Holmes & Watson (2018)
Not *That* Bad
It's entertainment. It was (intentionally) silly, stupid and slapstick. Don't expect to be moved or to walk away with some new epiphany about humanity.
En man som heter Ove (2015)
Book to Film Adaptat
I will admit that my opinion of this is severely impacted by the fact that I read this book shortly before watching the film adaptation. I absolutely loved the book. Then I watch the film and it seems like they made subtle changes to some characters, more significant changes to others, removed some parts of the book entirely and changed things around that, in my humble opinion, would have been much better left unchanged. The film failed to reach the same emotional level and love for the characters that the novel left me with. As a result, I found the film very lacking in many areas. I can only assume that those who rated this so highly did so without reading the book. So if you've not read the book, this may be a great film. If you've read it, prepare for not a small amount of disappointment.
Demon House (2019)
Horrible
A poorly made documentary that provided no empirical evidence whatsoever; everything is merely anecdotal, from people who are trying to make a dollar. I was hoping for better than this and I must conclude the same as others have before me; the 10 out of 10 reviews are quite a bit sketchy. Also, wearing sunglasses inside or at night isn't cool; it is an instant douchebag flag.
Ghost Ship (2002)
Why bother?
Again I ask, why bother? Why would the film-makers choose to spend the budget on a film like this that has been done so many times before? There was absolutely nothing original about this film: the scare tactics, if that is what you choose to call them, fell extremely short of the bullseye, the actors performed horribly (even Gabriel Byrne, God love him), the story was lacking...um, what's that word? Oh yeah, talent! I'm not going to tell you to rent it...I believe every film deserves at least a rental. However, if you want to buy it, rent it first and then you can thank me for saving you fifteen, twenty bucks.
