Holmes & Watson (2018)

Pissed myself laughing

[10/10 · 1 October 2021]

Watched the first ten minutes so far and it's hilarious how they take the piss out of everything.

No idea if the dubbed parts are deliberate (i think they are) but they add to the hilarity for me.

2 Americans shidding all over a holy saint of a character like Sherlock Holmes.

Amazing...

Will update later.

Part deux (that is french for part 2)

We Bought a Zoo (2011)

It is soooo bad lol i am laughing but hol crapperino

DO NOT WATCH!!!

The story idea = good/nice fun

The Movie = a horrible mockery of a good drama movie

Trust me, if you respect these actors and want to appreciate them for their great work do not watch this.

Watch Instead: White Wash Dogma ( unironically better story progression) Any cape shid movie Any Matt Damon movie

also am i the only one that notices how bad the CGI has gotten the past decade?

Whitewash (I) (2013)

Do you like movies?

[10/10 · 7 September 2021]

Then watch this and ignore all the bs reviews.

The story is pretty depressing, yet makes you laugh at the misfortune.

It is great and at times exhillerating.

Even when you finally figure out what's going on it might still surprise you.

Go watch it, it's entertaining.

( not a party movie )

The Death of Stalin (2017)

Fuggin wheezin!

[10/10 · 5 September 2021]

This movie is very funny, it gets dark at times but it really feels like somebody is telling you a good story.

Love the acting and love the comedic effect of the exaggerated characters.

Everything looks proper and like a biographical movie but it is anything but.

The main lines of the story are true and so are the horrible deeds and fear people felt under the regime, but this movie will make you laugh at death as if it's nothing.

I guess that's how people cope with continuous stress and fear.

They laugh at it what else can you do?

Die Hard (1988)

Your Son's favorite Christmas movie :)

[10/10 · 5 September 2021]

That's pretty much all I got to say.

It's a movie to watch with your son around Christmas to break the monotony of all the jingles and bells and mariah carey crap songs.

Also Harry Potter's mean goth teacher, Alan Rickman as Snape, shows up as the perpetually annoyed Hans Gruber.

This movie is great full of action, pucker moments, jokes and you can really watch it any day, but it's great to watch on Christmas.

Yippie Kay Yay MF ;)

Fence Short Film (2018)

20 minutes to waste?

[10/10 · 26 August 2021]

Well go find this film on youtube and watch it.

It's entertaining enough and quite professional.

I hope to see more of this type of stuff and more from these actors.

I wonder if this would have been as good in a longer format but nevertheless good story, fun soundtrack and proper acting.

Peaky Blinders (2013–2022)

The Music ruins it for me.

[2/10 · 4 July 2021]

Dont get me wrong i like music in films and tv shows but this is just too much.

Maybe you are different and love that aspect of it.

I really dont get the hype, Cillian Murphy is a great actor.

This i can't get into.

Shot Caller (2017)

What you see on the cover is what you get.

[10/10 · 4 July 2021]

Great movie, very honest about how life can take a ride with you and drag you into places you didnt intend to go.

The acting is great and the progression of the characters too.

Little to no distraction with nonsense that isnt relevant to the story.

A lot of movies will have useless scenes that add nothing.

Do we really need to see the main characters family in great detail to understand that he loves them?

No of course not and this movie understands that.

It sticks to the story and the story is about the Shot Caller.

You will enjoy it.

Kinda reminds me of Blood in Blood Out but more compact.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)

Best of the Tolkien movies

[10/10 · 4 July 2021]

Best of the Tolkien movies and easiest to get into.

The older Tolkien movies are not for everybody.

Anyways, besides not following the book word for word and taking liberties with characters (for no reason) it's still onenof the greatest fantasy adventures of All time and not just because the story is so great and it is a great story, but also because of the great effort of the cast and crew.

Gorgeous special effects and the life the characters are given by all the hardwork... no 2 dimensial boring characters that you cant empathize with.

Anyways I'd advise you to read the book after the movie so you can appreciate the story even more.

They did butcher the legendary work of Tolkien in a way, but you cant expect more from Hollywood.

Just look at the upcoming TV series... it's going to be all about pandering to bs politics and not about enjoyment.

I wish they'd stop cheapening great Art for a few dollars, what is money really on the grand scheme of Human existence?

Anyways have fun and get some snacks and drinks that go with the story/movie you can find loads online.

Immersion is awesome.

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)

Not for everybody (load up on snacks, drinks and take pee breaks)

[10/10 · 4 July 2021]

It's slow, old, boring and not exciting.

That is what most people who dont watch a lot of movies probably think.

You dont watch this unless you love movies, you definitely dont watch this with a date or casual friends.

A movie for movie lovers full of humor and exaggerated characters.

Watch it, you won't regret it.

Joker (I) (2019)

Go on a trip, with a blind Chauffeur.

[10/10 · 4 July 2021]

This movie is great, painful and sad.

I don't think it's a movie for everybody at any time but if you want to watch something that tricks you and makes you rethink your life and how you see others then this is a great watch.

Joaquin Phoenix is great in this and it more or less reminds me of a more insane version of Her.

It's a trip and the driver lost his marbles.

So you better strap in ;)
