Rick + Morty in the Eternal Nightmare Machine (2021)
Cool Concept for a Game
Very nice idea, which could be a basis for a great Pixel Game. As an "episode" of Rick and Morty it is OK at best as it really has no story or dept.
Interesting to watch but not at the same level as the Rick and Morty animated series.
The Wheel of Time (2021)
Underrated
This is a good or even excellent series as long as you don't assume it to be an exact copy of the books. Main story is still the same. Visuals work as well. Certainly story and character could use some extra depth but still a good series if you enjoy fantasy.
As a sidenote read maybe 8 books 20 years ago and really enjoyed them. Can't remember the details but I still recognize the main plot etc.
Cobra Kai (2018)
From suspicious to almost a fan
Was a kid when I saw the original Karate Kid, which was extremely popular at the time. First when I heard the movie had a spin off series I was extremely suspicious. How could it be any good at all? A spin off? Why?
Even after seeing good reviews and high rating I rejected the idea of watching a show with such a bad premise.
However I was pleasantly surprised right from the get go. The show is actually great and story evolves around second chances but also tells a the story from both sides. There is no black and white but colors of gray. No-one is totally evil or good. It was refreshing to how the "bully" got the opportunity to tell his side of the story.
Suits even for grown ups even if involves some teen romance ;)
Legion (2017)
Second season maybe be different in atmosphere but still excellent
Decided to give my two cents as I noticed there are plenty of people who feel the second season was a let down. In my opinion it really is not. Certainly the vibe of the series changes as horror does not play as big part of the series as on first season. This however does not really mean second season is bad, it is far from bad. Not necessarily as good as season one but still great and very unique show and most certainly worth watching.
Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood (2019)
Not everyone's cup of tea
This movie was rather disappointing. Star actors, best movie director, great depiction of 60's style, good music but still the movie was a lackluster.
The movie has not plot, no goal to reach, things don't really develop and nothing really happens. Yeah finally in the last 20 mins something happens but even that was too gory even if slightly shocking to my taste.
I feel like I should give better rating to such a fantastic film director but even 6 is too much if I am totally honest. It is not a bad film per se but it just does not have the soul like his other films have.
Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020)
Lion of Love stole the Show (Dan Stevens)
As a European I felt this movie nailed the atmosphere of Eurovision superbly.
I felt movie had many hilarious moments and even if Ferrell and Adams did a great job I have to say Dan Stevens was the start of the show. Simply brilliant performance as the Russian Ambassador of Love.
Film also has several rather catchy songs, which easily could have been successful Eurovison songs.
In overall funny and lighthearted movie.
Army of the Dead (2021)
Reactived my account after 10 years to review this pile of...
There is not much when it comes to story or plot. Writing is simply bad. Film has no tension, no good villain and no reason to be afraid or care about anyone. Side kick villains are caricatures and we don't really about the main villain either.
Bautista's character is allright as main hero.
Visually film is good. Music is weird almost comedy like and does not really suit to the movie.
I guess this film had lot of potential but execution is utterly boring and bad.
Bad Moms (2016)
Why the praises? Lame and boring jokes
Simply a horrible "comedy" I would not call this piece of rubbish a comedy as it was such an awkward display of poor imagination and writing. The movie was so bad that I even decided to write my first review just to warn other regular Joe's like me.
I guess I laughed once or twice but most of the joke were just so lame and cheap. They really did not make me laugh at all. Maybe this is a gender or mom thing but if you are an average man like me just skip this rubbish. The film is not worth watching and especially not worth going to movies. Don't waste your time or money on this film.
Maybe worth some Razzie awards? Otherwise you would have to be mental to praise this movie in any way.
Big disappointment as normally IMDb review's give a relatively good estimation of how good the movie is but this movie does not deserve the rating of 6,7 in any existing world.
[Rec] (2007)
Something annoying
Leading woman character was very annoying. She constantly nagged to cameraman about something and was very sentimental and irrational.
When it comes to the movie itself it was not nearly as terrifying that some claim. I would say it was more unintentionally funny than horrifying. Also what bugs me was the irrationality of some individuals. With a solid game plan they would have been able to avoid the whole catastrophe. OK, I can understand it would be hard to be rational when you life is in threat but then again you have to be unless you want to die.
Last minutes were very creepy thought I admit.
