Movie Mini-Review Thread - Part III

[Neoprod]

I love Scott Pilgrim, but she's the worst character in it. She's just basically deadpan for 95% of the movie.

You're about to get effed in the b.

First 5 min's of Kate and it already feels like something I've watched 100 times before.
Will finish tonight.

Box Office Cinema Pemiere - Mr. Johnson. Locally made, about a guy coming out of a coma after 47 years.

Fair acting, but we think they ruin the story with their "clever" twist.
Mild at best.

Don't think it's woke, it isn't about that. Great humour IMO.

And mostly done better.

A disappointing cliché.

Same source - Lupin III: The First

Meh. First time I've seen anything from the series and it is pretty damn annoying. Also not a big fan of 3D anime. 4/10

Same source - A Quiet Place

Not bad actually 7/10. Will watch the sequel soon.

The new one? Worth it? Watched all Ghibli movies except for that

Yeah not for me thanks haha.

I see they just added Cruella just now.

No it was one of the first Ghibli movies directed by Miyazaki. It’s great

The Voyeurs (2021) 5/10

This is a car crash of a film. The 1st half/hr plays out almost like a porno version of Rear Window (1954), 2nd half/hr has this weird direction shift. The plot has more holes than Swiss cheese, it is next level stupid yet you find it hard to turn away. After finishing the film you still think to yourself “Dafaq was that??”.

PS: Sydney Sweeney‘s glorious mammaries are in full display & the chick who plays Julia is hot af: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natasha_Liu_Bordizzo

PPS: The Justice Smith fellow is annoying & badly casted/cast.

Oh, you mean Castle of Cagliostro. Not really a Ghibli movie. Never watched it but I should one day even though I hated this new movie and the annoying Lupin himself

Escape Room 2

7/10 nice bit of escapism. Would be better if the provided a small two minute visual backstory of some of the new players.
Good ending, looking forward to the sequel.

Tango & Cash (1989) 7/10

No not trolling, really enjoyed it. Proper 80’s action & thrills. High on entertainment. Good quotability & chemistry from Stallone & Russell.

 

[FiestaST]

Just dropped, procuring as we speak. Very much a McAvoy fan.

Together (2021) 6.5/10

Not fully what I was expecting. All about monologues & fourth wall breaks. Lots of emotion & very "real", just not memorable.
