Child's Play 3 (1991)
Actually a solid movie
This is one of the movies that gave me nightmares as a kid. And now about 25 years later I watched it again and found it entertaining, with a decent plot, solid acting and a good combo of comedy and horror. I don't think it was ever meant to be taken seriously (well unless you're 10 years old). I think it is the best of the series at least the 3 or 4 I have watched.
Cruella (2021)
Too pop for my taste
I loved the original Dalmatians movie but movies nowadays luck soul. Disney tries desperately to squeeze money out of the franchise it owns and this one is no exception. The movie is watchable and fun but is pretty effortless in terms of... well everything. The visuals are nice and the music is a selection of the pop hits of the last 30 years to please the easy audience which it does effectively. Acting by both Emmas is great as one would expect.
The Fanatic (2019)
Not a fan
I feel sorry for John Travolta who did act well in this movie but the story was so poorly written that it dragged everyone down with it. It's bad but not so bad as to make it funny.
The Boys in the Band (2020)
A bit disappointing
Didn't have any wild expectations but still I wasn't impressed. The quirky queer dialogues are fun at first but they become tiring after a while. There is a feeling of a theatrical play which is to be expected. Not all characters are developed and some appear too shallow and unnecessarily mean like Jim Parsons. The story is almost non existent too.
Dinner for Schmucks (2010)
One of my favourite comedies
I can't believe its low score. I enjoyed it so much I laughed with tears. Steve Carell is HILARIOUS and the plot is quite unexpectable. Well at least some parts. Some original ideas but very well written and acted. Totally worth it!
Hereditary (2018)
Maybe the best psychological horror film
People that trash this movie or make fun of it are the ones who are too scared to surrender to fear. It's a coping mechanism that protects them from the unpleasant feelings this movie generates, understandably. Well it's not for the faint hearted; those will find reasons to hate it. If you're comfortable with feeling uncomfortable then this movie will satisfy you, potentially terrify you but you will enjoy it. At least I did. Top-notch performances, disturbing music with a lurking distressing vibe that haunts you.
Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood (2019)
A Hollywood documentary
There's not a real storyline or plot. Kind of entertaining to watch because of the amazing atmosphere and photography of Hollywood and the late 60s. The film delivers on that aspect and really immerses you in a different era. However the lack of suspense makes the movie pretty dull. Some dialogues are interesting but the narrative is not very convincing. Different references and stories stitched together with no apparent reason. Could be done in one hour less. I found it very tiring. Only for cinephiles, Tarantino fans, or 60s nostalgics.
Stranger Things (2016)
Third season is a joke...
...but not funny. Unnecessarily long and pointless, full of plotholes and the storyline is lame to say the least. Wynona is overacting and the kids cannot save the very poor script. I will not even mention the Russians, most have captured this ridiculousness better than me.
The ending suggests there will be another season but I seriously doubt it after the public outrage. Even if there is one will definitely not bother watching it.
The Favourite (2018)
Brilliant
People who hate it are either shallow, are too brainwashed with s*loads of hollywood blockbuster movies, or are just biased in a way.
