Oldboy (2003) 9/10


Oldboy is a very interesting film, made by south-korean director/screenwriter/producer Chan-wook Park the movie is about a man who is captured and kept in isolation for 15 years, his only human interaction being television and the silent workers who feed him and keep his room in order. Oh Dae-su is released and must find out why he was imprisoned and get revenge on who did it, as well as find out why this happened to him.   


It touches on what it means to be human, life, and how some truths are best never uncovered. The acting is utterly fantastic from everyone involved and the action is pure bliss. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrqdbBZqT7U


Oh Dae-su isn't really a hero, I did root for him mostly throughout the film but he does more than a couple awful things to reach his goal of revenge. To be honest it would be best to describe Dae-su as at best an anti-hero and at worst an anti-villain, he becomes a monster.

VHS: Viral   


4/10


Uh, thinking about it I cant recall much. I cannot recall a single clip from it except the last (?) one, and that's because it just didnt feel right. There were a couple of skater dude-bros who, apparently, didnt care at all about people getting killed. The most they said upon the death of two of their companions was "do you feel as I do about gas money kid and the camera guy?" They also spent a decent amount of time just killing dudes with their skateboards. Like, they had an entire cult attacking them with blades and they were able to fend them off with skateboards. Just wasn't good.
 Of course, the VHS movies never were anything special but this one was just bad. There was nothing redeeming to it and the plot- Which does exists in these- Seemed to be largely confused.


I wouldn't recommend it.

Shaun of the Dead ~ 9/10

Holy hell, this was a good film.
Me and my friend watched it at midnight, after she told me it was the film that has scared her out of zombie movies since she was 9. I can kinda see why, but it was great nevertheless.


The acting, for one, was on pointe. And it was all very well played out. However, it was incredibly relatable, which was kinda sad. In the relatable to how British people would act during a zombie apocalypse kinda way.


I would give it a 10, but there was once scene where a character got eaten graphically, and I am still haunted 2 days on.

I wonder who it was

Might as well...

"Shawshank redemption" 9/10

Darn movie was awesome.

Take the hours of terminally depressing life in Shawshank prison, and then let it contrast against possibly one of the most moving and relieving prison escapes ever...

The levels of ΔF are unbelievable...

9/10. The [CONTENT REMOVED] documentary on Netflix.


It was very interesting. The whole topic (I guess) has a book on it as well. I got the book and I look forward to reading it.

Star wars: The Last Jedi

7.2/10

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm... hmm. They tried something different, and in some places that was the right direction and in others it was confusing. Full review in spoilers and will contain major spoilers for star wars episode 8

Spoiler for Hidden:

  So one of the things that I thought was particularly strange about the movie is how almost ALL the bad things were the fault of the heroes, and basically the movie can be summarized as a series of screw ups by the rebel alliance. Let us go forth with all the problems.

  Poe: Poe (the rebel pilot) is, in actuality, the villain of this movie in a way because, when you think about it, he causes more deaths then any other character within the entire star wars movie. It was Poe's idea, despite being ordered not to, to destroy the star destroyer, which he did at great cost to the entire bombing fleet, let us assess the losses from this battle:
  - The first order loses one of there, at least 5, destroyers.
  - The rebel fleet lose most of their ships and their entire bomber fleet.
 Doesn't really seem like a tactical mood eh? Poe also caused the deaths of most of the rebel transport ships flying to the planet, because it was his idea that he supported to get Finn and the Rose to the Snoke's ship, which turned out to be entirely unnecessarily, and it was Finn's capture that caused them to detect the rebel transport ships and shoot them down. The only good thing Poe did was to find an escape route once they were on the planet, but overall the rebel alliance would be much better off without Poe.

  Finn: Finn didn't do cause lives to be lost, but he did contribute nothing to the rebel alliance throughout the movie. In fact, the entire Finn storyline is him failing to do anything, he fails to get the code cracker off the casino planet, he fails to sneak onto snoke's ship and he fails to destroy the battering ram cannon, altogether finn was just an utter failure who couldn't do anything right.

  Rose: Roses salvation of Finn was entirely unnecessary, and if she died would be even more unnecessary. She risked her own life, and the lives of ALL the other rebels, just to save Finn's life. I know it's meant to be poetic but it's a really stupid move. Especially when you consider Finns past failures.

  The captain: The acting captain of the Rebel ship failed to tell Poe of her plan for no reason, which helped influence Poe **censor** up totally. Also, she sacrificed two ships of people for a plan that ultimately ended up mostly failing, so great job, you're the true hero.

  There are so many other cases where the characters **censor** up, snoke being unable to detect kylo moving his lightsaber, rey getting tricked by snoke and kylo, kylo failing as always to stop the under armed and undermanned rebel alliance, the movie was just people messing up, that's how it was summarized.

  But I like how the movie was unexpected, snoke dying was interesting and rey's parents being no one interesting was also a nice touch. So yeah, just a bit of a weird film

starwars XIII: The Last Jedi (for real this time) 7/10 SPOILER FREE: so a lot of people are getting upset right now but i really didn't like the 3-story-line action as it was hard to follow and remember that StarWars is a kids movie, the comedic parts were coming too fast after each other its like action followed by comedy followed by 1 min action before another comedic part, which is not spaced out well. next im getting into spoilers so if you dont mind spoilers or already seen it just press the spoilers box

Spoiler for SWXIIITLJ:

okay lets all first say, yes i know the actor of princess Leia sadly died, but because of this fact i thought Leia would die as well, but she didn't she was just unconscious for a few parts of the movie and awoken again, which just confused me as she awoke way too fast it was like: "we still have the content of the last part of the movie with her in it lets use it in memory of Carrie Fisher" which i understand but still it has to make sense which it doesn't. also the casino scene had absolutely nothing to do with the plot and if it didn't happen the movie would've been the same. now for some positive things: I liked the relation between Finn and Rose, they're so cute together, Rey and Kylo fall into this cuteness as well. the lessons Luke taught Rey were also really good, and the changes Luke needed to go through with burning the Jedi relics and then Joda was one of the best comedic parts and i loved Joda in this movie

Hacksaw Ridge (2016)

One of Mel Gibson his finer works.
It's easy for moviemakers to skip the story and immediatly go over to the action on the battlefield with tons of explosions and gunshots, eliminating all potential for a story solely for the purpose of making a quick buck and somekind of trophy if you make some political sentiments after the movie.

But that's not this movie, it is absolutely not.
There is depth in this movie, there is an actual story and it's not a cheesy one.
The character development is on point and even late in the movie you still learn more about the maincharacter and you start to understand his motive why he refuses to carry a gun in WW2.

How about the supporting cast? Vince Vaughn knows how to do his role and you're starting to forgive him for appearing in awful Hollywood cash grabbing comedies and you in fact see the full potential of Vince, somehting I was deeply surprised by and now I have respect for him.

I'm on purpose not telling alot about the story because in my opinion you have to experience and discover it, the trailer itself is also on point.
You can see the trailer and movie being done in the same style and both keep their honour.

A 9/10, for a well-done based on real-life movie, a movie I must say: for the love of God, watch this one!

Zootopia. 10/10.

[lightstone]

ferdinand 7/10 especially the later half when they realized "wait it's a cartoon" and started to use cartoon physics, although there are areas where you think i need to cry i just didn't and im sensitive for crying over a movie believe it or not. one major plus point it gets is the humor the  jokes didn't feel forced at all (like in SWXIIITLJ it felt forced) and actually sometimes where in the story like the introduction with una dos and qoutro its a joke all in but in the end it had effect on the story also there are these 3 German horses providing the best line in the movie "Was is das moo" which is German for ""what is that moo" are clearly there just for humor but they also were an obstacle in the story later on and im just gonna say it John Cena shouldn't become a voice actor i think he did poorly if im gonna be honest

The Last Jedi 8/10


The Last Jedi is a film with more than a couple issues, I could spend hours harking on the republic and how its demise made no sense (That is more of a force awakens thing tho) But overall I greatly enjoyed the film.


One thing I had a problem with (my nerd is gonna show here) is when Rey is first being trained by Luke, she meditates and for the first time begins truly feeling the force flow through her. Afterwards she mentions that she couldn't sense Luke because he had cut himself off from the force.   


The issue here is the force is in everyone, no matter if you are sensitive to it or not. It is fully possible within the lore for a force sensitive person to have their powers cut off, the Jedi exile in Knights of the old Republic 2 lost his and or her connection (least partially) after the battle of Malachor. More famously, Ulic Qel-Droma was stripped of his connection when Nomi Sunrider used the Sever Force technique on him as punishment for his part in the great hyperspace war.


Carrie Fisher was at her best in this film, everyone was at their best. It offered great character development for everyone, Finn seemingly getting the most/best IMO. 


I would have preferred the film to touch on darker edges as Star Wars has proven it can do the dark really, really well (Darth Bane book trilogy, The New Jedi Order series, the Kotor games) even the previous films had darker elements. I'm not saying that the movie had to have a more serious tone, I would have preferred it but that's just me.     


Edit: I think Snoke could have been a lot more than he was, won't spoil anything but I will say he is no Palpatine

Call me by your name: 7.8/10

  Call me by your name is a queer romance involving a 17 year old boy and a 24 year old man. What makes this movie interesting is it transcends that of sexuality, age and so forth, the themes are primarily about romance, loss and coming-of-age with sexuality. It has some relatively... odd scenes to say the least, but all are grounded within the philosophical context of the film. The movie is both happy, cute, saucy and sad, it can take on a lot of emotions and does a really good job of capturing certain emotions that I'm sure a lot of you (especially those in Long distance relationships) have felt before. The ending and soundtrack in particularly are beautifully somber, making this movie definitely a more "artsy" but indeed worth while film.

Snowtown 7.0/10

  Despite giving this movie a rating of 7/10 I don't think I could in the right mind recommend it to anyone. Snowtown is perhaps the most disturbing film I have ever seen, despite seeing movies such as Cannibal holocaust and A serbian film. Snowtown is a movie about the Snowtown murders that occurred in Australia, there is not much about the nature of this movie that I can discuss without it going over PG-13. The movie itself, mind you, doesn't actually show that much gore or graphic violence (there are a few scenes of extreme violence throughout) but it is the nature of humanity, the gritty realism of the movie and the believability of it, and the fact that it actually DID happen, that make the movie so disturbing. With movies like cannibal holocaust the violence seems somewhat unrealistic, but here in snowtown we're shown the worst parts of humanity, and not in a way that vilifies them, in a way that makes you realize people, anyone, could be capable of this, I guess it's just frightening in that way. I don't think I'll watch it again, but it was an overall good movie, with a great soundtrack.
