Behaving Badly (2014)
I can't give a bad grade to this
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
Very classic teen comedy drama that drives kids everywhere crazy because it has a type of comedy designed specifically for the young generations of that period, stuff that now only embarrasses people. Once upon a time it was very funny and, having grown up in those years, I look at these films with an uncritical eye because this rubbish amuses me precisely because these films were quite present in my youth. Having said this preface, I must say that this film is clearly horrendous but I still can't give it a negative rating.
The Kids Are All Right (2010)
Nice
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
This film is very particular because it decided to take the concept of romantic comedy and make it become abstruse and absurd and it succeeded well because the film is extremely fun and entertaining and all the narrative arcs are well structured for almost the entire film, I say almost because the ending didn't fully convince me because it seems almost drawn out compared to the rest of the film and it's a real shame because this could have been one of the sweetest comedies I've ever seen but it can't be completely so because the ending is not all of this is great.
Gojira -1.0 (2023)
Wondefull
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
Finally a Godzilla film that lives up to his name, after the ridiculous Americana of recent years we have finally been given a film worthy of the saga it represents and generally worthy of the cinematic history that this enormous monster represents. The film is really very enjoyable and also focuses a lot on all the personal issues of the protagonists and not just on the huge rectangle and this greatly enriches the plot which automatically becomes very deep. In conclusion I want to say that if you are a fan of Godzilla you cannot miss this film for any reason in the world.
La bambola di Satana (1969)
Like Scooby Doo but worse
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
This film is like a very violent episode of Scooby Doo where there is the ghost who actually just wants the money and you immediately understand who the real villain is and in general the entire nature of the film. It just has to be said that the film is quite boring and repetitive and it's not worth watching at all, that is, in the end it's entertaining if you take it as an episode of Mystery Inc. And not as serious stuff, but the film wants to be serious and as a thriller as it wants to be taken it is worth absolutely nothing.
Saint Amour (2016)
Very French
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
Really interesting and very French comedy that revolves around two apparently very distant factors, wine and the family relationship between father and son. The beauty of this film is incredibly intrinsic because not only does it superficially make you laugh but it tries to teach something, a great personal growth of all the characters, both the main and secondary ones, until reaching one of the strangest endings I have ever seen. So in summary, the film is extremely good and I recommend it to all those who are passionate about French comedies.
Columns the Movie (2022)
Garbage
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
This film is one of those films made on a very low budget and I don't blame it, but if you don't have money you don't make science fiction stuff where the special effects are disgusting and the actors stare into space randomly waving their hands half the time . Then among all the actors there was at least one decent one, no, absolutely not, all the actors are pitiful and disgusting and the plot is very senseless. So to recap, this independent film doesn't have it right, incompetent actors without the slightest talent that perhaps a stone still would have been better at, horrid special effects and a plot that perhaps couldn't be more terrible. And there's no excuse that it's independent because brains, at least decent actors and a pen to write a good plot don't cost much.
The Escapist (2008)
Nice
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
I'll start by saying that I rarely don't like a film about prison, especially when it's about escape and this for me is no exception and ranks in a very good place among those very enjoyable films that manage to slightly innovate an already seen and tested plot such as the very normal prison escape. Meanwhile, the dynamics between the inmates is done very well and the narrative system based on the past and present at the same time enriches the film a lot and the ending is just wow, I mean, I didn't expect that such a normal film could reveal itself to be so profound in the ending.
The Prophecy 3: The Ascent (2000)
Normal
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
Let me start by saying that I saw this film without watching any of its predecessors and therefore I will evaluate the film as unique without evaluating its value within the saga precisely because I couldn't. So even though I haven't seen the film's predecessors, the plot is really very linear and understandable and the genre is a very normal paranormal action with many twists that enrich the plot quite a bit. In general the film is very enjoyable but also very banal, it is a classic film that is sufficient and nothing more, it seems that there is not too much effort, just the minimum to bring the proverbial paycheck home.
Vampire's Kiss (1988)
The masterpiece of Cage's absurd acting
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
I'm happy that this film has at least a passing grade in the ratings but in my opinion it deserves a little more because it represents the highest peak of Cage's absurd and over the top acting, who puts his heart and soul into seeming as mad as possible and succeeds in doing so. Brilliantly, all the expressions and little things he does contribute to the absurdity of the film. So I have to say that this is truly something to watch because there's a lot to laugh about and all thanks to the protagonist because yes the plot is cute and funny but the acting really adds the icing on the cake.
1408 (2007)
Beautiful
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
Few modern horror films are made like this, a masterpiece of anxiety and tension, a growing psychological drama that anguishes and scares without ever dropping your attention. This film has the particularity of captivating you from start to finish without allowing you to be distracted for a moment. We should make more horror films like these, without jumscare and without cheap stuff to try to scare but which in the end is just embarrassing. Horror that proves that an idea, a good interpretation and a single room are enough to scare someone terribly.
Ready to Kill (1994)
Terrible
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
I really don't have the faintest idea what to say about this film other than that it represents one of the highest mountains of absolute banality, the film is very banal, tremendously banal, so banal that it puts you to sleep and this certainly doesn't play for an action film. Very much in his favor. The plot is very boring and the staging is terribly slow and discontinuous and therefore a film that could have been a very normal but valid action film turns out to be very complicated stuff to watch and without the slightest desire or inspiration.
Funny Games (2007)
Wow
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
Finally a horror film with crazy psychopaths that creates very high psychological tension without falling into the usual cliques. The plot is really very classic, it's the usual murderers who enter other people's houses and try to kill everyone, but the staging of this banality is so beautiful and effective that it almost makes you forget that in the end it's a very normal horror film with murderers. The film is also very particular thanks to the continuous twists and the shattering of the fourth wall because the really interesting thing is that the protagonists (the murderers) are very aware of being in a film and do everything just to impress the viewer.
Moby Dick (1956)
Wonderfull
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
Film entered into the history of cinema that tells one of the most famous stories ever told, that of Captain Ahab. The film itself is highly entertaining and holds up very well to its years, remaining impressive and very high tension even many years after its release, proof that when someone makes an excellent film it manages to remain impervious to the passing of time while always remaining best quality. The plot of the film is very beautiful and very simple and also very well known and the staging is practically perfect.
Hijos del viento: Entre la luz y las tinieblas (2000)
wonderfull
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
In my opinion this film is quite underrated and it's a real shame because it's really quite entertaining, funny and even if not too inspired it's really very valid, in my opinion it not only deserves full satisfactory but rather it deserves a very, very much more than sufficient rating because it succeeds It's a good idea not to get bored by producing a film about the history of a very important period but one that has little context in terms of cinematography compared to many others. The film is beautiful both for the actors who play in it and for the historical characters who appear, all truly amazing and truly well characterised.
Kill Mode (2020)
Terrible
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
Let's start by saying that the cover of this film is really very beautiful and gives the impression of a big film, then you read the plot and think ok it could be a banal but still acceptable science fiction film and finally you watch this film to simply discover that it is in in reality a horrible Z-series movie with horrible special effects and acting that always seems like they're reluctantly reading a text they don't like. So the film is worth watching if you want to laugh for the wrong reasons and complain because even a trained gorilla would have been better at acting. In conclusion therefore the film is a useless waste of time and I say, if you don't have money to make this kind of film and to pay good actors then why do you persist in making them.
Il sorpasso (1962)
Gne
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
This is a classic road movie from times gone by, the plot is therefore very simple because it is simply a journey that our protagonists undertake and at least one of them grows and changes during this journey. Having said that, the film is a light comedy and also quite banal but still quite entertaining. Now, however, we need to talk about the ending because the film is really insipid and banal without many twists until the very necessary final twist arrives which surprises and in my opinion disappoints because damn the ending is unnecessary.
Adagio (2023)
Wonderfull
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
Big film full of Italian actors which, as the title says, is extremely slow and also quite complex. Obviously we start by saying that the acting performances are truly magnificent and that the plot is interesting and very nice even if let's say that you can guess more or less where it's going from the beginning and you can also understand the ending. Then there are two environmental things, one very nice and particular and the other without particular sense, the nice and particular one is the fact that Rome burns in the background because the enormous fire gives a truly beautiful setting to the film, but the fact that every The lights go out anyway, in my opinion it doesn't make sense and even if the reason for this is explained, it still doesn't add anything to the film.
The Menu (2022)
Wow
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
This film is an absolute masterpiece. Finally a thriller film done well, a beautiful psychological thriller that manages to understand and crown the genre well. The total beauty of the film also inevitably comes from the sublime interpretation of the actors who make this psychological drama even deeper. I recommend watching this film to anyone because it is a truly unmissable masterpiece. In conclusion I can only say that I didn't expect all this magnificence from the now saturated panorama of thrillers and instead this film is wow.
The Happening (2008)
Gne
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
In my opinion this film is quite underrated and should be rewarded at least for the originality of the plot and some scenes that make the situation strangely ridiculous. I think this film is one of those that entertains you a lot because so much senseless stuff happens that it's really strangely spectacular. So the film is definitely worth watching with friends because it is unintentionally funny. The only negative note is that as the film had almost no idea how to begin then it ends without any idea of how to end.
Ricky Stanicky (2024)
Wow
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
This film is the classic film with very intense American comedy, that type of comedy whether you love it or hate it, there is no middle ground and I loved it madly. The film is very funny, truly spectacular and the fact that it has also included a good moral is really very surprising and further enriches this film which in my opinion deserves very high ratings. A very light and very funny comedy that gradually becomes deeper and deeper, transforming the film from beautiful but forgettable to beautiful and with a truly unexpected depth if one simply reads the plot.
Rebel Moon - Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness (2024)
Underrated
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
In my opinion the evaluation of this little saga made up of only two films is really too negative because in the end the film manages well in my opinion to build a good narrative universe in these films, for goodness sake the story has already been seen but it is a very classic science fiction story that In my opinion it is very entertaining and has spectacular special effects. Then it is true that there are also many defects, especially narrative slowness in some points and a total lack of explanation in others which make some scenes incomprehensible but if one watches it with normal expectations based on what was seen in the first film then this is the worthy heir, a good film despite its flaws.
About Cherry (2012)
A disaster
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
Soulless film that focuses on the wrong choice of famous actors who have unfortunately decided to lend themselves to this useless crap. The film has a very banal plot and seems to focus almost exclusively on very provocative actresses and that's it because beyond that it has nothing. The plot then causes a lot of annoyance because as a basic idea it presents itself as a poignant and profound story, however completely ruined by the inability to make the film actually profound, leaving it solely to the superficiality of sex.
The Family Man (2000)
Nice
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
This film is proof that sometimes a good moral can improve a film that otherwise would be the usual half-baked family comedy and instead turns out to be a really good film from start to finish. All in all the film is made solely according to its moral and this is precisely how films of this kind must be made because in terms of plot it is very banal and in terms of comedy this is also banal but if one then watches the film with a broader perspective then one sees the little pearl that this film is.
Disquiet (2023)
Underrated
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
In my opinion, such a low rating of this film is truly merciless because we should reward the idea that even if banal it is still really very beautiful and from the middle onwards it is also managed quite well, the thing that matters most about this film is the initial part which it's really badly made and it's a terrible shame, it seems that unlike many other films here they didn't want to make the beginning and so they dragged it out and then gained passion and desire in the rest of the film. So I believe that the film is underrated and deserves a little more consideration because in the end it is entertaining and fully sufficient.
Coupez! (2022)
Wonderfull
This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
So, there is only one thing to say about this film and it is an absolute masterpiece because this is the film, a hilarious jumble of nonsense stuff which then gets better with the explanation continued throughout the film. You have to keep in mind that this film is a remake and in my opinion this is its strength because the film doesn't hide it, a lot of stuff is purposely constructed to make clear the fact that it is a remake and in the film they even say that it is a remake and in my opinion this stuff is sooooo brilliant. I recommend this film to everyone because it makes you laugh and is therefore good for anyone who wants to have a light laugh.
