Unfaithful- 2002.
She should have stayed home & banged Richard Gere instead. Once you look past Paul's hot body & pretty face, he's sleazy. Nothing more than a certain kind of boy with a capital F. |
Star Wars - Episode 7 (2015)
9 Would've given it a 10 if they didn't recycle a couple of old scenes. |

I heard there is another Bigfoot movie that's supposed to be good. I think it's directed by a singer turned director if I remember right. |

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
http://i65.tinypic.com/muhgz9.jpg MY REVIEW WITH VERY MINOR SPOILERS Not simply a follow up story of MAN OF STEEL (2013), BvS: DOJ is more of a DC's formal first take to introduce its cinematic universe in a desperate attempt against the continuing huge success of MARVEL's establishments so far. And like Rome, MCU also wasn't built in a day. So, it was a huge task for Snyder & his team to live up to the expectations of finally bringing DCs 2 most beloved & 'World's finest' superheroes together on the screen for the very first time. The stake was high but the wait was long due... The movie kicks off with Bruce Wayne's perspective on the destructive battle between Superman & General Zod and his ideology as well as different popular opinions regarding whether our world is ready to deal with or have a place for such a super powerful & independent man from another planet which have been destroyed already. From that point the whole first half was all about this introduction & build up of all the major characters & the basic plot line of the story. The approach & execution in response to that plan wasn’t perfect but at least they didn’t rush to show & introduce so many things all together at a time.The second half comes with the most anticipated & "the greatest gladiator match in history"...and that's the best part of the movie, IMO (though they stupidly already gave away most of those scenes in the clips, teasers & trailers officially released online). This was a much better 2nd half than MOS; liked the way they put & justified Lex Luthor's plan behind all this along with his back up plan of introducing a common threat where Gal Gabot as Wonder Woman mostly steals the show. But yeah...there were some aspects that I like to point out as the disappointments or failures. First of all, I didn't get why Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal of Lex Luthor strangely borrowed elements or character attributes from "Joker"?! At times it was indeed felt like watching a character blend of Luthor & Joker. Luthor is not only Superman’s one of the major villains in the comic book stories who as 'a smart ass evil genius' often carefully team up with other popular & alien bad guys to fight against even the Justice League...his characterization doesn't need to look like smarter or more devilish than what he already is in the comics or animated series. Eisenberg tried too hard here, I guess the responsibility for making him like a "Lex-Joker-Luthor" mostly goes to the writers. My 2nd disappointment was about the major elements of the popular DC Batman & Superman stories that they borrowed or get influenced by here. Not only the title itself, director Snyder even admitted in numerous interviews while making this movie that Frank Miller's epic THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS would play a major influential role in this movie, which was more than fine enough to digest & enjoy in this very first encounters between the Batsy & the Sup. But the thing that surprised me here when there was another very popular story arc emerges at the very end & heavily impacted the story & the ending. Definitely it wasn't necessary to borrow elements from 2 very fan favorite stories & then blend them together in this very first film of DCCU & the prequel story of JUSTICE LEAGUE; as if DC is running out of time to tell all the great stories at once & catch up with the MARVEL(!). As a whole, the ending was too much off beat & comes so early in the series. ***MAJOR SPOILERS*** This Death by Doomsday here was less convincing, felt simply staged and thus failed to deliver the appeal of really losing a great hero like him like the way that original Doomsday story delivered at that point. I was expecting Aquaman will appear from that pit with the kryptonite spear and finish the job and later all of them going to have a special meeting somewhere else other than a shawarma restaurant ::wink:: and decide to form the League for any future threat like this.**Major SPOILER ENDS*** Lastly, the way Luthor as 'Frankenstein' launched Doomday here…was merely convincing even for the die hard DC fans! It was like one of those 60s & 70s Hammer's Dracula & Frankenstein story arcs…where sometime a drop of blood was enough for a "creation or resurrection of a pure evil"! The screenplay was alright but sometime their frantic effort to make every single line sounded like an epic play was evident. Last but not the least, though I was one of those Batfleck haters but kudos to Ben Affleck for giving his best efforts to portray a credible Bruce Wayne & Batman here, as I still think there are much better actors out there to play this most iconic comic book action hero of all time. Loved Jeremy Irons' portrayal of Alfred also, as at times some of his style of dialog delivery & voice work highly reminded me of the greatest horror movie icons of all time…Sir Boris Karloff! Overall, Snyder's BvS was a safe & decent effort, nothing much spectacular but at least he didn't ruined it this time like the heavy chaotic ending of MAN OF STEEL; surely it could have been a pure epic extravaganza but still & at least it was better than what I anticipated after all the recent negative reviews from the movie critiques. >>: B+ (Though it may hardly deserve a B/B- but my fanboy inside liked to gave it that B+) |
"The Forrest" (2016) 7/10
Slow and filled with dumb-ass actions, but all in all it was an alright watch. |

![]() 9/10 This was such a joy to watch...well, no it wasn't and that's kind of the point. So refreshing to see a horror film that takes its time to build a very deep, piercing visceral sense of dread rather than rely on cheap bang scare tactics or gross-out scenes (not that they don't have their place in some horror). Much like The Shining or Lord of the Flies, this is a magnificent study of the darkness that emerges when humans are set in an isolated environment. It's about the hypocrisy involved in a dogmatic lifestyle, and the toxic combination of shame and pride. The attention to detail and authenticity in representing the time period was phenomenal and really contributed to the atmosphere - particularly the lighting. The score and the cuts between scenes were sublimely discordant and unsettling. There are very few scary "moments" in this film and it is VERY purposefully paced, but I was absolutely on edge throughout. ![]() 7.5/10 Another brilliant example of the horror of humans in close quarters. I thought the central cast did a very good job. M E-W was her usual self, the guy who played Emmet did a brilliant job of making him likeable and Goodman..well, Goodman was Goodman. Who would want to find themselves in a bunker with Goodman? I'm enjoying the direction that the series is going - the stories of ordinary people on the periphery of monster chaos. The film is mostly very captivating throughout, and the BEGINNING of the third act had me on the edge of my seat. Then...well, it lets itself down. Doesn't know when to end. The use of the confined space was very good, and you very quickly come to find the bunker as both a place of safe comfort, but also one of frightening closeness - all thanks to the ever present threat of Goodman. I was worried the trailer had given away too much about what I THOUGHT would be the ending, but I was very thankfully mistaken. |

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
I'm not a huge comic book movie fan, but I have liked the past few comic book movies I've seen (Deadpool, Ant-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy...), and I just so happened to find yet another one that I like. Personally, I'm getting ready for Civil War next month by watching The Winter Soldier, and if the next Captain American movie is as good as this one, there's nothing to worry about. In The Winter Soldier, Steve Rodgers is trying to adjust to the modern world until a conspiracy involving SHIELD comes to light, but Cap also has to team up with Black Widow to battle another threat: The Winter Soldier. To me, Captain America has always been the most interesting Avenger because of how he was forced to leave behind his old life and friends, especially his old lover Peggy Carter, and adjust to life in the 21st century. It allows him to be more than just a roided-up superhero with a cool shield, and his struggle with readjustment is explored well in this movie. He also has to deal with a myriad of other significant issues like SHIELD and the Winter Soldier. The political conspiracy plot in particular adds a lot of suspense and twists to the story to make it consistently thrilling while the Winter Soldier provides a lot of great action sequences. His character is mysterious throughout the film, and he's definitely one of the better Marvel movie villains. Captain America: The Winter Soldier should certainly please even the most casual comic book movie viewer with its intense action, great plot and witty writing. I think I might need to binge watch all the MCU movies before Infinity War comes out next year. 9/10 |
