Army of the Dead (2021)
Waste of time, effort and money...
Not original. Seems a very bad mix-up between 'Train to Busan 2: Peninsula', 'Resident Evil: Extinction' & 'I am Legend', but it just doesn't come even near these movies. Bad acting. Bad plot. Bad build-up. Bad special effects. No chemistry. Shame had a lot of potential, well at least the trailer was nice...
Ratched (2020)
AHS meets 666 Park Avenue
American Horror Story meets 666 Park Avenue. At least that was kinda my experience with this one. Every time I saw Sharon Stone play her part, although it was well executed, it just made me think of Jessica Lange.
Ratched felt very familiar. Slow build up, promising characters, nice plot twists. But in the end it left me unsatisfied. It just wasn't enough, enjoyable but not good. Nice try, maybe second season....
The Irishman (2019)
The Evil stepbrother of The Godfather
Disappointing. Not what I expected and a bit over the top for me. To much senseless violence and needless abusive language. Not enough in-depth content. No good build up of tension/thrills and the main character played by Robert de Niro stays very dull and flat.
Al Pacino did a lot better. Respect for Joe Pesci, but he does seem to get a bit old for these roles. Nice try though, too bad it was so long and a bit boring. Very unlike Scorsese.
Antwone Fisher (2002)
True Masterpiece
If there are two movies that made impact and have a special place in my heart, it most certainly are: Antwone Fisher & Forrest Gump. Antwone Fisher is an emancipating story of a struggle of a young black man growing up, standing on the crossroads and fighting the demons of his past. This movie also remind me of another comparable Masterpiece: the Color Purple.
This movie really deserved Oscars for best directing, story and main character. The way Derek Luke performed his debut movie role was just excellent. And Sir Denzel Washington was sparkling as always: intelligent, sharp, descent, thoughtful and sophisticated. Deep, confronting and inspiring. Thank you for this movie. Respect!
Yesterday (2019)
Very good movie!
It was a delight to see Himesh Patel in this role and I liked the chemistry between him and Lily James. Loved the story. Like many others I re-discovered my appreciation for the Beatles and was surprised how much songs I still knew.
I often watch the movie again, especially the part with the battle between Himesh & Ed Sheeran. Beautiful and touching moment, that brings me to tears every time. To me, if I dare say, it as maybe even better...
Later on I saw the so-called missing or deleted scene: ' 'Something' on the James Corden Show' on YouTube and I was devastated. How and in which reality did they switch this perfect scene with the current version? Why?
Dear reader I most sincerely ask you: If you like this movie, You really have to, must and shall watch this scene as an necessary addition to the movie, believe me it just really completes it! Enjoy... ;-)
Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)
Lame...
What a disappointing movie. What could have been a good chance to create a worthy sequel to the magical 'T2', was a very sorry excuse for a movie. Waste of potential and momentum. By far the worst sequel in the 'Terminator' cycle. Shame!
Charlie's Angels (2019)
Don't bother...
Just a piece of ...movie. Failed attempt of female version of Mission Impossible. Charlies Angels were never about that. Lacks a cohesive story and content. Waste of time, money and energy, so don't bother.
Doctor Sleep (2019)
Very Nice & Pleasant
Liked it a lot! Just like the remake of the IT. Good story. Good cast. Good acting. Good directing. Superb. Chilling, fast paced and a logical modern sequel. Rose the Hat was just marvelous.
No comparison to The Shining off course, that was a Masterpiece. In my opinion it could have used more horror, but it in the end it was a very entertaining and pleasant supernatural thriller. Tastes like more...
Dolittle (2020)
One dimensional...
It just wasn't very funny, nor very adventurous. Robert Downey was a bit of a dissapointment. To much Ironman? The roles of Antonio Banderas & Martin Sheen in the movie were a bit small and lacked depth. Just like the lovestory of Dr. & Lily Doolittle was kinda flat. But for the children it's certainly a nice and entertaining movie for a rainy day.
The Informer (2019)
Nice build up... Entertaining
Just another entertaining movie that starts very good, but loses the strength to end well. I had potential, good actors but it just didn't do it for me. But a nice nice TV Movie.
The Grudge (2019)
Boring....
Don't even bother. Had high hopes from the participance of John Cho. But he just didn't get a good part in the play. Although his performance was good, the roll was empty and hollow, just like the rest of the movie, Dull & Boring
Jumanji: The Next Level (2019)
Mwoah...
The first was more original and funny. Certainly not a masterpiece, but it was slightly entertaining. Although it was nice to see Danny Devito & Danny Glover again, I just didn't see the value of their presence in the movie, it was none existent. I didn't add nothing to the movie. Shame! It was a bit boring to be honest and for me the only spectaculare part of the movie was the scene with the Mandrills. Watchable yes, Funny mwoah...
Joker (2019)
Deep, Dark, Gritty and Twisted
Psychological thriller about the continuing mental decay of the man becoming 'The Joker'. A very dark movie, that shows a man balancing on the edge, trying to make sense of his life and searches for the thruth.
It also tells a very gritty and social critical story about life on the downside of society and the way that people with mental disorders are still treated today, or need I say a lack thereoff... Compelling and in a twisted way and sadly enough I guess it just makes sense and couldn't be any other way. Beautifull, Disturbing & Certainly Worth the Effort. Very good performances of Joaquin Phoenix & Frances Conroy.
1917 (2019)
Good, but its's missing something...
Overall a decent movie and very informative. I think it gives a accurate view of the Hell thats called WW-I. It depicts the death and dying, desperation of the young soldiers and the senseless killing that went on.
An adventure of two soldiers, orderderd to try stop their kinsmen who're marching unto a certain death because of the trap set by the German army. Will they make it in time? A good and true story, but I didn't feel much about the way the movie was executed and therefor I don't quiet understand the Oscar. But that's personal I guess.
For me it just wasn't the masterpiece I was expecting or hoping for. It felt kinda empty and hollow. For me it lacked the quality and depth of series and movies like: 'Band of Brothers', 'South Pacific', 'Saving Private Ryan', 'Platoon', 'Deerhunter', 'Hotel Rwanda' or 'Beasts of no Nation' and so on. I guess I just have to keep waiting a while longer.
Insidious: The Last Key (2018)
Horrible and Awfull movie
First of all I liked the first three movies. I wish I saw those in the cinema, that would have been a treat. So expecting more of the same, I went to see part 4 'The last key'. It was most definitly a horror to watch.
An awfull movie. Bad quality of the story, no build up or climax. The actors were terrible and the jokes were horrible. It was a very dull and boring experience. Shame, shame, shame!
