Fan xiao (2019)
A horror story with politics heavily influenced into it.
After watching this movie, my first thought was if this wasnt a video game, with the slender man monster it would be a waste and why does this remind me of the game "Devotion"? with the cinematography. Guess what it is. The art director was great, creepy and weird at the same time, except for the poor CGI which i expected from Taiwan, other than US, no other countries can produce decent cgi so i can look past it. I presume this movie is another title aimed at dissing KMT's handling during the white terror period, which ironically was Taiwan's most properous one as well. Curfews issued at 10pm daily, restrictions on gatherings and discussion basically no freedom of speech or anything allowed, my mum lived thru that. Whatever it is put politics aside and enjoy the movie.
Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood (2019)
The emperor's new clothes.
Folks like me and you, come to see a Tarantino Film with great actors Leo and Brad. Half way through the show, despite having great art work and film that stays to the 70s, all of us are wondering...what on earth is this? Only people who actually heard of the infamous hollywood incident, would know what this show is about. Which is towards the last 40mins. The classic fable tale, summs everything up, folks are gonna lie to themselves, and claim this is unique and sophiscated blah blah blah. Unless you belong to that specific, smart group of people, you aint going to enjoy the 3hours long show. What we have here is the emperor's new clothes dilemma.
Robin Hood (2018)
2hours of boredom, a few memorable scenes. 5 stars
As per title. To be fair, there were a few scenes whereby there was decent fighting with the modern bow and arrow action scenes, nice hand to hand combat. The romantic part of the storyline was boring and cringe worthy, often many times the lead actress and the actor were seeking the approval of each other like "smiles* I did well right?" Camera shifts to the other lead "smiles* yes you did my dear" and this happened for like nearly every scene especially the part the main lead gives a motivational speech. Really unnecessary romance storyline just for the plot. So cringe.
The villan played his part well just like how he did in ready player one. Other than that, maybe that guy from green arrow could have portrayed a manlier robin hood lol anyways...all in all this was bad. I still loved that King Arthur movie where everyone else thought was bad....this was way below it.
Hereditary (2018)
Does not live up to its name.
I feel much of the moviegoers here are just like me, prior to going to the cinema to have a good scare, we idiots decided to check out the rating and the raving reviews. What ya expect? 10/10 horror terrifying show was expected, however of course we were let down by our high expectations. Personally myself I aint a horror movie fan, infact I was dragged down by my wife to watch this because...the reviews said this was so good even the reviews from chinese in China. The beginning intro was good, very creepily good, the minature houses, the setting and the atmosphere....the build up was good....but the pace was way to slow...half of the time i was expecting something really freaky to happen...but I was dissapointed. I guess the main scare was towards the last 25mins of the movie, and the ending where most audiences would LOLed together with you haha. Overall- very good acting from the actors and actress....creepy build up to the finale. At best a 7/10 movie. p.s the conjuring was way scarier in my opinion.
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)
8/10 solid true born king movie enjoyed it tremendously
Well paced and action packed movie!!! Well right from the start, i love the way director guy ritchie fast forwards certain unimportant scenes with style, scenes that could be extremely draggy were produced in an entertaining way. Not the best king authur story line, script is 6/10 at best, but this amazing director could amp it up to 8/10. Would definitely recommend anyone who wants to enjoy a movie with war, blood and gigantic creatures. Very upset with the way critics judge this movie, its way too harsh! Well guess what, that mean you would enter the cinema with low expectations like me and be blasted away leaving you thinking wtf this is in fact a solid show for a true born king! 8/10 my friends. Cheers!
