Magic Mike's Last Dance (2023)
The abs can't save this movie lol
Oh wow... surprise surprise... channing tatum's character is in the slump again. Learning nothing from his previous movie (and got dump again)...
And then, in this movie, he found his sugar mommy... I enjoyed those spending spree scene and honestly, they should give us more of that and channing tatum's abs because the story really can't save this movie...
Whats with this prestigious old theatre turning into a strip club lol... those that bought tickets would just exit the bloody place instead of continuing watching the thing they didn't ask for, especially the husbands.
Like the previous movie (second one) was fun. It explored the vulnerability of the male strippers and also it was a convention, it had the built up and what the viewers wanted...
I don't know, from the forced start, this whole movie is a mess. The dancing is okay.. I guess. Feel like nothing new except the rain scene. That female dancer has a very good body and can dance, but thats about it.
Feel like it should have been a funner movie or something. This one definitely a let down.
Guranmezon Tokyo (2019)
Food looks delicious
It's not bad. After a somewhat dramatic opening that caused the main character to not being able to get a job at all (despite his credentials... Yes I know letting a peanut allergy is such a bad move but he would still, most likely, be able to find work somewhere but probably will descend into alcoholism and drugs if this were a hollywood western made series - look at the bears and burnt)...
Anyway, the story after that dramatic moment is the usual feel good, power of friendship and teamwork. Kimutaku did bring some good spicy drama and tension with his character but nothing mind breaking. Everything pretty much resolved towards the end.
But wow I came for the food and it did not fail me. It looks so good and innovative. Watching this late of night is a bad choice because it is making me hungry and wanting to eat some fine dining.
The other characters are not too bad too and the "villains" of the show is not a comical villain, just somewhat annoying sometime because it stopped the flow of the story and it made them so petty.
Kaos (2024)
The gods are back
I enjoyed the whole series but I did not appreciate the abrupt ending, as if they are depending on s2.
I love how it shows that greek mythology and their stories and their gods still have place in our television. They are dramatic and full of drama. I love it.
The fates are amazing and just seeing the gods living in modern time. Poseidon with its cruise ship, I just lol-ed a lot.
But I wish... I wish the story actually reach its conclusion in ep8, instead of having to wait for s2... if they wanted to do it that way, you probably don't need 8 episode. I was waiting and looking forward for a complete journey, not a bloody cliffhanger...
I do love that they bring back Zeus as a big bad god once more. Erratic and just full of power and putting fear in other gods.
I will be looking forward to s2 but the last episode already changed the tone bit too much to my liking, so hopefully s2 will keep that overwhelming gods and myth tone.
Lucy (2014)
Worse with time
I watched this when it first came out and thought it was okay as a movie. ScarJo was fun to watch and the whole setting was entertaining...
But oh boy... 10 years later, I don't know why I didn't laugh at the movie the first time I watched it... it's so pretentious lol..
The idea of only using 10% of your brain is already a myth and somehow a drug can give you superpower its just hilarious... the speech given by the professor is also so high and mighty... hard to take that no one was laughing at him.
I do like watching scarjo kick some asses, especially after her black widow era but this movie isn't...
Angkhan Khlumpong: Extreme (2024)
It's not bad but it's not that great
Some episode is pretty strong... like the one with the doll has an interesting twist.
I also enjoyed the ghost giving couple therapy crash course in the seaside villa episode. That was something...
The one with sudden nsfw scene (the girl next door) has a predictable but also okay...
But some are just meh... story is just so so and like meh... just something missing and offers nothing new.
I do say, the english dub did a good job. I very much enjoyed watching this in the english dub for once.
So yeah, overall, not a bad thing to watch if you got nothing and looking for some horror vibes, but overall it was just meh. The daydreaming hour from joko anwar was better.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)
Long runtime with nothing much going on...
I tried.... I tried watching this 3x... first time I gave up just around the girl was forced to retire, granted I had something to do then.... Second time I paused and forgot about it was around the girl met the girl ghost again in the cafe... and now, I am trying so hard not to quit the movie again in the middle...
Just who are all these characters? All these teenagers... granted I haven't watch the previous movie again for years but like, these people are just not interesting and why are they even in the movie?
The plot / mystery moved so slow... there aren't even much ghost in it or comedy... The urghh 'character development' of the girl and her relationship with the ghost girl is just arjfnjdndnk.... Just keep the momentum going...
Hire better writer geez... put some money on good writers instead of all these actors and characters I dont give af...
Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)
A love letter to 20th century fox's x-men universe.
The movie was definitely entertaining but if it didn't have all those cameos and easter eggs inside jokes, it wouldn't be as good.
The script / story was weak. It felt force and didn't make sense (like I know it is a deadpool movie but him and Vanessa breaking up because.... Depression? Him not feeling good enough?)
And the whole start with the tva was weird and didn't make any sense - why was deadpool the only one deemed worthy? And why was the english guy blabbed the whole plan to deadpool?
Why can't Deadpool just suddenly knew the plan accidentally or because he knows the script... he's a character that can break the fourth wall.
There was a lot of repetition scenes as well and just stuffs that didn't flow well. Yes this wolverine is the worst apparently... x-23 just gotta be there and have a little emotional talk...
Thank goodness the jokes were great because it did make the movies entertaining and if you grow up watching the 20th century fox's x-men, you get extra the feel.
Hugh jackman was great obviously and so were the cameos... overall a better movie than the recent marvel stuffs. Multiverse can suck it indeed...
(Also cassandra was great. She has great power and presence... too bad for the ending though).
The 355 (2022)
Is this one of the worst movie ever made..?
Might be overreacting but wow... I can't help but to roll my eyes continuously 360degrees...
Let's start with the positive, I like the casts. I like Jessica, Penelope, Lupita, Diane... they all great. The chemistry is great too. The movie definitely pick up when they meet and team up... but wow the amount of shenanigans that happened in this movie is so cringe and bad that the amazing casts could not save this movie at all...
I hate... hate the mcguffin device plot with the technology. I rather have movie where a list of name or login data got stolen (and have the movie point that out and how stupid they store the data in usb or something) instead of this magical device that can affect the internet and all system...
Technology = magic at this point.
And wow... the action scene in the market (inspired by the third Bourne movie maybe and Indiana Jones) was pretty bad... it has some good scenes (basically the end bit) but it was pretty hilarious that the gun basically produced no noise at all (anything can be a silencer) and a dead body dropping to the ground, in the middle of a busy market, is like a tree dropping in the forest...
The dialogue is bad... the plot is like a rehashing of all the movies before. Its not even a fun movie... maybe thats why I only heard of this movie in netflix...
Blue Beetle (2023)
It's not bad but...
It's also not good enough...
I like the characters. The main guy is funny and cute. And i love his family too... it's just the movie kinda wasted all these characters.
The emotional punch isn't really punching, because you don't really get to spend more time with the family, especially the dad. If they wanted to do it that way, might as well sacrifice the love interest...
The dialogue towards the end got even worst... it was very jarring and not even susan sarandon can save it.
Story wise is very basic. Some funny moments. Action wise was okay... I dislike the house bit (the one before the third act) and the third act... it was very formulaic...
Trigger Warning (2024)
Yeah nah...
After researching more about this movie in Wikipedia and realising the director is someone from my country whose last indie movie was pretty successful and has the same vibe with this movie, it kinda tells...
I think the director really likes the western vibe, since the setting, the revenge story is like a throwback to the western genre but... oh boy... the movie's look - like the lighting - is very inconsistent.
The choices for some shots were also very bad and comical even. There was this scene where Jessica Alva (I don't even remember her character name) throw a bunch of punches to this guy sitting on a jeep... and they used 3-4 cuts and shot from different sides? It was so weird... and the whole colour grading and look just keep on changing. Sometimes you get a kinda dark somber look (the one used in the preview during the funeral) but then you get this really harsh light that you usually see in those tv shows...
The story is meh... offering nothing new. Basically all of this offers nothing new. I just feel bad if I put a 1 since at least the director tried..
Joko Anwar's Nightmares and Daydreams (2024)
It's not bad at all
As an Indonesian, I'm surprised we actually got this kind of quality.
I haven't watched a lot of Indonesian movie lately (or ever actually) because I really can't get into them. Usually the acting is really bad and the dialogues are cringe as well. The production is also usually pretty bad and low budget...
And so, I was surprised how delightful this series was. The production was definitely a step up from usual. Hell, the cgi was actually pretty good too and wow, the story is not bad at all.
It is far from perfect, like some episodes are stronger than the other (for me personally I like ep 3 the most, then 2), and there were some wtf moments that are not that great and dragged out (and don't get me started on the last episode and that girl who only has 1 emotion and can barely act...)
But overall, it was a pleasant watch. I love the horror stories and the Lovecraftian vibe. I won't mind having another s2 but will need some tighter story and scenes.
Madame Web (2024)
Who made this movie lol
Omg... the action (if you can call it that) is pretty bad. The way the main character (I don't even remember her name) first met the girls and got the girls to come with her is stupidly hilarious. The scene doesn't flow nicely at all... I wonder if they were planning to have a train action scene but like budget cut lol
I am glad I'm watching this trainwreck in netflix (considering the lack of trains getting wreck in this movie too! We want chaos! We want train wreck action scene lol).
There was barely any action scene... the bad guy is really... really BAD at his jobs.. can't even chase these girls and that 50 shades dakota johnson.
Dakota appeared to be done with this movie. The acting is sloopy and I really thought she was a lot better than this... but then again, I don't blame her as the character changes her pov asap after opening her window to save a bird.
Hit Man (2023)
That ending...
Glen Powell is freaking charming in this movie. Basically he is hot and I am all here for it. I can keep watching him changing his disguises. It was the good part of this movie, and the funniest.
Anathema (Love you Good Omen) is also hot. Like super hot. They are basically 2 good looking people in this twisted romcom story. The chemistry is good, their relationship portrayal is sexy and entertaining to watch but I do think the movie kinda drag on. There is no action or some set pieces, but it is pretty funny. It is not a bad movie at all but they really did cross the line morally lol.
Honestly, I thought Ron (Glen Powell) would be a serial killer. He has the look and the wtf script he churned out during his interrogation. I think its just a funny twist if he turned out be a serial killer that just off bad people as a hobby. Like dexter. But some bits of the movie won't work.
Overall, not a bad movie but kinda lacking something. But Glen Powell is amazing and I will support him and whatever movie he would be in.
Gojira -1.0 (2023)
Pretty fun watch
If it wasn't for the hype around this movie, I probably won't watch it. Never a big fan of Godzilla.
The movie itself was fun. Yes it was kinda ridiculous, especially the strategy on how to defeat Godzilla. Kinda funny honestly but Kamiki did a good job. I always enjoyed watching him acting, ever since he was little. We kinda grow up together. He is always a pleasure to watch on the screen. Such good portrayal of ptsd and some raw emotions.
Noriko was decent. The neighbour was another famous actress that I always don't remember her name. I enjoyed her performance in Monster and another drama.
Anyway, ad a Godzilla movie, this was fun. There was some cliche bits and moments but hey, the setting was good, the camera work was also good, and of course, the cgi was really good.
I felt the power when Godzilla did his first ray beam. I even got excited when I watched the scales lit up. Like wowowowowowowow. Amazing. Love those moments.
Kaibutsu no kikori (2023)
Pretty bad
I know nothing from this film and went in expecting some bloody horror and psychological thriller. Basically some good stuffs with Kame as the lead and Takashi Miike as the director... but in the end, the movie offered none of that.
Like.. the opening of the movie is probably the best bit for me. Showing how ruthless Kame is and how he is a psychopath but also killed people who like did harm (like Dexter). Then when the scene with the sprinkler came in, I was very disappointed. Like the killer decided to stop because he was rained on and some light got turned on? Like lol. There was no other people coming in for help etc. It was a pretty bad scene. And after that, it was just a snooze. No bloody murder scene, no horror or thriller... just all talk and some nonsense shenanigans about the chips on your head. Like lol...
I know it's based on a novel but the initial premise is kinda ridiculous and bad. Also again, the lighting is kinda meh... it felt like another j-drama movie. Nothing special about it.
Kame deserved better.
Reacher: Fly Boy (2024)
Kinda solid but also dumb
There are some scenes that doesn't make sense and I don't like for this finale.
The fact that Langston didn't just kill the hostage immediately when he got Reacher just made it like the plot protected them.
Also the fight inside the helicopter was pretty badly stage... a lot of standing around and those 2 being strapped the whole time made it kinda hilarious. Also that Reacher made a tom cruise scene just made it toooo over the top.
Also, why destroying the helicopter with those 2 people inside...? It just leave a bad taste in my mouth. I can understand the reason for the scientist but for the helicopter guy... he didn't even partake in the fight...
Definitely could be better. I like the group. Neagley is amazing and them losing those friends was also emotional for me...
Totally Killer (2023)
It's actually really funny
I enjoyed it. I thought it'll be another dumb movie (it is kinda dumb) but it is a great addition to the slasher genre.
Also the fact that the 80s girls are like a callback to mean girls group is funny af. I can't get the Plastic's walking song out of my head when the girls were first introduced.
Kieran (aka Sabrina) did a good job. I miss her Sabrina and I wished her tv show was a lot more better because I really enjoyed her performance in here.
A lot of callback and like just wtf moments are really good. I don't even mind the weird time travel moments, the exposition at the was just meh though, but the action was good.
Unfrosted (2024)
It is funny but could be better
I think they can crank up the comedy even more but also shortened the length of the movie.
There was some stupid and funny moments that got a laugh out of me, but the overtly complicated detour / story kinda made it meh...
Do love a lot of cameo (especially you James Marsden. Always in my heart) but yeah story wise and overall things could definitely be better. Like the other guys where it has a lot of memorable, out of there scenes with a simple but also cohesive plot.
I think overall the actors are all ok. Hugh Grant as a shakespeare wanna be actor ended up playing as a mascot.. such a Hugh Grant thing to do nowadays.
Bodkin (2024)
I want to love it
But in the end, I could barely finish this thing.
The overall vibe reminded me of Hot Fuzz with Only Murders in the Building.
I've been a fan of Only Murders since s1 and was hoping this show to be pretty good. It is said to be a dark comedy but it didn't feel like it most of the time.
I also sense some Hot Fuzz vibe out of it but maybe it is because of the setting. I would honestly love it more if it was like Hot Fuzz too.
I think it was just too slow and not that interesting. I got lost in the overall plot and was too lazy to backtrack to catch up with it in the end.
So yeah... it was just another meh series for me.
Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver (2024)
It's a comedy
Guess if you stop taking it seriously and started to look at it as a comedy, it is pretty funny.
Set of live musicians to serenade your assassination work, amazing. The fact that they know where to hold their notes and up their strings for more suspense during such live scene showed how professional these musicians are and what a commitment they have to their art.
The harvesting scene that could double as an advertisement for schewepps, amazing. Should get in touch with that company for extra money.
Bloody passing around their backstory around the table, hell yeah... shortcut way on giving these forgettable characters some backstory.
And omg, using grains around their houses as their defense, 10/10 strategy, too bad they didn't attach the grains onto their body instead.
I'm still waiting for more shirtless scene in slow mo.
Shiti Hanta (2024)
Probably won't watch it twice
I want to love it because I do enjoyed the original City Hunter and the Jackie Chan's movie (I'm watching it right now again).
City Hunter was huge back in the 80s and 90s. The pervy part of Ryo came from that era (these pervy protagonist probably won't work anymore in the current era), and even though he is pervy, he is actually great at his works and kind.
I think the casting choice for Ryo was really good. He nailed the character and his body was great lol. I enjoyed the Mokkori scene. The comedy was great too but I felt let down by the overall production.
I wanted it to have more artistic side of it, especially in its colour and cinematography. The opening scene was great, that part where Ryo used the soapy land cushion was funny af, but after that, it felt like a B movie production, especially during the cosplay scenes.
The action sequence and the bullet shooting was great. It didnt have to be so realistic, but I just wish the cinematography was more interesting. It just felt like a normal Japanese drama instead of a great production. Should have looked at how the Korean did on Parasyte Grey. The colour palette was at least something different.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith: First Date (2024)
OMG STOP TEXTING
These "operative agents" are so dumb...
I love donald glover since his time in community and with his music career, but I just can't with this stupid script.
From the beginning, it was already so bad... the two on the run agents suddenly changing their mind, not even having some booby traps secured, etc. And how did the first person even die!? Shot from where and why the bullets didnt keep coming too as soon as the other agent went out the door.
AND OMG... the THEATER SCENE. IT GOT MY BLOOD BOILING. FREAKING HIDE YOUR PHONE AT LEAST. OR TEXT WITHOUT BLOODY LOOKNG AT YOUR PHONE. AS SOMEONE WHO HAD TEXT ALOT. YOU KNOW WHERE THE KEYBOARD IS WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING. TRY IT, I DARE YOU! Plus she is a professional! Not only it is rude but also DRAW ATTENTION TO YOURSELF! OR FREAKING USE AN OLD PHONE SINCE NEW PHONE HAS THE CHANCE OF BEING HACK AS WELL.
Gen V: Guardians of Godolkin (2023)
Watchable
Improvement from the last 2 episodes but also like, maybe they ran out of budget lol.
Guess it is bit hard to have a good fighting scene with these many powers, but lol to that "get to the helicopter scene" because inside was on fire... but the building behind them wasn't lol.
I get what they wanted to do with the story line but like, in the end, marie also murder people and didnt feel traumatic at all... the trauma got shifted to blowing cate's hand.
But damn Homelander looks good. Love you Anthony.
Well, we shall see if s2 will be good / better. Rest in peace Andre though... Ive watched you in Sabrina and really love the character Ambrose, least in s1 before the story went meh as well.
Gen V: Welcome to the Monster Club (2023)
Felt rushed
I feel like it started out great but like... they started to rush it by this episode...
Things felt super jarring after Marie found the tracker in her shoulders. She rushed to Cate and the conversation just felt awkward. And she changed clothes after? And like Jordan was able to see the injury immediately after? And Marie was able to sense the tracker inside Jordan despite having her memory wipes? Is this a sign of her power growing but it wasn't even touched again after...
Like... it was just so painful to watch. Felt like they could have a smoother pace or something instead of what we were presented with.
Fallout (2024)
Great season 1
Do hope this series will get another season. I never play the game but do know bout bits and pieces of the lore (thank you video essay) and this series is very entertaining and well done.
The story is engaging. Simple and yet amazingly well put. The violence is very... violent. Over the top, lots of gruesome stuffs that made me look away from the screen or just cringe, but like it fits the wasteland and the situation they are in.
Theres only an editing error or like splicing (?) that doesn't make sense and put me out of the story, but other than that, I enjoyed every minute of it. Kinda sad that the s1 is finish and who knows when the next season will be out.
I like the characters. Lucy is very nice as a protagonist. She started as someone who is quite naive because of her upbringing to become a survivor without truly losing herself.
I love the ghoul character, though it reminded me so much of that character in westworld.
I also love the musics and the retro 60s aesthethic contrasted with apocalypse. Always something I enjoyed to see from the fallout games.
Also big shout to the best girl, the doggo. Cx404 / Dogmeat, you are amazing.
