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.

Movie review - The Northman

The Northman

Director: Robert Eggers

Actors: Alexander Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman, Claes Bang, Anya Taylor-Joy, Ethan Hawke and Willem Dafoe

My guess: 7,7? - 2020? (7,1 - 2022)

My Points: 8,3 - 4/5

This movies beginning, reminded too much  Conan the Barbarian (1982). It (Conan) is a great movie, but I didn't like the resemble. But when this movie got up to speed, I liked it - very much!

The campfire scene where very strange, I kinda didn't like it - it indeed was too strange. The field game though was nice.

Nicole Kidman seemed a little bit useless, but when the movie got ahead, she became a valuable actor.

Ethan Hawke & Willem Dafoe where kinda useless. I like both of them, but their roles were way too short...

One of the speech, reminded lots of Gladiator (2000), and the movie resemble lots of Skyrim & GoT. But, why not take good part of something other that is good - and use it on your own movie. Everybody does that! At least if you dont steal it tasteless - this movie didn't take it like that. Even though this took parts of other entertainment, it was classically good!

Torture scene seemed to be brutal (lots of blood & sweat), but it wasn't... It was kinda relief, 'cause it look a very brutal - but they ended it, before it even started!

'Magical' parts were kinda ridicilous, although they were pretty cool. I haven't (always) never liked 'magical' things in movies, but... I can accept them, cause they're almost always nice looking!

The end "ash" fight at the end were very fine and beatiful, I liked it very much!

Alexander Skarsgård and Anya Taylor-Joy were good actors, their relationship were nicely build up.

Overall, a great movie - which I recommend to everyone to see. But if you dont like blood & core, then you could maybe avoid this movie.

Movie review - Léon

Léon

Director: Luc Besson

Actors: Jean Reno, Gary Oldman and Natalie Portman

My guess: 8,9? - 1994? (8,5 - 1994)

My Points: 9,2 - 4,5/5

Well, first; this might be the best movie ever - for my opinion. Then second, this is just an awesome movie!

The chemistry between Jean Reno and Natalie Portman is awesome. Not forgetting Gary Oldman, hes maybe the best role ever.

The good parts? Well, I liked the milk -& plant portion. The guessing game was fun. Sniper scene were also cool (and nice)!

The end scene shooting out were also very well done, I liked it very much. The anti-drugs view was good.

Overall an awesome movie, the ending were pretty damn good - both what happened to Jean -& Natalies character.

If you havent seen this movie yet, it's about a pretty good time to see it! Maybe it will become your favorite movie, liked it is mine.

All seen movies
