Absolute rubbish

[4/10 · 25 September 2022]

What a boring, awful film! I can't believe King wrote this. It has to be his worst short story ever. Still wondering why they decide to make a film out of it? It's a really pain to watch. I usually enjoy King stories and films. Not this one.

Cusack delivers an awful performance, so so weak. Can't believe there are reviews here praising his acting!

All in all, absolute shambles, do not waste your time with this piece of utterly rubbish which does not make sense at all.

I wish I could have my two hours back. This film has put me off watching any other film where this horrible so called actor plays any role.

Like Cattle Towards Glow (2015)

What was that I have just seen?

[2/10 · 25 July 2022]

One word: ridiculous. What a waste of time. Those writers have to be really messed up in the head to come with some stories like those in this "film".

Really disturbing to think someone thought they were good enough to be part of a film. Just avoid at all cost.

Only Mine (2019 TV Movie)

Probably the two worst lead actors I've seen in a long time

[1/10 · 17 June 2022]

Oh my God, where did they get those two lead "actors"? The acting is soooo bad, especially from her, it really hurts to see her trying to convivence you she's scared or upset or angry. She needs to take urgently some acting classes. The story, we have seen all before, nothing new. Just skip this one.

Battle of Warsaw 1920 (2011)

What a mess

[3/10 · 6 March 2022]

Slow, boring, predictable, messy, long. It was a great subject to have made a much interesting and historic film than this shamble where we have singing, dancing, humour, war, terrible acting, all in one.

Don't waste your time....

The Vanished (2020)

The acting from the leads ruined the film

[4/10 · 23 October 2021]

What a horrible acting from Anne Heche but specially from her husband....wow, terribly awful...makes the film not credible at all.

The overall story is good, however, if you go into details, so many things just don't make any sense. Just stick to Prisoners or Changeling if you want to watch some good child abduction thrillers. Skip this one.

4/10.

Deliver Us from Evil (I) (2014)

Eric Bana in one of his poorest performances

[4/10 · 30 September 2021]

I don't consider Eric Bana a good actor at all, he's just average usually, but God help us here...easily the poorest acting by him I've seen. So overacted that looked amateur. Not impressed.

Film is bad too.

Haunted: Latin America (2021– )

Crap

[3/10 · 15 April 2021]

Although Netflix starts the episodes with "this is a real story", I don't believe for a second that any of the 5 episodes that make this series are anything close to something based on true events. The problem is not that, the problem is although made up, they are rubbish haha.

Child's Play (2019)

Couldn't even finish it

[1/10 · 3 September 2020]

What a horrible piece of s***. Please, don't waste your time. Just watch the 1988 one. There was no need for this. I just don't get why they keep messing with classics films that should be left alone. Acting, directing, screenplay, score is all 1/10. Disgusting.

Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)

I blame the author

[3/10 · 3 July 2020]

On of the worst Hollywood films ever made. But the book is even worst than the film, so you can't expect a good movie when is based in absolute rubbish. Acting is very poor, but then again the script is sh**. Don't waste your time.

Larry Crowne (2011)

Fine example...

[3/10 · 21 November 2019]

This film is a fine example of what happens when two good actors are given a bad book and one of them plays to be a director. Don't waste your time

Hereditary (2018)

Audience laughing during the last 30 minutes!

[5/10 · 16 June 2018]

This piece of s**** could arguably be one of the worst films ever made. For the first 30 minutes I kept wondering if this was the film I intended to see. Slow, boring, dreadful. But thought, well it might just be the beginning. The last 30 minutes of the film I found myself laughing with the rest of the audicience at how ridiculous the whole thing was. Waste of time, waste of money. Just don't watch it!

Million Dollar Baby (2004)

Hilary Swank knocks me out !!!

[9/10 · 22 February 2005]

This film is one of those that when you leave the cinema you still think about it, and you say to yourself, what a wonderful film I have just seen! I have to say, that when I bought the ticket, I was not so sure, a boxing film..mummy, I don't know.....but this is a boxing film that you should see and you'll be glad to see it. Yes, it's about boxing, but it's about life, love, a thrilling and heartbreaking movie. And Hilary Swank is outstanding, what an actress!! It's more than evident that she put her heart and soul into this demanding piece of work. I think she will have her second Oscar at home soon. Clint Eastwood is good too in his manager role, and the brilliant Morgan Freeman deserves the Oscar too. What more I could say, it's one of the best movies of 2004....go, see it and enjoy the show!!!!

Matador (1986)

Almodovar's touch.

[6/10 · 31 May 2004]

I saw this film a couple of weeks ago, I rented it because I like Almodóvar's films very much, but this film is very strange,and it's difficult to understand it perfectly. A. Banderas plays a guy who has some problems, we don't know if he's gay or not, but it seems like he is very much in love with his bullfighter teacher.

The bullfighter teacher is phsyco who kills womens while they're making love and Banderas tell the police that he comitted those crimes. And then Banderas' lawyer is a very sensual woman who kills men while they are making love and she is in love with banderas' teacher!! FREAKY!!! It's very strange, but you know , it's an Almodovar film. we can expect everything....see it...and make your conclusion.

A Beautiful Mind (2001)

Russell Crowe in his best interpretation!!!!

[9/10 · 20 March 2004]

A Beautiful Mind is not just another film, it's brilliant, Russell Crowe is an incredible actor, his performance is perfect.!! I can't understand why he didn't win the Oscar for this film?? He did a great interpretation in Gladiator but in this one he is brilliant!!! Ed Harris in his role as Parcher is great too!, but I don't think Jennifer Connelly deserved the Oscar, she is Ok but THE OSCAR????? Paul Bettanny ( I hadn't heard of him before this film)is good too. You must see this film, it's really difficult to find another film like this one!!! ENJOY IT!!!!

Thirteen (2003)

Just the Real Life!!!!

[7/10 · 4 February 2004]

A good movie, wonderful performances by Holly Hunter (as usual) and Evan Rachel Wood. The story is very good , but I didn't like the way it was recorded.Holly Hunter deserves the OSCAR as an actress in supporting role....she is wondeful..I love her. Evan R. Wood will be a great actress, no questions about it. 6/10
