the ordinary citizens who need a license to work?

• If it was a people/class revolution, why very poor citizens also was under severe brutality and restrictions by those who were in power of a revolution "for the people"?

• What kind of revolutionaries "for the people" could kill a poor old man as the husband trying to get a doctor for his wife?

• Have bride's family members native Mexican roots or foreigner?

• Are the employees of the richs involved in the home assault from the same ethnic group as the Army soldiers?

Trump: The Art of the Insult (2018)

ONLY DISGUSTING ACTS WITHOUT TRUE MEANING

[4/10 · 11 December 2020]

This movie is only a lot of short scenes of Trump talking/acting very nasty changing very fast without pause or any kind of analysis by a third person, so you can only see the entire movie if you are a true Trump lover or like to see people behaving very bad by such long time (1h35m).

For me this movie only serves to prove that something was actually said/done by one person, once he's of the kind that often says he didn't said/did something that he really said/did.

A movie to delight his electoral opponents.

The State-Mafia Pact (2014)

Quite sad, but true and important.

[8/10 · 21 December 2019]

Sabina Guzzanti is an amazing journalist, actress and documentary maker.

Despite the facts portrayed in a funny narrative, the truth of it is quite sad and important.

An excellent but very disturbing documentary about how Italy had its political and government structures dominated by mafia members or people in their behalf, especially in order to create the major Italian political party "Forza Italia" and make Silvio Berlusconi elected as Prime Mister of Italy.

Also, bring to light some dark information about assassinations of the anti-mafia judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino.

Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019)

Too long for too little

[5/10 · 26 November 2019]

Too long movie for so small story. Once the very end is the only good part of the movie, it would be so much better if had only one-hour length.

If you didn't watched yet, perhaps rather start it direct from 1h30m.

Margot Robbie is one of the most beautiful actress of all times.

The Witches (1967)

Masterpieces and Silvana Mangano at her very best

[7/10 · 25 November 2019]

Silvana Mangano at her very best make it worth to see all segments, but the first one by Visconti and the last one by De Sica are real masterpieces and very superior above the rest in all aspects, specially the main roles and entire atmosphere of story, sets and photography.

Sharp Objects (2018)

BORING, SLOW, POINTLESS AND UNCLEAR

[4/10 · 25 November 2019]

I don't know why to make 8 episodes series if nothing happens until the fourth episode. Everything that happened in the first 3 could be condensed into 10 minutes and added to a pilot episode, instead of 3 very useless and boring episodes that I probably would never went through if I wasn't a big actress as Amy Adams in the role of such depressive and junk person.

Also, at the end of the story so many facts remain unclear about their reasons and way that occurred, making the whole story meaningless and unclear, especially about who actually got involved in the homicides or always knew all about in silence.

Napszállta (2018)

Boring and pointless

[4/10 · 3 November 2019]

Movie very boring with something about to happen which never happen. Why make a such extended film for a so small story?

Ruben Brandt, Collector (2018)

One of the best anime ever made

[8/10 · 11 August 2019]

Amazing movie with so beautiful graphic art, original style, every character in an unique art design and temper. Very interesting roles full of sarcasm. Quite hectic movie, never boring a minute. Astounding soundtracks and sound environment. I´ll watch this movie again very soon.

Roadhouse 66 (1984)

This s movie is great. Very underrated for who was young by the '80s

[7/10 · 10 March 2019]

I think this movie would be considered underrated for everyone who was in college or university by the '80s.

I'm from 76 so was very happy while watching this movie. Despite the simple and predictable history, the movie goes very well without became boring one single moment.

Willen Dafoe, Judge Reinhold and all others in first line are perfect for their roles.

It is very nice the '80s atmosphere of the movie about everyday life issues of people growing ages of that time, in a film almost entirely shoot at outside locations.

If you know what to expect from a '84 road movie about rivals driving supercars around the city and racing on route 66, you must watch this one.

And if you really enjoyed this movie, I strongly suggest you must watch another one very alike: "Roadie" (1980), with Meat Loaf in main role (IMDB tt0081433).

Dr. T & the Women (2000)

If you like Altman, you definitely have to see this.

[8/10 · 16 September 2018]

As a truly fan is very sad to see an Altman movie rated so low, people giving 4 .6 surely haven't no idea at all about what is expected from one Altman's film. This movie is an authentic one, if you are not familiar with his works I would suggest that you rather first watch "The Player (1992)" and "Short Cuts (1993)" and only then come to this another one very alike and great movie, in a way that it should and actually happen to be. In the documentary "Altman (2014)" one of his widow states that he liked to shoot movies most far as possible from studio walls to avoid have to work with producers in suits at his shoulder and "The Player" became perfect chance to his personal revenge about all things that he always hated from Hollywood, then you hear voices from an interview cut asking him "is The Player your revenge against Hollywood?" so the answer "No, it's a very, very mild indictment. Things aren't really like that, they're much worse". Seeing Dr. T I was sure that it looks like as another personal revenge but this time against that sort of meaningless, pathetic and ridiculous sort of people society living totally aside of normal person's real world/life, ironically surrounded by another different kind of smart people having to bear and deal with the idiots. So, if you like Altman, you definitely have to see this.

Beast (III) (2017)

A very serious good movie. Liked of "Der freie Wille" (2006)? You can't miss this one.

[8/10 · 22 August 2018]

Wow! What powerful roles of the crazy couple very well performed by Buckley and Flynn, both all the time with a such anxious facial expression of disturbed persons that makes you uncomfortable.

Very deep in hard feelings about family, love, anger, frustration and mutual understanding as well. If you already seen and liked of Matthias Glasner's "Der freie Wille" (2006), you can't miss this one.

Loving Pablo (2017)

Looks like a very bad remake from Narcos

[4/10 · 28 June 2018]

For whom already watched Narcos serie this movie will be very boring, just a quite bad remake of that great one. How can Penelope and Bardem make part of this sort...
