Movie review - Spiral: From the Book of Saw

Spiral: From the Book of Saw

Director: Darren Lynn Bousman

Writers: Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger

Actors: Chris Rock, Samuel L. Jackson and Max Minghella

My guess: 6,5? - 2020? (5,2 - 2021)

My Points: 6,5 - 3+/5

Well, this movie was... Shit? I mean, it wasn't the worst - but definately wasn't the best.

It was brutal, so if you like that - then you might like this one...

To me, it (brutality) wasn't "nice" - but it was "watchable".

The stars were surprise (which I knew before watching this), Chris "Detective Zeke Banks" Rock and Samuel "Marcus" L. "Banks" Jackson in "Saw" movie - nice!

The "traps" were nice, although they seemed to be little bit "over". They were way too complicated.

Alhough, I dont remember how they (traps) were in the other Saw movies - but the first one (2004) was very simple.

And nice, I have always liked that one - from the first time in movie theaters. Ofcourse the "first watch" was the best, 'cause you didn't know what's happening.

And the last twist, very nice!

So, the first movie is easily the best, these sequals and whatnot movies are just brainless.

Just to watch with "empty head".

But the first, I definately recommend to see that - instead of this travesty garbage...

Movie review - Superman Returns

Superman Returns

Director: Bryan Singer

Actors: Brandon Routh, Kevin Spacey and Kate Bosworth

My guess: 6,6? - 2008? (6,1 - 2006)

My Points: 7,4 - 3,5/5

Well, this was a good movie - very!

Brandon Routh was good as Clark Kent/Superman, but Kevin Spacey hit the pot - he was awesome as Lex Luthor!

Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane was a bit boring at the beginning, but as the movie got along - she became alot better/interesting. I wrote down, that Teri Hatcher & Amy Adams were alot better as Lois. But I gotta take that back, Kate were also very good.

The shuttle/plane scene was nice, as was the "Minigun (or the handgun) to the eye" - nice slowmo.

The scale model track were nice. Dont know was it real, or just made by special effects. But all the way, it was nice.

Superman & Lois had a nice "flying" moment, this movie were pretty emotional - I liked that. Did I cry? No... But I got emotional a couple of times, there were couple of nice scenes...

The brake "hoax" sabotage was funny. As Lex said, you cant never trust in just acting - better make it real. I laughed my ass off!

Kevin "wrong..!!" Spacey scene were nice, I liked it way back when I saw this for the first time (and in the trailer also...)!

The Piano scene, where it got figured out - that Jason White was Supermans son. I didn't like that - no, the piano flying was nice, but - that Superman has a son. That's lame!

Thankfully this movie didn't got sequel - where the son would have been older. Or if they are still making it, hopefully not. If they wanna persue that, maybe a TV show to Netflix or what ever... But a movie, where is also Superman - no thanks...

The beating of Superman, it was very grotesque - it was hard to watch. But kudos to the moviemakers.

This was a very good film, not just nerds - in my opion this suits to everybody, or maybe for young child this is too raw. And who doesn't like Superman! Definately a thumb up and recommendation from me...

Movie review - The Sentinel

The Sentinel

Director: Clark Johnson

Actors: Michael Douglas, Kiefer Sutherland, Kim Basinger, Eva Longoria and David Rasche

My guess: 6,8? - 2016? (6,1- 2006)

My Points: 7,2 - 3,5/5

From 7,7 points to 7,2 points, what a shame.

So this started good, it was very interesting - but the further we got, the boring it came. I indeed was going to give this about 7,7 points, but...

What a "pancake".

The actors were pretty damn good, and interesting. I'm not gonna mention them separately, 'cause they were equally good. You can find the actors on top of this review.

Although I gotta mention Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland, they're chemistry were damn good!

The movie proceed pretty good, and was exciting. Until this movie lost the grip, it became kinda boring... Which was a pity, 'cause this movie had high hope to be good.

So afterall, pretty strong beginning - but about the half way, this kinda started to suck. What a pity indeed...

Movie review - A Star Is Born

A Star Is Born

Director: Bradley Cooper

Actors: Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper and Sam Elliott

My guess: 6,8? - 2020? (7,6 - 2018)

My Points: 7,2 - 3,5/5

This movie contains great music, that's why I like this movie so much. The way Ally (Lady Gaga) and Jack (Bradley Cooper) met, was nicely done and intresting. All the way to the end, which sadly ended badly (I dont spoil that)!

The main stars (Gaga & Cooper) were good, but I also liked Sam Elliott (Bobby) character. He did an excelent work as the older brother.

Ally's quitting of his job was good. I can quess, that many wants to do that (quit their job), but dont have the courage to do that. This movie maybe encourage to do that (if you really want...)!

Shallow was/and still is a great song! I also liked the other songs (which I'm though not gonna mention by name). Or one I can mention; Always Remember Us This Way - great song!

Dave "George 'Noodles' Stone" Chappelle was interesting character, I would love to see him more.

Then Ally started his single career, I didn't like it! The song were kinda terrible (maybe in intention), and the movie lost it's interest. But Jack rescued the bordom, by going haywire with his drinking.

The fights between Ally & Jack was good (at least to watch). When Ally won the price, Jack were amusing while he totter to the stage. And while he pissed all over his pants, I laughed my ass off!

Overall, great movie. I haven't seen the original (or the other version), I oughta do that. But they propably aint good as this, as they are old as... shit! I dont kinda like very old movies, from downward 80's.
