The Old Man & the Gun  |
Rating of: 1/4

Its a dull, slow paced movie. An old thief robbes here and there, falls for an old lady and has ,,Robin Hood,, aura, but a hero without real adventure and motivation. He just does it, but we re not in any way obliged to agree, not even to watch this dull pelicula. Another great actor ,,bites the dust,, in a regretable movie. Shame! |

Not Old or Wise, But Still So Much We Can Learn
|
|
I have to say that 2018 was a banner year for portraying the emotion and drama of teen life that truly had impact. On one hand, you have Eighth Grade that lets you look through the eyes of Kayla (Elsie Fisher) that shows us what modern-day teens have to deal with. On the other hand you have this film, in which Sunny Suljic gives an equally powerful performance and even though (as the title suggests) it takes place in the past, the lessons learned are just as important.
Suljic plays Stevie, ... |

| Bad Times at the El Royale |
Rating of: 2.5/4

For about an hour, Drew Goddard's Bad Times at the El Royale is a crazy-good neo-noir thriller to sink your teeth into -- an engaging mystery box with a fascinating setting, colorful visuals and interesting characters who hold dark and dangerous secrets.
Then the film kind of derails, but that's not to say it's completely without its joys. Chris Hemsworth's nut-job character provides much-needed humor in the latter half of the film (speaking of which, the film is very dark and bleak, and mu... |

This is a surprise! Watching this film is like riding a roller coaster. It's a perfect combination of thrill and fun. Who would have thought that a Blake lively-Anna Kendrick duo could make the most out of comedy-mystery film? I loved it so much that I'll use it as my reference in film school as an effective combination of comedy and crime genres. Good watch!!! |

Half fantasy. Half horror.
|

You can eat cookies till you throw up, for all I care.
You’ll see… things are…quite different here.
Have you seen “Goosebumps” where Jack Black plays the leading role as well? Well, you can expect almost the same thing. A kids-sized horror film. And I had the same feelings about it after a certain amount of time. Namely that it’s all a little bit over the top. Probably it wasn’t the intention to make it too scary. It should all be about magic and mystery. And it sure was the first half. I a... |

Nice action. Denzel was great. I just wish the plot could have been smarter and entertaining. Halfway through the film, I was not really sure if I am liking the story development. |

Interesting, fascinating and captivating film
|

Wow.
You’ve given each other the perfect male fantasy.
Sex without emotional attachment.
Fascinating. That’s the best description for this film. “Jonathan” is not an easy movie and it excels in monotony. But give this not so action-packed, one location situated film a chance and maybe you’ll discover how unparalleled and brilliant this film is. The starting point is actually dead simple. Those who already experienced the concept of living together, know that this only has a cha... |

If It Was Simple, It Wouldn't Be So Much Fun
|
|
I think Paul Feig should lay off the comedy for awhile and make more films like this. While A Simple Favor has some humorous moments, it is more of a mystery with plenty of twists and some dark moments thrown into the mix. Plus, the trifecta of Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively and Henry Golding makes for a smart, entertaining combination.
The film starts off innocently enough, with Kendrick playing Stephanie Smothers, a single mother who vlogs her life following the death of her husband and broth... |

Belle Bella Thorne in a superficial movie
|
|
The Event took people we cared about,
but it also left a part of them behind.
Remnants.
When I saw “Shovel Buddies” a while ago, I decided to add the item “Watch movies with Bella Thorne playing in it” to my to-do list. Now, I have a large number of to-do lists in the meantime. I could wallpaper my living room with it. In short, too much talk and too little action. I was pleased to see at the beginning of the film that she also participated in “I still see you“. The only thing that surpris... |
