Chaos Walking (2021)
Enjoyable
I mean it wasn't great, but it doesn't deserve all the hate. It was an interesting premise that could have been executed better, but it was a good 2-hours distraction from everything that's going on in the world.
No Country for Old Men (2007)
The most intense slow movie without a point
This movie was incredibly slow moving yet it was not boring. I enjoyed the fact that you could never predict what Anton Chigurh would do next. Scenes that ordinarily wouldn't be tense were made to keep you on the edge of your seat. Lying in bed at night, getting a suitcase out an air vent, or taking a Sunday drive can all be intense experiences.
At the end of it all, there is no real point to the movie. I think the moral of the story is supposed to be that a bullet will always ricochet... not entirely sure. I don't usually enjoy movies with very little storyline, but I must admit, I quite enjoyed this one.
By the way, there is possibly nothing scarier than a psychopath with a bob haircut.
Watchmen (2009)
A dark, unexpected and profound experience
I started watching this movie without even having heard of Watchmen. I expected this to be like the many other comic book/graphic novel movies I had seen, it certainly wasn't, it was certainly the deepest and longest I had seen.
An hour into the movie I was wondering if anything was going to happen, then I saw that there was still another 2 hours to go! At around the 1 hour mark, things do begin to speed up. I think the movie could have been an hour shorter if it wasn't for all the drawn-out, slow-motion scenes.
I had a bit of a love/hate experience with this film, there were times when I was really enjoying it, and times when I wasn't. All-in-all, it was a good movie - some level intelligence is needed to fully appreciate it though.
The only thing that confused me was the fact that Matthew Goode's accent starts off being American and ends off being some weird British/Russian/American mix.
Only Lovers Left Alive (2013)
How?
How does this movie have such a high rating? I am a huge vampire movie fan, I am also a huge Tom Hiddleston fan, but I don't know how I managed to sit through this entire film. I would rather watch the Twilight series and Hotel Transylvania on repeat for 3 days.
Throughout the entire movie, I was waiting for something exciting to happen, some action, some humour, a twist, a turn... nothing happened. I eventually started laughing at the humour, that wasn't there, and found irony in everything. Once again, I don't understand the rating. The entire movie was slow, dark, boring and nothing ever seemed to happen.
I suppose I could read some depth into the movie about how stupid humans are and how they are ruining themselves and the environment, but that does not warrant the two hours I sat through this film.
Penelope (2006)
My new favourite movie!
I can't believe it took me so long to see this movie! I watched this movie and I was instantly in love (not just with James McAvoy).
I am someone who enjoys dark movies, and I despise romances, but this was just fantastic! The movie is ridiculous in some parts but at the same time, hilarious. You have to be heartless not to enjoy it!
Something I loved about it, which a lot of movies don't have these days, is a decent, conclusive ending. I could just watch this movie over and over again.
I have been searching everywhere for a movie that is like this, and I've come to the conclusion that Penelope is a one of a kind movie and there is nothing else like it.
This Is the End (2013)
Unbearable
I wish I could give it a rating lower than 1! If you are looking for something intelligent or a good storyline, don't watch this. This is supposed to be a comedy, I may have blown some air out my nose in amusement near the beginning, that was the extent of what I found funny in the movie.
I like the actors in this film and when I started watching it, I thought it would be good fun. Not even half way into the movie I was just wishing it would end! If you are a Christian, it is not a good idea to watch this, it's so full of blasphemy, I found it unbearable. I always finish a movie, no matter how boring or stupid, this is the closest I've come to stopping the movie.
Mr. Bones (2001)
South Africans will love it!!
This movie is actually very funny...the only problem is that if you come from USA or some other place you will never understand the South African humour in it...so if you are from the US then dont watch it...you wont get it...but if you are from South Africa...youll love it...i really loved this movie...because i am South African, it shows alot of things that happen in south africa and it really made me laugh, so i definitely recommend it to any South African who hasnt already seen it...if there are any South Africans who havnt seen it... this movie has been bad mouthed by many Americans and people in other countries simply because they just dont get it... so South Africans...Go watch it!! of course there are those exceptions of people from other countries other than South Africa who have experienced South African life and who will enjoy it.
Yankee Zulu (1993)
Only South Africans can get the humour in this.
